Oh, I get it now--it's a more general thing.

FYI: Dry ice sublimates at 194.65 K.

Interesting what is absolute zero. I guess I'm literally talking about quantum computers now. Cause isn't there a thing where at absolute zero photons ping both positively and negatively charged or something. I'm literally wondering aloud if I'm giving away state secrets

Absolute zero is 0 Kelvin, 0 degrees Rankine, -273.15 degrees Celsius, and -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit. Dry ice ain’t poo poo.

We are actually taught this in residency. His pancreatic cancer was entirely curable with the current surgical and medical modalities at the time. Unfortunately he chose to treat it with like a carrot diet and acupuncture. By the time he finally went to an oncologist it had metastasized to his liver and it was game over. Legit, 100% he could still be alive today.

I would also highly recommend The Americans. It's about the KGB and why blue jeans and Ronald Regan being absolutely willing to end life on earth 'won' the Cold War.

In the Thanksgiving video one of the guys (he's actually in all 3) talks about how in his hometown he was very happy because he felt fulfilled just doing his duty and was unaware of the lies and activities of his government. Conversely in South Korea he enjoys his freedoms but finds happiness itself to be far more difficult to attain.

http://news.mit.edu/2007/super-cool

quote:

To reach such extreme temperatures, the researchers are combining two previously demonstrated techniques-optical trapping and optical damping. Two laser beams strike the suspended mirror, one to trap the mirror in place, as a spring would (by restoring the object to its equilibrium position when it moves), and one to slow (or damp) the object and take away its thermal energy.
Combined, the two lasers generate a powerful force--stronger than a diamond rod of the same shape and size as the laser beams--that reduces the motion of the object to near nothing.
Using light to hold the mirror in place avoids the problems raised by confining it with another object, such as a spring, Mavalvala said. Mechanical springs are made of atoms that have their own thermal energy and thus would interfere with cooling.

Yeah if you point a laser tuned to just below the frequency needed to eject a photon from an atom it's pointed at then the atom will only eject photons when moving in direction of the laser (because of the doppler effect). It dampens the random motion of the atoms in a substance which is the same thing as making it colder.

I had a bad run in with the mental health system, the dsm being a literal product of nazi science used by the fine people at the CIA to torture illiterate farmers, and now my brain is broken in upsetting ways.

Like, the sociopathic feelings of sitting down with a therapist and being like 'I probably know more than you'. And it's like, you know what? I tried to be a decent person and I'm bitter that no one knows or cares.

Von Braun was a nazi, yes, but his advances in rocket science outweighs any of his prior hateful ways.

I read a bit about Von Braun about a decade ago, iirc he was a nazi because that was the only way he could get funding. His involvement did get plenty of people killed, but without it, we wouldn't know what we do about space travel and all that jazz. He's not an easily forgivable figure in history, but he was a necessity for the time.

And at least he didn't nuke anyone.

Hi, I'm legendary permabanned poster ______. I first started reading GiP when it was just a grover thread. by 2011 i got really obsessed with the concept of "civil war" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "motorola spies for the CIA" and "absolute zero photons ping pong" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "chud" style of GiP humor was all about; i think its the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “get” GiP to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
