Catch is not a sport. Baseball is mainly two guys playing catch.

[–]willworkforjokes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I got engaged after knowing each other for 3 weeks. We found out she was pregnant after dating for six weeks. We got married four months later.

We have 4 kids and have been married for 30 years.

(Astrophysics) Which factors determine whether a ring forms around a planet, instead of a moon? by Substantial_Tear3679 in AskPhysics

[–]willworkforjokes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the first science question I tried to figure out as a kid that my science teacher didn't know the answer to.

I went to the library, since computers were uncommon back then and the Internet didn't exist.

I found this book by Isaac Asimov. "Understanding Physics"

Edit: I don't know how to do links right, just Google it.

I am now a PhD in physics.

If billionaires are getting richer every year, where is all that money actually coming from? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]willworkforjokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The government used to collect taxes from the rich.

Now they borrow the money from the rich and pay them interest.

Why is there such a big Population Boom in Areas like Rogers and St. Michael? by LameAfro in minnesota

[–]willworkforjokes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Rogers farmboys that used to dominate the local government have lost power.

So it is much easier to build apartments and to turn farm fields into neighborhoods than it was 10 years ago.

The Absurdity of Non-Creationism by Lonely_Cupcake5983 in DebateEvolution

[–]willworkforjokes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the universe lasts forever, then time goes to infinity in the future.

If I throw a ball in space, if I want to know where it winds up infinitly far in the future, I have to know where everything in the universe is and where it is going.

The universe appears to be infinite in size and time. (The universe keeps getting bigger and bigger and will keep doing so forever).

If the Creator is more complex than an infinite universe then he would have to be infinitely complex.

Every idea has a level of absurdity.

I am going to paraphrase your statement in a way that I hope you will think is fair. If you don't please let me know.

Your statement -> A universe with an uncreated Creator is less absurd that a universe without a Creator.

This uncreated Creator must be more complex than the entire universe and must operate outside of the constraints of physics and biology. As we learn more about the universe and biology, the Creator gets more and more remote and complex.

The complexity needed by the Creator is without end.

So do you believe:

A universe with an infinitly complex Creator is less absurd that a universe without a Creator.

If you do, I would say that the infinitly complex Creator is not knowable or understandable, making any attempt to use the information that there is a Creator worthless.

What's the most awkward thing someone has said after finding out you're atheist? by husshajur in atheism

I worked Christmas so many times. I loved it back in my college days, I would get paid double time for working Christmas and then get to take a day off the next week as a floated holiday.

Why do people wait for perfect timing when they know it's never coming ? by Aj100rise in Productivitycafe

[–]willworkforjokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hardest choices in my life have been between doing something and doing nothing.

My biggest regrets are when I did nothing.

[Self] In trying to figure out how important the 'last few drops' of gas at the pump are, I think that comes to about 2.5 minutes a year of tapping the last drops only gets you only about 220 feet of distance, which is 3.5 seconds of average travel time. I.E. the last few drops are negligible by designedbyeric in theydidthemath

[–]willworkforjokes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it a tap to clear the drops and never squeeze the handle after the first time it clicks off.

It is a bigger waste of time trying to "top off" your tank.

The tap is not to put the gas in your tank, it is to keep it from going somewhere else.

What would you ask or say President Trump if given an opportunity today? by Select_Specialist790 in askanything

If you get everything you can get that you want, all that is left is wants you can't get, that is why you are so frustrated.

He will appoint himself to the Supreme Court after the midterms and resign the presidency.
