Uneducated people readily & strongly believe that gravity is a force.
Right?
But wait... Einstein hypothesized that it's not a force.

I live in mountainous boonies above the Silicon Valley & Monterey Bay

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.
There are no others, here.

As a research physicist by training, profession and inclination I needed to read no further. I now know that I can safely disregard anything you write. But I'm in awe of your inventive abilities.

For those who never took a marketing class in college, Apple strategically removes functionality from its devices so that people have to buy it back.

Most uneducated people actually believe gravity is a force, so I know that you're like all the Apple trolls - you have no college education at all.
Certainly not in physics.
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.
Except you.
Since you lied about being a physicist, please click on this link:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=why+gravity+is+not+a+force>
Pick *any* reference that shows that the earth is actually moving up.
*Why General Relativity (and Newton's Laws) tell us The Sky is Falling Up*
<https://youtu.be/GuLL_upE4zk>
But as a nonagenarian I do understand about falling down! So far I have
been lucky and bounced. Walk carefully and avoid turning round on the spot.
Watch this video since you're NOT a physicist - this guy *is* a physicist:
*The TRUE Cause of Gravity in General Relativity*
<https://youtu.be/PjT85AxTmI0>
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.

Keble. But that is really only significant as an undergraduate, and then
only from a tutorial point of view. Lectures, practical work were
university matters. Post graduate work was pretty much independent of college, far more on your supervisor.

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.
What is hilarious about that statement is it shows
No, what is hilarious is your inability to see that no one cares about
what YOU think they should consider an issue, and therefore can't see
the humor in the joke. Of course, that was predictable.

Just like what matters to the USA election is to *understand* why people voted the way they did, what matters for this Apple newsgroup is why the rather strange Apple trolls do what it is that they do.
Why do the Trumpian Apple trolls such as Lewis, nospam, Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Haemactylus, Chris, Joerg Lorenz, et.al) incessantly troll Apple ng's by denying all facts about Apple they simply don't like?
It turns out that their *ego* is tied up in their perception of Apple products, where they "feel" emotionally they belong to an elite clique.

Only one of the Apple trolls knew anything about Apple products, and nospam isn't posting anymore. David Empson knew a lot but he doesn't post either.
All the Apple trolls (such as Lewis, Jolly Roger, Alan Baker, Alan Browne, Haemactylus, Chris, Joerg Lorenz, JF Mezei et. al) parrot Apple marketing.

I corrected you in that the "RNA ball" is not huge. Viruses have tiny genomes. RNA viruses are smaller than DNA viruses, which are smaller
than bacterial genomes, which are smaller than eukaryotic (like plants
and mammals) genomes.
Even this paper on viruses says so. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4093846/
Given you claimed a doctorate in the medical sciences, you could never have >> earned that degree without at least one course in genetics,
You don't understand UK PhDs. We don't sit classes or courses. It's all
pure research. And just because someone may have a PhD in, say,
population health (a medical science) doesn't mean you know about
molecular biology, genetics or immunology.
However, I did do genetics as part of my UG.
and yet, your
response tells me instantly that you know nothing about genetics, Chris.
Why haven't you taken even a single basic course in genetics, Chris?
I know the answer - but I want *YOU* to answer that question for us, Chris. >>
It's what you write, Chris - that informs me most about your "education".
Your photos of books tell us all about the reality of your "degrees".

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.

Simply because you don't even know what everyone else knows about them.
Just as Alan Baker knows nothing about racing or owning & driving BMWs.
For the same reason as you - he doesn't know the first thing about them.

Every response from these Apple zealot trolls is that of a child, which, let's be clear - is a key component of *why* their ego is tied up in Apple products - and why they therefore defend Apple products to the death.
Why do you think Alan Browne loves to quote Apple white papers?
Why did nospam always claim nobody wanted anything Apple didn't have?
Why does Jolly Roger repeatedly defend even Apple's illegal actions?
All you zealot Apple trolls have been told your entire life you're stupid. But Apple loves you.
Apple tells you that you're a genius for standing in long lines waiting for the Apple Store doors to open so that you can affirm your genius with cash.
Afterward, Apple laughs at you Apple zealot trolls all the way to the bank.

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. F’in beast.
I’m happy with the HR-V as a small crossover with a higher stance than my Civic had. Maybe I’ll 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 I’d be better off with some Japanese platform hot rod. I seriously don’t get stance cars with weird camber.

I've always been interested in an entry level older BMW.
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

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.

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?

The fact that you don't even understand the difference between existing,
and being a force shows that you are merely an imposter who knows nothing.
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 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.

Heh, I guess I'm about done with reading any more of your nonsense. All you're interested in is causing chaos. Time to put the filters back to work. Anything you post, and all subthreads will be blocked. That
should make the group usable again.
Good Bye, and hopefully more people will follow.

Yep. It's up front at the top above the alternator. I'll keep an eye on

(2010-12ish) that was really cheap. Then after it hadn’t been bought
for a month it got cheaper and the listing started detailing some of
the issues. Hard pass. I’ve 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. F’in beast.
I’m happy with the HR-V as a small crossover with a higher stance
than my Civic had. Maybe I’ll 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 I’d be better off with
some Japanese platform hot rod. I seriously don’t 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.
