There are no others, here.
Indeed. But does anyone know where nospam and Lewis are? Both
disappeared a bit abruptly.
Between the constant trolls and the people preferring those trolls to dominate the group through lack of correction/truth, I doubt either one
of them sees much of a benefit in hanging around. If this place is to
become just another crappy advocacy group where trolls have free reign,
there isn't much good information to be had here.
30,000 nt is tiny compared to 4,000,000 nt for E. coli or 3,200,000,000 nt for human. And of course the human genome is double-stranded and diploid so every call has 12.8G nt - excluding red blood cells which are anuclear. 30k is basically a rounding error.
Given you're the one who doesn't even understand his own quotes. It's clear who's the troll.

OK. Then let's take that as prima facie evidence that you claim to have a doctorate in Physics, which means you're familiar with Newton, right?
Even Newton said a priori that its action at a distance was preposterous,
but it was the best he could propose until Einstein enlightened all of us.
What did Einstein postulate is the true source of what we call gravity?

Alan Baker, who professes to own a BMW, doesn't even know what the term "bimmer" means - and worse - since it was a racing term derived after "beemer" was - he's completely ignorant of what EVERYONE else long knew.
Everyone makes fun of the noobs who don't know these things.

The fact that you don't even understand the difference between existing,

An example is an iPhone exists - but it's not a force.
The fact you can't separate existing from being a force tells me everything
I need to know about you - you're just another piece of Apple trolling excrement who lies about everything - as you don't know physics at all.
The fact remains, Einstein's hypothesis is that gravity is not a force. Everyone knows this.
Well, everyone but you Apple trolls knows this.
As it's one of the most basic tenets of all physics.
Even I know it.
And I know nothing about physics other than what I learned in school.
My point is you Apple trolls don't know anything. About anything.
Least of all about Apple products.
All you Apple trolls (Lewis, Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Chris, Haemactylus, Joerg Lorenz, JF Mezei et. al) merely parrot Apple marketing.
Which you then defend to the death, no matter what.
Because your whole life you've been told you are stupid and yet Apple tells you that you're a genius for waiting outside their store in long lines.
And you believe it.
Because Apple feeds your ego.
That's why you hate anyone who posts the truth about Apple products here.

I'm of German descent and I've always known what a bimmer & beemer are, badgolferman - but - I've owned both bimmers and beemers also.
If I own something, I then learn what I need to learn to know everything I want to know about it. In the case of the beemer, my 525i happens to have a CCV valve, which happens to clog up, which happens to make it fail
California emissions - which means - I have to learn how to replace it.

What's interesting is the Apple trolls like Hemidactylus, who know nothing about anything, instantly assume that terms are for "pseudointellectuals".
Notice that normal people (like badgolferman) simply ask why all BMW aficionados use these specific terms, while the hoi polloi don't know them.
Yet these Apple trolls, who, of course, don't know BMW terms & yet they
claim to own BMWs, call anyone who knows anything, a "pseudointellectual".
Since badgolferman rides a Gold Wing (which Honda doesn't usually refer to
as a "Goldwing" but many people do), he knows the terms "ride" & "drive".
If someone walks up to him saying "I know everything about Goldwings
because I drive one myself", badgolferman would know he is a poser.
This is relevant because all th Apple trolls are posers.
They're all on Mount Stupid to the left of the 1st Dunning-Kruger quadrile.
Which is why it was important to destroy the poser who claimed to be a physicist and yet he didn't even realize gravity is not a force.
Likewise with Alan Baker who claims to "teach racing" and yet Alan has no idea whatsoever of what a catenary is - which is a common term for curves.

I have two purposes on this Apple newsgroup, one of which is to learn about and disseminate information about the Apple product line & Apple strategy.
The other is to show in the public record for all to see what kind of
rather strangely unusual people you Apple trolls are. You're not normal.
As just one example, what kind of moron stands in line outside *any* store just for the privilege of paying through the nose for substandard crap?
Only people like you Apple trolls do that, namely those like Lewis, Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Chris, Haemactylus, Joerg Lorenz, JF Mezei et. al) all of whom merely parrot Apple marketing in an echo chamber inside their brains.

I'll explain:
Arlen tried to make a meal out of the fact that I own a BMW (2012 135i M Sport Edition in Lemans Blue to be precise) and didn't know
that--according to him--one of those terms is use to refer to BMW
motorcycles and the other for BMW cars.
And from that he tried to claim that:
1. I couldn't possibly own one.
2. That I could possibly be a racing driver and road racing instructor.

