CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Gotta sign off now but I'll drop you a follow request. Perhaps we'll meet on the Post-Apocalypse Reconstruction Committee.

Oh yes. In fact I read a bit about the history of absolute zero when this conversation started. It's fascinating to see how they estimated where the bottom of the scale was, and how they then refined that number over the centuries.

Thanks. I see. And now I have found Reddit posts referring to the problem. It looks like it's an unavoidable feature of the Fedi architecture, so I will have to learn a new way of conversing.

By the way, I'm a fan of Project Gutenberg, having contributed as an editor as well as read their books. However, this isn't the first time that I've seen them make a credulous post on Mastodon. I suppose it follows from their principle of staying true to the source even when it's wrong.

First time it's happened to me. I shall have to be more circumspect. This is how wars start.

@unusnemo @gutenberg_org @davecykl
No, I can't see the rest of the thread. It sounds like we are on the same page then. I withdraw my attempt to correct you.

Your link says nothing about Lord Kelvin falling into a river.
