Not everyone has childhood trauma, but many do have to deal with it. Otherwise, why would Pat Benitar had made a song called “Hell is for children” in the early 1980s? |

Thank you everyone for caring. I had to take a break after I posted my experiences as it reopened some parts of my past that I had tried to keep repressed for twenty years. I did not think it would hit home so hard, but it sure did. It is a lose-lose situation to deal with. I suffered loss of self-e... |

This topic has triggered me greatly. It is hard for me to write this but I was stalked by no less than three women (classmates) in grad school. All of their advances were gently rebuffed by me. Each of them just would not stop. They would pop up unexpected at different places that I was at after sch... |

My advice is to go after your goal of an education in your field of study. No one will care how old you are. There was once a great grandmother in Kansas that graduated with her bachelors degree in business at the age of 92. She then went on to complete her masters degree a few years later. Most wou... |

Edible electronics, probably not. Biodegradable computer chips, very likely if they can be built non-toxic. We have so many chips that have built in obsolescence already. Many of them are not recycled. |

Come to think of it ...he was the opposite of heroes of recent movies like Alan Turing and (to some extent) Oppenheimer, who served their respective countries, and then got f****d over BY their countries for their efforts! He was an enemy genius who...got pampered and ass-kissed by us! :lol: Yes, V... |

interesting. Didnt realize that the US ended up as Japan's protector. Both of the two Chinas were beholden to post war Japan for aid and trade. So niether raised much of stink about it until recent years. Did see a news story on TV about an exhibit in Japan about that Japanese germ warfare program ... |

The "sweet pea" people who live in modern China, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Phillipines, and Indonesia, have as many fond memories of their Japanese occupiers as the people of Europe have their German occupiers. And have no problem with the movie I would imagine. China has not forgotte... |

I don't think it's possible. DNA) degrades too much over thousands of years (I assume) It depends greatly on the conditions that it experiences over that time. It would preserve better under very cold conditions than hot areas. That is why scientists are after those mammoths that had been trapped i... |

I did a calculation today on the shipment, assuming that it contained only UO3. The 550 kg. Of UO3 could produce approximately 467.7 kg of uranium metal. The isotope separation part is tricky, but can be done with cyclotrons that the Japanese had. It would yield enough U-235 to make at least a few ... |

A little historical piece often lost to time: Germany did attempt to sent over their collection of processed uranium oxide (not enriched) to Japan right before the Nazi government fell. The captain of the submarine U-234 decided to surrender to US forces off the Eastern coast of the US. He had hear... |

I love mammoths as much as the next guy but.......why? Where are they going to live? Siberia? Canada? Patagonia?? What about the animals already living in those ecosystems? What will happen to species that share food sources with hypothetical mammoths? Will their populations partially die off to ma... |

Can't we just admit that the US really screwed the world over in the longrun by intoducing the atom bomb into the world and making us all less safe? I think the original plan was to use against the Nazis. You have to remember the Germans were on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb so technically... |

Yes, keep trusting AI to do the thinking. Nothing bad can come from that. |

How exactly would it provide a hedge against AI? :scratch: I imagine he thinks that boarding a mother-ship will be an escape from a scorched Earth where evil AI reigns supreme. I feel like assuming the AI wouldn't be on the spaceship as well isn't a very sound assumption to make. I agree with your ... |
