Dear KMAG: 20250820 ✾ Wolfian Wednesday Persnickety Placeholder and Open Topic

Gail Combs is off tonight due to the tragic death of her neighbor, as well as the insurance company coming after her home, and other assorted trials and evils. Please join me in praying for Gail, her husband, and their neighbors. May they be strengthened in their hour of need by the Almighty.

We must endeavor to persevere with this placeholder.

This is a placeholder.

Most of this post is boilerplate, but with sprinkles of minor mirth.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Wolfian Wednesday Persnickety Placeholder and Open Topic, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Wolfie’s WOO-WOO Wednesday, due to the author’s expected rambling about his most WOO-WOO opinions. Please bear with us!

We are living in an episode of The Outer Limits.

Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s WEDNESDAY…again.

So are we halfway through the week? Is this really HUMP DAY?

Let’s try that again.

OK – maybe Wheatie’s rules need to be posted on Wednesday, too.

No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a pure placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each ~~Thursday~~ Wednesday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

How did Q put it? Ah, yes.

“Enjoy the show!”

OK – y’all got a real placeholder on the Monday upon which this post was saved. We’re gonna try to give you some actual fresh content today.

(1) Beware Charybdis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charybdis

Pot may not kill you, but it has friends like jet engines who are willing to do the job. Stay safe out there, mellow tokers!

(2) The Far Out Dude Prophesies

How did the 1970s get the future so right by warning us about what we shouldn’t do wrong, and then somehow failing to stop it?

(3) Pick a Number – Any Number!

Not so easy, when you think too much about it! Welcome to the “axiom of choice” – which fixes everything and breaks it, too.

(4) Dark Energy Is A Placeholder!

No, I did NOT say that Placing Holder Under Arrest is a Dark MAGA Energy. Nor did this lady. But she did say that “Dark energy is a placeholder for a lack of knowledge of what leads to the expansion of the universe.”

Actually, she said a whole lot more. If you want a good general explanation of the state of modern physics in words and no numbers, this gal can provide, during the first half hour.

After that, you enter the arena of physicists fighting each other. Grab some popcorn!

(PS – as you can see by the image on the video, these new AI anti-wrinkle creams and age-reversing formulas for men and women really work!)

(5) Does This Research Smell Sweet or Stink?

“Scent of a woman’s tears brings calm to men”

Remember – the Weizmann Institute had some researchers who straight-up lied about some covidian stuff, IIRC. This would mean that there are simple volatile chemicals that pacify human aggression. Are they putting those in everyday products? And if not, why not?

This was brought here a long time ago by somebody – and sat in my tabs forever.

LINK 2: https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002442

So – we got some massive tab-clearing done. But there is still more to do! See you next time!

Dear MAGA: 20250612 ✾ Thank God ± Theistic Evolution ∈ Thursday Open Topic

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!

Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.

Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!

The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.

And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.

And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.

OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.

No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.

If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Time for more dumping of tabs!

(1) The Hafnium Bomb and/or the Nuclear Battery

A nice explanation of nuclear isomerism and why some people like DERPA are interested in it.

(2) Chess Game Reported Like College Football

You may have never seen anything like this. That’s OK – stick with it – it’s fun! The “sports reporter” is a hoot! I had no idea these people existed.

(3) Gravity, Inertia, and the Gravitational Constant

TL;DR – The gravitational constant pops out of the theory and I love it, but I still have to be skeptical that it might be an artifact.

Did we actually miss the solution to “what is gravity?” and “what is inertia?” when they were solved in the 1950s? Just listen to the guy – the equations are too small to read, but the explanations start to gel. At the very least, the opening / final cartoon is readily understood when you get to the end!

(4) Enjoy Some Relaxing Math & Fiddle Music

This is supposedly an exam question for Haaaaaahvaaaaaahd. Or you can just listen to the calming folk violin.

(5) Two Solutions to the Three-Body Problem

First, the no-solution solution, presented by that annoyingly perky British chick who is not Veritasium or the German one.

Now, Valerie Curren’s solution using string theory.

Well, that’s enough for today! Enjoy the show!

Dear KMAG: 20241021 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.

This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!

We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

undight

verb

to take off
to doff
to undo
to put off
to lay aside
to unfasten

Used in a poem

5 From her fair head her fillet she undight,

fillet > {Headband; ribbon used for keeping the head-dress in place: cf. 101.4:4} undight > unfastened

6 And laid her stole aside. Her angel’s face,

stole > robe

–The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser (1596)

MUSIC!

On topic – a nicer way to remember this man!

Fine stuff! And speaking of which…..

THE STUFF

We’ve talked about theories of flat earth, and of gravity not existing. What about the other direction – not only gravity existing, but anti-gravity, too?

SO – the failure of “beautiful theories” led her to begin questioning them – and to wondering how beauty and math might be misleading the direction of physics.

Well – let’s couple that with journalism – how the cross-interests of journalism – the WOW – the NOW – the NO – the WHOA – and the WOO – how that might ALSO be misleading science.

Just sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

vendicate

verb

to claim for oneself [obsolete, rarely used in centuries]

Used in a sentence

It is not permitted to a woman, to speake in the congregation, nether to teache, nether to baptise, nether to vendicate to her selfe any office of man.

From: The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women. 1514-1572 1878

Used in another sentence

For divers men having attained to a great perfection in learning, & yet remaining overbare (alas) of the spirit of regeneration and frutes thereof: finding all naturall thinges common, aswell to the stupide pedants as vnto them, they assaie to vendicate vnto them a greater name, by not onlie knowing the course of things heavenlie, but likewise to cling to the knowledge of things to come thereby.

From: Daemonologie. King of England James I 1595
