Nice things thread

It's a gorgeous late-winter Friday in Maine. There's not a cloud in the blue, blue sky, and it may get all the way up to the high 40s today. I'm in an uncharacteristically good mood, so I decided to start this thread inviting you webdippers to be happy about something.

Anyone know why this formula is used?

Liberal of the day awards

To help Sbyvl36 on his noble quest of muting liberals, we will utilize this thread in determining who is the most liberal person of the day, and why he is liberal. Post possible nominations below and reasons as to why they are the liberal of the day. Together we should be able to make a decision and make Sbyvl36s life easier.

A mute a day keeps the Liberals away.

I have now started a tradition of muting one liberal everyday. I mute these people based on the radical statements that they make in the forum. As I don't want to hear it anymore, I am taking advantage of a very pleasant tool.

Real Science! The Higgs Boson confirmed

Since we are talking science today, I've noticed that no one has jumped on the announcement that the Higgs Boson was confirmed today. Although it has been suspected for decades, actually finding the particle that possibly gives everything its mass is a huge announcement.

Bohonk (1918 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

Why don't you tell me a bit about this super amazing particle. What are some of it's properties?

krellin (80 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

Er....it's kind of old news. I know this is the "official" confirmation....but this is actually old news. Sorry for the lack of excitement on this topic. I'd be more excited if the crazies turned out to be right and they accidentally created a black hole and we had but a limited time left to live before the earth was sucked into the void....but I guess those crazies went back to the global warming movement when the black hole never came in to being... :P

jimgov (219 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

Lol. I think that the actual scientists on this forum could shed better light on this than me.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

Bohonk, would you like to talk about the Pope or Kate Middleton's baby?

Octavious (2701 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

Yeah... the trouble is they are only pretty damn sure, not certain. A big fuss was made when they were quite sure a few months back, and some interest was shown when they had a strong suspicion a few years ago. But you get to a stage when the Higgs Boson celebration champaigne has been opened rather too many times and has gone a bit flat.

jimgov (219 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

Now the whole black hole thing would cause excitement. But this is the first actual confirmation of the Higgs, which should cause physicists many sleepless nights. When you only get a hit every trillion or so collisions, it takes time to come to an actual, verifiable conclusion.

I thought it was confirmed months ago...

jimgov (219 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

While it was discovered last June, the announcement that it had been confirmed was today.

bo_sox48 (5202 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

The black whole thing is quite scary as well.

Bohonk (1918 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

So what does the particle do? How does it have gravity?

Octavious (2701 )

What happens is that you spend the day staring at computers in CERN and you notice your eyelids getting heavy. Must be a reason for it, and it can't be boredom because science is fun. Therefore has to be the Higgs Boson.

abgemacht (1076 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

We talked about this a bunch several months ago when it first happened. Did they get more information or is this just a technicality?

jimgov (219 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

The announcement happened today. The amount of data collected brought the scientists to the conclusion that they could actually confirm its existence.

Octavious (2701 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

From what I gather they've spent months having a really close look at all their data and concluded they're probably right. They'll be doing a hell of a lot of this for the next year or so as CERN has been turned off until 2015.

In short, they're bored sick.

krellin (80 )
15 Mar 13 UTC

This is confirmation that the prior data collected was correct, I believe.

Still doesn't explain what was there *before* the Big Bang Theory...

Well, I suppose a bunch of script writers sitting in a room with a lot of Mountain Dew...

I USED to be the Liberal antagonist troll 'round these parts. Now Sbyvl69 thinks he can just come through and stick his ass in the burner? Hell no, Subivyl, I defy you and your poorly placed beliefs.

Last seen online?

I just saw somebody in a game online with a blue icon, but it didn't change the flag 'last seen online'. Question: how do these functions work? Is the blue icon reliable? Does the flag switch when a game is opened or literally when somebody is online?

Hey Thucy

"On the other hand if I must say anything on the subject of female excellence to those of you who will now be in widowhood, it will be all comprised in this brief exhortation. Great will be your glory in not falling short of your natural character; and greatest will be hers who is least talked of among the men whether for good or for bad." -Thucydides

Do Americans save money?

It may just be stupid television, but it seems like most Americans either spend their money as soon as they get it or save it to buy something more expensive as soon as they've got enough. Is this true for most Americans or is that just television? I don't know about other countries but here in the Netherlands most people (adults at least) have quite some money stashed on a bank account for worse days...

locked games

I don't understand it: I see so many locked games that people join but I never see them advertised in the forum. How do people who create the game expect to get the password to potential players? And, if I want to participate in a locked game, would it be odd to pm one of the players who already joined and just ask for the password?
