Happy 15th Birthday, OriginalTrilogy•com 😃

I think Bossk summed it well with his 1st post in this thread - back on the OT•com’s 1st anniversary…

‘Thanks for creating it and putting up with all our crap, Jay! You da man!’

 

A few events in history for March 10th down the years…

Ah, nice one - thanks for the explanation mate 😃

How does one seek a royal prerogative of mercy? Asking for a friend.

a substantial donation to the political party in power at the time (or family member of high ranking politician) usually does it mate 😉

I thought Elizabeth was above that! Maybe the problem is she is merely a figurehead? If so, maybe you all should consider giving her more power.

Liz may be - though she is just a figure head in reality.

Strangely enough I myself may be able to help your ‘friend’ - for I am a Nigerian Prince in exile am a cousin of a high ranking politician - whose party are currently in power. Just send £400,000 via paypal (mark it a gift 😉) and say no more…

I just got to googling whether Meghan Markle might ever become your queen. No definite answer but sounds plausible. If all goes well with the lotteries tonight or tomorrow night, the money will be headed your way. Let’s not tell Jay about this.


 

Meghan Markle won’t become a Princess (and therefore unlikely to become a Queen) - like the late Lady Diana Spencer was never officially Princess Diana - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42150762.

It’s all weird the whole Royal thing - though there’s likely some 1000 year old precedent somewhere in which it could happen - or a King Ralph style situation 😃

Or maybe not?

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/4953/position-of-question-mark-when-sentence-doesnt-end-with-question

The sentence in the original question ends with a subordinate clause that does not, by itself, ask a question (“within which we can leverage our existing knowledge”). This is modifying a noun phrase that is part of the question (“set of simple computational rules”). Therefore, this subordinate clause is part of the original question, and should end with a question mark.

Putting all of this together, I would punctuate the sentence like this:

“The question nagging me is, To what extent can we encapsulate all what we observe in nature into a set of simple computational rules, within which we can leverage our existing knowledge?”

No, mate.
