    Daniel Pfeffer wrote: Yet both statements "The Sun will rise tomorrow" and "Unicorns do not exist" may be, in principle, falsified by contrary experience Perhaps you did not understand what I posted. Your statement, in regards to me, is false. Because both are beliefs. Daniel Pfeffer wrote: I would say that the definition of a religious statement is one that cannot be falsified, even in principle. Sometimes people attempt a 'scientific' or 'logical' proof to falsify god. Naturally those are always wrong. They can be dismissed immediately. (One might claim they are logically sound although I have not seen that but given that they are not just testing logic but attempting to actually prove god does not exist they are wrong.) There are many claimed proofs both scientific and logical which attempt to prove god. The scientific ones are nonsense. Often obviously scientifically flawed. Even ludicrously so. Certainly some of the logical ones are sound - not in proving god but rather in that they follow the rules of logic. Scientifically there are supernatural claims, some religious in nature, which have been falsified. Often, like the above they are obviously scientifically flawed even with a brief examination. But others can be tested. One of the skeptic magazines has been running/promoting a contest with a very large cash prize for a very long time. Many have applied. Few have actually proceeded to the test. Not surprisingly none have passed the test set up for their specific claim. One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge - Wikipedia[^] One of the more recent amusing articles in the skeptics magazine (I can't recall which one) actually enumerated things like how many had asked, then proceeded to request a test, then accepted the test and failed. Then broke it down by the types of claims. Either that article or another described how the testing was done for specific cases.

If, by any chance, it's a Raspberry PI, check dmesg to make sure that you have neither low voltage nor high temperature conditions. Also check your SDR USB dongle for overheating.

    This Christmas, Give Me The Gift Of Your Knowledge Here is the latest on my mystery research From The WonderMill company, I got this one line... This sounds like it would work From The Vevor Company... I called and had a spoken voice conversation with a human. She passed along the details to their experts and I got this response that I totally cannot understand... The grinding efficiency of this product you are interested in: 500 grams of dry material is ground for one minute, the screening rate of 50 mesh through the screen is > 90%, and the fineness of ordinary flour is 80 mesh. So I still don't know if the powder will be fine enough for regular cooking. Give me knowledge: Will the powder be fine enough ?

    I have both, but I prefer Knuth for its comprehensiveness. Also, my lecturer in Data Structures and Algorithms (many moons ago) used Knuth's style when describing algorithms, so I'm used to it.

    Steve Raw wrote: Thanks for the compliment, Jeremy. To quote Forrest Gump, "Stupid is, as stupid does". If we measure by that metric, I am most definitely stupid. Like I always say, you can understand humans, but you're still human. It doesn't make you above the same issues. It just means you get to argue with people about the why. :laugh: I suppose the next "level" would be wisdom to use that information better... in theory. Steve Raw wrote: IMO, I think perhaps I've been fortunate to have been dealt a relatively good hand of cards. In other areas, the cards I have been dealt are less than ideal. It's like that with everyone. I can say the same. God has a funny way of balancing things out. Side note, there are different types of intelligence. Some times philosophers do nothing but think, when it's time for action... for instance. Steve Raw wrote: People have the inclination to discount your humanity if you suffer from mental illness. IMO "mental illness" is a term used by people that understand very little of the mind. At the very least, it shouldn't be a demonized term where we assume there's a problem with the person that cannot be cured. The difference between that and going to a doctor though, the person has to _want_ it first. It's an inside job. Everything is "fixable"... if the person wants it. Nobody can do it for them. Not to mention, it's subjective. So, we treat it like it's demonized. Sometimes you gotta do things for yourself. Steve Raw wrote: God gave us Nintendo because he loves us and wants us to be happy. A Nintendo NES is still something that can hold my attention just the same as it used to. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I have a Nintendo too. What I mean is that is shouldn't be an excuse to avoid learning or reality though. It's an escape, but don't escape so much you're blind to the world is all. JeremyΒ Falcon
