Talk:3247: Particle Census

The 'standard' and '2x' sized images had unexpected sizes, so an imagesize parameter has been added to render the image consistently with other comics on this website. See the web archive for more details. --TheusafBOT (talk) 18:54, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

GRAMMATICAL ERROR! Should there be a category for grammar mistakes (Example 1662: Jack and Jill, where there was a grammar mistake.)? YZ100 22:20, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Indeterminite? Location (singular)? 197.185.221.9 04:20, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

'Indeterminite' isn't a grammatical error - it's a spilling error. 82.13.184.33 08:47, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

In most civilized countries the census process is historically used to plan the sizing of public infrastructures (schools, hospitals, water and electricity infrastructures, waste disposal facilities, used water treatment, and all that sort of seemingly unimportant things). It does not surprise me that in the US it is primarily used as a political instrument, however. 2001:861:3F07:A020:CBE1:3BDB:88F9:709A 23:28, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

"sizing of public infrastructures (schools, hospitals, water and electricity infrastructures, waste disposal facilities, used water treatment, and all that sort of seemingly unimportant things). […] primarily used as a political instrument" – i agree with the sentiment (not just for the US) but/and that is pretty much a definition of what politics is (should be) by a list of examples. 2A00:20:6346:8265:F4E8:8C7:66E:1D5 08:21, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

"if physicists want to do this, it's their own decision." Not if the universe is deterministic. 82.13.184.33

Can someone find all the other comics where quantum principles are mentioned? I am fairly sure the Foxtrot one during Guest Week was one of those. SomebodyElse (talk) 11:06, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
