You see, your Swedishfication has already begun...
Next thing you know, you'll start drinking copious amounts of alcohol and complaint at the same time that it is extremely harmful and is way too available to everybody else (who are NOT capable of taking the responsibility for their own lives). You will also start making up extremely stupid and unnecessary rules about EVERY friggin little detail of life - and you will be completely unable to break or bend any of those rules no matter what the situation, because rules are there to be obeyed! AND you will be totally unable to do anything that is not covered by the rules - or take any personal initiative - for fear of doing something wrong and be held personally responsible.
I won't say anything more, because I'm afraid that if I do, I might say something stupid that will show that I'm not entirely fond about all aspects of the Swedish mentality...
But what the heck, I seem to be doing 25 to life here, so I might as well make the best of it...
Rant over!

A normal day:
A TV show with a Chinese character comes on the telly.
My Mrs: Hey! He's not Chinese! He's %$#*&^ Korean!
Me (and most of the Western world): He is?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

To be fair, though, the American problems is that too many of us are abjectly ignorant of the world[^], thanks in large part to efforts by a certain political party to eliminate, or at least gut, public education.

This thread title gave me a different thought at first like Chris was informing that he got a male baby.
Any info. about his kids please?
|
|
|
|
|
We have information about his kids father, does that count?

Someone out there must be able to answer this (I'm thinking Darlek Dave might have a stab) I'm a bit puzzled by the difference between a Positron & a Proton, they both have a charge +1, does a Positron contain a Proton and something else (such as a neutron) or is it a Proton that has simply left the nucleus sorry...
|
|
|
|
|
Positrons are antimatter electrons; protons are normal matter positively charged particles.

Ahh...that helps believe it or not (returns to the Feynman Lectures)
|
|

Look at it this way:
A positron is the same size and mass as an electron, but made of antimatter, so if it comes into contact with an electron, they cancel each other out, and are annihilated (they both cease to exist, with a bit of a bang).
A proton is way, way bigger and more massive than an electron, but has a positive charge that is equal and opposite to the negative charge of an electron (give or take), so if you put a proton and electron together, the electrical charge cancels out, but neither particle is changed.

Hmmm, this is another example of why I would like to study a bit more physics (I left it after A-Level did a bit the first year of my Degree and none since) I have started to read the Feynman Lectures more due to fact he was (to quote my old physics teacher) "A bongo, playing s*x maniac who invented the A-bomb"...

It all makes sense, but initially seeing that sense can be tricky.