If someone walks up to him saying "I know everything about Goldwings >>because I drive one myself", badgolferman would know he is a poser.
Speaking of Goldwings, when I first got mine I noticed on various
websites the spelling alternated between Goldwing, Gold Wing, and
GL1800. Of course GL1800 is the official model of the motorcycle, and
mine is a 2002 GL1800A which denotes one with ABS.
I asked the guy who sold it to me whether it was a Goldwing or Gold
Wing and he told me Goldwing. He referred me to the manual and the
trim pieces on the bike which say Goldwing. I have seen the Honda
website which says Gold Wing, but frankly I think that was designed or edited by someone who doesn't know the history of the motorcycle. I
don't really know, other than what the LCD display, manual and placard
on my bike say -- Goldwing.

Same with the CCV on my 525i which is merely a PCV but with a far more complex design such that BMW decided to call it, instead, a CCV.
It's horribly complicated.
And as a result, it *always* eats itself up in just a few years.
So *everyone* with that bimmer model has to replace it.
Like your Gold%20Wing/Gold-Wing/Goldwing/etc. air filter joke, it's as if
BMW started with a CCV and then built the entire engine around that one emissions component.
It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't fail emissions - but it often does.
So everyone who knows anything about that bimmer model is well acquainted with the CCV (among other horridly designed engine components).
If they claim to be knowledgeable in that model, and if they don't know
about the CCV, then it's clear that they're just posers playing games.
Like Alan Baker who never knew what a catenary was until I explained it to him in terms of sweeping around curves at constant speeds.
Alan Baker was so stupid, even after he looked it up - he thought it was about bridges - which proves yet again my point these Apple trolls are incredibly uneducated, and hence ignorant of everything - especially Apple products.
Even when told a catenary had to do with taking curves at speed, these
Apple trolls insisted a catenary has only to do with suspension bridges.
That's how stupid these Apple trolls truly are.
They read Wikipedia, which I'm sure mentions suspension bridges, and they don't have the education to flip the terms 90 degrees to sweeping out
curves at constant speed.

(2010-12ish) that was really cheap. Then after it hadnโt been bought
for a month it got cheaper and the listing started detailing some of
the issues. Hard pass. Iโve always been interested in an entry level
older BMW. There was another one that was kinda cool looking but I
was already in the process of dealing with my Civic getting
rear-ended and totaled and replacing it with an HR-V. I also had my
eye on an ILX around the same price range. Those were pretty much
fancier Civics. I rarely see them and they were discontinued.
For some reason my Youtube feed coughs up rando videos on oddball
cars. Recently it was a 1971 Pantera being driven and I was smitten.
Looks like the sort of car it would be too easy to die in but having
too much fun with the demise. Fโin beast.
Iโm happy with the HR-V as a small crossover with a higher stance
than my Civic had. Maybe Iโll keep looking at 1-series Bimmers
online. They seem expensive to maintain, but cheaper to get into than
a Mercedes or Porsche. 911s are a bit steep for me.
A tricked out 1-series would be sweet though Iโd be better off with
some Japanese platform hot rod. I seriously donโt get stance cars
with weird camber.
I am not a BMW fan, but only because I prefer more practical cars.
However I appreciate the BMW dedication to the driving experience nd
realize its popularity with people who like a more spirited drive.
My earlest recollection of BMWs was the BMW 2002 models of the 1970s.
Maybe someone can describe their experience with those models and
compare it to today's 1xx or 3xx models.

So I studied why gravity is so immensely powerful given Einstein said it wasn't a force at all but the earth expanding outward at 9.8m/s/s and
curving spacetime rushing inward at 11km/s - perfectly balancing out such that the earth *becomes* a sphere (almost symmetric in sphericity).

It's Apple's fundamentally basic marketing strategy to limit users' choice. By restricting users' choices, Apple ends up making *lots of money*.

