I'm very happy and cheerful as my humour in here shows and equally happy with most things in my life.
But of course I'm not married so that's not surprising.

Another Labour politician slaughtered by the Tory press, ceaselessly attacking him without justification for everything they could dream up.Just watching Michael Foot on a 1980s documentary. That didn’t work out well did it?

Sounds like Johnson in here, or in Guardian, or on BBC. We never learn do we.
that's true though.
'dark' is used to suggest that our instruments are not good enough to detect and measure energy at such low level, about 10 − 9 (one billionth) Joules of energy per cubic meter.
Thought it was the anti matter stuff. Just read Brief History of Time. Understood a few pages.
Do you know there are particles that look different after a single rotation(360 degrees) , they have to be rotated twice(720 degrees) to get back to looking same. (and lots of them. Rotation 2)
OG won't believe it.Not sure I do but Stephen Hawking's assures us it's true, and he knew these things.
I believe we still don't know what that dark stuff is because at that level, it's energy or matter, dual aspect of existence depending on circumstance and we still don't know if and how these things are connected through entanglement. Still, they explain how we come to exist.
it's proven true in 1922 by the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
A stream of silver particles are shot through a strong magnet bar which splits the stream into two.
Agreed, and why i said on a lighthearted note, just teasing about experts.
Coincidentally though I've just been listening to a dumb expert boasting about how consumers were fooled into accepting less sugar and salt in their favourite foods.
Silly twerp, we weren't fooled and tasted the difference immediately. We just add the sugar and salt ourselves so nothing achieved.

I suspect it's a combination of mismanagement by Bolsonaro and the new P1 covid variant found there, but Brazil is having a really hard time of it at the moment. Details found on the link below.

It's been on the cards for a while, suspect Bolsonaro has handled pandemic worse than any other leader in world, combine that with all their crowded living, poverty, poor health system and its a recipe for disaster.
Got to sympathise, poor people living there. Must be a nightmare with no end in sight.
Brazil's health mismanagement is so bad that they are still having babies born with terrible deformities due to thalidomide still being inappropriately prescribed, over half a century since that should have ceased.

Hey .. I did that experiment as an undergrad.. Dab hand at ultra high Vacuums I was
was it necessary yet again to make this comment about someone you are hiding from?
"You listen and believe OG too much. You, ll end up manic depressive. "
As it happens I have been happily married for 56 years now, and am caring for Pat as she descends into Dementia, every day as she dies a little more so do I.
Considering our situation, I'm not optimistic, just doing what I have to
and still arguing about a better future for everyone.
I don't fully agree with flecc's take on humanity, but most of it is a sane view of how society has developed and is now unstable.
It‘s contagious grief. These idiots “catch” grief for a person they’d never heard of a week ago. The same thing happened when Saint Diana of Children’s Hearts was killed. Silly men stood in the streets blubbering over a person they didn’t even know. It’s quite astonishing.This is a dangerous situation on Clapham common
And very unwise,all that will be achieved is more cases of Covid transmission
Not just that but it will be used as an excuse to impose even more stringent control of the public, as there is no way the police themselves can comply with Social distancing in this situation.
Torchlight procession are awfully familiar where a government either loses control, or is in fact engineering a confrontation to excuse tightening it's grip.
The people who turned up were foolish in the extreme, what good do they imagine it will do?

This also poses a danger for everyone of course. The higher the infection rate, the greater the probability of another dangerous variant emerging.
Our newspapers are already trotting out headlines like, “Standby for a Summer of Fun” We are well placed at the moment. The country has been hit hard, but we are building a good base to keep infection low. I fear Party Boy is going to throw caution to the wind and take us back to square one again.

.. I was pretty good at interpreting Bragg's X-ray diffraction films.. those were the days my friend.
I sometimes forget this when we have a punch-up on here. It’s easy to forget that people have all sorts of personal issues to deal with away from a forum they occasionally drop into to vent their feelings.
You‘re an irritating bastard at times, but your wife is lucky to have a seemingly strong character like you by her side.
Too much of that sort of thing when a youth can make your eyes go funny.
Now where's my glasses?
