The Russians are starting to blow up facilities in Britain implicated in supporting the Ukrainian war effort

Since we have no idea what the code actually look like, and since it is "fusion of theoretical insights from relativity with practical engineering expertise", we actually have no idea whatsoever what's happening.

jerryk · 2024-05-08T14:59:10+00:00

A hell of lot better proof than we have that if we accelerate a spaceship to the speed of light its mass becomes infinite. We have to do some incredibly broad generalizations to get to that, from the evidence we've got at this time. Particle accelerator experiments are NOT real life!

jerryk · 2024-05-08T14:56:28+00:00

Hey, buddy, I'm enjoying your observations. Don't take me too seriously, I don't take life too seriously!

jerryk · 2024-05-08T14:55:19+00:00

Well, that depends on what you mean by space and time, exactly, and, that depends on the structure of the mathematical abstraction you choose to employ to define them.

jerryk · 2024-05-08T14:53:34+00:00

Sure, you're right, of course. That's why I really don't mind Russia being The Borg! It keeps the West in line, a bit, anyway.

jerryk · 2024-05-07T22:52:57+00:00

OK. I'm not disputing that. All I'm saying, is that GPS really does not prove that space and time are related, or that light speed is an absolute limit.

jerryk · 2024-05-07T19:19:31+00:00

OK. Einstein is your God. Enough said!

jerryk · 2024-05-07T19:08:36+00:00

The GPS correction codes are classified. You have no idea whatsoever what's actually in them.

jerryk · 2024-05-07T19:07:54+00:00

The correction coding is classified. You have no idea whatsoever what's actually in it.

jerryk · 2024-05-06T18:46:12+00:00

No, it doesn't. Not unless you're totally brainwashed.

jerryk · 2024-05-05T21:09:17+00:00

Hey, buddy, I'm not anti-Russian, or anti-Chinese. I just think people have different ways of doing things. And, it takes all kinds to make a world.

jerryk · 2024-05-05T20:47:32+00:00

So, you don't think Russia and China traditionally subjugate the individual to the whole more than the West does? That concept is certainly well accepted, in the West, anyway.

jerryk · 2024-05-03T19:00:56+00:00

All nations slaughter innocent people, especially women, children, and the elderly. All. Every single one on the planet, that's what nation states do, in order to survive on the planet.

jerryk · 2024-05-03T18:59:41+00:00

Israel is in a difficult position, facing off against the entire Muslim world. If a Christian nation were located there, they'd have exactly the same problems, and have to act exactly the same way, in order to survive.

jerryk · 2024-05-02T21:34:52+00:00

So, they just want attention, period?

jerryk · 2024-05-03T01:01:56+00:00

I guess this is too liberal a site for this particular post. It's more popular on the politics site. More conservative, there. My own politics are non-existent, I just try to tell the truth.

jerryk · 2024-05-02T21:05:57+00:00

Why focus on Israel? They were only responding to a mass slaughter of their own citizens, and are just trying to stabilize the situation, so it won't happen again. The Muslims are always trying to destroy the state of Israel, because they won't tolerate a non-Muslim nation in their midst.

jerryk · 2024-05-02T20:53:35+00:00

Why do they care? What's it got to do with them? Are they all Muslims?

jerryk · 2024-04-29T16:07:56+00:00

They've already been doing that. They're running out.

jerryk · 2024-04-26T15:40:34+00:00

Putin isn't Hitler. Putin is a wise old man, simply trying to secure traditional Russian territory for his people. He certainly will stop with Ukraine, he will be too old to remain in office after his current term expires. The Russians may pursue some additional territory in the Baltics conceivably, or Moldova, but, these are tiny countries of little concern to other nations.

jerryk · 2024-04-22T15:49:42+00:00

Yeah, I guess so!

jerryk · 2024-04-22T19:53:34+00:00

However, it is an aspect of defense, if anything, and, thus, implicitly, a part of the U.S. defense budget.

jerryk · 2024-04-18T23:12:08+00:00

So, does this mean that pedophilia is now legal in California, as long as the sex is paid for, and it isn't actually a forcible rape? If so, that means what is a capital offense in Florida, is now perfectly legal in California. Can we really run a united country this way?

jerryk · 2024-04-19T01:29:38+00:00

Actually, this doesn't really seem like that big a deal to me. Much ado about nothing.

jerryk · 2024-04-19T00:47:17+00:00

I just did. Basically, they're just saying if you're sixteen, you're old enough to work legally as a prostitute, in California.

jerryk · 2024-04-19T00:33:50+00:00

OK. So, the "child" still has to be at least 16 years old. So, all they're really saying is if you're sixteen, you're old enough to be a prostitute.

jerryk · 2024-04-17T23:38:00+00:00

Mediaeval kings had very little power over their subjects, military technology didn't allow them to project their power, that's why feudalism became popular -- everyone was dependent and worked for their local lord, not the King. Effectively, Universities acted like local Monasteries, largely independent of any central authority.

jerryk · 2024-04-17T23:34:04+00:00

Government controls the purse strings though, and, that completely undermines any university independent research. In the middle ages, government was too decentralized for any control of funding to universities.

