    any nudists here

    I'm still trying to figure out how this website works. If you mean exchanging PMs I'm all for that

    any nudists here

    I wouldn't call myself a fully-fledged nudist, but once myself and my homeboy changed our wet swimsuits for dry underpants in front of beachgoers before going home. "Let's don't be selfish and let everyone see our peckers," said my friend before disrobing himself.

    Any one else here obsessed with physics?

    Honestly, I haven't encountered the term "absolute length" before I read the material on this thread. If I understand the term correctly, it refers to centimeters, meters, kilometers, etc. I'm not sure how the set theory relates to the term. From a physicist's point of view, because of...

    Any one else here obsessed with physics?

    I had audited a graduate course on information theory. Claude Shannon has shown that under certain conditions it is possible to develop a self-correcting coding system that allows a flawless transmission of messages. However, so far no one has come up with such a system; although many have...

    I Need More Heroic Traits

    There are several ways of dealing with fair use. Some books are in public domain because they were published more than 70 years ago after the author’s death, you can quote them freely. In the US the general advice regarding fair use is to limit quotation to 500 words. In most European...

    I Need More Heroic Traits

    Historical fiction is a very interesting genre, not too many writers venture into it. Why you're not willing to publish your stories? I don't know about you, but some writers, including my friend, are perfectionists, they think that their work needs never-ending improvements, which is a serious...

    I Need More Heroic Traits

    Some people take childhood fantasies too serious due to their low intellectual level. There was no need to handcuff a child to a bed because he was acting out on his fantasies. Persistent fantasies are a strong indication that you can be a successful writer. Maybe, writing is a way for you to...

    Any one else here obsessed with physics?

    String theory with its multiple universes is a load of crap. One thing is to say that there are alternative universes that can be reached from our universe; this might be true, after all. But saying that all these alternative universes are unreachable for us, and we cannot prove their existence...

    Any one else here obsessed with physics?

    Judging by the video title, this scientist's assertion is in total agreement with my assessment of the black hole situation. The problem here is that, from the astronaut's point of view, he reaches the event horizon in finite amount of time, while for the independent observer, who is placed away...

    Pure mathematics

    I have mixed feelings about Gödel. On one hand, he had proved that a modern system of arithmetic (some extended it to the entire body of math) is incomplete, there is no objection to that. But some of his fans have extended his assertion to physics, which is, in my view, totally unrealistic...

    Odd question from another autistic

    In reference to the link - I appreciate your sense of humor. Regarding more serious matters " “Several types of chemicals are linked to neurological disorders, including heavy metals like lead and mercury, pesticides, solvents, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like phthalates and...

    Odd question from another autistic

    Yes, you are correct, I don't know if the child was born with autism or acquired it due to the parental misguidance; I'm not the one who diagnosed him. The article authors diagnosed him with the acquired autism. Did they come to the correct conclusion? It is not for me to judge their methodic...

    Odd question from another autistic

    Of course, cases like this one don't happen in wilder population. In statistics such cases are called "outliers" and not used for further inferences. No one, including myself, would use this case to say anything of value about the important cases of autism. Other than listing listing this case...

    Odd question from another autistic

    I mentioned at another thread that I know about only one case of extremely bad parenting that caused autism. It happened in Russia. A child was adopted by a family who kept him chained to a kernel, where he lived like a dog. Somehow, he managed to escape and then was raised in an orphanage. As a...

    Odd question from another autistic

    It would be helpful if the authors of autism articles specify the forms of autism they refer to, but in all cases that came to my attention they didn't make the distinction. There is a way, though, to bypass this difficulty -- currently I am looking for articles establishing relationship between...
