The Post Whatever Thread

Depends on your trajectory - pensioner, digital nomad, skilled worker, or financially independent (some places let you in if you've got large savings). And where you feel comfortable - language proficiencies, climate preferences, pace of life, etc. I've thought about it, but the spouse is deeply rooted and we're probably staying and fighting the good fight for something approximating democracy and sustainability. One of my kids is thinking about Ireland, but he has a skill set they're looking for there. Last I checked, the lowest hurdles are places like Spain or Mexico. But if you have a particular skill, there are some countries that may be experiencing a shortage in that area and they'll have special programs to entice skilled immigrants. Do you have a specific destination, or do you just want out of Trumpamerica?

Nowhere specific yet, and yeah. Sort of skilled worker/pensioner. Been thinking about it for a long time anyways. Have a couple of places in mind, but ideally somewhere stable I can settle and garden like I do now. Bonus points if it stays warm year round.

Subtract the post# where I mention Michael Collins from the one where I say it's been 25 posts. It's about 25 posts.

Y'know foghorn, I thought we were just having some banter. You put forth a riddle, I responded. You didn't like my answer. I defended my thinking. I even checked with you that we were just bantering. You could have ended it there.

Now you pretend I'm the only one being pedantic. When did anyone ever force you to keep responding?

That's really shitty - not to mention super hypocritical.

You've always been an OK guy by me. Always respected you. I don't think I've ever given or gotten a negative vibe with you.

But now? Get stuffed.

6.62? But today’s date is 14/4/2026. Or is this based on Imperial units or something?

Google "World Quantum Day is celebrated on April 14, a reference to 4.14, the rounded first digits of Planck's constant: 4.1356677×10−15 eV⋅s = 0.000 000 000 000 004 1356677 electron volt second, a product of energy and time that is the fundamental constant governing quantum physics."

Ooooooh, it’s using eV units. I see. As a chemist I always used Joule-sec. For a moment there I wondered if it was some archaic set of American units,foot-poundals or something. -_O

I have never seen the utility of eV, to be honest. But I’m not a physicist.

It's convenient for a number of reasons. One is that the energies of photons in the visible range are of the order of a few eV. Similarly, the energies of atomic transitions are similar (which is why a lot of atoms emit visible light when excited).

Ahh yes, I remember the first time I smoked high-grade pot. Getting home from the party, tried to write something down. Next morning waking up and realizing whatever had seemed profound was utter drivel.
