  • They are goons, but programmed goons. If you play to the programming then you will get their desired response. By forcing them outside their programming, they have to improvise.

    The smarter ones realise shooting first is a bad idea, politically. The stupider ones just want out, and notice the smarter ones seem similarly inclined.

    Staying within the programming is a lose-lose situation for the protestors. You need to get outside the patterns to get new results.

    It’s also worth noting that this is a very American thing, not a universal one. Your police are very broken, and in desperate need of an overhaul.

    It was even worse than that.

    They were basically given the KSP1 codebase and told to rewrite it to be better. However, KSP1 was still being developed, and they didn’t want to demotivate the KSP1 team. Therefore they were banned from even telling them it existed, let alone ask for help or advice with the existing codebase.




  • I might be wrong, but this sounds a lot like someone trying to speak for the trans community, rather than letting them speak for themselves.

    If you have just given birth, you are biologically the mother. Your social gender identity is separate. Also, the number of people caught up in this situation is tiny. Most of them will also be accepting of the need for medical clarity, over preferred language, so long as they are addressed appropriately outside that.

    99% of the time, what is between your legs has no relevance to day to day interactions. Maternity care is an obvious exception, and should be treated as such.

    If someone from the trans/non-binary communities wants to educate me on this, it would be welcomed, but from what I’ve heard, this is not generally even on their radar, let alone a big issue.





  • Its part of iterative improvement. The resonance causes the beam to spread out, which both makes getting results harder and losing more particles in route. The resonance is caused by the magnets used being imperfect.

    The point of the article is they have created a model that predicts these resonances accurately. This will be of limited benefit to them, though it will help clean up some data. The big advantage for future constructions is by knowing how the field becomes imperfect, measures can be taken to correct for it. This will make future particle accelerators better. The same problem will occur in larger fusion reactors. By studying this now, they can be improved before they are even built.

    “In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is a huge difference!”


  • That’s ok, not everyone gets that hit. A significant number of people (I want to say around 20%) don’t have the nerve connecting their pheromone receptors to their brain. It sounds like you are in that group.

    The bond will still form, it will just be later, and based on interactions, rather than hormonal. It’ll be worth it eventually. Just focus on being a good dad, even if it’s just by rote. It’ll come.


  • Believe it or not, that’s not an uncommon feeling. Evolutionary wise, there’s no particular reason for the dad to bond with the baby. It’s completely dependent on mum. What we get is often a spillover for the drive to get mum to bond.

    I was lucky and had that bond kick in quite quickly, but it’s ok if it doesn’t. Likely it will kick in around 6 months, as the baby becomes more “interesting”. Until then, be a good husband.

    It’s also worth noting that you are entering peak “emergency mode”. Right now the baby is completely dependent on you. It hasn’t settled down into a routine, and you are running low on sleep. They combine to utterly screw with your head.

    The mentality that got me through that zone was this: mum looks after the baby, I look after mum. I made sure she had regular meals. That she had time for a shower. That she could have a coherent night sleep.

    Something that might help is to sniff your baby’s head. Babies put off powerful pheromones, designed to reinforce the bonds. Unfortunately, not everyone has active pheromone receptors. If you do though, that smell is like crack cocaine.

    In short, you’re doing well. Baby is safe and cared for, and you’re doing your share of that work. Anything else is a bonus.
