Hmm, or just lets all agree in that, in general, polluting our Earth is BAD, independent of the results 🙂 And if we can do about it, we should do our best 🙂


I can buy that right up until what I breathe out gets lumped in under the category of pollution. I have a private forest that is vey happy with my exhaling ...

 

Spoiler
while they have never told me as much personally but I did sense they are happy.

The thing is that opinions should not be limited to one bit. (Good/evil, black/white, etc.) They should be at least I16 datatype. 😄


Well, LabVIEW Boolean data type is 8 bits. NOW I understand why! 😄


Unless you are dealing with LV4 type boolean arrays. 🙂

I also often prefer the choice 0, i.e. "no opinion". Something that is missing from booleans.

Until you start strip mining for coal, of course. 😧

 

Sometimes I even agree with our Republican (ex)governator, even though I typically don't take actors and politicians seriously 😮

 

I love the uncertainty of science. It means we are not finished yet. 😄

If the world goes all TEOTWAKI on us and I have no other source of energy, I plan to use the coal that has already been mined and piled up before I start strip mining.

 

 

That is a picture of the National Coal Reserve just south of my place in my son's backyard. So the forest will remain as is (save a few huegel culture garden boxes and the orchard that replaced the jagger bushes.)

That is incredibly ironic considering some news I learned in the last week.  Intentionally not linking a reference

 

I could suggest a few more cartoon balloons for that meme

 

Religion, I don't think its off limits- Check out a pastafanarinism topic

and here

Oh, that first link has an ironic subjectSmiley Surprised

 

Politics- Search for Alpha1?

I am speculating but I have this impression that it was those threads that may have influenced Christian's "no religion" rule.

 

Christian,

 

Do you recall?

Oh please let me post a few quotes from alfa over on LAVA, it will be hard for me to pick my favorites:

 

"I explained on the DDTV channel today in Romania from my book what happen when people die. I gave a detailed explanation but now shortly:

When the subtle body separate from physical body is moving faster than the speed of light, that"

 

"Looks like inteligent people don't deseve a job in Canada." (I left the misspellings on purpose)

 

"Anyway don't make me problems:

If you'll go to doctor don't say the time is bidirectional."

 

"We know the 4-d space"

 

"the Ninth dimension and the Axiatonal Lines of Perfection is not real, is more like a cooking book; I didn't find much in Castaneda's books."

 

"I like n-dimensional trips !"

 

"Dick Chenney is a hunter.  The richest man in Romania invited for a hunting party: the owner of the Porsche company, an finance minister from Austria, Michael Sumacher...In my book a hunter is at animal level.I was thinking why people are killing other people or animals: because they SEE them as adversaries in the process of Evolution."

 

"For example are a lot of smart scientists but few wise scientists; between a smart scientist and wise scientist are couple thousands years in evolution (my book)."

 

"Living among unintelligent people is ugly!"

 

"My book I AM CREATING GOD is a proof that Jesus was right."

 

"Anytime when I am writing something about Canada on forums the secret police are calling me in 15min.; and of coures they don't say anything for 10s."

Starting from Dick ChaneyChenney, all are real gems! 😄 😄 😄

 

The crazy/strange (in a negative way) people I met in my life, for some reason, all of them seemed to be out of self-irony. My best professors at the university had a good sense of humor, and they did not take themselves too serious, but science. Whenever I meet a person, either a physicist, engineer, or whatever, if they show up in a too serious way, and proclaim things as the ultimate truth, I start to keep a distance 🙂  I always felt the most dangerous/harmful people either in a workplace or elsewhere are those who lack of self-irony.

So far this separation technique worked for me...

That took some work Brian. Thank you reminding me. I liked Alpha1. I hope he and his daughter are safe and well somewhere in time and space.
