My brother is a physicist, he is the smartest person I have ever known in my life and will probably ever know. Listening to him describe and explain these concepts is completely mindblowing and so many people who want to believe are just incapable of understanding the magnitude of what it would actually take to make contact with intelligent alien life.

And I have to mention again how much it irks me when people say humans just aren't smart enough or too greedy or barbaric or whatever to achieve interstellar capabilities. It has nothing to do with any of that. It really is just math.

As you know, I'm in agreement with you about the seemingly insurmountable problems of interstellar distances. Nothing can surpass the speed of light. And anything with mass cannot even "approach" the speed of light.

However... elsewhere you mentioned that scarce energy resources prevent a Roddenberry-like utopian world. I wonder what your physicist brother might think about the recent advances in "nearly unlimited" energy? Sounds like we're getting closer to harnessing fusion reactions.

Doesn't come anywhere close to solving the "interstellar distance" problem. But maybe it would go a long way to reducing our species bickering about limited energy resources here on earth? Here's one article among many on the subject.

Detective Hole on Netflix. Norwegian crime show. Pretty brutal start, good writing so far, one show in to it.

Also managed to score a ticket to Scotland vs Haiti in Foxborough so that will be awesome

Hello fellow Rams fans! I've been lurking on this site for many years and finally decided to register. I've been a Rams fan since the mid-70's (I thought the helmets were cool ). I've always loved the vibe here at ROD. So much more laid back and respectful than some of the other sites. Looking forward to contributing from time to time.

Welcome aboard. Feel free to dive right into the discussions.

Cheers and GO Rams!!!

Here's a pic of me and my band mates back in 1978 Freshman in high school.

Starting left to right.... Bongwater Bill (rhythm guitar), Me (lead guitar, lead singer and band manager), Julian (bass guitar) and kneeling (Bear - Drums)...... We all pretty much grew up together since grade school.



I still have the white Gibson 1976 Les Paul Custom today.

Man I know I posted this same comment in December but AI videos are all over the place. What happens when we can’t tell real from fake? We are not that far away.

What happens? I don’t think it’s good.

So I have been researching amp modeling so that I don't have to lug three amps a cabinet, multi FX unit and a three way amp switcher when I go out and gig with my pals. And I have to say I am over the moon with the TONEX Pedal and PC Client and TONEX 700 watt cabinet. I can run my acoustic guitars, my clean guitars and my Lead Heavy sounds just as press of the pedal selectors. I also purchased the 78-79 brown sound pack and if you're a VH or George Lynch tone chaser this setup just absolutely does and everything else.

My new setup and getting myself familiar with it.... while the wifey is at work... lol... then I'll take it upstairs to the gig room



The three amps I will be storing away

yo it's not April's Fools yet.
sigh.
guess I gotta keep waiting....

The funny thing is that this will actually not stop the brain reverberating inside their head. Padding will only help to stop cuts to the head.

Nah. It absorbs some of the impact energy. Like a crumbling car chasis does. A hard helmet hitting the ground or another hard helmet, the brain absorbs the hit. The soft exterior of this cap collapses and removes some of that energy.

I got this TAG a few years ago. It's my daily wearer. Funny thing is though that unless I am wearing a pair of readers, I can't read the time in low light so I just pull out my phone. I always wore watches growing up - generally cheap Casios - but did have a nice Seiko that I left at an airport when I went through security in a hurry to catch a plane. It wasn't extravagant or anything - maybe a couple hundred bucks several years back. But it was my first nice watch. I love this TAG though. It's more jewelry than function but it just feels right to have a nice watch on my wrist.

I miss mine A LOT!

Have wanted to do it again but prior to retirement, would spend 8 months in PA and 4 months in SW FLA. Now that I'm here practically year round, I may do it again. But the issue is getting someone to feed them when I take trips.

Yes, the affects of the therapy are wonderful.

Funny, I started with fresh water and had a room full of tanks. I would go in there and sit on the couch and just RELAX.

LOLOLOLOL

Both of my twins have multiple tanks. One only has 4, and they are all freshwater. Each tank holds fish from specific geographic locations. All of his tanks are planted with live plants and some of them grow out of the tank and hang down under the tank or grow up straight and tall above the tank. The other twin has 5 total tanks... one of his is saltwater and he keeps both live corals and fish together in it. All of his are in his bedroom and his lights are timed so he falls asleep before the lights turn off.

One of the very best fish stores in the country for saltwater is here in the Orlando area. People in South Florida drive up here to buy all of their live creatures... Top Shelf Aquatics. You'll want drive up and get your fish there once you have been there.

Get yourself a great tank service guy. Most of those guys will handle your feeding too.
