Just passed by Bremen which reminds me that nobody ever mentions the shade the story about the town musicians of Bremen throws on the city: why do the 4 animals want to go to Bremen in the first place? Because the musicians and/or the music taste in Bremen are so bad they would even listen to music made by farm animals. ANYONE can become a musician in Bremen.
Πολλοί ιστότοποι δημοσίευσαν σήμερα συνέντευξή μου στο ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ για τα απατηλά και ψευδεπίγραφα επιστημονικά άρθρα που δημιουργούνται με τεχνητή νοημοσύνη.
Η συνέντευξη και το κείμενο είναι της εξαιρετικής δημοσιογράφου του ΑΠΕ-ΜΠΕ, Αθηνάς Καστρινάκη. Μου έκανε εντύπωση πόσο καλά ήταν διαβασμένη και προετοιμασμένη με έξυπνες ερωτήσεις.
Στην Ανάφη λοιπόν που πήγα, άμα έχεις ένα μαντράκι κ θες να το ασπρίσεις δύο τρία χέρια, δεν έχεις παρά να γράψεις με σπρέι τη μαγική φράση #freepalestine. Ένα εξίσου μαγικό χέρι θα έρθει και θα σου ασπρίσει τον τοίχο σε χρόνο μηδέν. Επαναλάβετε όσες φορές θέλετε. Τόση ευαισθησία κ ευσυνειδησία.

Είναι κεντρική γραμμή της ΝΔ και του μηχανισμού της. Αρκεί να ξέρεις ποια είναι τα στελέχη στην επαρχία για να το καταλάβεις. Εδώ είναι μικρός ο τόπος, βλέπουμε ποιος μιλάει με ποιον.
@baskin Συμφωνοι. Ξαναρωταω: Εκτιμας οτι το κανουνε τα κομματοσκυλα κ οι παρατρεχαμενοι γιατι ετσι, ή γιατι εχει πεσει γραμμη ΕΠΙΤΕΛΙΚΑ ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΣΗ;
@baskin εγώ πιστεύω ότι είναι τα Ακροδεξιά φασισταριά του κάθε σημείου & τόπου που συνεργάζονται με τα δεξιά καμουφλαρισμένα πάντα αγάπες & φιλάκια κάνουνε σε τέτοιες στιγμές αφού τα έχουμε ξαναδεί

