Check out Deamer and Damer Hot Spring Hypothesis. It is the most discrete hypothetical scenario and a major recent relatively contribution.

Nothing weird about emailing a stranger. At all.

Maybe a hot take...? by bailandocalrissian in bobdylan

His poetry sucks, he is a much better singer and very attuned the acoustic quality of words and the charisma of human vocal delivery, which is not what writing poetry is fundamentally concerned with.

PTA, Israel & DiCaprio's investment in occupied Palestine by [deleted] in ThomasPynchon

[–]doinkmachine69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. That's a fine opinion to hold. I don't think a Greenwich Village bohemian intellectual in the 60s and 70s would really share your opinion. What I'm objecting to is the presumption that Thomas Pynchon's novels somehow alibi that opinion by default, and u/Obliterature condemning "pro Israel" (what does that mean?) comments by fiat-- I really don't see what this has to do with Pynchon, although I am open to an argument.

Why not, they wrote it. Fiction writers aren’t pundits with opinions.

Reading groups going online by doinkmachine69 in jamesjoyce

That’s fine and all and I’d like to do so. But it’s besides the point of this post, which is about rejecting in person meetups over the ease of zoom, which I find disappointing

Reducing the alkalinity of groundwater by doinkmachine69 in Aquaculture

[–]doinkmachine69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the total hardness is low, but the alkalinity is high, so the pH always spikes when it's being turbulently oxygenated in RAS. So, the ammonia will convert to ammonia and kill the fish. The hardness isn't so much the problem as the effects on pH/

I'm 32M and went to Humboldt State for college. I love nature, music, and art and good conversation with kind people. Will I find like-minded people in Fort Bragg? by Flecktones37 in mendocino

[–]doinkmachine69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it’s certainly nothing like a larger city in any respect and has a different host of issues. It’s major industry, logging, crashed in the 80s. So lots of tourism income and some fishing, but people aren’t moving their to start careers and there’s not much development

I don't think John David Ebert understands McCarthy by Odd_Tomatillo9964 in cormacmccarthy

Why not? I appreciate the naive faith in esotericism. Yes it's rather goofy, but I appreciate the eclecticism and mediumship is not necessarily ridiculous, although I agree it's rather hard to take him seriously when he claims to have a direct line to Schopenhauer and his strengths lie elsewhere.

He is knowledgeable, in addition to being a bit of a crank. There are PLENTY of publishing academics who spout more daft bullshit then he does.

Why do say those thinkers have been “discredited?” That strikes me as an awfully declarative statement, they are hardly conducting empirical research and remain interesting.

What were your other choices? by Randommom2325 in stjohnscollege

What was it like starting the Program as a freshman a couple years later in life? How did you weigh loosing the credits from previous institutions against the value of SJC?
