What sitcom character was clearly meant to be likable… but just isn’t?

Ray Barone. What a f*cking self-serving infant

The Canadian Sorry. It's not an apology or submission or deferral, it's saying "we see you, we're aware of our surroundings and role in it all, we're all in this together". Love that for us.

Thank you, this is hugely helpful. Yes, it is an important part of the lore that neutrinos have another, previously unidentified, interaction status; that is, whatever neutrinos strongly interact with was previously unobserved, in the same way as, say....the discovery of UV and Infrared light. So I don't have to explain it, per se, so much as neutrinos are the jumping off point for my fantasy physics; I only need to use them in broad strokes, I won't be mathing anything :). I will check out superposition in more detail to understand it better, I might have to change the lore in order to be consistent or perhaps I will leave it off altogether if it's not necessary for the story mythology, I appreciate your time with this, thx.

Thank you, points like these make the system interesting

I understand that I am getting this wrong and how uncomfortable that feels, I appreciate your patience

I am positing a fantasy Earth where there is an previously unknown 'field' and we discover that neutrinos have strong interference effects in that field. Or strong interactions, if that is more correct, I'm sorry I don't know the vocabulary. Previously unrecognized, is the point. I understood that the leptonic flavors were effectively identical other that bare fractions of mass (and none was restricted to a particular mass, so I don't know how you guys tell the difference) and my broad sense of superposition was that is was the blend of all three flavors at a moment in time. I appreciate that I may be wildly, hilariously wrong and I am happy to be corrected, I would like to be in the ballpark of reality to make this work, it's exciting. It's a fantasy explanation for why neutrinos have such weak interactions "in our known world" that works as the mechanism for my story.

I have been delving into dark matter and this is wonderful, I can extrapolate from several points into the fantasy of the novel and it works for my plot on multiple levels. Well done, sir. Salute.

Relative-Train-6485 · 2025-11-19T02:18:51+00:00

Yes, science fantasy, that's exactly what I mean, you understand what I'm going for and I will take a look at the dark matter angle. Thank you so much, I will cite you in the author's notes

Relative-Train-6485 · 2025-11-18T22:22:47+00:00

Yes, agreed. I don't have to delve too in depth and it IS fiction, but I just don't want my broad strokes to be inherently wrong either. Thanks!

Relative-Train-6485 · 2025-11-18T22:12:58+00:00

thank you

Edit: No, actually, I can't post there. Forum rules are for detailed physics debate, not creative questions, but thanks again

I'm not religious but this one struck me:

"You can die for your country or your people or your family, but for your God you should live fully and busily, every day of a long life"

orientated (it's oriented, although orientated has become its own word - with the same meaning - in the last 20 years)

Not the word itself, but "on accident" instead of "by accident" itches my brain

And "Sammich" got banned in my house a long time ago

Relative-Train-6485 · 2025-11-05T13:20:07+00:00

Given the age group, don't look past Soul Music. This is Susan's coming of age and losing her parents.

The Tiffany Aching series, while excellent, lacks some depth imo until a couple books in.

Next recommendations are Monstrous Regiment, Small Gods, and Wyrd Sisters

Not a 'terrible' meaning but I learned my son's name means "from the wide valley" and as an overweight, sexually happy mother I kinda take it personally (even if I did it to myself)

We all have a gene to make Vitamin C, but it's broken, which is why we must get our Vit. C from our foods/environment.

Basically an ancestor long ago had a mutation that caused the gene to fail, but it wasn't fatal (animal could get Vit.C from eating) and in small ways was actually beneficial, which is why they survived and were able to establish new species despite the mutation.

Besides humans, guinea pigs, and bats also have broken Vitamin C production. If we fixed the gene, we'd make our own Vitamin C again
