| I was going to say "Who picks a fight with the guy holding the jelly burner?", but I can't find a reference on Google for jellyburner being a euphemism for flamethrower. It was a common enough term last century. But the underlying point was...only drunk, short men with a chip on their sho... |

| It has been a long time (decades) since someone has told me that. At 6"1' and 300+ pounds, I have a sturdy body frame like a linebacker. My arms are not very strong, but my back and legs are unusually strong. (In college I would often max out the weights on back and leg machines in the gym.) So... |

| It would be interesting to take certain radioactive isotopes and study them with this method of BEC. The data might explain how the W+ bozon is formed in select isotopes. The W+ decays into an antimatter version of an electron (positron) and an electron neutrino. (The masses of the two daughter part... |

| Val was one of the nicest celebrities that I have ever met at an event. He graciously signed my DVD copy of Real Genius. He could not talk much at the time due to his past throat cancer surgery. When I told him that I really liked his character from the movie, his eyes lit up, he smiled and said it ... |

| When I graduated with my doctorate in chemistry, it was unfortunately during the great recession. My first post-graduation job was teaching chemistry at a local community college. I was paid less than what a starting grade schoolteacher (with a bachelor's degree) was making. (The one I talked to mad... |

| But humans won't stop making the same mistakes over and over and over and never learning anything. And that's why all the blatant stupidity in human history just repeats itself and gets worse each time. Wait until AI becomes self-aware (links with quantum chips stage) and starts making the choices ... |
