    Chaplins Time Traveler?

    Looks like she is covering her face to keep from being filmed.

    Bubbles In Your Chest

    Had it, figured it was something catching on my ribs. Also used to have this thing where sneezing hard made the inside of my elbows really ache like I got punched there. Looked it up and seems like lots of other people have had it too and nobody knows the cause. Went away with my allergies.

    Parallel Lines - I'm an idiot.

    ^this^ You drew 3 line segments, not 2 lines.

    Why's the Lounge hidden?

    I used to hop in and check on the forums in between doing other stuff. Work computer, smart phones, friend's computer. It's was easy to go in and see what was going on in the Off Topic forums. I don't want to log in every time on random computers. It also takes a lot longer to log in to a...

    Why's the Lounge hidden?

    Okay, banned users then, my point is still that you are hurting everyone just to be able to target the banned users.

    Why's the Lounge hidden?

    Why don't we want infracted users to be able to see the lounge? It seems like implementing this punishment on infracted users actually is a much greater punishment on regular users and the health of the forum. It just seems like the benefit is pretty small (punishing a very small number of...

    120 Days Until the Largest Tax Hikes in History

    Constant growth of anything is impossible. There will always be a physical limit. Give me an example of something which can grow forever.

    Easy programming problem

    I am thinking of switching from C to Python or Matlab for my masters thesis. How do they compare. How steep would you say the learning curve is?

    120 Days Until the Largest Tax Hikes in History

    Maybe the problem is that constant growth is not actually possible. Even the term sustainable growth is a big oxymoron.

    You guys turn into a bunch of jackasses when you argue religion.

    I just can't wrap my head around it

    I think that No Limit has the same definitions of words that I do. He refuses to define these words, but I am pretty sure he uses them in the same way as me. I am making a big fuss because the contradiction in what he says is quite clear to me, but apparently not to him. I also like to argue on...

    I just can't wrap my head around it

    That is a terrible terrible understanding of logic. A particle disappearing and a particle teleporting to another universe are functionally the exact same thing. There is no way to discern these two events because they are really the exact same event from within our universe. The only difference...

    I just can't wrap my head around it

    That isn't a difference in the result. You haven't actually answered the question. Tell me, how would you know the difference between an atom doing the supposedly impossible, disappearing, and an atom doing something else equally impossible, teleporting to another universe. How can you tell the...

    Then that is by definition not a separate universe. You don't seem to understand the concept of a completely self contained universe. It includes everything.

    I just can't wrap my head around it

    Well you just described atoms disappearing. You tell me, what is the difference between atoms suddenly ceasing to exist or interact with our universe, vanishing, and atoms going to their own universe and atoms going to a magical happy fun world of atom amusement rides? What can we measure that...

    I just can't wrap my head around it

    I never called it crazy. I called it stupid. Like saying imagine if 1+1=3 and then proclaiming HOLY SHIT THAT'S ****ING AMAZING. THINK OF THE IMPLICATIONS!! I JUST BLEW MY MIND. That a set of interactions, other than what we know, can be described is pretty self evident and has absolutely zero...

    I just can't wrap my head around it

    I have never thought the universe was very small. I have always understood it to mean everything. If the atoms go someplace where they no longer interact in any way with anything else in this universe, then they have in essence disappeared. They went to the same place you go when you die. You...

    I just can't wrap my head around it

    Okay, so what is our universe? Define it. I would say that it's everything that exists. I think most people use the same definition. So what exists? Anything that is in our universe? Whoops, that's circular. So what exists? Anything that interacts with something already in our universe. Okay, so...

    I just can't wrap my head around it

    Here's a better way to put it: The only thing defining existence is perception. What you don't experience, either directly or indirectly does not exist. If you don't feel some effect from it, then it has no bearing or impact on you. Hence, it is exactly the same as something which does not...

    I just can't wrap my head around it

    Multiverse theory is the dumbest pile of shit ever invented by the internet. You say that there are other universes in existence just like our own, only we can't see them, or interact with them. So how do they exist again? It is exactly the same as saying that you have 3 dicks and then quietly...
