Surely there is enough in the news for American expats to discuss here without some OP stirring things up with a one sided blast.

'Show-offs' Yeah I envious...I have never learned how to surf the waves let alone perform while surfing...champion status yes/no?

Well, he does say '....more degrees than a thermometer...' High IQ, high ESP and more.

Yes, a six inch deep wound is enough to pierce organs. Whatever his condition when climbing that injury has got to hurt a lot. Hope he survives.

To me the post reads like 'a memo to set up a committee which will set up sub-committees .....' While I admire any thoughts such as this Thailand will need to get its education system in order first and that's not a 'five minute job'.

There is a Thai proverb which amounts to the same thing โลภมากสวภหวย it has a couple of meanings sometimes pictured as a canine that has a bone in its mouth but sees a magnified reflection (perhaps in a river) and tries to grab it thus losing the real bone in the process.😀

I doubt if he could fit in the cab 😀

On the other hand if she is a doctor (of medicine) then she should know what to do or at least who talk to. I admit that there should some reaction to the incident but to claim PTSD is a bit over the top. Don't like to think how she would something really disturbing.

Yes, it does seem very difficult to accept that 'time' may not actually exist especially when there are numerous hypotheses and ideas about 'time travel'. I mean, although the Special and General Theories of Relativity tells us that 'time' is not a constant they don't actually deny its existence. However, there are researchers who say that the change that happens from one point to another is just that, a change from one situation/condition to the next. We give this a name, Interval, and we also add another property, a count. which we call time. So we have 'time interval'. An Artificial Emergent property.The idea of 60 seconds has its roots from thousands of years ago first written by the ancient Sumerians but since calendar agriculture was well established before then the root may go back much further. At daily level it suits us well. It gives us an order of things happening but when you go outside this 'daily box' either on the quantum level of the cosmological high velocity level, 'time' loses that neat definition we have for daily life.

No, that is Galilean thinking. In SR the the limit is 3x108 m/s and where both the time and space axis meet. However we are going off topic a bit. What meant originally is that while many things could affect the Earth's rotation and thus our clocks, it won't matter to other planets. So in that sense Earth's rotation does not govern 'time'. Indeed the rotation of the Earth was much faster in the past that it is now.

We stamp a time, but to a light beam time does not exist...according to Lorentz frames of reference.

Galilean Relativity maybe but Einstein said that time is relative

'The inexorable march of time, governed by the Earth's rotation,' this alone tells us it's not worth reading....Earth does not govern 'time' and it means even less to those who consider time as an illusion.

Apart from Bollywood where Indian love and dance routine are the usual,the industry moved away from the so called 'heartthrob' actors, crime and mystery theatre types to action movies etc. where focus changed to the action rather than the actors. Having said that in ancient times entertainment was all about action and killing gladiators so I guess we have come full circle except then it was real and now it isn't.😀

Should have been called 'mouth watering' thread. Chip butties stuffed with grated cheese.

Sad news, best wishes Princess.

Two were shot in the back of the head? Only four shots heard...you can see where I'm going with this....

Basically when scientist say '...they don't understand...it usually means something has happened that doesn't fit their model(s). Happens often in Astronomy when they say '...should not exist...' If that something does exist then obviously their models must are missing some detail or are wrong. With climate change it's even worse because there isn't just one model there are several. But this is not surprising since the equations we have for turbulence etc. (Navia Stokes, Noether ) are difficult to solve.

Kicking someone in the groin in that tight skirt...she would have had to hike it first which isn't mentioned in the OP

Just been looking at a NZ news channel. The parents of the brothers have spoken but the quotes given were short saying they hope this ends well. Don' think that is likely.

I was at the car service station earlier (brake light problem) and I read this on my phone while waiting. I too laughed and other customers there looked at me.

Hmm, I don't think it is quite like that. Only a very small % of those reports I investigated were interesting and that most people knew very little about what was more than a short distance above their head. The planet Venus was one the most reported objects back then along with lenticular-like cloud formations. (As a side note, it does surprise me how many people automatically think that people who investigate such reports are 'believers' themselves. Yes there are some but even here there is an ulterior motive... like getting media attention...while most are knowledgeable about Astronomy and related topics. It is also a way to get to know about human nature and meet some interesting people...well it used to be.)
