Thank you Mike I will try and check out those books.. I would only say that as long as you realise that you are basing your reasoning on your feeling that the universe needs a creator. A central concept of many religions ... the position that it cannot be any other way.

I think at some point we are going to have to accept that something can arise from nothing. Are there individual or multiple conscious entities in the universe that create and protect.? Yes us ... but it looks like for a long time we weren't particularly creative or imaginative and hardly...

I'm coming to the conclusion that nationalism/tribalism tends to the be cause of a lot of issues and nationalism can be secular. Knowledge is the only virtue.

One thing which is nice is that access 2003 is lightning fast even on old machines. I still use Access 2003 to time athletic races. I bought a couple of cheap second hand laptops from Stone refurb installed Access 2003 and its off to the races. I timed Tentsmuir 2023 at the weekend - 550...

OK so I am writing this and I can see its been marked as solved but here's an option that someone might find userful. You can create a table put all the queries in a table and use a function to run the queries. I've used it a few times it can be extremely powerful in certain circumstances. Link...

I'm just back from Costa Blanca - regular temperatures of 30 degrees. Friend was in Seville yesterday 39 degrees. Average October temperature in Seville should be 26 degrees. Just anecdotal of course and I'm definitely aware that I have not studied the data consistently but charts that I keep...

I probably think that it will only be solved by some kind of improvement in knowledge - for example renewable energy so cheap that it just makes sense to go with battery technology and solar rather than ICE. I just can't see individuals agreeing that everyone is going to stop going on holiday...

I personally probably don't believe most articles and photos now.. I was taken in by the POPE jacket and disappointed by Belling cat posting false Trump photos laughing at them and saying this is terrible when others do it but isn't it funny when we do it...

I bought him a coffee (I think) no idea what a coffee costs in Canada.

I doubt we are outnumbered by the ghosts of the past - but I sure do miss them.

Yes I'm not totally on board with these laws - they kind of seem to contradict each other... Second law of thermodynamics... Law of Entropy. Is life an example of greater order or greater disorder?

I thought CHATGPT 4 is limited but 3.5 is unlimited?

Just spotted this today. I wish Daniel all the best and admire his dedication to his discipline I wish him all success in the future whatever he decides. I will miss regularly visiting his site.

So a bit leftfield but just thought I'd say. I've been burnt with update queries and normalisation in database design before so here's something to consider... I find queries and maximisation of sub tables better for dynamic immutability. These are difficult concepts to initially get your head...

This is a long term project - so give yourself plenty of time e.g year or more... Its a good idea to get the backend into an enterprise grade database... My personal choice is usually sql server or postgres although mysql and maria db are options as well. If you already have an MS Access front...

Not bad well arranged and well played - some complain about a loss of musicianship in modern bands but when you see songs like that you can see there are still people around and able to craft excellent music. I kind of prefer it to most K pop but not sure that K popl is my thing. I ve just...

I haven't watched the clip but to my mind everything revolves around battery technology. Electric motors sound like they are simpler and therefore more efficient and more reliable. The world will eventually crack better batteries - that's going to be better for everyone for loads of devices...

This thread is long hopefully I didn't post that before... but I like them... Tim Henson (the first lead guitarist) I believe designed this in a music scripting programme and then learn't to play it afterwards... Polyphia are really on a wave at the moment and I expect some of the guitarists...