Article written by the originator of Quantized Inertia theory. His theory blows out Relativity, Newton's 1st and 2nd laws, and a bunch of other eStAbLiShEd PhYsiCs.
The reason to think it's true is because it resolves a bunch of paradoxes with the behavior of celestial bodies, which classical physics either sweeps under a rug, or else creates a bunch of "It's That Way Because It Is" post-hoc explanations.
If Quantized Inertia is real, it means we finally have a theoretical foundation to build quantum thrusters (flying saucer tech) and Free Energy devices.
It's hard to overstate how important a theoretical foundation is, compared to a guy who did something in his barn and saw a result. The guy in his barn doesn't understand what he did, and the next day when it suddenly stops working, he has no idea why. But the theoretical foundation means something can be made reliable and repeatable.
So basically, this is the Einstein we need, so we should definitely meme this into reality.
As a scientist I, of course, believe in science, but this does not mean I believe what experts tell me. Science is the opposite — the belief that one should…
What is a "It's That Way Because It Is" post-hoc explanation ?
Physicists can't explain the rotation of the galaxies. Based on the accepted model, they should fly apart. So they invent an imaginary form of matter which they call "Dark Matter" and they say "well, the galaxy has this stuff and that adds just enough gravity to keep it all held together".
But then when they look at another galaxy, their model doesn't explain that either, so they have to CHANGE the amount of Dark Matter in that galaxy, so that then it works again.
They are unable to *predict* anything, they only look at the results and then imagine the right amount of Dark Matter to make the results add up.
That's why this really isn't a theory in any honest sense of the word, but more a post-hoc rationalization and effective confession that the classical theory just doesn't work.
What's interesting about Quantized Inertia is that there are a NUMBER of different ways that you can deduce your way to Free Energy.
For one, the formula used by Dr. McCulloch to describe the thruster is (per my understanding of the paper) force = current * area / distance ** 2.
It should be self-evident that if this formula holds, building a Free Energy Device is trivial, because Power or Voltage is not a factor. So you can reduce the gap distance or increase the area and with the same current, you get more force with the same current. And since this is leakage over a capacitor, neither of those changes imply increase in voltage. In fact, a reduction in gap distance REDUCES necessary voltage!
But lets suppose for a moment that this formula doesn't hold. It has been experimentally confirmed[1] that you can make very small amounts of thrust - just barely measurable, with modest energy. We might imagine for a moment that the formula works at this scale, but it breaks down when you try to push it to a greater extreme.
EVEN SO, there is still a pathway to Free Energy using only the exact setup which has been experimentally confirmed. The experiment in [1] showed 0.0015 newtons of force using 0.0000025 amps at 5000v (0.0125 watts). But speed that the thruster moves is not part of the equation, and unless the thruster is actually throwing physical material out the back, it can't be.
But if a thruster can generate the same thrust-per-watt no matter the speed, that thruster is automatically a Free Energy machine. This is because a thruster driven around in a circle makes torque based on its thrust, and RPM based on the speed it is moving. Torque * RPM = power.
Suppose we took the 0.0015 newton thruster and put it out on the end of a 1 meter long crankshaft. We use 0.0125 watts of power to make 0.0015 newtons of thrust. On the end of a 1 meter crankshaft, that is 0.0015 newton-meters of torque. If we can spin that crankshaft up to 2000 RPMs, 0.0015 newton-meters of torque translates to 0.315 watts, so we have just made energy.
The reason why this is extremely relevant is because reactionless thrusters, while controversial, are begrudgingly accepted as "weird scientific phenomena". Free Energy on the other hand is well regarded as the land of nutters and scam artists. So demonstrating an equivalence between the two is a lovely and hilarious FuckYou to the entire Physics community.
Multiple companies are working on Quantum Thrusters, but nobody is pointing out the fact that unless these things are throwing off some kind of particle, they're rather obviously equivalent to Free Energy Generators...
They kind of are, but they're also catching them, and it's the catching which creates the thrust (thrust is in the direction of the anode, not the cathode).
And even so, throwing of electrons is (per my understanding) ~speed of light and all you need to prove over-unity is to imagine a thruster on the end of a meter long pole generating it's few micron-newtons-meters of torque while rotating some thousands of RPMs. Far below anything that would even knock on the door of speed-of-light...
Yeah, which is why physicists don't really like reactionless thrusters. They Create Problems.
QI has an explanation for why this works involving Unruh radiation waves. I don't understand all of the theory, but McCulloch's simplifies thrust in a leaking capacitor down to: Thrust = Current * Area / GapDistance ** 2. But this formula creates yet another vector for Free Energy because it outputs Thrust without Power as an input.
So the whole area of reactionless thrusters is an Achilles Heel for classical physics...
Somebody => A lot of people. Including NASA when testing the EM Drive.
In any case, these results seem relatively easy to reproduce - and the narrowest capacitor gap that was tested was 13um, which is small from a mechanical perspective, but from a chemistry & material deposition perspective it's rather huge...
Yeah, looks like that's the one. But moreover, you've got two fairly serious looking companies making these things, and one of them claims to have made enough thrust that the thruster will lift itself and they have a patent on the same.
So it's not the kind of thing that you can just handwave away...
I can understand why this would be - because as you leave earth, the air slowly becomes thinner and thinner until eventually there's none of it left - and it's hard to decide where you draw the line. No matter how far up you go, there's still the stray molecule of air you will encounter from time to time...
How is it that SOME Folks actually believe our earth is a Globe that spins 1000+ per hour at the Equator, yet they see no curve on the horizon, They only see flat water on the sea shore and they never feel the earth moving in any direction.
They believe because they have been told what to believe and they are not AWAKE enough to simply look for themself to find Salvation from the lies of the Government/Controllers of your Programmed Mind!

#opinions only #oligarchy #censors #gave us socialized medicine Supreme Court rules 6-3 to not hear evidence in case involving critical First Amendment rights of all Americans Make no mistake, this was a cowardly cop out by the highest court in the nation, showing it is intimidated by the American deep state.The U.S. Supreme Court (gov oligarchy) ruled 6-3 Wednesday in Murthy v.

