Fake news.  When wars happen, UT students get busy sipping tea and don’t have time for military stuff. It is known.

Went by the Round Rock library this afternoon. 
Thought the ribbon decoration was pretty cool..

It's a shame we'll have to close it soon because no one actually goes inside.

[tbone_ 14438]

And because like 10x was spent on it compared to what should have been spent on it.

Same with schools, fire stations, and other public institutional buildings. I’m not saying these things should operate in shacks, but the scope creep on these buildings over the years has been insane.

No one goes inside anymore cause it’s too crowded in there.

In October 2000 my dad, my brother, and I went camping at Lower Beaver Creek campground, just outside South Fork, Colorado.  It was off season and we had the campground to ourselves.  The squirrels had obviously been fed all summer by idiots who camped there, and were starving.  When I cooked our meals I used one hand to mix, stir, etc., and the other to fend off demon squirrels, intent on stealing our food.  It was highly annoying, and we all came close to being bitten.  That guy isn't doing that marmot any favors by feeding it.

That's a result of the most commonly used world map being one that was developed for nautical reasons.  

This distortion is because of something called the Mercator Projection. Historically, maps can be traced back to the ancient times when explorations took place by using the magnetic compass and Pole Star for navigation. While traditional maps made on flat surfaces gave apt information but gave inaccurate size of countries or places depending on their position relative to the equator.

Putting a 3D planet on a two-dimensional map was something of a challenge for early cartographers and so Dutch geographer and cartographer Gerardus Mercator came up with a solution. In 1569 he designed a map that could be accurately used for navigation purposes, but the downside was that his system distorted the size of objects depending on their position relative to the equator. Because of this, landmasses like Antarctica and Greenland appeared much larger than they actually are.

Here's a to-scale world map:

As a kid I remember thinking Greenland and Scandinavia were fucking massive.  Was strange when I realized, probably in middle school, that they’re not.