As Jolly Roger clearly showed, all you Apple trolls are the same as nospam
in almost every way. Same as Lewis. Same as JF Mezei. You're all trolls.
It was clear to everyone that the only role nospam played was to make inane excuses for why the iPhone didn't have what every other phone already had.
According to nospam's "nobody wants it" & "nobody needs it" on everything that everyone else had except iPhone owners, apparently everyone wants 4G (not 5G); and everyone wants anemic RAM; and everyone wants substandard batteries; and everyone wants more zero-day exploits in history than any Android phone every had.
To you Apple trolls, Lewis, nospam, Jolly Roger, Haemactylus, Chris, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Joerg Lorenz, etc., nobody wants call recording.
And yet Apple added it recently. Fancy that. People wanted it after all.
Same with the laughably paltry RAM Apple chintzes out with on the iPhone. Nobody wants RAM according to all you Apple trolls. Nobody needs it.
Yet Apple was forced to add RAM to the iPhone 16 due to AI needs.
Fancy that. People did want modern RAM capacity.
Speaking of modern capacity, nospam claimed nobody wanted modern batteries. Nobody needed them. And yet, the EU told Apple to stop selling any new
iPhone 14 models because not a single iPhone prior to the iPhone 15 passes the EU's lifetime tests.
Fancy that.
Every one of you Apple trolls says nobody wants modern functionality in an iPhone, and yet, the EU told Apple if they don't finally provide modern functionality, Apple would have to stop selling all new iPhones in Europe.
Finally, Apple added these things that you Apple trolls claim nobody wants. Most Apple had to be forced to add (the RAM they did on their own though).

It's interesting you lied because no physicist is unaware of Einstein's equivalency principle which hypothesizes about the earth's acceleration.
And every real physicist is well aware of electromagnetic repulsion.

Watch this video since you're NOT a physicist - this guy *is* a physicist:

It covers the earth moving up.
Then watch this from the same physicist. It covers spacetime moving down.
*The River Model of General Relativity*
<https://youtu.be/hFlzQvAyH7g>
You can pick *any* reference you want but those with physics degrees know what Einstein's equivalency principle means.
Essentially the earth is round (and all planets are round) simply because
the electrostatic outward repulsion exactly equals the inward rushing 4D spacetime attraction to massenergy - which is what determines sphericity.
Hint: I'm not stupid. Most people are stupid. You are not a physicist.

Similarly, that Porsche is two syllables, not one.
It's likely mostly Americans who can't pronounce it properly. They have enough trouble with proper English, let alone any other language.ย :-p

Bimmer is the slang for BMW's automobiles;
Beemer is the slang for BMW's motorcycles.

Which was my point that Alan G. Baker claimed to own a bimmer and to teach racing and yet he doesn't know the very first thing about either topic.

Yup. I've seen similar 'gotcha' attempts by gun nutz over terminology too.

For motorsports, I've watched at least hundreds of races, and during all those decades, I've never heard any NASCAR/Indy/F1/etc race announcers

I've studied you Apple trolls; but I study you the most, Jolly Roger.
*I learn a lot about you from what you write*, Jolly Roger.
From what you and the other Apple trolls write, I've concluded that
nary a single one of you Apple trolls owns a college degree - which is important.
The fact you can't even earn your GED, Jolly Roger, shows that none of
you Apple trolls owns the mental capabilities to comprehend complex situations.
Hence, you fall for every trick in the book Apple feeds you to
believe.
Your whole life you've been told you are stupid - but not by Apple.
Apple tells you that your decision to wait outside in long lines is
smart.
You *love* Apple for that reason.
Why do you think Alan Browne loves those Apple white papers so much,
JR? Because they affirm that he chose the "superior product".
Why do all of you Apple trolls hate people who tell the truth about
Apple? HINT: Same reason all religious zealots hate someone stating
the truth.
Part of the reason you're an Apple troll, Jolly Roger, is that you
don't own the mental abilities to comprehend Apple manipulates you
perfectly.

...but pragmatically, the reason why catenary doesn't apply to laeral non-gravitational based forces is because it is difficult for them to be sufficiently homogeneous: this theoretical doesn'tpragmatically occur in reality.
Case in point, if this factor really was as significant as you're trying

Uneducated people readily & strongly believe that gravity is a force.
Right?
But wait... Einstein hypothesized that it's not a force.
And even Newton thought that the action at a distance was preposterous.
Doesn't make any difference to its sphericity.
I live in mountainous boonies above the Silicon Valley & Monterey Bay
where, since I'm an octogenarian, I seem to fall down a lot lately.
So I studied why gravity is so immensely powerful given Einstein said it wasn't a force at all but the earth expanding outward at 9.8m/s/s and
curving spacetime rushing inward at 11km/s - perfectly balancing out such that the earth *becomes* a sphere (almost symmetric in sphericity).
My point is that the Apple trolls like Jolly Roger, nospam, Lewis, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Joerg Lorenz, Chris, Hemidactylus, et al., are Apple trolls *because* they don't have the intelligence or education to know the difference between what Apple marketing (cleverly) feeds them - and truth.I claim to teach road racing... ...because I do, in fact, teach road racing.
They just don't have the intelligence but that alone isn't what makes these Apple trolls the deniers of facts that they are (as they probably all think gravity is a force for example - simply because they are ignorant people).
Just as Alan Baker claims to know bimmers but he doesn't know the basics,
and just as he claims to teach racing but he knows nothing about curves, these uneducated low-IQ Apple trolls all are to the left of the 1st DK quartile.

