Random thought: Assuming standard physics, with big bang & expanding universe... Where the further you look out, the farther back in time you see..🤔 and the closer all the galaxies would be to one another..🤔

How can the bubble of space-time that comprises your visible universe, be contained by an area smaller than your visible universe?

Look in any direction, and find a landmark (skymark? spacemark? 😅). Then look perpendicularly and find another. Would they be both visible in both directions?🤷🏻‍♂️

Outer Space is not a perfect vacuum

Think of it like a gas or plasma with a lower density than air near the surface of the earth but a higher density than zero

When light is red shifted it is assumed that an object is traveling away

Because all light coming to earth is red shifted relative to the expected emmission pattern it is incorrectly assumed the Universe is expanding

But as light travels through a medium it can be red shifted

The Universe is not expanding

Big bang is wrong

Because sadly enough on both on both sides of violence you usually have people who want to continue solving the problem with violence, and you have people who want to use other methods of solving the problem. And the strange thing is that the West keeps portraying Vladimir Putin as Hitler who who wants to eradicate everybody when in fact Vladimir Putin is one of the people who tried for the longest time to do this without violence. So it's an utterly skewed way of looking at the different political actors. And Europe itself is self-brainwashed at the moment which is why it can't figure out what is actually going on.

And still, even then, the West managed to undermine and and pulled the Ukrainians away from the brink of peace. They were at the brink of peace and the West pulled them away. So the only conclusion left at this point is that this is a deliberate policy to prevent neutrality from actually pacifying a conflict, the way that it is obvious to any any awake observer.

Volume control not working on USB audio device
The device in question is the USB dongle for my 2.4 GHz wireless headset. Everything works fine except for volume control, so it is stuck at max volume, regardless of where the volume slider in pavucontrol is. Volume controls within individual websites and programs work, but it seems that the system volume control is delegated to the USB device, which itself has no concept of volume control. This is the case with both pulseaudio and pipewire. Is there a way to limit the system-wide volume before it reaches the dongle?

Mass incarceration and the criminalization of poverty have created a modern-day abomination—nearly two million incarcerated people in the United States have no protection from legal slavery. A disproportionate percentage of them are Black and people of color. Every day, incarcerated people work—under threat of additional punishment—for little to no pay.

Why Theresa May was right to ignore David Aaronovitch over child sex abuse in North Wales


Times columnist David Aaronovitch. Pic credit :Flickr
Times columnist David Aaronovitch. Pic credit :Flickr

Two years ago when Theresa May announced she was re-opening the police investigation into the North Wales child abuse scandal Times columnist David Aaronovitch penned a highly controversial column warning that the nation was in danger of mounting a modern witch hunt over alleged paedophilia. Indeed his post was entitled Beware a modern Salem over child abuse.

He pointed out that both the original John Jillings report and the ” exhaustive inquiry ” by retired judge Sir Ronald Waterhouse Lost in Care had found no evidence of a paedophile ring and therefore there was no need for any fresh inquiries.

I remember disagreeing with him on the BBC Radio Four’s Today programme over his findings after reading the report. He was right about Waterhouse’s findings but failed to notice that the findings somewhat jarred with the detailed evidence contained in the same report.

He also firmly disagreed with the line taken by one survivor’s solicitor, Steve Messham, that Waterhouse had too limited a remit to inquire properly into the idea of an abuse network.

Fast forward to this week and Operation Pallial, the National Crime Agency run investigation set up by Theresa May, has achieved its first scalp,John Allen. He was sent to prison for life and given he is 73 will probably die there.

Nor was this minor stuff – he was convicted of 33 extra charges – that somehow had been missed in an earlier police investigation. The full background is outlined here in the Liverpool Daily Post. And he is not the only one to face new allegations which will be heard in future trials. To be accurate the latest Pallial statistics say 13 more people are facing trial, there are over 100 new suspects and over 200 survivors coming forward.

Now if David Aaronovitch had won the argument Mr Allen would be a free man and would have got away with all this and died peacefully at home. A lot of survivors claims would never have been proven and left to fester on no doubt ” lurid and preposterous” ( as Aaronvitch would have it) sites on the internet.

Of course Mr Allen, who had already been found guilty of previous offences, claimed in his defence he wasn’t gay, was not sexually attracted to children and had suffered a “miscarriage of justice ” when he was convicted in the first place. His accusers were making it up to get compensation money, his defence lawyers said. The jury did not buy this.