The High Court determined neither the Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general nor the five private individuals who brought the lawsuit had standing to seek an injunction against any of the government defendants. The message the High Court delivered today. The way I see it, we the people don’t count for anything, and this was one branch of government (judicial) agreeing with another branch of the government (executive) saying it’s OK for the government to collude with Big Tech elites in a way that shuts down free speech in America. Another nail in the coffin.

only $625K for 3000 square feet in So Cal? From what I’ve seen on home improvement/flipping shows, that’s a pretty good deal. Especially considering all the upgrades she says they’ve made are not included in the purchase price (assuming).
does she need a pool, 5 automobiles, remodeled 4000 sq ft home, etc? Most of those expenses aren’t way out of line just the consumptive lifestyle is over the top.

@MMRnmd I was terrified reading this last year, but the picture comes more clear as the time goes. "For the editor-in-chief of the junge Welt, Stefan Huth, the situation is clear: the German state has criminalised, as extremist, any reference to communism. 'junge Welt, which is independent of political parties, companies, churches, etc., is not considered a newspaper [by the German authorities]. Rather, the newspaper, the publishing house (8 Mai GmbH) as publisher, and of course the workers' cooperative, which is its main shareholder, are treated as 'extremist groups' pursuing subversive aims. This absurd fabrication of the German secret services is justified [for them] by the Marxist orientation of the newspaper. They complain that our newspaper refers to Marx, Engels, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, as well as writing favourably about socialist Cuba. We are also accused of describing as "liberation movements" organizations in Latin America or the Middle East that are considered "terrorist" by the government. Even references to what many academic experts acknowledge, namely that society is divided into classes, violates the constitution, according to the German government and its secret services." thepressproject.gr/germania-ot…

Hard to believe that a government that has a blind solidarity with the 1st terrorist state on earth , Israel, can so easily bear jugement on the editorial choice of a newspaper and declare Marxism and Communism illegal.
You can turn it upside-down and inside-out, society IS divided into classes. Rejecting this fact just makes you travel 2 centuries ago...por lo meno.
I remember that the first concentration camps were built in 1933, after Communist party of Deutschland was prohibited, like unions. The first people put into these camps weren't Jews or Slaves, they were Marxists, union leaders and Communists.

