Being in the Number Two spot isn't so bad, is it?

I don't get why it took the guy 5 minutes to decide to crawl over to the driver's side of the car... I could see the complication if the passenger side was blocked as well. It was obvious that he wasn't going to fit in the driver's side even before he tried it, not sure why he even bothered with that, but then to spend 5 more minutes trying to figure things out... I mean he doesn't look so big as to make crawling over impossible or even difficult, just inconvenient, so why the long delay to finally do it?

Also I wonder if he even learned the lesson? Did he learn that his rich boys car isn't special and that taking up two premium parking spaces to protect his car isn't the nice thing to do? I'm not too bothered when some rich idiot takes up two spots with their nice car in the back of a parking lot far from where everyone else parks, though really, parking away from everyone else should be plenty, but when they do it in premium spots like here, that's when it becomes an issue. Add to it the guy is to much of an idiot to just crawl over right away...

Some mildly interesting stuff, but seriously, a clip show with a sponsor splash and two spots? All it is is him taking other videos off Youtube and duplicating a couple of them. What a putz.

Ugh! Cato institute Bullshit.

Sweden offers the best care and chance of survival against cancer in the Nordic countries, according to a new study published in The Lancet medical journal. However, we do have queues for optional surgeries and as in the US the amount of doctors being trained is kept artificially low so we have a lack of them (helps with keeping the wages high). Also paperwork. Tons and tons of paperwork for the doctors.

(A small addition that has a lot to do with the last part of the original Blog Post.)

The one I posted directly above has some small changes for easier reading. I still need to do a little idea storming at the end as I'm VERY unsure whether the forces at play would still hold the Universe together.

It's more likely that the "big rip" will win out, even over the weak and strong nuclear forces (which is a lot of energy considering that it just did it to the UNIVERSE! heh...

I also need to see, particularly under what conditions the Universe might start to be "swayed" by quantum fluctuations, the same you see at the beginning of the big bang, that had a lot to do with how matter and other non-baryonic (that 's the official way of saying, matter that isn't like the stuff we know: like Dark Matter) matter set up (when you look at the cosmic background radiation (CBR) map, the "hot vs. cold") topography wise; it's why the Universe isn't a smooth uniform (or symmetric) balanced energy place; which you would expect from a perfect explosion like the Big Bang, but the CBR shows that the explosion was far from being smooth and quite the opposite.

It's what gives us our galaxies and also where they're at. The question besides how gravity is related to the quantum mechanics realm; as we have NO theory (with a few hypotheses that almost all have to do with string theory: strings of energy in different "dimensional" configurations; like one dimension, two dimension (planer), etc..."; these little strings vibrate, kind of like a standing wave and intercede and connect into our dimension: think of a plane with limited dimensions on the x & y, then imagine a line intersecting in two spots--one coming "up" the other going "down", but the second connection BARELY hits the plane.

On our end we see a photon that appears to act like a particle and wave in whichever situation it's facing.Normally it may only act like a wave the first spot, but since the energy of this photon is a gamma ray (increased energy) it caused the string to vibrate more forcefully. Thus, connecting it to our "planer" observable space-time. But, when the energy decreases, the photon's string is pulled back and all of a sudden it only displays one of the two characteristics. Baryonic matter works the same way in String Theory, but requires VERY hard math to solve the discrepancies (one of the reasons some people hate it as it isn't a so called "elegant solution"; everything we've seen so far, while hard to grasp initially--tends to, "so far", work out to be very easy solutions).

However, string theory has described many things we have found out in the particle world very well. Another idea (which is more elegant and to me, the presence of "e" in it is very, intriguing) is E8 Symmetry. It's also a mathematical solution, so don't expect too much straight forward dialogue in it's definition. However, remember that Euler's number/The "Natural" number, "e", is related to a great many things already present in everyday life and the formation of almost everything from: you neural pathways, your circulatory system, clouds, trees/plants, sea shells, galaxies, fractals, and much much more...

What I need to know his how baryonic matter would react given a scenario were everything is ripped apart. Specifically, it's quantum mechanical reactions. Does it go into a "quantum critical state" (a fancy way of saying "pseudo"-superposition), as in this state it would still behave in a quantum mechanical way according to superposition. This leads to the last question. If it does enter superposition, is it possible that it may become "uncoupled, disassociated, or dis-entangled" from other matter, even non-baryonic matter like dark matter.

Anyway, just a bit more for what I wrote. More of me, thinking aloud, as I've read a lot about entanglement and superposition, but in this scenario I'd mot likely need an expert to think about it and give me an answer. Math will most likely be useless till we have some hard information on it; right now it's just pure observation. Then you may be able to commit yourself to some math that would show (or at least predict) what most likely would occur.

Another long ponderment! I'm keeping that word so screw you Merriam-Webster!

I just thought of the perfect place in Los Angeles to do our meet up: Hollywood Billairds. I used to be a regular there from 2000 to 2005, and the place is very large for a Los Angeles bar (most of them are tiny caves in a strip mall.). It's known for being a pool hall with two floors of pool tables. You can reserve a section for a private party, but believe me that's all a waste of money.

There's also Red Lion Tavern, which is way smaller than "Billiards", but has its charm. It's rustic and fun. I had my one of my weekend long 30th B-Day Parties there.

I piked these two spots because they're as east as you can get in LA without it getting sketchy or some place I think can manage our needs for a Sift-Up. Unfortunately both of them are a bit further north for those of you coming from San Diego, but take it from me, south and east is not a place you want to be. South and west? Yes. East and north? Yes. East and south? Fuck no.

Cuttlefish eyes are among the most developed in the animal kingdom. The organogenesis of cephalopod eyes differs fundamentally from that of vertebrates like humans.

Superficial similarities between cephalopod and vertebrate eyes are thought to be examples of convergent evolution. The cuttlefish pupil is a smoothly-curving W shape. Although they cannot see color, they can perceive the polarization of light, which enhances their perception of contrast.

They have two spots of concentrated sensor cells on their retina (known as fovea), one to look more forward, and one to look more backwards. The lenses, instead of being reshaped as they are in humans, are pulled around by reshaping the entire eye in order to change focus


And before anybody thinks i'm a marine biologist, thats taken straight from the cuttlefish wiki
