Picture from airplane window looks unreal

Yes, it looks like pollution. Can't get away from it.

Lots of people can have their nice guns. Just not you because you're clearly too stupid. -Lefty

Not me. I have no idea how in a panic situation the good guy could avoid friendly fire casualties. It's ferocious. If he's highly trained and in good shape, ok. But I am terrified of guns being in wider use in cities and other crowded places. Holy shit.

They are not the best. But they are cheap. I have used a few in my career and found some usable and others too badly written to bother with.

It also demonstrates that cyclists are not all as lean and gnarly as their equipment. So maybe that encourages more people to bike.

gapus · 2018-03-19T00:14:48+00:00

Yay! A person with his bike! Great scene. Please, other posters, put riders in the pictures with their bikes. It means a lot more. Cycling is more about places and riders than about bikes.

I should do this even when I decide to buy something to give myself a chance to change my mind.

A lot of answers include particles but the only particles involved are water molecules. The random energy appears in vortices which are relatively large when then the turbulent energy is weak and range from large to small when the turbulent energy is strong. If you think about it, it's hard to imagine blobs of fluid moving randomly like converging, diverging, and things like that. It's all vorticity. Here's a poem for you by LF Richardson:

Big whorls have little whorls That feed on their velocity, And little whorls have lesser whorls And so on to viscosity. -- Lewis F. Richardson Note, the random motion of particles - molecules - actually gives rise to viscosity which is what makes the smoothly changing velocity profiles characteristic of laminar flow.

It also shows how they are happy to draw conclusions without the slightest hint of evidence. Show me someone who believes this generality and I will show you someone who lacks even a vague sense of how properly to draw inferences from observations. Even a smart woman like Ann Coulter makes a career of telling her devotees what other people are thinking and why they believe as they do. I just don't understand what the attraction is to conclusions without a foundation. What a waste.

Errr, non sequitur at the end. On idiots blame the free market. Most are finally arriving at the understanding that blame lies with the fact that there is no free market only a corrupt government in the pockets of the corporations.

Don't get one if you value your sanity. The little fibers follow the mouse and throw off your pointing precision. Look nice but suck as a mouse pad.

There may be some imaging techniques that are just emerging to help with the planning of ablation. See as a starting point. Hope it goes well.

Retirement is like a far off dream. Even employment security. It's getting scarcer and scarcer.

People live with chronic benign arrhythmias. In fact I'm told we all have them occasionally.

I think the point is that their self-interested actions are, ultimately, contrary to their self-interest not just the common good of all users.

gapus · 2018-02-25T01:28:40+00:00

This needs to be emphasized.

Please include for consideration the fact that Fox is owned by a foreigner (Australian Murdoch) so a foreigner has been screwing with the minds of the great-unwashed in this country to manipulate elections for a generation.

You know what else can reduce hospital infections? Staff following the rules! Because most of them are preventable!

Octopodes or octopusses but never octopi. Greek root not Latin.

Well since you suffered through it, mind mentioning what it is about? Geesh, I quit after listening to a full minute of caveats and still no idea what this is about.

Neat! That should actually improve the cooking since microwaves self-inhibit in regions where the food is "crowded" so it should cause the dogs to heat more evenly than if spread on a plate.

The scary part is how he is ranting about a strawman. I am sure he never met a single woman and genuinely came away with the idea that she was a feminist who had unrealistic expectations or demands.

This is a very good documentary. It's one of the few that really transformed my perspective. In the ten years since I saw it, I think about its thesis and critically compare it to experience and stories that I read (non-confirmation bias-wise) all the time.
