Which forums would be candidates for a merge?

I'd suggest trawling the lower reaches of the web until we find a compatible duplicate? somewhere out in the depths of cyberspace there is another Rationalia facing similar issues in a decline of membership. Maybe not the same precisely but we could use Babelfish if the forum is Romanian or Welsh? :coffee:

About me: When ever I behave as a man I am called sexist, It seems being a male is now illegal and nobody sent me the memo. Good job as I would have told them to fuck off.

It's not the size of the forum, it's how you use it...

Maybe by consuming ten or twenty small forums would make Rationalia a force to be reckoned with? :coffee:

Not really. Distributed parallel processing achieves optimal results with disparate and distinct systems. Of course, communication between these parallel systems is a bit of a problem. I'm not aware of a lossless transfer system that has been achieved to date. The best I know of is a recursive function, but it is slow and has a SnR asymptote of 0. Which does make the entire idea impractical even in theory.

What were we talking about? Right, people. Human resourcing for the purposes of something.

That was the same back in the eighties but is a reflection on human imagination rather than real reality.

I think the 'war' is going pretty bad for the realists since the best people can only do an asymptotic fractal.

In case anyone else thought of 'asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with hyperbolic trapped sets', it's still got a painted turtle at the bottom.

Think Planck length x10n.

The merging involves everybody getting naked, and lots of baby oil, right?
