truly incredible stuff - Nasa spacecraft Dart deliberatley crashes into an asteroid 7 million miles away and destroys it as a test to save Earth from an asteroid that may cause much damage



I wonder if when the time comes and an asteroid is aiming for earth, will the spacecraft have a nuclear payload?

Because I need to know when it's time to eat dinner or time to feed the cats or time to do whatever. I don't have a clock in my head.

Okay, but what do you "gain" out of manipulating the clock? Why does it matter in your personal daily activities if the sun goes down at 5pm or 7pm?

It gives me two more hours of daylight, duh. I don't live in an apartment I live in an old farmhouse on property that needs constant work done on it even in the winter. Two more hours of daylight in December and January is a godsend it means I don't have to rush around like an idiot to hurry up and get everything done by 5 p.m. Any more questions?

That doesn't even make any sense.... LOL.... you have the same amount of daylight regardless of what the clock says. Manually changing the time by two hours doesn't give you "extra" daylight.

I hope the math wizzes at NASA figured out in advance that crashing the probe into the asteroid sin't going to materially alter its trajectory. It'd be ironic if NASA's interference changed the asteroid from non-threatening to one that threatens Earth impact...

That’s why they picked an asteroid orbiting a second asteroid. There are interesting reading on the webs about this very issue, which they took seriously.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

Apparently they specifically picked this one because supposedly no matter what went wrong there is no way it would ever come close to hitting Earth.

Sure it does. I don't go to bed till after 4 a.m. I don't get up till between 10:30 and 11 so I never see the sun rise. Morning sun does not exist for me but afternoon sun very much exists and it goes away at 5 p.m.. Now it's going to last till 7 p.m. in December and January and I am just excited as hell about it.

A betting strategy (also known as betting system) is a structured approach to gambling, in the attempt to produce a profit. To be successful, the system must change the house edge into a player advantage — which is impossible for pure games of probability with fixed odds, akin to a perpetual motion machine.[1] Betting systems are often predicated on statistical analysis.

Mathematically, no betting system can alter long-term expected results in a game with random, independent trials, although they can make for higher odds of short-term winning at the cost of increased risk, and are an enjoyable gambling experience for some people. Strategies which take into account the changing odds that exist in some games (e.g. card counting and handicapping), can alter long-term results.[1][2][3]
♪♪Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand♪♪ Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of casinos and money You must put them on the table♪♪ You go back Jack do it again roulette wheels turinin' 'round and 'round♪♪ You go back Jack do it again♪♪

link to original post

Sure it does, unless you are randomly making bets for absolutely no reason? Your structure is based on previous patterns that tell you when and what to bet. Your structure is making one unit and moving on. I'm sure there's more structure to it as well.

The only reason you don't want it to be classified as a system is that someone (perhaps it was Mike) said systems are bunk while methods may not be. Methods are backed up by provable mathematics and Logic. You can't show any math or logic. Guessing future gambling outcomes on random gambling events based on past patterns IS definitely a betting system.

I noticed you have made sure to rename keywords often associated with negative connotations, and you renamed them. I.E. You renamed predictions to educated guessing.

Got my new Samsung 5G smartphone today in the mail and there was no charger with it. What the hell so I looked it up and Apple and Samsung no longer include chargers with new phones. You have to go and buy an after-market charger. I don't care about the ten bucks is the hassle of it. Just so they can save on shipping and the size of the package and the cost of the charger. I haven't gotten a new phone in 5 years and I've read there's an app you can get that lets you transfer all the information on your old phone on to your new phone. We'll see.

If I had known I was going to buy a z-fold, I probably wouldn't have bought the Ipad pro a couple months ago. But now have both. I still need to get a pencil for the z fold.though.

Ordered the charger last night just found on my deck from Amazon. I'm not looking forward to setting up this phone because from what I've seen setting up smart phones can be a nightmare. There's a guy I follow online everyday who does podcasts he had to take his phone to Verizon and even they couldn't set it up. So he said screw it and he bought a iPhone.

I almost threw my sim tool away because I didn't notice it was embedded in the box lid. Other than that I just followed the menu instructions that come up when you turn it on.

Although, I could have watched a whole TV program while trying to record my fingerprint. I had trouble getting the initial scan, but once it was done, worked fine.

I lost my power three nights ago for 12 hours starting at 10 at night. I'm an old guy so I have LED emergency lights in every room and flashlights everywhere and I have a generator on the porch. But this spring I bought a 400w portable power source, a Jackery. This is the first time I actually got to use it in a power outage. They said the power was coming back on at 3 a.m. and I wasn't going to go out there in the dark and screw around with the generator. So I used the power source to run two LED light bulbs my phone and recharging the battery on my laptop. It worked fantastic. I already knew it would run the two light bulbs for 48 hours and still have power left over. So I watched a Youtube movie on my phone and then I watched another movie on my laptop. It was a very cool night so I did not need my air conditioning on in the bedroom. These portable power sources are fantastic wish I had one 20 years ago but they didn't have them 20 years ago. And the power did not come on at 3 a.m. Didn't come on till 11 a.m.. My freezer is full of frozen meat so I did not need to plug it in cuz it will be fine for the 12 hours the power was out.

