Well, I’m sure it’s just as good at cleaning out someone’s privates as some of the suggestions Paltrow has pushed. :wink:

What’s happening in Flint is a wellness issue.

Right. Mhm. Sure.

It’s going to be interesting to see if she can really pull off the ignored-laughed-at-winning! phrase, or if the Dunning-Kruger moments finally sink her.

In a way, I get it. Wouldn’t it just be better if people resolved political dilemmas by analyzing for wellness above all else, so long as you answer the questions like whose wellness and who are you leaving out?

It’s possible to speak to that level in a way that opens up real questions.

The pumice really scours your colon, for that clean, down to the submucosa feeling.

Oh yeah, put out that way and it’s totally sensible. So long as the answer doesn’t include things like “insert a jade egg in your vagina” or “buy a $2,000 kitchen stand mixer”, that would be a great approach.

They use continuous creation. That I can’t get my head around.

Not significantly different from what we are dealing with under current conjectures, I think. You need to posit a continuous influx of dark energy to account for expansion as is. This posits that the influx takes a certain form.

Ah, I didn’t know that. I assume it’s not coming from Wal-Mart. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Well, the energy density of empty space remains fairly constant. Whether Wal-Mart is a factor or not, I can’t say. That may be a matter of increasing duncity energy causing space to flee in alarm…

I don’t know what you’re saying but I like the way you say it.

extremely interesting!
the West has been really diligent about empirical truth and puzzling physics out step-by-step.
but if this theory bears out, we will have to bow to the East for understanding the big picture all along:

Dr. Farnes says: “We now think that both dark matter and dark energy can be unified into a fluid which possesses a type of 'negative gravity,” repelling all other material around them. Although this matter is peculiar to us, it suggests that our cosmos is symmetrical in both positive and negative qualities."

Dunno. A lot of physics is described in terms of symmetries and (also important!) symmetry breaking.

Apparently Senaptec and Nike are selling strobe glasses for eye training.

I have to wonder what quackery inspired this… and how many people will get hurt…
