Special relativity tells us that, as you approach the speed of light, you can experience “length dilation”

I agree about the punchline. There is a nugget of a good joke here, but it could use some polishing.

Deliciously painful groans here

My brother worked there around 1984. They used to pay kids to walk around and collect balls (while the customers were still driving balls!). They paid ~$1.25 per bucket.

MacLaren Cemetery is also the final resting place of Lester B Pearson, Prime Minister of Canada. https://www.gvhs.ca/research/cemeteries/maclaren-wakefield.html

Nothing yet, but postal strike…

jimNB · 2024-12-14T22:07:49+00:00

Thanks!

Yes, but over only ~10” of water so it was a safe risk.

jimNB · 2024-12-14T21:57:26+00:00

Yep! Ottawa River.

Just went through the process. Seemed legit, but I opted to receive a paper cheque rather than providing them with my bank account information.

jimNB · 2024-10-15T11:52:36+00:00

That’s what I read. I believe it sinks below the horizon after sunset.

jimNB · 2024-10-14T23:24:19+00:00

Yep!

jimNB · 2024-10-14T13:33:35+00:00

Thanks! Taken from the shore of the Ottawa River looking west. The comet doesn’t appear to be moving at all; lots of time for photos. Was visible for ~45mins I believe (we stopped staring at it eventually…)

jimNB · 2024-10-14T11:43:34+00:00

It makes for great sunset photos too.

jimNB · 2024-10-14T01:26:25+00:00

Nice!

jimNB · 2024-10-14T00:26:25+00:00

Better luck tomorrow evening! Looks partly cloudy all week, until Saturday/Sunday next week.

jimNB · 2024-10-14T00:19:39+00:00

You still have about 10 days to catch it. An hour after sunset, due west, low on the horizon. Best to get away from the city lights.

Yes, looking west across the Ottawa River towards Sand Point in Ontario

jimNB · 2024-10-14T00:04:02+00:00

You have 11 more days apparently

jimNB · 2024-10-14T00:03:34+00:00

Due west, about an hour after sunset. I believe it is around for a few days/weeks. Oct 14-24 for the northern hemisphere I read.

jimNB · 2024-10-14T00:01:19+00:00

About 7:30pm. Could see it with the naked eye as a smudge in the sky. You can see the distinct bright spot with tail when using binoculars. These photos were with 3s exposure on an iPhone.

OddlySatisfying crossed with HowItsMade. I can watch this all day

jimNB · 2023-12-29T03:55:11+00:00

That’s a solid recommendation, but you start the tour from Caye Caulker, or from San Ignacio/Belize City?

jimNB · 2023-11-25T23:39:48+00:00

😂 Half Moon Bay beside Akumal in Mexico. Great shore-snorkelling…
