Update: Despite warm temperature (over 45 degrees) this morning, lots of rain came along, and I’m afraid that that’s what caused a significant amount of leaves to fall. Otherwise, however, I was really looking forward to the peak of the colors of the leaves. I will try to make use of what color remains. Without the rain, the best time for fall color would’ve been around the 5th of November, and I could tell by the way that the enormous maple tree in my backyard has changed color. But at least what I can do is take some photos, which is exactly what I did today, and compare them over the years (by coming back and taking a near identical photo of the same place from the same position exactly one year apart) to possibly show the effects that potentially changing climate has on the autumn colors!

When the large Maple in my woods starts changing color, is when the leaves will soon be in full color in the forest. When it starts to turn either orange or red, that's when the magic's at it's height. Currently, the tree is only yellow with some orange and hints of red. So the colors here in Southern Michigan still aren't fully there.

I came out of this last week very badly. Someone ought to lend me a painkiller. I felt like shit today. I was treated like shit today. He packed like all of the parts that I was inspecting, and I never got the chance to look them over. I might lose it, I might lose the job because of this and I might just lose my sanity now. I have poor memory and I forgot to mention the problem to him, now I don't know what's going to be with my life.
Why alternative realities can not be possible in the multiverse

According to the multiverse theory, anything that can happen does happen in an alternative universe. However, as I explained, each universe besides our own, is like the soap bubble; although the soap bubble might seem to form a definitive boundary through which nothing can interact, that simply isn’t true; the effects of our universe extend to all universes, to the entire multiverse. Therefore, the thought that each universe is slightly different than one another, and coming to the conclusion that every alternative to our own universe is out there, is simply nonsense in my opinion. That’s because our own universe has an influence on all other potential universes, and everything that happens in each universe is to some extent dependent on our own, and our own universe has effects on the entire multiverse. I think that that is, at least to some extent, an echo of the quantum explanation of physics. Every thought that we produce here in this universe has some kind of an influence on ano...
And why the humans must come to life?

Why must we be alive in the first place? For the significance of life can be appreciated mainly through the perception of time. The significance of life is mainly dependent on what your own experience of life is like, mainly the experience of time. We could live at a much quicker pace, or much slower pace; however, because we experience decades as we do (as going by relatively slowly), we give major significance to life, because so much seems to happen. But if we were to experience it at many times slower, we would probably give many times as much significance to our experience of life. However, if we experienced the years going by quicker, we might not put as much significance into life and not be worried so much about dieing. It could be that life is something that happens extremely quickly, it’s just that we are so “slowed down” regarding our experience, and therefore seem to put too much emphasis on this moment. However, it’s all that we have for now. Yet what if it’s the othe...
Phone with high resolution versus large sensor with low resolution

Today let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages of two cameras: one with a sensor smaller than the other, while having more resolution than the latter. Which would be a winner? First of all, many people would probably focus most on pixels, which can be a major player, but perhaps not the main player, in image quality. The more pixels there are, the larger an image can be printed. However, do keep in mind that if the lighting changes drastically, and if you also want to use various different settings and still get identical looking images, you might be disappointed if the sensor is relatively small, like they usually have been made in smartphones. However, there have been cameras with sensors several times larger than those found in smartphones, and cost many times that of even the best phones. The advantages that I know of are pretty interesting. larger sensors can deliver higher dynamic range, and less noise in lowlight. Larger sensors can also produce smaller depth of fie...

Weather changes that could signal something worse than Climate change?!

By this point, we are probably all aware of climate change. However, I’ve been wondering, what if weather conditions such as temperature or pressure for example, were mapped onto a graph and the corresponding depiction were a fractal? You know, like the most major changes could have slightly smaller changes right before and after, and each of those slighty smaller changes would themselves be surrounded by the third-largest changes (which could of course be even smaller), and so on? What would that indicate?! Would that finally make many people think of the simulation hypothesis as true?! I mean, we have found fractal-like patterns in nature, and if those kinds of patterns could exist in the form of weather and/or climate, then that would be strong evidence, a strong indicator, that there’s something more powerful organizer that we don’t even realize! All climate deniers and climate accepters might then turn their way towards the greater force.

