I wish this was a real law. Stayed at the Omni Parker House in Boston recently which is allegedly haunted by the ghost of Charles Dickens because he lived there for like a year.
But he didn’t die there. I feel like his ghost has better places to be than the flat he shacked up in while visiting the States that one time.
I don’t get it…
Can’t speak to the headphones, but they eventually moved to the head lice-free option of one of those directional dome speakers overhead.
I mean, we had these in the 90s.
Gemini evolved into a seal.
When my mom got fiber internet, they had to dig a trench through everyone’s front yard in the neighborhood. They managed to destroy one of her Christmas yard decorations.
When I got fiber internet, a dude in a truck ran it from a pole across the street in like two hours.
The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles!
Maybe not direct miscommunication, but definitely a lack of context.
I got into a stupid game with my girlfriend texting back and forth quotes that start with “I am” like I’d send “I am Iron Man” and she’d respond “I am not a crook!”
After a while, I was running out of ideas, so I sent a quote from Pulp Fiction which I probably botched. Wasn’t sure if she had even seen it.
A few minutes later, my ex girlfriend calls and then hangs up when I answer. Thought that was weird.
Then I thought about how my ex and current girlfriend had the same first name.
I had just texted my ex who I hadn’t spoken to in two years “I AM THE LORD WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON YOU!”
I tried to explain the context. She was fairly understanding, but I was shoook after that experience.
There are no rat problems; only rat opportunities.
The tips of the turbine fan blades are going much faster than the plane itself.
The air leaving your lungs during a sneeze is moving roughly 100mph.
At the equator, everything is moving at over 1000mph.
Glass cracks propagate at an absurdly fast rate. Something like 4x the speed of sound (1400m/s). Not a physical thing moving, but very common.
Also need to specify rest mass. Light has momentum.
Can’t find any solid numbers on it, but the micromirrors on a DLP projector are really fast. They rotate 10 degrees or so back and forth something like 1024 times for each color channel for each frame at 60fps.
The crack of a whip is a sonic boom caused by the tip going supersonic.
Then all of these rocks and stars are forgotten when the universe is just black holes for a trillion trillion years.
