Here's a picture of a billiard ball under a microscope. We see it as really smooth, but magnified it actually has mountains and valleys. If the earth was shrunk to the size of a billiard ball, and you could hold it, it would be much smoother than a billiard ball.

So, okay, at the scale we interact with it, it has mountains and valleys and flat spots. Even so, it's pretty easy to see the curvature of the sphere. When you're at a high cruising altitude on a plane and look out at the horizon, it's curved. When you stand on the shore and watch a boat sail away, it starts looking like it's sinking as it goes over the horizon, over the curve.

It's a sphere, it's just (to us) a really big sphere.

The earth is spinning and the mass wants to move to the outer edge of the spin, which is the equator, which is why the earth bulges a little there. For the same reason, the water would want to move to the equator.

I'm not sure that it's their best song, but I do think it's their best song/video combination. After hearing the song s number of times, the video made me hear it and understand it much differently.

Wow, half a cup of bacon grease. I guess it's not that much worse than butter, but I've never used more than like a tablespoon in anything.

That's a good looking puppy. Don't get too used to it's size though.

Oh, that's the best, especially when you feel like you've been asleep for a really long time

It's the opposite for me. If I know I have, say, less than an hour to sleep, it's better for me to know and just doze. If I have multiple hours to sleep, I'll go to sleep soundly. If I don't know, I'm very likely to just doze when I have a long time to sleep or fall deeply asleep and by woken from it.

Was that like a dozen or more years ago? I seem to remember seeing the pics and it's literally like a few of a mama bear and her cubs, then one of the mama bear standing, looking at the camera, then her coming towards the camera. Like, I wasn't sure if it was a joke - sad though.

Last picture found on a camera roll

If you read the article, it was just saying that it's still raining up north, but we get a few days off in the south.

If you use the bullets or the numbers, it will appear like this (you still type the double breaks, they just get collapsed).

Not my field of expertise - I do real time control systems - but I don't think we're that close. I mean, there are really cool things getting done, especially with machine learning, but nothing in the vicinity of a conscious AI that I'm aware of. Not even the grand parent of one.

Yeah, I forgot it was a continuation.

Oh, right, I actually forgot that.

Just to make sure, did you watch the original 1990 version, or the far inferior 2017 remake?

I graduated with a computer science degree in 85, and at the time prior were working on auto code generation. The were articles saying programmers would become unnecessary. Nearly 40 years later and auto code has gotten much better but we need more programmers than ever.

I'm guessing you won't be replaced anytime soon, though your tools might change.

Great idea. Extra points if you can make it look like them. And they're useful as pin cushions, so to make sure they get the idea, stick a couple pins into it.

That's funny, though you might be giving kid rock too much credit

Yep, good ones!

Yeah, I didn't include stuff like that because most of them are references to artists, not to songs. I didn't know the Who Wrote The Book of Love reference.

Whatever is in it contains some kind of oil and has leaked out a bit, which is breaking the bond between the print and the plastic.

Sweet Home Alabama has the verse:

>Well I heard Mister Young sing about her, Well I heard ol' Neil put her down, Well I hope Neil Young will remember, A southern man don't need him around anyhow

Which is a reference to Southern Man, by Neil Young.

American Pie, about the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper, keeps repeating the line "This'll be the day that I die," which is obviously a reference to "That'll be the day (that I die)," a Buddy Holly song.

>You must be very young.

I'm 60 and that was my first assumption about you. I agree with the other person: you should never feel obligated to be in a relationship that doesn't make you happy, with the caveat that if you get married, you're making a commitment.

As far as dating or gf/bf go though, the more immature thing is to feel like you have to stay with someone when you aren't happy, regardless of what it is that is making you unhappy.

Seriously, if her not liking meat bothered you enough (like, you love BBQ and she won't go to a BBQ place), sure, nothing shitty about it. Unfortunate, maybe.

I agree with the other person: if something about your partner really makes you unhappy, you have every right to end it with them. If you do that over trivial stuff, you're going to be lonely, but you aren't obligated to be in a relationship with anyone.
