Yes, they are very graceful and torpedo-like. I like that image because you can see it directly against a human for scale to make you feel really humble. I think of them as the cows of the sea.

It's fortunate for the Palestinian cause that its effectiveness was reduced. I'm just wondering when the suicide bombers will be unleashed.

I think it's a Blue Whale if irrc. I pulled it off my FB feed.

I wonder what the hit rate is of autonomous guns in that situation.

That basically looks like an act of common garden terrorism on innocent people. Foot shot, I think in the overall propaganda war.

True.

It's a national disgrace! The would-be assassin stood around for 12 hours on the off-chance that Trump would be around and this visit was not noted on his public schedule. Pull the other one.

Zionists and their New Aryan Army don't give a shit.

Trump staff and more rational supporters are having an increasingly hard time "sane washing" his words to the public. They can't keep him on-message. He thinks he's a divine Roman Emperor-God.

Yep, panting and frantically trying to swat that pesky mosquito just excites them more.

I know. It's a cumulative effect of all the historical gerrymandering, I think isn't it?

... and mind the shih tzu. On coming up in the news, I looked at Swift's Instagram page 54 minutes after she posted her polling intent, after the debate. She had over 3 million likes in that short time. Politicians could only drool at that kind of pulling power and eyeballs. It's a good job she's a publicly nice person.

His narcissism certainly shined. He's like one of those old teddies or dolls with the pull cord on the back with a few sentences embedded in it. Everything he says is finished with the best or worst <action> "... in the history of our country". It was a chalk and cheese difference in content and presentation.

APOε1 is only hypothetical from what I Googled. Although it hasn't been found, they appear to have surmised a likely structure for it and that's perhaps why it is labelled first, because it would be first in the series for a sequence of molecular structures, or some other property.

Has it not already produced brains from stochastic and deterministic processes without external agency?

From Aesop: “He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends.”

It ain't over 'til it's over.

Same shit, different labels.

Thanks.

I have a 36" x 24" photograph. What would be the optimum resolution to scan it at so that the file natively prints at 18" x 12" without sampling again? I presume a photo printing shop's printer prints at 300dpi.

It's better to stick to the General Relativity version. Although not wrong within its domain of applicability, it will get you to the Moon, GR explains it more completely. Even GR has a domain of applicability, and we know now it is not complete. It's more than adequate for us amateurs.

Every discrete object in space is in freefall into some object, or gravitationally bound collection of objects, of higher mass/energy.

It's a way of describing how you can travel continually without ever reaching an edge. Everything that is in freefall moves in geodesics, so any path an object takes will always be curvilinear in the big picture. It will only appear flat at local distances.

There is no edge. Picture yourself as a 2D dot on the 2D surface (no up or down) of a sphere, there is no edge.
