Shit! You’re right! Guys… I uhh, I gotta go stop a satellite launch.
Probably my favorite approximation of pi. With four symbols, you have like 18 digits.

I’m like 90% certain that 30 Rock was a Tracy Morgan documentary.
Also, anything that generates enough heat in the presence of bread is, in fact, a toaster.
1·4 months agoThey probably don’t know about second Afghan invasion.
“Remember, the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes. They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do,” Trump wrote.
Just gonna leave that right there.
I’m old enough to get this reference
You are right about the subjectivity of the scale, though. The American Spice Trade Association has an objective test using high performance liquid chromatography. They have graciously provided the data to the public free of charge… just kidding you have to be member (starts at $2,500/yr).
In Scoville’s method, an exact weight of dried pepper is dissolved in alcohol to extract the heat components (capsinoids), then diluted in a solution of sugar water. Decreasing concentrations of the extracted capsinoids are given to a panel of five trained tasters, until a majority (at least three) can no longer detect the heat in a dilution. The heat level is based on this dilution, rated in multiples of 100 SHU.
Sweetness increases your tolerance for heat. The Scoville unit basically tells you how much sugar water it takes to mask the spiciness.
2·5 months agoYes, your legs can resist 10 lbs of lateral force, but for how long? 30 seconds? 2 minutes? Also what does the water carry?
Let’s say the water carries a 3 foot wide tree branch against your ankles. Your surface area just went from 3 inches to 3 feet. 10 lbs becomes 120 lbs.
It’s not as simple as walking with heavier shoes.
6 inches of running water can absolutely sweep you off your feet
Whose that now?
No, I can’t blame anyone for visiting harm on Nazis. But that is a temporary solution. If we are to nullify supremacist ideologies, we must eacape survival of the fittest world views. Any ideology that requires violence will be surpassed by the next strongest, including the ideology that kills Nazis and white supremacists.
You are right. If we exclude any population from rehabilitation, we exclude ourselves.
Yeah, I imagine even a 1ft tidal wave would be enough to sweep a person or a small car away.
Apparently, there are a whole mess of magnitude scales. The 8.8 and 9.0 are given in “Mw” scale,which estimates total energy. It doesn’t differentiate between friction and the seismic wave energies.
You’re right. 1952 Severo-Kurilsk
Almost the same spot too. 15-18m tsunami waves, three of them.
He may be flouting the Logan Act here.
