Chaos and the Anti-Thread

[Emil El Zapato]

Good robot ... Asimov and his everlasting legacy. Deep ocean colors are wondrously remarkable.

[Dreamtimer]

Isn't the deep ocean pretty much black?

Watch out for the denizens of the deep. They are not robots. They may be angling for you...

[Emil El Zapato]

I misstated my thought ... The top of the deep blue sea ... the colors are so vivid, like dye

[Dreamtimer]

You're right. Exquisite.

Bruce Lee said to be water.

He also said,

There is a powerful craving in most of us to see ourselves as instruments in the hands of others and thus free ourselves from the responsibility for acts which are prompted by our own questionable inclinations and impulses. Both the strong and the weak grasp at this alibi. The latter hide their malevolence under the virtue of obedience: they acted dishonorably because they had to obey orders. The strong, too, claim absolution by proclaiming themselves the chosen instrument of a higher power -- God, history, fate, nation, or humanity. — Bruce Lee

I think I should start reading Bruce Lee quotes on a regular basis. That man was a fighter and a philosopher.

[Emil El Zapato]

yes, which is why he was such an icon. What's funny/ironic in the movie, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" Brad Pitt's character beats the hell out of Bruce Lee on set because Lee is being all cocky and badass and challenges Pitt to a 'showdown'. Pitt plays a 'reputed' wife killer bodyguard of Leo's character, a fading Hollywood Western star. It's a good movie.

[Dreamtimer]

Sounds massively fictional.

It was a good movie, but that fight was silly. There was a controversy about it, people were claiming that Tarantino disrespected Bruce's legacy.

[Dreamtimer]

Well he clearly did if he portrayed Lee as cocky and needing to prove himself with an unnecessary fight.

But hey, it's Quentin. He apparently didn't care that he endangered and possibly caused permanent injury to Uma Thurman.

Gotta make the cash, right?

[Wind]

I actually haven't seen any of Bruce's movies even though he kinda has been my idol.

I loved his son's Brandon's movie The Crow, but it was tragic in many ways as he died while filming it.

you simply have to watch: 'Enter the Dragon' and 'Return of the Dragon'

Bruce puts a whuppin' on Chuck Norris, after taking a few licks he then gets serious (Return)

The original (Enter) was a rendition of the Old Western organized 'showdowns' in a manner very similar to 'Bloodsport' which Van Damme stole from Bruce Lee, not that there's anything wrong with that.

yes, he did, but you know 'Hollywood'

you know who is my favorite newscaster ... Tucker Carlson ... no, not really

Poppy Harlow ... she is totally real, no nonsense and tough ... she's good ... I hope she's happy?

[Wind]

I used to have this wall flag of Bruce on my wall, I still have that flag.

I will have to watch those movies too, I have a collection of Bruce's movies.

More on the Uma Thurman, Tarantino injury story

But Thurman didn't just call out Weinstein. In a shocking twist, she also spoke out against the director she'll be forever linked to: Quentin Tarantino.

Halfway through the Times story, the narrative shifts from Weinstein to Tarantino, and how the director — who made Thurman a star in his movie, "Pulp Fiction" — allegedly forced her, on the set of "Kill Bill," to do a scene she wanted a stunt driver to do instead. It led to the actress being injured.

man, you guys are being mean to Tarrantino ... seriously though I would never advocate for someone that is unsympathetic to other's life and limb. He had a really unusual upbringing, if i remember not financial harship but plenty of emotional hardship. That doesn't make his actions forgivable... Did Thurman sacrifice for her career or was she 'frightened' to say no?

The magic of the ocean!

fascinating stuff ...

i wonder if those mating parameters are measured in wattage?

I always wanted my cat to be blue...i couldn't get anybody on board with me unfortunately.

A logical statement is a statement that, when true, allows us to take a known set of facts and infer (or assume) a new fact from them. Logical statements have two parts: The hypothesis, which is the premise or set of facts that we start with, and the conclusion, which is the new fact that we can infer when the hypothesis is true. (Note: If you've used hypothesis in science class, you've probably noticed that this is a fairly different definition. Be careful not to get confused!)

Consider this statement:

If you go outside without any rain gear or cover when it’s pouring rain, you will get wet.

Here, the hypothesis is “you go outside without any rain gear or cover when it’s pouring rain.” The hypothesis must be completely true before we can use the statement to infer anything new from it. What does this statement say about someone who doesn’t go outside? About someone who uses an umbrella? About what happens to someone when it’s not pouring rain? Nothing. This statement doesn't apply to anyone in those cases.

The conclusion of this statement is “you will get wet.” Suppose it’s raining, and someone walks outside, and doesn't have any rain gear or other kind of cover—what will happen? All the parts of the hypothesis have been met, so—if the statement is true—we can infer that the person is going to get wet. It certainly seems reasonable that they would!

Note that in this example, if the hypothesis isn’t true, the person still could get wet. On a sunny day with no rain, someone might go outside to wash his car and get sprayed by the hose. Someone else might go swimming, and then they would really get wet! The statement says nothing when the hypothesis is false. It's only helpful when the hypothesis is true.

Not all logical statements are written as “If (something is true) then (something else is true).” To identify the hypothesis and conclusion, you may need to try to rewrite a statement in an “if-then” format.