What do you think?

There was no reason for her at all to see the flop, Yet she stayed in the hand with nothing, and ended up calling a $129,000 all-in raise on the river.- With nothing.

Stranger still. She gave him back his money.

I don’t think she cheated. It doesn’t make sense as she was slightly behind when she called. I think she misread her hand and made a hero call.

Sounds like the guy later threatened her and she gave the money back. Which is all kinds of insane.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

If the cops ever get a hold of your phone and want to search it for evidence, they don't need a warrant to force you to use Face ID or Fingerprint ID to unlock your phone. They do, however, mostly need a warrant to compel your password. Fingerprint or face ID may be easier, but it's a security nightmare and a gaping privacy risk.

There's so many abandoned cars at the Russian border from people trying to flee the country with its new army draft laws.

I saw one tweet a couple days ago that the U.S. Gov't will give us a 10 minute warning if there's an imminent nuclear strike against this country. Keep your phones on!

ZH: Just days after Russia's Ministry of Finance announced plans to let any industry in the country to accept bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for international trade without restriction, the EU has imposed a sweeping ban on providing crypto services to Russians as part of its eighth round of sanctions.

I saw someone respond to that: "Ten minutes? At that point, don't even bother telling me. I don't want to ruin the last ten minutes of my life waiting to die."

LOL.... guess that would depend on where you live.

The date is set, the plan is in play, on November 1st the day after Halloween I will turn my clocks ahead one hour and a week later everybody will turn their clocks back one hour and I will be 2 hours ahead of the rest of the United States. With daylight savings time the sun sets at 6:30 p.m. on November 1st for me it will set at 7:30 and will go down to 7:10 on December 21st and then it will start to go up again. Lack of light in the winter has always greatly affected me and I'm super excited this year that it's not going to happen. I will have the same amount of light on January 1st that I had on September 25th and it will keep going up so that in February I'll have the same amount of lightI had in August.

And it's easy for me to adjust to this because I don't get up till 11 in the morning cuz I don't go to bed till 5. If I want a Walmart delivery order to come between 1 and 2 p.m. I'll tell him to bring it between 11 and 12 p.m.. My wife thinks I'm eccentric, I think I'm practical. I'm taking care of a bothersome problem I'm taking some of the bite out of winter. Isn't there a name for that depression people get from lack of sun? Of course if you get up early in the morning this would never work but getting up at 11 a.m. The morning is almost over. Mark Twain used to sleep late then get served breakfast in bed and stay there till after noon writing. There are pictures of him with his bed covered in papers.

There was a time in 1970's when we messed with Daylight Saving time for the energy crisis and I started changing my clock daily to mean sun time. It didn't help me get to where I was going on time any better.

What did the Standard Time Act do?
The Standard Time Act of 1918, also known as the Calder Act, was the first United States federal law implementing Standard time and Daylight saving time in the United States. It authorized the Interstate Commerce Commission to define each time zone.

Today, the Uniform Time Act of 1966 (15 U.S.C. §§ 260-64) establishes a system of uniform Daylight Saving Time throughout the Nation and its possessions, and provides that either Congress or the Secretary of Transportation can change a time-zone boundary. - Sep 30, 2022

Why did they change daylight savings dates?
Daylight saving time has been in place in nearly all of the United States since the 1960s after being first tried in 1918. Year-round daylight savings time was used during World War Two and adopted again in 1973 in a bid to reduce energy use because of an oil embargo and repealed a year later. - Mar 15, 2022

Why doesn't Arizona do daylight Savings?
Reasoning. Because of Arizona's hot climate, DST is largely considered unnecessary. The argument against extending the daylight hours into the evening is that people prefer to do their activities in the cooler evening temperatures.

What happens to Arizona if Daylight Savings Time is permanent?
The bill, which was passed Tuesday with unanimous consent, was introduced last March by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida. Arizona is on Mountain Standard Time, which is also Pacific Daylight Time, three hours behind the East Coast. If the legislation becomes law, Arizona and California would always be on the same time. - Mar 17, 2022

What year did the US not observe Daylight Savings Time?
[See law] From 1945 to 1966, there was no federal law regarding Daylight Saving Time, so states and localities were free to choose whether or not to observe Daylight Saving Time and could choose when it began and ended.

One of the crazier facts about life in the United States is this: For roughly two decades, nobody had any clue what time it was.
In office buildings, it could be 4 p.m. on one floor and 5 p.m. on another — an important matter for several reasons, including who punched out first to get to happy hour. People would step off airplanes with no idea how to set their watches.

You’re overcomplicating this big time. Sounds like you like to get up about four hours after sunrise and get certain things done before sunset. Think in those terms, not in terms of what an arbitrarily set clock says.

Most importantly: eat when you’re hungry, not when a clock says something
It’s all about making that GTA
