My superficial understanding is that - according to some people at least - the big bang is supposed to be neutral, merely dividing nothing into something and anti-something, aggregately summing up to zero.

Yes, you cite the original source as much as possible, if you can verify that source by actually reading it . If you can't, you cite the secondary source as citing the primary source. (Think "Secundus writes that "Primus wri

Amazing story! I assume this is why you are supposed to always cite the paper that you have actually read, even if it in turn cites another paper (if you can't access that source yourself). If more people had actually stuck to that rul

As you mention Blind Fury , do you know of the Zatoichi movie franchise [1], which is about a blind swordsman wandering Japan around the Edo to Meiji period? Really good films! ( Blind Fury is a reimagining of the 17th movie in the seri

I am sure none would claim that the US has not produced great things, but in an economy of world wide trade, even the US is very much dependent on foreign products. Just for one high tech example, the most sophisticated chips in the compute

After a bit of hesitation, I find myself agreeing. At least in so far, that for posts with lots of votes it should probably be the ratio, not the difference, that governs visibility. Unfortunately, for low vote counts the opposite/curr

I've read that the "dark ages" was a misunderstood term and really refers to them being "dark" to the historian due to a relative dearth of written documents from the time.

I agree which the general sentiment. If we want to determine how much worse things got in recent years, though, we would need to compare those numbers to what they were a few years ago. I understand that boys were always more likely to die

Constitutions are factually much less sticky than formally, as ultimately words require interpretation. When the law can't be rewritten, it will just be reinterpreted. Here's a reasonably well known monograph about the topic: John

In this case it's handy to know, that on DOS you can use assign to map a drive to a different letter.

IIRC that should count as using tools, but that's still a step away from making tools.

I think youtube-dl as well as yt-dlp can both download playlists. You can create a script to download all your playlist and make it a cron job. Videos that do already exist in the target folder will be skipped automatically.

I submit that human artists are, at the most fundamental level, no less "mechanical". They're just more complex. Also, should a human artist creating a pastiche count as copyright infringement as well?

So who's that mythical artist that hasn't seen and learned from the works of other artists? After all, these works will have left an imprint in their neural connections, so by the same argument their works are just as derivative,
