If our universe were to travel at the speed of light from point A to B, or expand at the speed of light, would entropy slow down?
and
2nd question - if you have trapped an ion, using an electric field, within a chamber which it doesn't touch, would scales placed below the chamber measure the weight of the chamber only or chamber + ion?
what the hell is going on here, this person actually finished her phd

it's this.

I must say that I really regret having circulated the MH speaking fee gossip. I don't like him much, yeah, but I didn't want to drag Rachel Rosenfelt's name through the mud and I don't want people drawing grand conclusions about anarchism either. I'm not an anarchist, but it's an honorable position and there are many fine anarchists doing good political work. Sorry. A bad mistake.

Make up prestigious jobs and references and have the numbers go to your friends. And if the person doesn't give you the job, ask for your information back because you don't trust them with the personal details of prestigious people. It really works
this only works with fake prestige btw, dont be stupid enough to put anyone actually prestigious down unless youre applying to some bushleague firm thats insecure about its lack of insider cred
Mobzy posted:work has left me emotionally drained, dont do it.
i abandoned personal relationships in place of a steady career. Where once I was unemployed and directionless in capitalism but growing with another person, now I stand solitary. I have cut down the forest to pave a parking lot. I am self sufficient, but gay~
