Thanks for taking the time to explain this. Quality replies are much appreciated! I think that narrative, as you put it, is generally a good thing as it helps us to remember information and make sense of the world. I work in research so I didn’t think twice about the distinction between the and a scientists. Not so sure that scientism is in my top 10 problems list, but it it is still good to be aware of such biases.

Skype is still out there! The Dutch MoD host their own Skype servers.

Thanks for making me aware of scientism. I am a little unsure how it applies here through.

Yeah no I knew someone that had that happen, he managed to park on the emergency lane and it took a while for someone to figure out that he was dead.

Enjoy eternal torture

But still they come

Yooo I have 1030 hour in Planetside 2, One of my favorite games ♡

That was a tough read in both ways.

I hear you I hear you. Whenever people ask me about my device I usually tell them that you just exchange the windows problems for linux problems. I don’t mind fixing things as much because the device really feels like my own so I am more forgiving than I was on my other devices. Don’t know how that is for other distros since there are so many but in my experience but yeah I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to repair my bluetooth audio.

Jeez that doesn’t look good

I don’t know much about this CHWTIA. But I do know someone who works at Capgemini, can you tell me why they are considered exploitative? Genuinly curious.

yeah look up the passenger pigeon. Used to be delicious

I do see a a fair amountof Chinese researchers publish in Applied Sciences and those are in English. I don’t know about other journals like Nature or the paid journals, but yeah at least some are publishing in English.

not to be a party pooper, but as far as I know the casimir force is essentially the van der waals force. The way I understand it is that the vacuum energy method used to calculate the force on the plates is not correct, however it seems to be an approximation of the underlying driver of this effect which is the van der waals force.

Here is a publications in Physics letter that outlines the idea.

It’s likely a light read for a physicist but a though one for a well read electrical engineer (me) but once again, I’m not a physicist so take it with a grain of salt.

Hmmm I’m more of a File.zip.tar.gz.epub.7z.xs guy

Huygens optics is really taking of, love that guy!

I really like Illinois EnergyProf Talks a lot about energy, reactors, turbines, solar you name it
