  1. I found a suitable bit of flowing water, though it's quality isn't great.
  2. You always were, you just needed to recognise it properly
  3. I can think of a few properties that our team has right now, too
  4. Unfortunately, I am that woman, (because I'm much better informed due to work done by a friend (who lives in Leicester)) - and I recognise and understand the difference between considering anything from either a universe or human-centric perspective. The problem, is that, as human beings, we can NEVER perceive anything AS the universe, and therefore anything based upon such a perspective MUST be wrong FOR humanity. Not considering water wet exists within a perspective from the universe, not humanity, where we DO perceive water as being wet, directly - because of the effect the WATER (and other liquids) has upon what it comes in contact with, regardless of any other context. Water (and many other other liquids) is indeed wet and transfers that property to things when it comes in contact with them. It does not cease to be wet at any point, in itself. We perceive water as having such a property, directly, based on our touch of it. That other things becoming wet is a property that can be gained or lost in relation to such liquids, is the entire point. This is NOT a unique situation or problem, unfortunately, and it's affecting a LOT more than just the property of 'wet' for water. Although the nature and existence of of properties is the most obvious symptom in itself, there are others that are even more fundamental, and even being made by academia itself, though you'd expect those involved in such a manner would actually know better. Academia makes this mistake, because, in an attempt to remove the influence of 'individual subjectivity' from affecting many of the type of things being studied and described, it often goes too far, and removes human perspective entirely, even though that's impossible for any human being recognise. This problem is exactly how and why academia doesn't fully recognise and understand what mathematics truly is FOR humanity - (merely a matter of content, like anything else within that context) - and by trying to treat it solely as something we perceive, (or only apply), is to deny any and all human interpretation of creating numbers etc. to describe what we perceive - numbers that we haven't always had (the number zero being only a couple of hundred years old!) For a similar problem to that of water being wet, however, there is the perception of 'impossible colours' which makes exactly the same mistake - trying to consider the existence of properties that require human interpretation, completely separately from such context. Colours, like every other property of things (or any other concept) requires our subjective interpretation of what we perceive - a matter of thought caused by such perception that then includes our imagination in combination. Humanity creates abstractions of everything perceived and imagined and its within this abstraction that such differences between things, their properties, things of happening + properties etc. are created. The universe knows nothing of properties, only different things (and ultimately different forms of energy) that have them. But this is why trying to treat properties of things etc. AS things, etc., is often the most fundamental mistake of all.
  5. And that was before he'd even had breakfast...
  6. I meant for the Championship.
  7. That's it for Norris, now, right?
  8. Go Ocon!
  9. We'll see what he looks like in a Ferrari next season...
  10. The red flag changes that
  11. Verstappen is winning this race then
  12. Leclerc in - plz be the right call More inters?
  13. The 3 years age difference between Lando and Max definitely seems greater in application.
  14. This is the type of problem where I blame the game/rules (and lack thereof) than the players.
  15. But that'd be boring
  16. If he didn't have bad starts, he'd never start at all
  17. Verstappen up to 10th already - dammit.
  18. It's a shame it's Florist, but any outsiders taking on the big teams has to be given a big thumbs up.
  19. Shouldn't be a valid excuse, though.
  20. Looks like a lot of drivers could be punished now - uh oh.
  21. Can Norris get a decent start, for once? Stroll even loses it on the formation lap, and THEN chooses to beach it
  22. Spurs definitely seems the team to play for if/when you're a BIG twat
  23. Ooh - close for Russell, but Norris on Pole.
  24. Not a good day for Aston Martin Alonso crashed now too... Good luck to Williams getting that one fixed....
