To be fair, that would be a good source of riboflavin.

Your question is unpleasant. Why would a person want to engage with it?

That fills me with despair

Yeah, but it got John the groundhog hoister to shave his awful mustache, so you know, time well spent

My parents cut the cord within a few minutes of my birth, but my umbilical stump/future navel got infected, and my bellybutton is 100% normal.

I’m a vegan who smokes weed and I think that’s the extent of my woo (though Ron Swanson would certainly disagree, I’m very often struck by how much woo German medical doctors are allowed to push).

I’d want to do it, partly because the large quantity of bioavailable iron calls to me, but also because of the oxytocin and potential bonding effects (if it doesn’t have any, it doesn’t have any: no harm done). I don’t think I want it enough to really push back against a doctor/hospital that didn’t want to allow it, but I might look for one that is open to it.

He’s currently Jim Bombastus

I guess you take vitamin D supplements, huh?

No but, you see, climate change increases entropy, which does something to time, I think.

Do it

According to Rear Admiral D.P. Mannix, who fought the Moros as a young lieutenant from 1907 to 1908, the Americans exploited Muslim taboos by wrapping dead Moros in pig’s skin and “stuffing [their] mouth[s] with pork”, thereby deterring the Moros from continuing with their suicide attacks.

This is eerily reminiscent of the Moro Rebellion. If there’s one thing that should never have been repeated, it’s that.

It does feel different, for people who also have a taboo against pork to be doing it.

I agree.

Some people like to cut slices

A peach. I prefer to eat my oranges segment by segment, so I don’t really find them messy, but a good, ripe peach should be messy as hell.

I so wish we could experiment with this to see where it actually breaks down

Even the “simple” stuff like the uncertainty principle takes a detailed understanding to properly grasp why there are pairs of properties that are inherently linked, and that information about one dictates how much you can know about the other. e.g. position/momentum and energy/time.

Well there’s my problem- that stuff does seem easy, so I’m probably skipping the work to understand it somewhere.

Thank you for this, by the way. I was thinking of the two entangled electrons as communicating with each other, rather than people communicating with each other through the entangled electrons, which I think makes a difference, because it doesn’t rely on interpretation, but obviously we can’t measure how or if electrons “communicate.” Is it correct that one of the limitations is in interpretation or am I reading this wrong?

I thought the reason quantum theory is so controversial is because it does break causality. Like, currently we can’t decipher it, but is that supposed to be a permanent state- that quantum information is indecipherable until it would no longer transmit information faster than light?

What about quantum entanglement sending a signal faster than light?

(I’m just some schmo who watched an extra credit history series on quantum computing, so there’s every chance in the world that I don’t have it right. )

Seth MacFarlane. I feel pretty neutral towards him (it’s been a while since I found family guy funny, but it’s whatever), but good god does his face look punchable
