Maticemos, el famoso mapa de Mercator priorizó la dirección, si trazas una línea recta entre dos puntos, obtienes un rumbo de brújula constante. Por este motivo, fue un invento tecnológico insuperable para la navegación marítima del siglo XVI.

[Shakes, A Large And Particular Man @TheFatAmerican]

The function of the Mercator map was to enable safe sailing and trade

By stretching the poles, you can draw a line between any two points (any two sea ports) and the angle with respect to north will be constant

This was called a rhumb line: it’s longer than the shortest line that travels a globe, but you can calculate it very easy

This was very useful when it was extremely hard to calculate longitude and ships often got lost.

With the Mercator projection, you can just calculate your rhumb line and, even if you get blown off course, you know roughly what angle to be traveling in, so you can find your way

This is long outdated technology, but it was extremely important in its day.

The new “Equal-area Projection” serves no such practical purpose. It exists to soothe neurotic liberals who are upset that Africa isn’t large enough on Mercator and that this distortion is harmful to Africa

Its adoption reflects an affluent society where the underlying purpose of things is forgotten and the only function left is for objects to be symbols that signal belief (liberal beliefs)

No puedo creer que Disney saca una remake live action que es la peor basura de todos los tiempos y hace 500 millones de dólares, pero Coyote Vs Acme está peleando y apenas supera los 31 millones.
La gente es imbécil.

NYC having a Muslim mayor on the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 is an absolute disgrace and a spit in the face to every victim. Every single New Yorker should be ashamed

No soporta que Benzema le cerrara la boca y todavía no lo supera. Sus jugadores preferidos nunca le dan una alegría.

You would not want to live in a world where the death of children didn't make men emotional, I promise you.

You're telling me this ad didn't sell running shoes? I'm shocked.

This is why they are remaking Harry Potter because people did not read the books

Why aren't these women treated like the creeps they are? Imagine this is a female tennis player and the smiling, photographing weirdos are men.
