Gravity is the strongest of the four known forces; electromagnetic, weak and strong nuclear forces which operate at the subatomic level but hold atoms and therefore our world together, and then gravity. In the past, we've been able to observe and measure the effects of gravity but could not detect it directly. Modern astronomy has now actually detected gravitational waves for the first time. Understanding the basic properties of gravity is the next great step in our understanding of our universe.

Nope: Gravity is the weakest force and is less than one millionth of a millionth the strength of the strong nuclear force.

A question for the group.
As I look at on-line posts of images, I see some that obviously been created by adding features that weren’t in the original capture. But with the advent of AI it’s getting harder. With all the editing software out there, many adding features for enhancing an image, I’m curious as to your opinions as to when an image transitions from a photo into the realm of “digital art”. What will be the impact on competitions?


As a painter I feel I can include anything I want in my painting except when I am documenting a well known scene or doing a portrait. Even then, I do take liberties such as enlarging or diminishing a given detail or altering a perspective to enhance the effect. However, when presenting an image as a photograph, I feel somewhat constrained at doing so.

Something or a combination of items here, were used when I stayed home, sick, from school. I remember watching the "Morning Matinee" which had great old movies. Back then the movies weren't THAT old. My Mom would wait on me "hand and foot". God rest her soul.


Also Noxzema right out of the refrigerator to cool a hot sun burn!

I bought a set of new Michelins for our car at Costco. (Arizona) They fill them with nitrogen, rotate them for free and have a free nitrogen pump at service center. Anyone know why they would do this? I never asked why they use the nitrogen
Anyone know?


Catering to an implausible social construct that pure Nitrogen is required in tires driven in a conservative way. Race cars, maybe, but not necessary for a day to day driver. Nitrogen tends to not change the tire pressure as much (as the tire heats and cools during hard driving), as contrasted to air.

A couple more: “Some of us saw it coming. You can’t doodle around with a rubber on your head and expect not get a little sketchy.”

“He spent his last days just doodling.”

“He was always good at drawing up the right plans but, it was the scribbling, and drawing outside the lines, that finally got to him.”

Jerry, There is a reason why one does not want to mix the gases in their tires and it is due to Dalton’s law, which is the statement that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual component gases. The partial pressure is the pressure that each gas would exert if it alone occupied the volume of the mixture at the same temperature.

In simple terms, each gas produces a specific pressure based on its temperature. In a mixture of gases, it means that the resulting pressure will be the sum of each of those gas's pressures. Because the tire is a confined space, those pressures will be the aggregate of the pressure of each of the gases in the tire.

So? How does that relate to the fact I fill my tires with 32 psi of Air vers. 32 psi of pure Nitrogen?

Rongnongno, you hit a critical point when you began this conversation. More workers will get displaced as a result. Some will survive by being motivated enough to get retrain for other jobs, but a fair portion will not and will add to the growing numbers of people who join the ranks of the unemployable. I am sure this will rekindle the discussion for creating a minimum income for the nation. To some, especially the greedy wealthy (and I must state that not all wealthy people are greedy) and those already on the margin, this has and will seem like a crazy idea (what give money away?), when in reality it probably makes perfect sense if you think about the future of the nation. It will be for what people ‘need” to live, not for what they ‘want’, and there is a difference. Think of it this way, if you will, if people don’t have what they need, what is the incentive strive for a better life or to fight for the country, if and when it is necessary? It not only incentivizes people to defend the country, but a way of life we can all enjoy. As Marx warned what’s seems like long ago, when the growth of the people living in poverty (the proletariat) become so numerous and disenchanted with the way things are, they will revolt. I, for one, believe that in a nation as rich as this one, we should care for those left behind by the economic and social progress we strive for, if we don’t what will be the incentive to defend the nation?

The rant is over.

Alas. Therein lies the conundrum. To discern those who would s**m the system from those in honest, authentic, need.
It is becoming increasingly apparent the default setting for the human psyche, seems to be trending toward lackluster.

It worked for Abe's of Maine - for a while, anyway. I think the name of the company should be changed if there are new owners. It's not the same company, so why use the same name?


Jerry: Sometimes the name alone is worth the price paid for the whole company. Especially if it is a long-standing reputable local name everyone knows and trusts. Customers think it is LOCAL, not part of an out-of-state conglomerate. The name, Mom and Pop Hardware, appeals more to some people than the name, Mega Big Box Hardware Company, Inc.

I used carbide (Calcium Carbide). The stuff used in Miner's Lamps. Place a few pieces of carbide in the hole. Add a little water and cover. Look for the gas to appear from the other end of the hole; then light it. BOOM!
Calcium Carbide mixed with water makes Acetylene gas (Used in welding/brazing.).

Yes, things are getting strange.

Did you ever hear of the Roadkill Cafe? It's a chain of restaurants that feature "roadkill" on the menu, although it's not really roadkill. What I'm getting to are the waitresses. They are intentionally insulting, and like eating dead animals found on the road, that's part of the "charm" of the place. We went to one in NH years ago.

In my younger days I taught in a rural high school in Ovid Colorado. The state police provided all the fresh road kill deer we could consume at lunch. There WAS always a free lunch in this little school!