jerryk · 2024-04-17T21:15:28+00:00

OK. But, that means any oppressive government law constrains people at universities as much as anyone else, thus potentially restricting freedom of speech and experiment at universities.

jerryk · 2024-04-12T21:32:56+00:00

What you feel really doesn't matter much, buddy. They aren't convicting any teachers of relationships with students in Russia, that I've heard of. Let me know if you find otherwise.

jerryk · 2024-04-12T21:31:53+00:00

If you read the article, the guy they're inducting into the military, and is expecting to get Russian citizenship, is on the run for a kiddie porn conviction in the U.S. The Russians obviously don't care. Actually, most countries have much lighter sentences, if any, for kiddie porn. In Canada, sentences are rarely more than a few months.

jerryk · 2024-04-10T19:42:11+00:00

Not according to the Bible. According to the Bible, Man is made in God's image, Woman is made from Man's rib.

In any case, God sucks dead Buffalo dicks, all the time. I'm sure you agree, don't you?

jerryk · 2024-04-10T19:40:42+00:00

In Russia, a child is six, not sixteen. And, apparently, they don't really care about kiddie porn, at all.

jerryk · 2024-04-08T19:25:35+00:00

Sure. That works too, of course.

jerryk · 2024-04-08T20:22:47+00:00

Maybe. But, I suppose we could all apply for token black or Muslim status, in this particular case.

jerryk · 2024-04-08T23:55:28+00:00

Well, it would depend on how badly the U.S. wanted them. Israel is enough under the U.S. thumb that they would probably hand over anyone the U.S. really wanted, if the U.S. insisted on the point. The Russians, on the other hand, couldn't possibly care less what the U.S. wants!

jerryk · 2024-04-08T23:32:56+00:00

True. However, the Americans would certainly be able to extradite from Israel. Not so, with Russia!

jerryk · 2024-04-08T19:38:56+00:00

No. But, given how ridiculous the sex crime laws here are, who knows what could happen? And, if that happened to me, I would probably move to Russia. It's nice to have options, you know. I would certainly recommend to people on the sex crime registries to move to Russia, wouldn't you?

jerryk · 2024-04-02T17:49:44+00:00

Well, yeah, you could it that way, as well!

jerryk · 2024-04-01T17:52:23+00:00

You understand my point, then. I'm an American, but, obviously, America is in no position to accuse the Russians of being incompetent or undemocratic these days, are they?

jerryk · 2024-04-01T19:13:57+00:00

Correct.

jerryk · 2024-04-02T01:32:47+00:00

This is precisely how they built the entire Russian Empire, in the past. This is precisely how Russia became a large, and powerful nation. Those weren't lightning campaigns, they were long, bloody contests, over years, or decades. As far as that goes, how do you think the U.S. defeated the native Indian population? Long, bloody campaigns, over years, or decades. That's "how the West was won", my friend!

jerryk · 2024-04-01T17:41:13+00:00

There are similarities. But, fact is, Iraq is rather more under U.S. control now, than it was before, isn't it?

jerryk · 2024-03-23T20:12:32+00:00

Might work better than Starship. Can't work any worse.

jerryk · 2024-03-23T15:17:20+00:00

Careful. It sounds like you're advocating "electoral genocide" for the Liberal Party of Canada. They might come and get you for that!

jerryk · 2024-03-23T15:16:25+00:00

Actually, I might!

jerryk · 2024-03-23T15:15:21+00:00

Indeed. I grew up there. They're OK for kids, but, they treat adults like kids too. Retarded kids!

jerryk · 2024-03-15T22:36:19+00:00

True. But, even poor, uneducated Canadians, who have the courage to buck the utterly corrupt and inept Canadian government, would make very good Americans!

jerryk · 2024-03-15T21:56:43+00:00

You may well be right. We should welcome them, they'll be good Americans.

jerryk · 2024-03-15T22:04:32+00:00

Cool. I guess every cloud has a silver lining, then.

jerryk · 2024-03-15T21:57:09+00:00

You may well be right. We should welcome them, they'll be good Americans.

jerryk · 2024-03-15T20:59:35+00:00

Well, you know, from the Canadian government's point of view, the Jews are advocating the genocide of the Palestinians, so, that would be a quite reasonable possibility, don't you think?

jerryk · 2024-03-12T19:56:29+00:00

I think it's meaningless to argue with you because you seem to be firmly in the pro-CIA propaganda bubble. For your information, Russia limits its attacks to military assets and important infrastructure in Ukraine, and in Odessa. These Russians online are telling the simple truth -- Russia wants to win this war, and is doing so.

jerryk · 2024-03-12T18:19:07+00:00

The place to draw the line is Poland, not Ukraine. Ukraine is traditional Russian territory for centuries, Poland is not. We should put ten divisions of U.S. troops in Poland, that will be quite sufficient to keep Russia under control, along with our nuclear deterrent. NATO's current activities in Ukraine are just making Russia stronger, and getting Russia angry. They are not defending NATO, they are making NATO weaker.
