Have you heard of “sexy indifference”? A relative of mine mentioned it. It kind of makes sense. If you don’t seem desperate or greedy for a relationship, you’ll be more fun to be around and won’t care as much either, because you have your own thing going on.

The shots didn’t get anywhere near him, he is not a victim. Maybe all of the R’s can now go to golf clubs in solidarity with him. It would be way better than wearing a maxipad on their ears.

As detailed in the complaint, the defendants’ alleged scheme has three main components. First, an agreement to fix the price of peer review services at zero that includes an agreement to coerce scholars into providing their labor for nothing by expressly linking their unpaid labor with their ability to get their manuscripts published in the defendants’ preeminent journals.

Second, the publisher defendants agreed not to compete with each other for manuscripts by requiring scholars to submit their manuscripts to only one journal at a time, which substantially reduces competition by removing incentives to review manuscripts promptly and publish meritorious research quickly.

Third, the publisher defendants agreed to prohibit scholars from freely sharing the scientific advancements described in submitted manuscripts while those manuscripts are under peer review, a process that often takes over a year. As the complaint notes, “From the moment scholars submit manuscripts for publication, the Publisher Defendants behave as though the scientific advancements set forth in the manuscripts are their property, to be shared only if the Publisher Defendant grants permission. Moreover, when the Publisher

I think that’s an honest mistake. She was awarded the Women’s Grandmaster title and the International Master which is confusing unless you look at the standards. It’s arguably a world title holder? Maybe? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsa_Derakhshani

That’s a cute air biscuit.

Thanks for letting me know that Qwant is Bing. It’s hard as a typical person to find any info on search engines, so I appreciate the heads up.

I’ve been noticing that they’ve been getting worse and worse myself. I was recommenced Mojeek and Qwant, but I haven’t made the switch yet. I always forget to use them instead.

Well this is kind of funny that this came up soon after our convo:

If you know it’s a process, then why would you criticize science for changing theories in response to new evidence?

Why aren’t you open to not knowing everything and that our knowledge could change?

The “God particle” is the Higgs boson. They found it with the LHC.

Right, the fermi lab peeps were skeptical about ever finding it. LHC proved it. You’re making my case.

This tells me you don’t just not know how science works; you don’t understand what science is.

Do you? It’s a process of finding out. Have you proven that stones don’t have an energy that we don’t have the equipment to measure? The black and white in this thread is now becoming funny while spouting that you believe in the process.

I’m having a hard time with this. We don’t know what we don’t know and it takes a lot of undeserved confidence to say anything is for sure. Fermilab never found the god particle and we’re pretty sure that exists. I’m not saying it’s true, but you guys are being a little over confident. Think about all of the theories and hypothesis that have been altered or completely changed over time.

I appreciate you. https://imgur.com/gallery/new-favorite-gif-EkO9uj8

If I watch too much fantasy world or read about it too immersively , I think about how all of their powers are normal to them. Light, fire, storms, electricity, the states of water, tides, giraffes, etc., they’re all magical. We’ve just named them and have ways to describe how they work in an orderly, understandable, format.

I was thinking more “inner peace”, but “serenity” really works too. Congrats, it’s awesome to see someone not knowing why they feel great or having the words to describe it. We need to spread the serenity.

Generally, inner peace is defined as a low-arousal positive emotional state coupled with a sense of balance or stability (Cherif et al., 2022).

Low-arousal positive states are those calm and relaxed happy feelings that aren’t extreme or exciting. They include feelings of calmness, serenity, tranquility, and contentment, in contrast to feelings like exuberance, ecstasy, or euphoria. Low-arousal positive feelings come from within and may be more authentic, stable, and durable than high-arousal positive feelings (Dambrun et al., 2012).

I think you might be one of those truly mentally healthy people I’ve heard so little about.

Also for your urban planning nerds, this was posted a few days ago and looks great:

As a young graduate student in the late 1950s, Akira Miyawaki learned about the emergent concept of potential natural vegetation (PNV). This, along with his studies in phytosociology—the way plant species interact with each other—guided his explorations of the vegetation growing throughout his native Japan. Eventually, he began visiting Shinto sites and observing their chinju no mori, or “sacred shrine forests.” Miyawaki determined that these were time capsules, showing how indigenous forest was layered together from four categories of native plantings: main tree species, sub-species, shrubs, and ground-covering herbs.

Using this four-category system, along with his surveys of these sites and his knowledge of PNV and phytosociology, Miyawaki designed his own system for planting forests.

It works like this: the soil of a future forest site is analyzed and then improved, using locally available sustainable amendments—for example, rice husks from a nearby mill. About 50 to 100 local plant species from the above four categories are selected and planted in clumps as seedlings in a mix like you would find growing naturally in the wild. The seedlings are planted very densely—30,000 to 50,000 per hectares as opposed to 1,000 per hectare in commercial forestry. For a period of two to three years, the site is monitored, watered, and weeded, to give the nascent forest every chance to establish itself.

Holy shit, they also cancelled it. Lmao

On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

I see a fight coming your way in the talk section, lol. Good luck.

It’s probably going to be political since it’s wrong.

The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the palm tree family (Arecaceae) and the only living species of the genus Cocos. The term “coconut” (or the archaic “cocoanut”) can refer to the whole coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which botanically is a drupe, not a nut. They are ubiquitous in coastal tropical regions and are a cultural icon of the tropics.

It’s an old family name, for real.
