Ĥψ = Eψ , therefore:
Ĥ = E

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down…

Going out on a high note.

Of 30 countries in the EEA, 8 are monarchies: BE, DK, ES, LI, LU, NL, NO, SE.

EDIT: If I counted correctly, Europe as a whole has 4 more monarchies than that: AD, MC, UK, VA

Vasily Grossman, a Ukrainian Jew himself, wrote this after WW II on Jewish Nazi sympathizers and collaborators:

The violence of a totalitarian State is so great as to be no longer a means to an end; it becomes an object of mystical worship and adoration. How else can one explain the way certain intelligent, thinking Jews declared the slaughter of the Jews to be necessary for the happiness of mankind? That in view of this they were ready to take their own children to be executed - ready to carry out the sacrifice once demanded of Abraham?

NG SEO.

Is that from Golden Girls?

Ray Ban them.

I’m reminded of “Johnny Mnemonic,” the 1995 movie. From IMDB:

In 2021, society is driven by a virtual Internet, which has created a degenerative effect called “nerve attenuation syndrome” or NAS. Megacorporations control much of the world, intensifying the class hostility already created by NAS.

It seems to me that AI is the real “virtual internet” here.
Although rather unrelated to the topic at hand, I also liked this quote:

… [Henry] Rollins, who is uninterested in science fiction, joined the cast because he liked the film’s focus on an upcoming disadvantaged underclass.

Kinda shocking to learn that satansmaggotycumfart is among the ban-happy ones.

The premise is wrong, though. Resin tends to be acidic. You know what doesn’t like acid treatment? Chitin, on account of being a polysaccharide.
And even - or especially - if the resin was perfectly neutral, it would slowly suck the fats stored in the insect’s tissues out of the same.
Plus the O₂ that’s slowly diffusing in - and out - of the resin will, especially in connection with sunlight, decompose more and more stuff.
Whatever the decomposition processes are, you can see an orange-tinted sort of halo around the mantis. That’s the mixing zone - mantis molecules, meet resin molecules.

It’s death, Jim, but not as we know it.

Not only the CO₂, but also the glassware you put the water in for measuring can very significantly alter the pH. Some scientists I know systematically screened different, presumably clean, containers because of this effect before progressing with their experiments.

The yellow part looks like a flaccid strap-on to me.

“Is overtaking?” Sorry buddy, that point lies in the past. China dominates nearly all of the relevant future technologies and is still ramping up its investments. There’s no stopping them now.
