May 23, 20187 yr Eli fucking Manning started and won 2 fucking Super Bowls.... Eli. Fucking. Manning.Tom Coughlin is IMO the most under-appreciated coach of the last 10 years. He won 11 games in 2016, the Giants turn him loose and then win 3 games last year.
May 24, 20187 yr Hate the Giants but came to like TC and agree with you, very under appreciated, especially from their fans.
May 24, 20187 yr The photocopier at work had a sign on it for weeks that said: "Please don't make large numbers of copies at once. The machine overheats and jams if you do." I placed a sign that said "A ten dollar fan blowing on the back of the copier would probably fix this problem." Nothing was done. Time passes. I eventually buy and place a cheap desk fan behind the copier. Problem solved. Worked like a well oiled machine. Not a single jam for weeks. Then one day we get a new photocopier. I asked the secretary about the fan. "Oh, was that your fan? We threw it away. Why did you put it behind the photocopier?" For a second I thought I was being trolled, but she was serious.

May 30, 20187 yr Plain Text Reply Gosh numbers are numbers that represent more than one quantity so that when you perceive the coincidence you say Gosh. Some gosh numbers are trivial. Some are of perhaps Transcendental importance. Some religious people think they are proof of the existence of the Gods/esses. Some gosh numbers are; .5 degrees is the angular diameter of both the sun and the moon as seen from earth. Gosh, how strange that they should be the same but also how useful, because it is partly because of this coincidence that earth has eclipses. Minus 40 degrees is the temperature which is the same in both the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. Gosh Ten to the 39th is a measure of the weakness of the gravitational force as compared with the electromagnetic. It is also the age of the universe expressed as a dimensionless number. It is also the square root of the number of particles in the observable universe, that is, that part of the universe relative to earth in which Hubbles constant is less than .5. Gosh Most gosh numbers are dimensionless because they are the same in any units you measure. Infinity is also a dimensionless number, since you will get the same value no matter what unit of measurement you use. PS This was taken from the works of Frederik Pohl
May 30, 20187 yr Gosh numbers are interesting, I guess, but what can you tell me about goddammit formatting?

May 30, 20187 yr Seattle is further north than Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. There is a land exclave called Point Roberts, Washington which is part of the Tsawwassen Penisula in Canada. The only way to access this American town without entering Canada is by boat (unless you have a helicopter I suppose). There also exclaves in Minnesota and Vermont. To fix this, Trump should invade Canada.

The distances from earth to both of those bodies change every day and they appear larger and smaller. Is that just an average or something?

Is that just an average or something? When you see a diagram in a textbook of the Earth's orbit, the elliptical nature of the orbit is greatly exaggerated. Otherwise, the orbit would look circular to the eye. The orbit is not a perfect circle, but its pretty close, too close to notice a difference in the size of the Sun or Moon.

Ok, but there are still plenty of times when you can look in the sky and see the moon is a lot larger than it is at other times.
May 30, 20187 yr One of my favorite stories from my neuroscience class: Guy had terrible bipolar depression. Battled it for years with meds and Drs. but nothing worked. One day it became to much and he took gun and put it to his temple and pulled the trigger. Incredibly not only does he survive, but the bullet fixes his brain and cures his Bipolar depression

That's an optical illusion. They look bigger when they're closer to the horizon and you're viewing them next to trees, buildings, hills, etc. They look bigger by comparison. When they're higher up in the sky you lose that frame of reference and they seem smaller. You can test this by holding a piece of string at arm's length and "measuring" the diameter of the moon at different heights in the sky.
