Husband & father of world's best wife & kids, Pres. of Gideon Taylor. I love people, making things better, spirituality, talking, thinking, writing, playing.

@SypherZer0 @konstructivizm Yeah the Philae lander landed on the comet, not the Sun; it was a "soft" landing but its anchors failed and it bounced, eventually wedging itself awkwardly, but it still completed most of its science mission.

@jmllubber @atrupar "For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent..."

In fact, now that I think about it, Trump reminds me a lot of the king of Assyria. /3 <end>

@jmllubber @atrupar "Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so... Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks/2

@WitchVein @konstructivizm The original frames aren't gray. This was taken with JunoCam, a visual light color camera that captures red, green, and blue separately. This is color-enhanced to show atmospheric details, so you're right it doesn't look as the naked eye would see it.

@astro_kitten_pe Yes. Python doesn't compile for performance as aggressively as Java; Python is more focused on flexibility.

@wusonfirst @Thomasz79790052 @konstructivizm in space like the astronaut; it is weightless.

Because it is massive, it does generate its own gravity, but its weight would depend on the gravity of another body attracting it, and a scale resisting that force.

[Paul Taylor @PaulGTaylor]

@wusonfirst @Thomasz79790052 @konstructivizm Not quite. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object as it is held apart from the source of gravity, as by a scale. An astronaut in orbit is still subject to the force of gravity but would not tip a scale: they are weightless. The black hole is floating /1

[Paul Taylor @PaulGTaylor]

@Thomasz79790052 @konstructivizm It doesn't. The term is being used casually by OP to mean mass. Weight is the force exerted by an object against a scale in the gravitational field of another object. An astronaut in orbit is weightless; a skydiver in free fall is weightless; a black hole is weightless. No scale.

@TrevorSheatz Christians as those who accept Christ as the Divine Son of God who died for our sins./2 <end>

[Paul Taylor @PaulGTaylor]

@TrevorSheatz Two objections. As a Latter-day Saint, I am saved by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus alone.

And, your conditions for being Christian were not even declared until 1500 years after Christ. You may assert them as conditions of salvation, but it makes more sense to define/1

@A_Shulgin_Hoff @David404622381 @konstructivizm No, the mutual gravity of the disrupted pieces. The gravity of Uranus would tend to pull the pieces apart toward forming a ring, not together.

[Paul Taylor @PaulGTaylor]

@Player911sux @David404622381 @konstructivizm What do you mean by magnetic intersections?

[Paul Taylor @PaulGTaylor]

@TroyDay338687 @David404622381 @konstructivizm Gravity doesn't depend on rotation, just the mass of the pieces. The force of gravity between two pieces is the product of their mass divided by the square of the distance between them.

[Paul Taylor @PaulGTaylor]

@E_Schramm @David404622381 @konstructivizm No. The planet's gravity tends to spread the debris out, toward forming a ring. If the disrupted moon is far enough from the planet, outside its Roche limit, the gravity of its pieces overcomes the planet's tidal force and pulls it back together; inside the limit, you get a ring.

@RubenLDante @GrayM0untain I see it as facilitated caring. My congregational leaders have more information about who needs what, and an assignment can give me courage to reach out that I might otherwise lack.

We all bring our own hearts. We can serve out of love with or without an assignment.

[Paul Taylor @PaulGTaylor]

@GrayM0untain who will reach out to people just like you. You can be part of the solution. If not you, then who? /6 (end)

[Paul Taylor @PaulGTaylor]

@GrayM0untain an assignment as a minister. Explain that you may not be able to visit in person for health reasons but you could make phone calls, and you would like to be assigned someone who is lonely and feels isolated.

You are the proof that your ward needs help; it needs people /5
