  1. Harris is losing Pennsylvania
  2. CNN is shit, but John King is the diamond in the pile of shit.
  3. PBS going off on Comrade Muskovich
  4. Its quite simple, morons. The graph is about exoplanets (it includes our solar system planets for reference). The x axis is mass, measured as a multiple of earth mass. For example, the number two on the x axis represents 2 times the earth's mass. The y axis is radius, also as a multiple of earth's radius. each triangle or circle represents an exoplanet with a known radius and mass. The little cross things are error bars. Our solar system planets don't have error bars because we know their radii and masses with high levels of precision. The bars sticking out from the left are the number of planets discovered in each "bin", or with that narrow range of radius. They aren't all represented as data points presumably because we don't know their masses. RV (circles) and TTV (triangles) are two different ways of determining an exoplanets mass. So each known exoplanet is shown as a circle or triangle depending on how its mass was determined. The faint, gray dashed lines show the density of the planets. I think the colored lines show the makeup of some aspect of the planet (core maybe?) although I don't understand how a planet can be 100% H2O. The colored scale shows either the flux of the planet's magnetic field, again measured as a multiple of Earth's magnetic field, or the temperature measured using the Kelvin scale (of the core I presume) of the planet. The color of the dot or triangle tells you the flux, the color of the lines tell you temperature. I'm not sure what topographic looking circles are, presumably some measure of something about the planets. The closer to the centers of those circles, the higher some value is. Each line represents a discrete change up or down from that value. Finally, the curves along the x axis show approximately the frequency that planets with a certain radius fall into that mass range. For example, under the blue curve, you can see that most planets with a radius of 2-3 times Earth's radius have about 9 times the Earth's mass.
  5. strange, I don't remember any sexy couches in that movie.
  6. Welp, that cure for cancer is going to have to wait a few more years.
  7. For the same reason I despise aggy more than I despise blowU-- aggy and weasel face are a stain on Texas.
  8. I think its because he's paralyzed and his diaphragm doesn't work, or work the way its supposed to.
  9. I was on my way to the game and stopped for a quick blizzard. I learned my lesson.
  10. Dan is going to get his ass robo-copped.
  11. My small town is so small it doens't have any of those, except for the DQ. I once sat in the drive through line and listened to an entire half of a high school football game on the radio. Only 12 minute quarters and no reviews but still. To be fair, their entire staff was probably at the game. Nearest Allsups is 70 or 80 miles from me.
  12. Were they doing the gator chomp clap thing? If so, meh.
  13. Cops vs Florida Fans. I'm so conflicted rn
  14. Any "media" that covers number 5 and doesn't call it a lie, using that actual word- lie, should be shut down.
  15. My prediction: Also, I'm thinking we need a little violence to clear the air. A little watering of the tree of liberty if you will. Then once they are all dead or up on murder charges, the magats will go the fuck away, and we can get back to normalcy- arguing over tax rates and such.
  16. Post this in the football board. I double dog dare you.
  17. maybe because people imagine the robot driver looks like this:
  18. Cancel the election! DOATarD wins!
  19. Anybody have video of this almost killing himself?
  20. honest, serious question: Why is in the frat then?
  21. Getting a lot of emails with pictures of their cute kids in cute costumes. Of course everybody replies all and says "cute!" I delete, then they immediately pop back into my inbox when the next moron replies all with "cute!"
