From your first 3 points:

1. Spacetime is not a fixed grid. Einstein’s theory of curved spacetime has been supported by numerous experiments: mercury precession, observations of stars near the sun during a solar eclipse, gravitational waves, etc.
2. Planck time is defined from the Planck length and the speed of light, so yes, this is by definition true.
3. Define evolve and self-propagate. Protons or electrons certainly do not produce copies of themselves, at least to my knowledge, as this would violate conservation of energy, momentum, spin, lepton number, etc. Show me a proposed process where an electron creates two electrons that does not violate conservation laws.

Big bang theory makes a hell of a lot of sense, and currently explains CMBR extremely well. The cause of the big bang is obviously still unknown (if that is even a reasonable question.) Not liking, or understanding, the theory is not reason to dismiss it. “Spewing information from digits of pi?” This is pure stoner talk. Digit of pi are arbitrary, and are different in different number bases: decimal, binary, hexadecimal, etc. Numbers are also not things in physical reality, only conceptual concepts.

From your properties of a graviton:

1. Size is unrelated to being detectable. In addition, in particle physics, size is a bit fuzzy, since all particles are waves, and “size” might be defined by the wavelength of the particle.
2. Gravitons are proposed as the force carrier for the gravitational force. But possibly don’t exist since Einstein’s theory demonstrates that mass curves spacetime instead, and gravity is not an actual force, and thus no force carrier required. This contradiction is one problem with merging quantum theory and general relativity.
3. Sure, if a graviton was emitted, dynamics could be worked out to determine where the emitting mass is, similar to emitted photons indicating where the object that emitted the photon is.
4. Vector directions are arbitrary. A vector is not a thing, but a mathematical construct used to define magnitudes and directions. Negative vector is only an instruction to reverse the direction of that vector.

Particles exhibiting intelligence? Define what you mean by intelligence. How does a photon “try to survive”? Current understanding of particles is that they obey very predictable rules governed by quantum theory, which doesn’t indicate any intelligence or decision making from the particle.

Finally, for your use of gravitons:

1. This could be measured in a lab. One could measure a particle decay through an unknown mechanism. As far as I’m aware, this has not been observed.
2. Mass is gravitationally attracted to mass. Sure. Gravitons are the proposed force carrier for gravitational force. If they existed, this is how they might work.

You have an interest in physics, which I applaud, but you should read some introductory physics textbooks, or enroll in undergraduate introductory physics classes, and master the fundamentals (Newtonian mechanics, classical electrodynamics, quantum, stat/mech).

I would argue yes. There’s definitely some high points of the new expansion. Though might depend specifically what you enjoy about wow. In general, quality of life in the game is much better with the warband feature. I enjoy the storyline. The raid is good. Delves are great for solo progression. But Mythic+ is in the worst state it’s been in for years.

I recommend watching the judge lay down the sentence and his comments, many of which are quoted in the article. I don’t have a link but my gf found it easily enough on youtube. Very entertaining.

I zoomed in looking for tex code. Was disappointed.

I’m pretty sure it’s a cucumber plant. I planted them for the first time this year and they grow those little things to grab onto stuff for support. It’s really neat!

Used to be in the metallica club and went to one of their small shows when st anger was released and except for one or two st anger songs, they played all old stuff.

I’m into all the classic swedish melodeth bands and there were a ton of really good shows in the 2000s. Perhaps one of ny favorites of those was when Dark tranquillity, Insomnium, and swallow the sun toured together. I think There was a 4th swedish band on that tour but cant remember who. Maybe soilwork? Or maybe it was soilwork and not DT.

I saw DT and soilwork a zillion times but only saw insomnium and swallow the sun that once.

First time i saw Devin Townsend was pretty special too.

Just ducks.

My opinion here, so obvious caveat.

Burning Wheel has one good system in it: the beliefs, instincts, and traits are awesome. This could compliment or replace bonds. Otherwise though Burning Wheel is a giant complicated mess of rules that are completely opposite of the rules-light point of dungeon world.

I’ve been running wow on linux via lutris since BFA.

His Misquoting Jesus podcast is fantastic. Definitely listen if you enjoy Ehrman.

I was employed at this awesome little school but left before Desantis’s stupid anti-woke and DEI crusade. I hope it and the current students/employees don’t suffer too much. I doubt Desantis gets voted out…

Yup, Google Now was actually useful and helpful, so of course they had to get rid of it.

That looks like ranch dressing.

No. You don’t manually place apps on homescreen. I have it configured to only show one row of favorites, which are categorized as “pinned - manually sorted”. Than the rest of my favorites are seen when i swipe to app drawer.

Can do homescreen icons. It has a widgets “pane”. You don’t place them on the home screen but put all widgets together than swipe to widgets. You can configure kvaesitso so it’s not too different from stock android experience.

I have 5 “favorite” apps at bottom of screen, above the search bar, similar to stock android.

I swipe left for my app drawer, which allows for more pinned favorites above full list.

I swipe up for all my widgets.

Swipe down for notifications, like stock.

Swipe right for my camera app.

I too would be put off if it had to be used that way. But it can be used as a regular icon tapping launcher - it has a regular app drawer - which is how i use it. I don’t think it should market itself as a “search-focused” launcher.

Yeah the cinematic wow team is amazing. They haven’t been as good lately, mainly because the main wow storyline now is kinda garbage, but go watch the Warbringers: Jaina cinematic, which came out for the BFA launch. Same art style, hits hard.

Kvaesitso has risen to the top as my favorite launcher after trying a ton of launchers.

It also does not lock the file, so functions well as a pdf viewer for latex on windows.
