QUOTE(Adella @ Sep 30 2021, 10:58 AM)  Yes I was thinking that also…Follows Lamda If we recall our Physics lessons where for some reason symbols for properties are given Greek letters….Physicists like to be confusing to regular folk.
So….Without looking it up….How much can I remember?….and what do we use the letters to mean? This will be fun….and I will probably get some wrong, but here goes nothing!
A Alpha - I think it a Helium atom nucleus emitted as radiation (or wolf pack leader) B Beta - A free electron emitted as radiation..(or a non aggressive male Lol) K Kappa - Dunno never saw it used, but I know if it..maybe its our ‘K’ Delta - A triangle symbol indicating a rate of change of some variable…and Brainwaves Epsilon - Dunno Fi - Sketchy on this one. Is it like an O with a vertical line through it? G - Gamma - easy. Ionising Ultra short wavelength electromagnetic radiation…Hulk juice Lol H - No idea I - No idea J - No idea K - Could be Kappa from ‘C’ above L - Lamda - Used to denote Wavelength (also the oxygen sensor in a car exhaust System) M - Mu - Dunno what its used for…The symbol of it could be the one used for ‘Micro’ N - Nu - Dunno never seen it used, I’m only aware of it O - Omega. Symbol for Ohms of electrical Resistance and symbolises “The end” P - Pi - The Japanese arch symbol meaning the number 3 1/7 Q - Dunno..Some mega being in Star Trek (John DeLancie) Lol R - Dunno S - Sigma the backwards capital E shape…something to do with Statistics? T - Theta the angle between two lines where they meet…and A Brainwave U - Upsilon Dunno never seen it expressed…Wasn’t he a Timelord from old Galifrey V- Dunno W - Dunno X - Dunno Y - Dunno…..Could be Yotta which is a number of 10e24 Our Sun outputs 6 Yotta Watts iirc Z - Dunno…..Could be Zetta which is a number of 10e21
How did I do? I guess no point in me applying for Mensa then…..<chuckles> . Still don’t know why Saki said Moo tho’!!!!

That’s the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. It’s actually pretty handy for any communication over phones that you are having to spell out stuff. I use it all the time at my job.

I recall an unhelpful version that had A as in Aisle C as in Czar E as in Eight among others. I can't find the whole alphabet but they did manage it, and without using Isle and Tsar.

QUOTE(Sakiri @ Oct 2 2021, 09:06 AM)  Hey bird. Any ideas on what kind of flowers I should send my friends husband? Doctors said no chance of recovery  I’d say hold off and get white lilies when he passes. Thats bad advice, don’t take it. This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: Oct 2 2021, 03:11 PM

QUOTE(Sakiri @ Oct 2 2021, 09:39 AM)  I was thinking of holding off til she passes yeah. Not sure. Don't know what they'll do as I don't know if she's on life support.
If she’s not on life support, they will more than likely just make her comfortable until she just slips away. Sorry Saki.