I raise this because some of the commentariat and the Establishment believe the latest allegations of a Westminster paedophile ring and alleged murders of some of the victims is another fantasy and leading to a new witch hunt. While the investigation is in no way as advanced as Pallial – Pallial shows it needs following through.

Theresa May in setting up Pallial and an overarching child sex abuse inquiry obviously does believe that further investigations are needed to find out what really happened decades ago. She is in on record that this could be ” the tip of an iceberg”. David Cameron believes this is ” stuff of conspiracy theories ” and David Aaronovitch reflects this view in his own column and tweets.

I am backing Theresa May on this one.

radiation warning trefoil

Still, after all these years, some people don't understand some of these words they throw around.

radioactive material: material that emits radiation
radiation: in this context, alpha, beta, or gamma radiation.

Alpha radiation consists of alpha particles. Alpha particles are identical to ordinary helium nuclei. They consist of two neutrons and two protons. They can cause damage because they are (positively) charged particles. They cause chemical reactions to occur that can damage living cells.

We are normally protected from alpha radiation by the outermost layer of our skin, the epidermis. However, if alpha-emitting material gets into the body--particularly, into the lungs--it will do damage, and continue to do damage, pretty much forever. This is quite likely, eventually, to lead to cancer.

Beta radiation consists of beta particles. These are actually electrons. Like alpha particles, they are charged particles and can damage living cells. They can normally be stopped by a sheet of paper. However beta-emitting material, like alpha-emitting material, can cause continuing damage if it gets inside the body.

Together, alpha and beta radiation are known as "ionizing radiation."

Gamma radiation is very high frequency (and, therefore, very high energy) electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Visible light is EM radiation. Radios, cell phones, microwave ovens, WiFi, and TVs also use EM radiation of different frequencies.

Gamma radiation is whole-body-penetrating radiation, and, because it can interact with the electron shells of atoms, it is also ionizing radiation. In fact, it's that interaction with electrons that radiation detectors exploit in order to detect gamma radiation.

Just being near a source of gamma radiation is enough to be harmed by it--even if the radioactive material emitting it never touches you.

In our submarine, back in the US Navy, there was a spot in the reactor tunnel (used to get past the reactor compartment when the reactor was operating) where a bit of crud from the reactor's main coolant had become lodged in a sample pipe. "Crud" (no kidding) was a technical term defined as "corrosion and wear products in the primary system." That crud contained some cobalt-60. This created a small area, where radiation exposure was higher, that we kept roped off.

The Navy's philosophy was that less radiation exposure is always better. Our limits were set as low as they could be while still being able to operate.

Any contamination with radioactive material at all outside the reactor itself, on a surface, in water, or in the air was considered unacceptable. If it occurred it had to be eliminated immediately. That little pipe was a problem. That place in the pipe was always going to be a low-flow area, and sooner or later some bit of crud was going to settle there. So we kept it roped off with purple and yellow rope with this sign attached.

the reactor tunnel (used to get past the reactor compartment when the reactor was operating)


Actually, there was no way to get past the RC other than the tunnel. The bulkheads around the RC were shielded with borated polyethylene (to absorb neutrons), and no one stayed in the tunnel or near the fore and aft bulkheads of the RC longer than necessary. It's all about minimizing exposure.

You might get a sense of joy from an interview with an artist, or a better understanding of some of the nuances of a geopolitical issue, or insight into a local controversy you had never heard of that mirrors something going on in your home.

Keep display output when monitor "Disconnected"

I am using a laptop, with a cheaper monitor that only has one hdmi input. I have two devices that I want to use on this monitor, My laptop and my xbox series, so I got an hdmi switcher.

The xbox handles switching to and from it's input without a hitch, but my laptop can takes up to a minute to recognize the switch and display to the monitor, sometimes not recognizing it at all.

I was thinking that having the laptop continue to output the display whether or not it recognizes the monitor as disconnected would help make switching between them more seamless. Is there a way to achieve this?

I am using KDE and I have the "Do Nothing" option selected under close lid in power options.

I think what you want is an EDID emulator with passthrough or whatever it's called. EDID is how a monitor tells a device what resolution to send and other info. Some cheap HDMI splitters, adapters, audio extractors, etc will let you emulate a specific EDID. One of my audio extractors lets you fake stereo vs surround support to trick the source into sending surround - I think that's also through EDID - since if you're trying to extract surround, it might be because your real TVs EDID is for stereo I assume. So you probably want something like that in before the switch so that the laptop always thinks something is plugged in. Your switch seems to be too smart in actually passing through the real monitor's EDID so the laptop is able to see when it switches.
