He can afford it. He just steals bread for the thrill.

There's no meetup group for smoking weed and going back to sleep unfortunately. I already checked.

Fun fact. John Denver was writing about West-Virginia as in the western part of Virginia.

Less fun fact, explaining this to people is one of the reasons I will die on the hill that Cardinal directions shouldn't be part of a proper noun like a state name. Looking at you too Dakotas....

Torque is a measurement of rotational force. Brooms would technically have thrust. If I remember my high school physics, a Broom would need at least 980 Newtons of thrust to liftoff your average sized witch.

There's an episode of Star Trek TNG where the crew is briefly back on earth and capt Picard is enticed by the idea of taking a job where they do exactly this. They work on lifting a tectonic plate from the ocean floor to create a new continent.

For me, it's the fact that that entire space could be filled with water.

I used to get the same eerie feeling lifeguarding as a kid, walking around in drained Olympic size pools. Always weirded me out for a minute. Like any second it could fill back up.

Unless time.whateverthefuck is running their own cesium clocks, which I doubt. The gshock should be more accurate when synced. 60khz radio waves sent by NIST travel at the speed of light. That is standard em radio propagation. Your computer meanwhile theoretically does, it runs through God knows many nodes, bounced around until it finally gets back to you. I guess they could try to establish your location and correct, but eh....

Now let's talk about why your watch can't transmit. Well it could, but you'd need to carry around a giant antenna and a few kilowatts worth of rms power generation to even be heard over normal background noise at any reasonable distance. The wwvb towers in Denver host an antenna that is electrically one quarter wavelength (1250meters) but obviously not actually that long because that's 10x the towers. They use a series of coils and stretch horizontally to make up for the rest. They power this antenna 24/7 at 70kw. Part of the reason it's in Denver is central location to the country for best average timekeeping. Height above ground also rules when it comes to radio waves.

Im not going to go into the code that's actually transmitted because even as a HAM operator I don't know it all myself, but just know that it uses a system of 1s and 0s by pulsing the carrier wave to tell ever clock that's listening "it will be 2:35pm in... 3...2...1...NOW". Feel free to watch this much less baked youtuber explain.

The reason your watch will always be off by the speed of light at best is the radio station doesn't know where every single person is and can't send out 300,000 signals to tell each one what their specific time is.

Let's gloss over the fact that by the time the light gets from the screen to your eyes, it's TECHNICALLY wrong anyways....

If your interested check out NIST and WWVB website. Thats actually one of the things that got me interested in radio. side note I always wear a radio controlled casio. Sometimes a g. Mostly a field style lcw m100.

Barefoot running actually has an interesting perspective on foot and leg health. This is fucking sadistic though.

And they quit making the compact. I rocked 3 or 4 new old stock Xperia xz1 for YEARS. Smallest phones I could get at the time. Now I'm doing the same thing with the s10e which I still feel is too big.

Just wait until your in the middle of something else your supposed to be doing, and use the dishes to procrastinate!

Dr. T'ana or grumpy young Rutherford if I had to choose. Gotta know how stuff works but I'm gonna yell and swear at it while I fix it.

Fun fact, after my motorcycle accident and c5-7 spinal cord injury in my neck, my entire body felt like this constantly. 3 years later, now only my hands do.
