I dated twins once, it was fascinating. It was like they had a right brain/left brain split. One was very buttoned up and professional, the other very unrestrained and wild. One was right handed, the other left handed.

They would often say the same things at the same time, it was like having conversations in stereo. We had tons of fun, but had been put together for work from two different offices. Eventually that ended, but it was fun while it lasted!

Whoo boy, you should have been in Portland when we did it:

Mayor:

City Council (3 open seats per district):

Only one of two people can win. Feel free, vote for Vermin Supreme. You and the other 2 people who voted for him will be very happy you threw away your vote.

The rest of us got Trump, thanks.

Anne McCaffrey probably inspired a lot of women. Ditto Diana Gabaldon.

Now that I think about it, Margaret Weis too…

Hard to say, it’s been years since I’ve done a full inventory and I have books signed by people who have since passed away. :(

Working on a current inventory now.

I have a lot of comic book boxes:

I created a script that lets me query the database to return the box numbers for certain content.

I can search by writer, artist, title, character, notes, even down to issue number.

What I’d LIKE to do is hook it into a voice recognition system and smart lights and get it to light up the boxes “Wheel of Fortune” style. But I’m aways off that yet.

Hate to say it… W. was smarter…

Like Obama’s action against Libya? 🤔

Look, I don’t like Trump either, but this is the same bullshit threat Republicans dropped when Obama was President.

The FTL is the sci-fi component that is the subject of the thread, the quantum entanglement communication part is the real world piece they actually got working.

Read the link posted. They already did it. In 2007. At a distance of 144km.

The idea is this:

2 particles are quantum entangled. Whatever happens to one instantly happens to the other regardless of distance.

So you establish a state that means “0” and a state that means “1” and you can send binary.

At a minimum, you have quantum Morse code.