The fact remains that you ridiculed the use of "vehicle" in immunology, and you claimed that a RNA viral genome of the SARS-COV-2 size was smaller in comparison to other viruses. Both are preposterous statements by you.
I don't care that you make absurd assessments, Chris. The fact you do that simply proves me right when I assess all you Apple trolls as uneducated.

I've always wondered if you Apple trolls even *read* your own cites, Chris.
That paper says *exactly* what I have been saying all along, and which you had said was wrong - and yet - that paper shows *exactly* what I said.
This is a direct quote about RNA viral genomes from that very paper, Chris.
"viruses exhibit a wide diversity of genome sizes. RNA viruses
possess genomes that are universally small, ranging from 1,682
nucleotides (nt) (hepatitis delta virus [Deltavirus]) to 31,526
nt (murine hepatitis virus [Coronaviridae])."
Clue by four: 30K subunits is big for an RNA viral particle, Chris.
Very big.
The fact you don't understand the paper is consistent with all the Apple trolls never understanding anything slightly complex - you prove me right.

2012 135i M Sport.

...and a failure of the o-rings on the oil filter housing...

Moral of the story:
If your 335i is using the same engine design, be very aware of you start
to smell any oil burning.

I also had my eye on an ILX around the same price range. Those were pretty much fancier Civics. I rarely see them and they were discontinued.
For some reason my Youtube feed coughs up rando videos on oddball cars. Recently it was a 1971 Pantera being driven and I was smitten. Looks like
the sort of car it would be too easy to die in but having too much fun with the demise. Fโin beast.
Iโm happy with the HR-V as a small crossover with a higher stance than my Civic had. Maybe Iโll keep looking at 1-series Bimmers online. They seem expensive to maintain, but cheaper to get into than a Mercedes or Porsche. 911s are a bit steep for me.It's a classic thing with faddests of all types.
A tricked out 1-series would be sweet though Iโd be better off with some Japanese platform hot rod. I seriously donโt get stance cars with weird camber.

I once owned a 525i on which I had to replace almost everything because BMW only knows how to make drive trains - BMW has no idea how systems work together.
An example is the DISA valve is an abomination, as is the CCV and even the ABS control module has those angel hairs which break in the goop they're intertwined with.
The seat cables cause seat twist. Even something as simple as the
cupholders break. The Dorman window regulators have too small of a nylon roller so the cable falls off. And don't even get me started on the Behr plastic overly complex expansion tanks.
The water pump fails prematurely (and requires two special tools, including
a very thin very long 32mm open-end wrench to access), while the trunk loom constantly frays causing shorts all over the place due to bare wires touching.
Everyone had the BMW software (much of which was in German) including but
not limited to dis, easydis, gt1, progman, inpa, and ncs dummies & expert.
Much as I've studied the strange nature of you Apple trolls, I've always wondered why BMW engineers can't make two systems work together other than the drive train and suspension. Those do work fantastically together.
Nothing else does though... (at least not on the 525i which is the only bimmer that I know about - but don't get me started on the beemers).

Given all you Apple trolls are worthless pieces of shit who have never in your entire lives done anything worthwhile for other fellow human beings
it's not surprising that you don't understand even what a CCV is.
Alan Baker, who claims to own bimmers, doesn't know what a CCV is.
He has no idea what a DISA valve is either.
He knows nothing of INPA nor EDIABAS. He can't even spell them.

Notice how embarrassed these ignorant Apple trolls are that someone
actually knows something about cars (in this case, bimmers) that they themselves can't possibly know (because they lack a normal IQ).
Alan Baker, who professes to *race* cars doesn't even know what a catenary is, when it's one of the most critically important terms in physics when it comes to *understanding* curved shapes and how they sweep over distance).
Alan Baker, who professes to own a BMW, doesn't even know what the term "bimmer" means - and worse - since it was a racing term derived after "beemer" was - he's completely ignorant of what EVERYONE else long knew.