One of the many wonders of #WHY2025 was the lovely people of Crumpet Camp. Over the course of the event they cooked and served over 250 crumpets to any hungry hacker that came by.
People from all over came by for a tasty British snack. And as I sat there munching on crumpets I listened to the reactions of those trying them for the first time.
After a few dozen. I cracked.
"That's surprisingly good" says someone with an accent indicative of foreign lands.
If course it's fucking good. The lovely people of camp crumpet have gone to a lot of effort to bring these to camp, cook them, and give them away to anyone who comes by. What else did you expect? They're not going to do that for something that isn't good.
Eventually I challenged some of those saying this. Why were they surprised?
"Cos it's British food"
"So?"
"Your food sucks"
"Such as?"
"Um... Uh... Ah... Oh"
This exchange happened a few times. With different people. 2/n
One person commented on how it sucked like Dutch food sucked. Which I could not resist biting at.
"Dutch food can actually be really good" I respond.
"Really?" Says a Dutch resident of British origin who was in ear shot.
"Yes really"
"Such as ?"
"A delicious Hachee, stamppot boerenkoel, or a draadjesvlees, cooked for 3 hours in a little butter until it falls apart when you touch it with a fork. Delicious and tender. Served with a simple mashed potatos. It's wonderful"
"yes really. But" and here it's a big but. "You won't make a good Dutch meal if you're buying the ingredients from supermarkets, the quality is so poor due to a race to the bottom. The potatoes are the size of golf balls, the onions are flavourless, & tiny, cooking with such ingredients is laborious and the result flavourless"
"Oh"
"If you put the effort in to get good ingredients, then you can make a delicious traditional Dutch meal that can stand up there with dishes from other nations" 4/n
"but isn't it all bland and boring, like British food?"
"First of all, troll, second of all british food cooked properly isn't bland and boring either. A rich cottage pie with a crispy top straight out the oven on an autumn evening is just heavenly"
"But you don't use any spices?"
Ok I'm definitely being trolled at this point.
"There's a lot of mocking about Brits and the Dutch doing all their empire shit to bring back spices, but then not actually put it in the food. But it's not true" 5/n
"But it also indicates a failure to understand how to cook and how flavour works. If you look at famous french dishes, that noone would ever accuse of being bland, I use more spices when cooking Dutch food than I do French. It might not be massive amounts of chillis giving lots of heat. But delicious doesn't have to mean spicy hot. A well balanced flavour profile can be achieved without needing to be overwhelmingly spicy." I took a sip of my tea.
"...the only spice in there is pepper, yet it's an incredibly tasty well rounded dish. Made from good quality ingredients, it's heavenly. The same is true for a Dutch dish like Hachee, which does actually have some spices, not many, a few cloves, and juniper berries. But again it's a delicious meal from simple good quality ingredients. And that's a key part of understanding traditional food from the likes of .nl or .UK. it's about taking simple ingredients and making a good meal" 7/n
"in fact there's a certain fractal nature to some of the dishes across the cuisines of north western Europe, as the climate means we grow the same ingredients. Take for example colcannon in Ireland, Stamppot boerenkoel, or the German Grünkohl. It's kale, potatos, onions, and maybe a couple of other ingredients, like in the Dutch one, bacon. But it's a great dish on an autumn night. I like to pair it with Hachee, but traditionally it's served with a smoked sausage"
Japan. Notoriously great food. Nearly zero spices, and most of those are imports. Not a lot of variety (broadly speaking; it's an island) of plants but wow, great food there!
Also shit food there. Shit food in england. Shit food in the US. If you do a shit job! And lots of people don't even try.
Mexican and native American derived food. The opposite (sic) of Japanese food; often cheap ingredients, lots of spices! Lots of "poor people's food". But so much of it is great! And there's great subtlety amongst even the peppers and spices.
We all eat what grows around us (or did...). Lots of us are shitty cooks (we've improved a lot; pandemic was a big jump up).
But talking about food is a bit like talking about sex; many people are really weird about it. And bigoted. And stuck in bad habits.
"we have become detached from our food, both in terms of where the ingredients come from, but in a lack of appreciation for it because we have had it served badly once, and then not been willing to try it again. Or in some cases because of straight up ignorance. Who would go out for Dutch cuisine when there's a french restaurant, and an Indian restaurant on either side ?"
More tea.
"Anyway, stop equating spicy with good. It's not the same. Delicious food can be made without spices" 9/n
"and while I'm on the rant. Anyone who says they use a whole bulb of garlic when the recipe says only a clove of garlic, has no understanding of how a balanced recipe with good ingredients should be. Unless you are making something where garlic is the main flavour (i.e. garlic bread). Garlic is like a bay leaf, you should notice that it's missing, not be able to single out that it's been added"
Aaaand breathe.
"Feeling better?"
"Yeah. Wanna come over for a Dutch meal sometime?"
Like Italian food too, hardly any spice, but incredible because you can't walk 10 meters without bumping into amazing produce in Italy.
You're also absolutely right about where the Dutch and English cuisines meet hand in hand is the supermarkets constantly cheapening the ingredients used in day to day cooking.
(I constantly talk shit on French food for being bland and it’s a common jest that French food overly depends on grease to make up for its blandness where I grew up)
One big thing people don't understand about balancing flavors is acidity and how it affects the overall profile. Sometimes just adding a teaspoon of vinegar is enough to make all the difference in a dish - you dont actually taste the vinegar but it opens a bright and lively taste path that you are definitely aware of.
The current (possibly just American) trend of putting jalapenos in everything is getting old af.
Yup, supermarkets are to blame. I was born in Cheshire long ago. Cheese from the grocer's was Cheshire cheese by default. It came from local farms via a local wholesale market. It arrived as a 'wheel' and was sold in wedges with a rind on. It was crumbly and tasty. Proper Cheshire cheese is now made on a single farm and sold at a premium price in speciality shops to wealthy 'foodies'. Supermarkets sell tasteless, damp, plastic-wrapped slabs of 'Cheshire Cheese' for the rest of us.
I'm generally unable to understand people who complain about Dutch food being bad when their frikandel, kroket, etc are some of our favorite snacks to eat at any train station, period
British food isn't bland. We had war rationing, and a whole generation became accustomed to simple food because that's all that was available. Returning American troops spread the myth that our food is bland, not understanding that we were on a war footing. The myth persists to this day.
Starting in the 1970s, foreign travel became more affordable, and our tastes were once again diversified. Today there's more spicy food sold in the UK than anywhere else in Europe! We love spice!
I'm English (not British) and I think that the only nice food in England has come from another culture. The only 'English' food I can think of is stodgy and tasteless, such as fish and chips, full English (cooked breakfast) or what we call 'Sunday dinner', which is roast meat, boiled root vegetables, Yorkshire pudding (baked pancake) and gravy. Nothing to compare to the tasty food from other cultures. That's why our most popular dish is chicken korma lol.
