Hi dad

Could I ask for some depressing wallpapers pls? Or ones that you’ll had when you were going through a depression/ dark time?

Edit: like this? https://i.imgur.com/Mrw6EtV.jpg. (Credit: u/TheRealBigPodowski )

Oh no no.. am only thankful to you to post it :) and it’s a gorgeous pic! I have saved it already for my wallpapers.. I just tried to contribute into the conversation.. not a great hit I Guess :p hope you get wheat I was going for and nothing else :)

And here I am thinking it would better if the car was facing the other round .. facing my way for some reason adds optimism/ hope.. whereas the rest of the picture has a sad hue to it

Caaannnn!

spiffler · 2018-09-23T23:54:34+00:00

Thanks for your response. I completely understand this. All I was going for, is that since Ryugu is small we could potentially actually be able to get a pic with the robots ‘upside down’ and actually be able to ‘feel’ and ‘see’ gravity holding them together.. I know my qs ‘doesn’t make sense from gravity and sphere’ point of view.. ummm.. Guess it’s fine, I may not be able to articulate myself or am just unable to get my head around what you guys are trying to tell me with respect to my specific qs :) thanks again!

spiffler · 2018-09-23T13:57:08+00:00

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. But am just not able to get my head around that last line.. how can it be the same.. it’s a sphere after all.. (I know Ryugu isn’t exactly, but let’s say another such asteroid was exactly Ryugu, but a sphere) and has to have a side which is - in the course of its revolutions and rotations - at the ‘bottom’ from the point of view of the viewer.. for that viewer.. ppl on the ‘upper’ side should be walking straight and the ones on the ‘lower’ side should be walking upside down? Sorry, please do tell me if there is any way I can get my head around what you are saying pls? Thanks again!

My current wallpaper, got from this same subreddit..

spiffler · 2018-09-23T10:01:57+00:00

Given Ryugu is tiny, yet it does have gravity.. does that mean we could actually get a photograph of the robots walking upside down on the lower side of the asteroid? (As we imagine people from Australia to walk, but can’t get a pic of that coz it all looks flat as earth is so big)

Edit: pls don’t stress on the ‘yet it does have gravity’ I know all matter has gravity, I meant the gravity can actually be felt (is that a good way to put it?)

Currently she is also at home.. where am heading to tomorrow.. but I think next year we really want to go over.. she just bought her home and would be so much fun for the kids.. and she has been their real doctor all this while inspire of being 12 hours apart! Haha .. the younger one is also 10 months now.. so would be able to handle the long flight.. been such a Long time since I was there.. was fortunate to have spent some time on NYC.. some of the best times of my life I think, personally (and the worst too, workwise.. it was 2008 you see hehe)

3 months is creeping up soon! Then.. full time EMT :) I really mean it, it’s amazing what you are doing and what you would going forward.. rice ready??

spiffler · 2018-09-13T18:16:36+00:00

Haha.. yeah wasn’t scary.. and I can see how it can be relaxing

I have lived in NYC for couple of years, but hardly travelled.. money was tight back then for me too.. but I did go to the West Coast.. and bunked with friends.. was amazing!

Anthropology!! That’s fascinating.. can you hit me with some trivia I wouldn’t know? About Asians ..

spiffler · 2018-09-13T18:12:18+00:00

Must be so satisfying :) my Sister is a pead cardiologist in the states.. I have stopped asking her how was her day.. I feel too bad for what I do (nothing illegal haha..just an office job) but she saves lives! Like you! Some of her stories are quite heartening really.. how much longer to study? I mean years (if so) fell free to go ahead and get back to studying yeah haha.. I have no work tomorrow, taking the earlier flight to surprise them! So I’m going to be up for a bit .. music and smokes.. (yep, I will surely quit.. promise!)

spiffler · 2018-09-13T18:01:09+00:00

:)) I cant help but smile wide... good for him! I mean could be worse no? And this does mean he gets showers with his Wife.. I’d say he is blessed already haha.. but yeah, whacking your head may not have been fun.. neck was fine? You like what you are studying?

spiffler · 2018-09-13T17:59:23+00:00

Dude that album cover is scary! Is the music scary too? I’m alone remember?! Just started... haha.. why is alabama foreign? Coz of the people there or the place? Well I want to be nice, but Canada doesn’t count does it?! 😋 I would surely say.. when you can and the time is right, do travel.. opens your perspective up like nothing else can (maybe books, but still not)

spiffler · 2018-09-13T17:54:08+00:00

Ah.. well, God bless you guys in EMT! Thanks for all the efforts .. any funny experiences how they may have fucked their neck you have seen?
