What irritates you about other Gransnetters?

A poster states their problem situation and asks for advice. They may get some advice but they may also get a number of posts from (annoying) Gransnetters who just ramble on about their own lives in a completely unhelpful way.

A cat is either dead or alive,not both, a moment occurs when it passes from one state to the other.
We cannot know ,in isolation, when that moment occurs.
Therefore quantum physics is an unknown quantity, or I am totally thick, I think I know the answer to the conundrum.

Well done, Merlot.
Do you think other Gransnetters find us irritating???

Sounds like a conversation with my grandson.

I didn't google it, but I always have to stop and think about it, very slowly and very carefully, before I remember what it's all about. And then I'm still even though I kind of understand it

I think it means that you would not know if the cat was dead or alive until you opened the box, so that until the box was opened, the cat was (in a sense) both "dead and alive".
I think
My head hurts! ?

I googled it to, merlotgran, and I’m no wiser either!?

What died first, the printer or the cat?

But it might be...

it was my printer
but not my cat

A bit like:
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Of course, the tree could fall on Schrodinger's cat and kill it anyway.

I made a comment about hijacked threads and came back to see that there were lots of comments about printers and apologies about changing the subject. Just in case something thinks I meant that minor diversion, I didn’t. Just a case of coincidence. Just in case anyone thought...

Me neither.

And I still don’t bloody understand it!!

!

Hands up all of you who have been googling Schrodinger's cat this afternoon?

One learns to skip merrily over them, chew! ?

Like Oldwoman70 I too dislike the often dodgy links, sometimes accompanied with a post that just says "this is interesting". I'd rather that any links were supported by an opinion or opening to a discussion, but it feels, to me any rate, as though something's being slapped on the table with instructions to "read that".

Nothing bothers me that much really. It isn’t real life so honestly GN can be taken or left. I twitter away on it but could easily just as well not bother.

links to blogs ,

Maw and Greenfinch no need for anyone to feel upset it was obviously a misunderstanding.
I’m not upset either, but Shrodingers cat may be feeling a bit put out.?

Hypersensitivity can be irritating, making it all about you when it isn't.

Otherwise, having read this thread right through, there's not much I seem to find irritating about other gransnetters. The not much part of that sentence is important. Things on the not much shelf (figure of speech) are best kept to myself as probably being too pointed.

In general, I have found shrugs and hey hoes useful.

There are a lot of us about, Oldwoman .

I have to say it annoys me when people just post a link to a blog or whatever. I like to read their opinions in their words, not the opinion of someone else who they happen to agree with. Often someone will post several links and to be honest I don't bother reading them and I will leave that thread.

I think the politics threads in particular can get very, shall we say, cutting, because people have very strong views, I just wish there could just be calm debate.

I am another who has the super power of either closing a thread or whose posts are invisible

For all those who have upset on this thread, I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Please don't stop posting, there are lots of nice people on here.
