(From Rats Learn to drive tiny cars in order to collect food. As a rat lover, I think this video is cute and funny. It also reminds me of Jaak, the rat tickler scientist.)

Thanks, Reg!

The most valuable words of wisdom I can offer those concerned with the eternal state of an atheist is to be faithful in lovingly sharing the gospel and to pray and then pray some more. And don’t be afraid to say something as simple as “God loves you.”

Have a great week everyone!!

Excerpt:

4.9 million. That’s the total number of New York Times subscribers overall, between print and digital. That’s already three times its peak in the good old days of print.

4.1 million. That’s roughly how many paying news customer…

Agreed. I only climbed up here to freak out my Fitbit stairs counter. And its all dark up here too.

If it’s not Time by Pink Floyd, it’s not time.

That is a good Sunday afternoon question to ponder but does anyone really know what time it is……?

And, Reg, once the two week transmission arrived, precisely which time zone do you feel would apply?

Also time related, Robert, even a broken clock is right twice a day 🙂

They are gonna need all the thoughts and prayers they can get. Trump in his mind was just making a deal, I am sure. That is what he does. It is interesting that many US companies are realigning their supply chains away from China to avoid the tariffs. His strategy may actually be working.

Assuming sound could travel through space it would take almost 2 weeks to tell you the time but if I used a radio, only about 2 or 3 seconds, depending on the time of the year. I thought the climb itself would be more impressive!

I’ll be a lot more impressed if you could tell me what time it is on the moon when you get there.

This preying priest is another reason that the Catholic Church should be disbanded.

The watch, over time (T), is losing energy even if it is not functioning internally and so entropy is increasing even though the system is not doing any “work”. If it was functioning internally and was doing “work” it would reach a high entropy state a lot faster.

Some called him a militant atheist for that above quote. Others see it as him dealing with the realities of life.

I am correct?

Now I have another question. Does a wound-up watch that’s not moving internally (say from some malfunction) weigh more than an energy-spent watch? Without doing any math my first thought is “yes” it does weigh more because of the stored potential energy.

agreed…plus kinetic and even a bit of thermal energy.
