@Ying agree?

I did say I was way off...

None of you should be speaking for the dead. It's quite unbecoming.

@Raymond @Bitter Crank you're both way off, and so am I.

Did you start a podcast @Banno?

'ragged-trousered' is a compound adjective so it needs a hyphen between the two words.

What's your avatar about? A tear in a building? — Raymond

Smullyan would be a fan of it

are you Raymond Smullyan?

I think it's only 4 days until JWST gets to L2

I hope you're right, but I don't think you're taking into account the growing isolationism/moron-ization of the UK populace.

So, it's looking awfully like Waterloo for Boris, ain't it? From here in the Antipodes, he really does seem an empty suit, and one who's time is just about up. — Wayfarer

Like putin, he's the human equivalent of that strain of dog shit that just can't be scrubbed off one's shoe. I can see him sticking around for a while yet.

@Zolenskify OK I will get a booster

@180 Proof agree?

I'm not sure if I even need to get a booster. I had both doses of AstraZeneca last year, and omicron doesn't seem to be severe...

Who here has had a 'booster' dose of the vaccine? How was it?

without charge?

I've seen a ghost before. It was the spirit of a man in a rock on a coastal road in the Philippines. I think he was watching me drive by.

@Raymond agree?

We define an unknown (death) in terms of a known (dreamless sleep). — Agent Smith

I blame Shakespeare. (Although he was only making a metaphor)

if you're looking for the Light web, look no further than TPF!

Are other galaxies more violent than ours?

from space exploration to The Philosophy Forum, perservance is the name of the game.

I heard @Baden does this, when moderating.

and Ass-ange

NOVAK Djokovic has the perfect name for someone who doesn't want vaccines

Good news

equating sleep and death is clichéd.

Sleeping is part of life; it's something that can't physically be done when dead.

does the JWT have (intelligent) life-detecting capabilities?

Good news

Does God care whether the JW works or not? — Bitter Crank

God knows.

By means of galactic candles — AgentTangarine

What are those?

This 'un?

thank you. I don't understand what the astrophysicist from 4:15 is saying about what can be learned about dark matter/energy.

So, JWT (or JWST) can tell us about the early evolution of galaxies, but she didn't explain what we would specifically find out about dark matter/energy.

Will the pictures JWT beams down be of the past (in terms of the universe)?

'No way you live... No way.'

@Agent Smith agree?

yes, they make graceful sock puppets... :chin: :cheer:

are you a @Benkei sock puppet?

Has anyone seen 'The Endless' 2017 film?
