Reply to France insists G20 condemn Russia's war in Ukraine 'in the strongest terms' by milktanksadmirer
The West has no moral high-ground here. This is sheer hypocrisy.

Interesting example of a joke that does not work when you try to write it down.

If the sphere is totally precise, it suggests that the object is over-described in our space. Why is it not possible for its radius to vary. But we are dealing with objects that are spinning very fast. Maybe the spinrate, in rings is approaching the rate where it shreds. So the answer will be in a physical law that has spinrate as a parameter.

Surely if it existed the world would have known years ago. It is rather late to be saying this material exists but was stolen. It could be an elaborate deep fake fraud. If it came off it would be the most lucrative forgery ever. MJ's estate was in tatters, so where was this little gem hidden away ?

Reply to Sheep flocks operate as a type of ‘collective intelligence’ and elect temporary leaders to guide them while moving. The fluidity of this process is extremely surprising. by nimobo
No intelligence here. The forces at play here are the same as for schools of fish and flocks of starlings. Each one tries to maintain a relative closeness to others, while also maintaining a relative distance. The result can appear intelligent but is not.

Reply to Researchers have shown that individuals who are played a piano chord during sleep that was previously paired to a specialist form of nightmare therapy have happier dreams and fewer nightmares than those who didn't undergo previous pairing, showing that this approach can alter emotions in dreams. by rjmsci
Don't tell me they have claimed to have discovered sleep music.

Reply to Ex-Capitol Police officer charged with obstruction tells jury he is 'embarrassed' by Facebook chat with Jan. 6 rioter by drakejones99
The insurrectionists needed a few, maybe 12 to 20, Capitol Police to allow them to cross onto the lawn. They knew before the day that these Police were with them and would let them through. Here we see one guy chumming up to a Capitol Police Officer in order to add one more to the list of "turned" Capitol Officers. We can see this being realized in the video of the event. Riley was groomed by Hiles to gain access without creating a scene too early. After the event Hiles has sought to keep Riley implicated to save his own skin. No wonder Riley is embarrassed.

Reply to Pacific island nations suffered severe depopulation from introduced diseases as a consequence of contact with European vessels, a new study from The Australian National University shows by Wagamaga
Does it take ANU 150 years to publish a paper ?
But seriously, everything about this paper is flawed, Assuming building sites correlates to population is in no way a proxy. Look at current villages anywhere in the Pacific and you find a range of building/person ratios. This really depends on cultural practices. For example, look at Pitcairn Island and figure how many people live there.
Then there is the assumption that the variance is caused by disease. A huge human toll was due to tribal warfare when natives acquired guns after 1800. Some other stuff also happened in this period, and then there is emigration, as crew (Melville describes this).

We have a compulsion to see ourselves in the world around us. Optimus is scratching that itch.
