Mike Hinton: I'm surprised I haven't seen an explanation, but my guess has always been that they are messing with stuff behind the scenes as they work towards a new site layout. I don't think it's inherent instability, but rather maintenance without taking the whole site down. · 10 minutes ago

I'm going to ask the suits to explain it, since I'm not technical, but we were notified of something along these lines that was to take place during our least busy hours (early AM today). And that went fine, but there was some debris left over when they finished and it caused some problems.

I was actually having trouble loading many pages and that's all been cleaned up -- but the alerts are buggy. I assume it's related to the work done above but I'll report it and make sure.

I do apologize for the frustrations and problems ... · 4 minutes ago

Thanks. Nice to see a left sider post on it.

The key to problems is rapid up front explanations. It is as true online as it is when your flight is delayed.

I hope it is an improvement coming, but I am with Estonia Kat on this one. We all pay for our membership, give gift memberships, we are inundated with ads, now have to endure pop unders, etc. and still have a marginally functional forum.

Being a start up is cute for a while, but at some point it needs to go from start up to grown up.

I was going to quote you, but I did not see a quote option so I cut and paste.

Ricochet's ads are quickly moving to be on par with NRO, which is horrible. I cannot even read NRO on my phone anymore due to all the ads that have to load, and I pay them for Digital and Dead Tree.

When is this roll out going to be, anyway? I play World of Warcraft and they let you know well ahead the changes. Maybe the roll out is not perfect, but at least you know what is coming.

And the glitches happenafter the update, not before.

Even if it just in the member feed, it would be good customer service to tell us what is going on.

They got away with it because Democrat followers don't care.

Follow us: @AmericanThinker on Twitter | AmericanThinker on Facebook

That sums it up. Democrat voters do not care how corrupt their party is, or what they do because they will be damned if they ever vote for a racist, uncaring Republican.The brand for the GOP is so bad, so tarnished that people who disagree with 99% of the Dem platform and what they do, will still vote for them.

DocJay: Bryan Stephens, this may blow over because of a corrupt commie media, a complicit democrat crowd, and an inept GOP. There are consequences for everything however. · 2 minutes ago

Can you name me one thing that has stuck on him? One thing the criminal organization that is the Obama administration has suffered?

I just don't see how there is any path other than an ongoing abuse of power.

Bryan G. Stephens

None of it matters. It won't matter. Nothing will come of it. The Media will not report it straight. No damage will be done. Our side will lose.

We cannot win. The press will lie, and report any lies given to it and the people will listen to the lies. Period.

If I work 60-70 hours a week and provide the income that supports the household, while my wife works 35-40 for money for her, how, exactly should the chores be divided up? · 13 hours ago

Uh oh.  The answer is, "It depends" on a lot of things that only the two people involved know.  Best discussed as fairly as you can in the assumption of good will on both sides, preferably accompanied by snuggling.

Even my incredibly wonderful husband many years ago seemed to discount my income and assume he supported the household, though I was paying daycare that exceeded the mortgage, plus electric, phone, food, the family car, vacations, everyone's clothing, etc.- you may not realize.  · 4 hours ago

In my current situation, I support all 4 of us with just my income. My wife supports the household with hours of not just chores, but errands, and appointments for the kids. She thanks me for going to work to support the family, and I thank her for making what I do possible.

We are the happiest couple we know in our age group.

Bryan G. Stephens: An honest question:

If both are working full time they should share 50/50?

What is one makes significantly more money for the household than the other? Should chores still be split 50/50 then?

Both might work full time, but there are different ways of working full time. Maybe one works more hours. I would wager, that there are often households where the income balance is not close to parity. Someone is getting paid a lot more.

My wife and I work and we share household and yard chores.  No one keeps score, however.  Keeping score can ruin a marriage.  If both people are committed to each other, keeping score is not necessary - both will be doing their best to help the other.  Also, marriage is rarely a 50/50 proposition.  Sometimes it's 90/10 and sometimes 10/90.  · 55 minutes ago

I was not the one demanding score keeping, someone else was, thus my question.

13/13. I could have answered these all correctly when I was 13 I imagine.

I told you what time is not -- True.

But this sentence: "My definition of time is EXACTLY as it has always been until Einstein and his ilk started confusing us." is sufficient to define time. Why obfuscate this? That's a clear statement -- I left it to you guys to look this up.  · 0 minutes ago

My definition of time is EXACTLY as it has always been until Einstein and his ilk started confusing us. [...] Time is not space dependent nor is it velocity dependent, it's not metaphysical, it's not cosmic, it's as pedestrian as you can get and is  one of the most basic building blocks of our understanding in physics -- until Einstein.

You've told us what you believe time isnot, but you haven't told us what itis, aside from "pedestrian" and "basic" (words which could describe a variety of things).

I did look it up, and you agreed to it. Time defined in such a way that is has to be measured.

So, how do you measure time? I use a watch. What do you use?

Bryan G. Stephens
Larry Koler: Measuring time and time are not the same thing. I'm talking about the definition of time. You're talking about instrumentation.  · 0 minutes ago

All you have to do is define time, yet you refuse to do it.

How about:

the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues

That is a standard way to define time on every place I looked, on and off the web.

If that is not how you define time, please explain how this definition is incorrect.

Bryan G. Stephens

How do you tell time, Larry? How hard a question is that to answer?

Again, I'm looking for a way to measure time that Beckmann would consider correct.

Read the comments. 

I think you've misunderstood my question.  Inpractice, how can you measure time correctly in the sense that you mean it?

That is, can you use a clock? Any kind of accurate clock?  Or do you, Beckmann, & Bethell think certain kinds of clocks are affected by gravity or velocity in a way that makes them unreliable ways of measuring time?  (i.e, do they instead measure what Einsteinincorrectlylabeled as time?)

For example, do you believe that any of the following types of clocks would measure time correctly: pendulum clocks, spring clocks, quartz-crystal clocks, or atomic clocks?

Or is there some other natural phenomenon we could use to keep correct time?  The lifetime of subatomic particles?  Or the rotation speeds of pulsars?

If none of these can be used to measure time as you define it, what kind of device could we build that would? · 1 hour ago