What the universes mean

The multiverse; but there’s a problem the way it seems. Something seems off about this kind of theory. Initially, I thought that the multiverse was a great theory. But I think that what many, maybe even everyone, doesn’t realize, is that the effects of just about everything and anything that happens in our own universe, effects EVERYTHING; that is, it also has effects on other universes; one example is gravity. Even though the effects might be infinitesimally small in another universe, I don’t see how it would be possible, given our current understanding, to impose limits that would probably have to be infinitely strong to not allow for the forces and effects of one universe, or in this case, our universe, to not overlap (in a sense) into many other universes. Using this logic, I think that all universes actually are most likely to belong to one universe, since no universe can interact totally independently of one another. Let me give an analogy: There are various planets in the ...

I don't like to commit to any one ideology by the way. It's like this, you see: Just like I like to have my coffee mixed with sugar, water, and maybe some other stuff, I wouldn’t like to solely have capitalism or communism at once. Instead, I’d like to pour some capitalism into a cup, sprinkle in some socialism, and maybe even mix in some communism. But I don’t want one or the other having total control over the world in which we live. The same goes for conservatism and liberalism. Yeah...but eventually it won’t lead to anything significant.

An excerpt from one of my dreams: "virtual map shown colors emanating from various places nearby, showing what emotions people were giving off, with cool colors indicating negative emotions and warm colors indicating positive emotions. This could perhaps be used in the future, to indicate the virtual colors of various world regions, to give a sense, via color shown on the map, to indicate which areas would be likely to make you feel negative, or positive. You can then learn to avoid, or instead benefit from specific world regions”

My opinion has been that anger, madness, rage, but also other feelings at the other end of the spectrum such as happiness, pleasure, etc. aren’t necessarily necessary. I wish that we could all get along without needing to resort to any feelings, to have a kind of emotional balance or equilibrium. Experiencing one end of the spectrum makes us long for emotion, and that’s what the problem is. But emotions can make us lose energy, and make us hungry for more.

You can never, yes never, get rid of negatives while introducing the positive, and the opposite, being that you can never introduce negatives without introducing positives. That is mainly true for many things, I think. The best you can do, or the closest that you can come to having everything become positive like magic is to change yourself.

My memory has been pretty bad in recent years. Supposedly, bad memory is an indicator of higher intelligence. Or not, maybe it’s just that everyone’s brain is relatively messed up because they’ve not gone through enough experience as me, for example, going through extreme mental pain. Maybe there is, however, some sign of a higher intelligence, perhaps having to do with memory. I think people would die if they realized this, however. If people were to go through what I’ve been going through, they’d probably start dieing. These years, we go through seasons, and each one of them brings us difficult times. We can’t seem to escape all that is wrong.

I might rise again, as a much different person, having realized so much about life, having gained by myself a better understanding of the way in which the world works. It's unfortunate that this is so, and I've come to the conclusion that the world, overall, isn’t good to your existence and your being, but I have embraced the fact and hopefully I can use the knowledge to my advantage somehow. I’m not dieing because of my problems. I’m essentially only going through an illusion. I’m not here in this world to die after all.
Why dieing is not a solution to your problem(s)
- Get link

- Other Apps
Dieing might seem to some as a way of letting go of all problems. However, I don’t think that’s how the world works. For example, say that someone’s got a grudge against you; if that’s the case, then they might have an advantage over you once you’re dead; not only that, but those who have done you wrongs might never see justice. Now, if you kept living, then you might be seeing justice being given to those who have done you wrongly. Sometimes it might take a day, other times a few months, or maybe even a lifetime. But don’t ever lose hope when it comes to solving your problems. Yes, hope might be lost in some way, but it’s like this: it’s like falling into a coma; in that case, you don’t lose all hope of life, but merely can have the illusion of being dead, and it’s in that way that life can work too; you might be convinced that you have been killed by your problems, but after being tortured, you might realize that pain is essential and you actually might still have hope.

