AHH!!! That's so exciting! Congratulations to you both (and your puppers)!

Quote

It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics [Quantum Field Theory, or QFT] and gravitation [General Relativity Theory, or GRT]. [...]

"It's a bit like the Cinderella fairy tale," [...] "There are several candidates, but only one of them can be the princess we are looking for. Only when the prince finds the slipper can he identify the real Cinderella. In quantum gravity, we have unfortunately not yet found such a slipper—an observable that clearly tells us which theory is the right one."

[...] "dark energy" [... which] is responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe on the largest scales[...] can also be included in the q-desic equation. "And when we did that, we were in for a surprise[...] The q-desics now differ significantly from the geodesics one would obtain in the usual way without quantum physics."

[...] While the deviations at small distances will probably remain unobservable, at length scales of around 10^(21) meters there can be substantial differences.

[...] we may finally have identified an observable that allows us to distinguish between viable and incorrect approaches to quantum gravity. A slipper has been found—now we have to find out which theory it truly fits.

Geodesic approach links quantum physics and gravitation - Phys.org

More like: they've identified a plausible slipper.

Of course it might fit more than one foot... and other feet may be altered (or mutate) to fit the Holy Grail (slipperY as it may be...).

New laptop!

[Macros]

It's so fast and shiny!

@Macros

Noice.

I am happy because yesterday Snotface graduated Uni with a double degree in Business and Arts(Psych), and today was my last day of work until I go back on 15 Jan 2026.

[Tsundoku]

Double post - I am overflowing with the good.

So I caught up with a few old Brisbane Malazites plus a few others tonight. We remembered to take a photo but unfortunately Razjinsar had already left.
Will get her next time.

From the left: Silencer, Shiara, Wolfy, Lucifer's Heaven, moi, Centzon Totochtin and three non-Malazans.

Oh I missed this. Double congrats!

Paul and Taint getting banged out.

Beautiful.

Sources in my newsfeed deemed the Jake Paul KO worthy of headlines but apparently failed to mention Tate. Paul is bad (Trump supporter last I checked, among other things) but Tate seems much, much worse.

Radical misogynist Andrew Tate put to sleep in brutal boxing defeat

Divisive social media influencer and former rape accused Andrew Tate has been humiliated and beaten to a pulp in his return to boxing.

I like the choice of pink gloves for clobbering Mr Misogynist... what was that quote again? "They came with pink gloves and left with red"

Yep. Don't care about boxing or MMA but man I've been following this haha it's a lot of fun seeing the incels trying to make this all ok in their world view.

The best one I saw was "Andrew Tate looks like a girl at the end of a date with Andrew Tate" which is utterly savage but gave me a shocked giggle.

I'm waiting for a "here's why winning a match is actually gay" post from him.

Also Jake Paul is moaning because despite being paid, AJ didn't follow the narrative JP wanted. It's glorious to see the amount of copium.

[Maark Abbott]

Joshua is not the sort of boxer to take a fall. The photos where he is clearly enjoying himself a great deal are so, so beautiful.

[amphibian]

None of the people Jake Paul has boxed took a fall. The thing about boxing heels is that there's a time honored tradition of them acting worse and worse to get that big payday that's drawing all the attention away from the semi careful matchmaking and the legit boxing training done.

This isn't to excuse the shitty actions or the brain rot that this all is. But when that's fully realized alongside the authoritarianism and the racism, it's a more complete picture of what actually is happening: "propping up an image of virility and toughness by fighting black men".

It doesn't really matter if they lose because the spin machine will attempt to spin anyways or move on to a new target. It's the same reason why Kadyrov and Putin were so into MMA for a while.

Happy Festivus!!!

Everybody ready for the Airing of Grievances?

I GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE!

Happy Christmas everyone! Hope it's a lovely & peaceful time for you, however you celebrate.
