This is old news to me, but I can attest to the general thread of the situation as someone who grew up as a JW. The church actively discourages members from reporting crimes to law enforcement. It's really disgusting.

@mzbehavin she doesn't have one, yet has a list of complaints about what partners do that she doesn't like. I don't need to be hers to point out she doesn't appear to need one to complain. So I'm guessing 2 way street. Like it matters.

The Emptiness of Atomic Space.

1of5 comments on Mar 21, 2019:

The light doesn't "miss" the atom. It interacts with the field generated by the atom. While it's true that the actual matter of an atom is 99.99% space the field it generates makes it "solid". If your "theory" here were true we wouldn't even be able to see anything. The opacity of a substance has...

1of5 replies on Mar 22, 2019:

@johnprytz it's empty space, but there are forces acting within it that go counter to what you're thinking. In your example, if the tree trunk is all you're counting (its the proton that has mass) as matter then it makes sense. Add in branches and leaves (the field created by the electrons), however, and the effective "size" of the trunk is magnified a hundred fold. Trees can be 20 feet apart, yet if you try to walk between them you'll get caught in the branches. It's a much simplified and flawed explanation, but as close as I'm going to get.

@fishline79 I'm originally from Washington State, and there the ballot gets sent to you by mail so it arrives 2 weeks before election day. Can mail it back or drop it off at collection sites when it's convenient, as long as it's postmarked before election day is over. It's way to good of a system to be used nationwide, though, and your idea of moving the day to Sunday doesn't look like it'd solve much of anything, to me.
