    rattbagge replied to Could you think of a question that it would take a classical computer years to find the correct solution?:
    One immediately thinks of 'The Last Question'. It took even Multivac millennia to come up with the answer didn't it? The answer to 'can entropy be reversed'.

It took even Multivac millennia to come up with the answer didn't it? The answer to 'can entropy be reversed'. If we happen to be living in the post-Multivac era (and how else could we possibly know of it?) then we have much to thank computer technology for.

Anyway, our planet/sun/galaxy/local group of galaxies, is in constant motion. A moving target in fact. It's best to keep on the move in a dangerous multi-plane, interleaved-universe, system like ours. You never know who's out there, or in here, or what their intentions are.

I had an extreme phobia for hypodermic needles. One year they transitioned to the more agreeable hypodermic gun method, where the serum is injected directly through the skin under high pressure, obviating the need for a needle. That year, 1970, I later got the flu. I have never had a flu injection since - and never suffered flu since, either.

    Thank you very much RJ. I read your sad tale and my now tears have shrunk my shirt so tight on me I can't get it off. I'm sure there is a bee in there too, and it can't get out either. I don't think there will be a good ending for either of us. Thanks RJ!

She's decided to torture us with her absence for not agreeing with her every pronouncement? She's run out of clean laundry? She finally went dotty and they've taken her off to a place with high walls, no windows and no Internet, from where she can do us no more harm? Or, she was never real in the first place, just a dark creation of some mad scientist from a rival Q &A forum sent to annoy us to distraction? Could be almost anything, really.

    If you were to learn everything there is to know here on Earth, then which world have you determined to be lacking this knowledge, and how do you propose to execute your plan without imputing ignorance, thus causing offense.

    Ah, sounds like you have a real question there, needing a real answer TM. You'll need to seek out the sense and logic necessary for a meaningful answer on a more appropriate platform.

    That gets us so very little closer to the actual answer surely? Lots of countries have presidents, even if they don't say it in English. But no, I wasn't thinking of Richard Millhous Nixon. But don't give up now.

    The summit is being hosted by Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, who in November announced the federal government would be spending $327.6 million over five years on anti-gun and gang initiatives, and $100 million annually thereafter.
    "We're seeing young males resorting to the use of firearms where they hadn't in the past," said Inspector Mark Patterson of the Ottawa Police Service's guns and gangs unit.'- so is this, and other indicators of late, signs that humanity is progressing, or retrogressing? Maybe it is just part of a recurring cycle.  less

    Their grim empyrean transits while we sleep,
    To murder and to maim their helpless foe
    Slumbering innocently far below.
     
    They skulk across the town with engines stilled,
    Yet this night’s mission shall go unfulfilled -
    Though silent and unseen, we know they’re there.
    Hark! Now! Our lads wreak vengeance in the air!

    About this population explosion - how will it end?

    1) We will come to our senses and deal with it.

    2) It will all go away

    3) The aliens will come in their UFOs and save us

    4) God will save us

    5) Mass starvation

    6) Catastrophic geologic or climatic change will end it all

    7) Conflict to near extermination of humanity

    8) Deadly pandemic or catastrophic genetic change.

    9) A combination of the above

    10) Something else - you choose.

    . . . . . . . What do YOU think?

  • Covid 19
    Posted December 19, 2020
    What is the best we can hope for with the Covid epidemic:

    a) It will eventually blow itself out like many pandemics do.
    b) It was clearly engineered by some unknown agency to clear out the dead wood of humanity, the hangers-on and the crumb-gobblers, the indecisive, the ineffectual, the gawmless and the incompetent, in order to enliven and enrich the species.
    c) It is a test to see how firm our resolution in pretending all is well and to carrying on as usual.
    d) We will see that current attitudes and precautions are inadequate to meet the challenge, and will very soon smarten up and tighten the covid precautions across the board, regardless of suffering lower income and of missing out on important sports and entertainment events and other accustomed conveniences. 
    e) Get out there and smash up some stores and vehicles and assault a few people because our normal opportunities for fun have been unfairly quashed by heartless covid restrictions. It's so unfair - I mean, WE didn't cause covid!
    f) Patiently wait for covid to do its job, so I and my friends can play on the interstate without fear of getting mown down or interrupted by crazy uncaring drivers, plus we can help ourselves to all the terrific stuff lying around for the taking.
