That is frigin hilarious! No doubt I will still be chuckling several days from now. May we have found the actual reason for tinnitus, people become sensitive to the background gravitational waves and can hear them vibrating the ear drum. :wideeyed:

Previous answer was more to the point for a realistic earth, with the error given here of correct magnitude. This answer here though is incomplete for scaling in that for a finite surface body such as the earth, an increase in land mass area will decrease the ocean area, and vice-versa...

The water cycle includes atmospheric evaporation and condensation, so I suppose that can be called a natural distillation. The adjective 'natural' does not imply purity in the sense as it is used here. The atmosphere contains contaminates from both the natural environment as well as from human...

The problem is the circle packing problem. How many circles can fit is a specific area? For a circle of radius r, 1 circle will fit in a square of side dimension r, or within an equilateral triangle of side length r. packing density - 0.785. Within a hexagon of side length r, the density...

A Point 5 could mention the area size of the oceans so one can check that number out. Something tells me that there isn't enough rubber trees on earth to make that many tennis balls, let alone baby's heads available to cover them in the fuzz. Agriculturally and baby-making speaking, a few of...

Of course there is that too as an interpretation of survey results. The article by the author as written to substantiate a biased premise that companies ( surveyed ) are pro-AI, and are willing to view the results of AI output as being trustworthy enough to replace qualified workers. The...

The bate headline should have read " Of companies using AI, 80% find it difficult to impossible to replace workers."

Reuters wants me to subscribe, but no problem as I had heard of this from another source. In essence, it was 2 Chats arguing between themselves their side of the court case, with the briefings and the false references being produced by the LLM in separate sessions for each lawyer. In other...

Canada has 1 point. USA 3. Mexico 3. If anyone keeping track of the NA teams.

tickets at $6,730 That's about right. considering Baron T's foray into energy drinks has a can priced at a steal of $70. It is questionable who dishes out at these prices?

I could't see which page was which. One can get the relationship from the graph for those items as the example given. A line drawn from monopole 2 will match up with angular wavelength 180 degrees. The formula may involve a square root or something else for spherical coordinates. The text says...

Does not the first paragraph on page 72 explain the monopole as being the size partitions into which the map is broken up ie if the map is sliced into 2 hemispheres the monopole number is 2, and the angular wavelength is 180 degrees. I do not know the formula used to calculate the the angular...

That moon says, you think I look bad, you should see the other one. It looks like it ended up on the wrong end of a moon boxing match.

Depends on their age and spirit. there are some 18 year olds, some as young as 16, that made an ap, sold it and are now millionaires several times over. Others make movies - one is a horror hit making its rounds on the cinema circuit. The younger entrepreneurs that have adopted, and will adopt...

Lovely video of the birds paths home. Shows some error and then some feedback correction to the pigeon directional system. I so wonder if a compass is the only tool one needs to move from A to B without the compass headings being superimposed upon a geo map with included distances. Assume...
