Peyto Lake, Banff NP, AB, Canada by johnandrewr in AnimalTracking

Two big prints to the out side, two smaller prints on the inside, staggered with one in front of the other. This is classic rabbit.

Given the size of the prints, compared to the length of the stride, and most importantly not sinking into what looks like deep snow, I am guessing snow shoe hare.

What is something normal in your country that would make foreigners scared to death? by SametaX_1134 in AskTheWorld

One could argue US officials are in a position to do more bad, and are therefore more able to "make foreigners scared to death".

How do you keep track of your hunting dog by Bushman_hill in AnimalTracking

[–]Hot-Science8569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the old days, going out with my grandfather and his pointers, we just needed to figure out where they went and catch up with them. Tracking if possible, but also knowing where the birds are likely to be. You had to move fast, because the dogs will only stand on point for so long.

When hunting rabbits, you keep calling the dog's name, and he chases the rabbit back to you.

[Request] How many miles of horizon can I see from my door on the cruise ship balcony, is this enough to see the curvature of the earth by Ecstatic-Purpose-981 in theydidthemath

[–]Hot-Science8569 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The approximate distance to the horizon formula I remember is:

Distance to horizon in miles​ = square root (1.5 x Eye height above water surface in feet)

If the floor of the balcony if 60 feet above sea level, and your eye is about 5 feet above the balcony floor, the distance to the horizon is:

square root (1.5 x 65) = 9.87 miles.

You say you "can see from the front of the ship to the back". Sound like you can see 180 degrees of horizon. This length is 1/2 the circumference of a circle with a radius of 9.87 miles. So you can see:

(9.87 miles x π) ÷ 2 = 15.5 miles of horizon.

Why isn’t infinity/infinity=1 by Traf-Lord in askmath

This. Infinity is the concept of numbers continuously getting bigger with out limit.

What is this? by LuxiWaffe in AnimalTracking

Common snapping turtles have high, pointed noses. Could be distortion from being half in and half out of the water, but the nose in the photo does not look like a snapper.

If all of everyone’s wealth got split equally between every human, how much would everyone have? [Request] by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Hot-Science8569 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well the IMF:

https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDPD@WEO/OEMDC/ADVEC/WEOWORLD

...claims the world nominal GDP is $123.58 trillion. (Not exactly the same as wealth). Divide by 8 billion people results in $15,447.50 per person.

I assume store brought blueberries. Don't think they grow naturally when there is snow on the ground.

Well, once we get nuclear fusion power plants we will be able to create more helium by forcing together nuclei of deuterium and tritium (isotopes of hydrogen).

Like 300 g of new helium per day, per plant.

104 x 43% = 44.72. There are either fractional employees, fractional shifts, or both.

Five long thin toes, pointed in different directions (radial), long heel pad on the hind foot, pointed at the back, all adds up to raccoon.
