I do like how they tell you to move it to your inbox from the spam folder, since they finally caught onto the fact that any decent webmail client disables links in messages flagged as spam
why do those things always look like they were written by someone who failed sixth grade
they only want to actually deal with the biggest suckers because someone who isn't the sort of sucker to fall for a horrifically misspelled message is more likely to realize it's bullshit halfway in and waste their time

ok so the windows 10 november update fucks up so bad that it cannot be recovered and I need to reinstall windows 8.1, which means that I am stuck with 8.1 as when I try to go to 10 it grabs the most recent version which curls up and dies when I try to install it
that is fucked up. it took me forever to get this laptop to actually recognize the windows 10 update being a thing, which is annoying because it came with 8.1 which is hell, but now that it's on 10 it's fine
anyway if those people were on the streets every day I would be fucking scared
I've probably told this story before, but I was in New Orleans a couple of years after Hurricane Katrina and martial law was still in effect--humvees full of soldiers from the local base patrolling the streets. I was lying down on the front yard of the place we were staying at (a gutted, cockroach infested church--good preparation for living in Brooklyn) and two of them came up to me, rifles slung over their shoulders, and said I wasn't allowed to be doing that. Because apparently it looked like I was dead? I just nodded, kept my mouth shut and went inside.
In retrospect, considering the neighborhood was almost entirely black, that was extremely tame compared to what a lot of people must have gone through.

I don't even wanna think about how that would work
He has no serious editors and nobody's going to tell him that, as a critic once said of John Hawkes, "his quirks became affectations and his affectations became his style."
Also I'm pretty sure his fine motor skills literally are very deteriorated at this point

As far as I'm concerned, if the only way I can tell you're a civilian police officer and not a soldier ready for combat is the giant word "POLICE" emblazoned on your uniform, things have gone horribly, horribly wrong.

I want to like chemistry. I mean, I really do. You get to go in the lab and mess around with dangerous chemicals and watch them react and heat them over and open flame and it's all kinda fun!
But so much of it is, effectively, purely conceptual. Yes, subatomic particles actually exist, but I can't interact directly with them in any meaningful way, so it ends up being a bunch of theoretical stuff that I can't quite wrap my head around. Energy levels and orbitals and quantum numbers...I find it hard to make any sense of it all.
I found orbitals and all that pretty easy to understand, since I'd studied electronics before chemistry, and the behavior of electrons is pretty important there. That and I knew basic organic chemistry before I actually knew how covalent bonds worked :o

really? i haven't gotten shit about quantum except pretty vaguely in transistors
A delayed choice quantum eraser experiment, first performed by Yoon-Ho Kim, R. Yu, S.P. Kulik, Y.H. Shih and Marlan O. Scully,[1] and reported in early 1999, is an elaboration on the quantum eraser experiment that incorporates concepts considered in Wheeler's delayed choice experiment. The experiment was designed to investigate peculiar consequences of the well-known double slit experiment in quantum mechanics as well as the consequences of quantum entanglement.
The delayed choice quantum eraser experiment investigates a paradox. If a photon manifests itself as though it had come by a single path to the detector, then "common sense" (which Wheeler and others challenge) says it must have entered the double-slit device as a particle. If a photon manifests itself as though it had come by two indistinguishable paths, then it must have entered the double-slit device as a wave. If the experimental apparatus is changed while the photon is in mid‑flight, then the photon should reverse its original "decision" as to whether to be a wave or a particle. Wheeler pointed out that when these assumptions are applied to a device of interstellar dimensions, a last-minute decision made on earth on how to observe a photon could alter a decision made millions or even billions of years ago.
While delayed choice experiments have confirmed the seeming ability of measurements made on photons in the present to alter events occurring in the past, this requires a non-standard view of QM. If a photon in flight is interpreted as being in a so-called "superposition of states," i.e. if it is interpreted as something that has the potentiality to manifest as a particle or wave, but during its time in flight is neither, then there is no time paradox. This is the standard view, and recent experiments have supported it.[clarification needed][2][3]

well now I know what I'll be doing for the rest of the evening
seems windows has... fucked up
that's lovely
D:
In too much pain to move
The weather is a bit shit

Does anyone else have this problem?
check and remember you never knew anything
ouch
WHAT THE FUCK