There was once a time, when I fantasized about a world that I was convinced was real, in which people were superior to animals. However, that concept’s merely an illusion. For every great thing that comes about in a human’s life, there are great setbacks and upsetting despairities which animals don’t ever experience. For every person that lives life by laughing happily, there’s something going on inside the mind which simply can’t be expressed, and cannot be understood by any person on Earth. Why must it be so, that bad luck always precede after I feel it coming, even though it’s not in any way possible to predict it? How do I ever come to a good state?! Why is it that people have been so torturous to animals and to one another?! why the burning, stabbing, shooting, hanging, etc.?

Looks like an extremely wet October so far, including areas such as the United States (and I can personally relate to that), as well as Spain and Portugal (where Hurricane Leslie came onshore), as well as Oman and some surrounding nations from a cyclone, India from a cyclone, Bangladesh from rain, France from immense rain, while in much or most of Northern Europe, well above average temperatures have been residing. In Australia, severe weather recently occured about two days ago, and an extra tropical system is quickly making way towards Western Europe, though it might dissipate quickly. It’s a very interesting coincidence that major flooding has occured in various world areas all at nearly the same time, very recently. Africa and Asia have also had major flooding recently, but not quite as recently as the previous world areas listed. Major storms are likely in South America at the time of this writing.

I think that the winter of 2018 will start off slightly colder than average, then some time in mid or late winter it get well above average temperature-wise, at least for some time. I think that then early spring to be much warmer than average. Storms will probably be frequent in the midwest over late fall/early winter, but then right around late January is when it might start to warm up at least for ten days, and that’s about the time (if not earlier than) the start of the major storm season. Once spring begins, there will likely be major rises and dips of temperature throughout much of spring. Then, during the summer, there will be major heatwaves, although that’s not too uncommon. The first day of December I think will bring very dreary, wet weather and dark clouds throughout the day, followed by a sunny, but bitterly cold day.

Atheists, at least many of them, are nicer people than religious folks. Religious people have the tendency to become mean very easily, although there are also people who are; let's put it this way: it can be anyone's guess as to who they are, they aren't atheists nor theists, and they are extremely frightening to me. However, what I was going to write, religious people seem to me in the past to have acted uncontrollably, at least when it has to do with emotions. Back in the day, I would feel like having an emotional breakdown, but that's not what it was, although I had this mental discomfort which I was never able to explain, and I would feel like breaking and throwing stuff. Emotions are what cause pain, more than the physical stimuli themselves. I can't come to terms with how things are the way they are. I prefer being a rational rather than emotional person, because emotions can cause so much misery. And misery is a negative aspect, because it essentially can rui...

Overall, the build of the camera is great, and I hope that I can use up all of its potential. It’s capable of great lowlight capability, and the results compared to that of the Sony A7 II (full frame priced at about $1,350) are so identical that when comparing test results from Dpreview’s test scene comparison, I didn’t notice any difference! That, and the fact that the sensor has better resolving power (it has X-Trans sensor) in a smaller design is a major reason what makes it worth the price.

There have been many interesting events to happen in history, but something relatively recently has really been interesting. On May 31st of 2013, an unusual weather phenomenon happened.

It was the El Reno storm; the largest rotating vortex ever recorded at surface level. The entire mesocyclone dropped to the surface, and it was the equivalent of an enormous tornado, one that was measured to be about 2.6 miles wide, with at least four satellite vortices, each of which had winds equivalent to the force of about an F5 tornado. The main vortex moved at over 50mph, and the storm itself produced at least 5 F5 tornadoes. Since then? At least five years has passed, and there has been relative silence in the United States regarding extreme weather. So could it be that the largest tornado ever recorded somehow caused a prolo...
