 , the only direct pipeline to Germany runs through Vilpuri, which is actually Finnish, hence there are no direct imports.The entire thing is completely hosed and you are less informed if you look at it. It's amazing. e: It could be Verschlimmbessert by adding some regression to it. e2: I applied the standard regression method of "squinting and ignoring outliers". I think we can see a pretty clear trend.

It's from a rather cute article actually https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-04-12/az-iced-tea-inflation-99-cents quote:The short answer: the company is making less money. The big cans are still profitable, but for the moment, they’re much less so than a few years ago.

Swaziland made a strategic mistake renaming itself eSwatini, and has fallen into Russian sphere of influence; on the other hand we can strongly endorse that New Zealand be renamed Aotearoa.

It took way too long for me to realize that the countries were in alphabetical order, but when I did I could finally stop my search for Germany. That's one good thing about that axis, I guess.

In a way it's also helpful in pointing out how big the northern Atlantic is compared to non-Russian Europe, instinctively I would have thought that Ireland would be closer to Titanic's wreck than to Black Sea.

It also shows how close (in a relative sense) the wreck of the Titanic is to America. I always thought it sank basically right in the middle of the ocean.

It's funny, I had the exact same thought. I absolutely would've put it way further northeast, somewhere out west of the UK in the big empty area south of Greenland/Iceland.

1017 seconds is on the order of the age of the Earth. 1026 metres is on the order of the radius of the observable universe. A billion seconds is approximately thirty-one years. The human experience is bounded by something under 210. Don’t as me what’s going on with any of the other bounds. They chart’s lower boundaries are far larger than the Planck units.

Is 0.1 mm the smallest measure we're meant to interact with? This is very concerning.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:"without tools" is the implication I call bullshit. Nobody has a feeling for how big the earth actually is, people top out at like a few miles at most. Evidence: see how often people convert travel distances to time to figure out how big it actually is Piell has a new favorite as of 13:38 on Apr 17, 2022 |

I think you can feel smaller imperfections than .1mm on an otherwise smooth surface with your fingertips. E: I guess such a smooth surface would have to have been made with tools. Flipperwaldt has a new favorite as of 14:40 on Apr 17, 2022 |

I'd say the max should top out at what could be perceived at once, which would probably be the view from a mountain. Either way you shift it around, we're "just" taking about being off by a couple orders of magnitude which doesn't affect the point of the really neat little thought experiment

I kinda like that box as a generality. In the field I work in, I've seen similar ideas used to illustrate the general spatial/temporal scales covered by various sets and classes of research measurements. It's nothing particularly deep, but it's a nice way to illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of measurements people might work with, and show how different ones complement each other.

That chart should be changed to depict the time and space limitations of loving things in the physical world. What are the smallest and largest objects that you can gently caress, and what is the shortest time you can come and the longest time you can hold it. And somewhere in the corner is another rectangle labelled "UR MOM"

That would suggest that the human experience should be defined in arcseconds.

Flipperwaldt posted:I think you can feel smaller imperfections than .1mm on an otherwise smooth surface with your fingertips. You certainly can. I've read that human fingertips are sensitive enough to pick up nanometer-scale textures in certain circumstances. There are definitely some kinds of natural glassy rocks, polished pebbles, etc that have better than 100 micron smoothness, and you would be able to feel much smaller imperfections than that in its surface. I suppose it's kind of a question of how we are perceiving these things and in what context. I probably wouldn't notice a sub-100 micron grain of sand sitting on my desk, but I might if it were in a bite of food. And detecting a change in a constant field/stimulus is often much easier than detecting the same magnitude of stimulus on its own -- consider picking a motionless tiger out of the bushes vs. the same tiger when it moves.
