Physics 101 With Dianna Cowan

See my comment on YouTube:

Maybe talk to my daughter. She seems to think she's managing my estate or something. Tell her she is not, because I am not dead, yet. See Shit That Really Matters.

A recent e-mail exchange with my daughter went:

I wouldn’t send you any money. It’s from your parents’ pension.

This was a recent exchange I had with my mother:

There may have been, but I don't know how I can do it myself. As they were about to expire in 2012 I wrote an e-mail to you and dad and said you could ask. I forget the name of the web site host. But I recall a reply from Graeme saying that you wouldn't be able to do that unless I had paid for a backup service, which I had. 

I don't recall a convincing argument for anything on that blog. Did it include some text about hard surfaces and energy dissipation and why a flood in a forest doesn't do much damage compared to a flood in a city covered in concrete? Did it somehow relate this to boundary conditions and time-energy uncertainty and Heisenberg? I have several times looked for where I wrote that, but to no avail. You could try the Internet Archive Way back Machine, but my stuff is curiously hard to find on there because from Cambridge they seemed to have removed my page from the scope of the crawler so that most of the photographs and stuff are missing. I haven't been bothered to try finding anything else. I have a problem because I have no basic human rights. See https://ianangrant.blogspot.com/2020/07/e-commerce-or-icommerce.html

Hi Ian,

Before suffering a bout of gastroenteritis for 3 days I read/watched a number of your recent blogs until my device battery needed recharging.

While recovering i reflected on your ( brilliant) Wilderness Bolivia blog which amounted to a most  convincing argument for reversing the current human induced climate change trajectory. (Much better than most of the stuff you're recommending)

Is there no way that the early blogs could be recovered and perhaps added to?

Mum

Here is her reply:

By "narrative skills" I thought she meant writing, not reading! So, I told my daughter almost year not to fuck around with me otherwise she was going to end up in prison. Seems she decided she really wants to go to prison, so please, someone charge her with conspiring to pervert the course of Justice and put her and her fucking mother and my fucking brother and father in jail. Thanks in anticipation. Ian Grant.
