@FormulaAnon In thoroughbred racing circles some owners blame the jockey because it’s easier than acknowledging your trainer couldn’t make a horse run faster. Willie Shoemaker was once chastised for not driving their horse through an opening, he replied we couldn’t catch it. 🤷🏼♀️
The magnitude of difference between 1 million and 1 billion is not that intuitive and can be illustrated with this example of the time scale:
- A million seconds is 12 days.
- A billion seconds is 31 years.
- A trillion seconds is 31,688 years

@ABC So they suspected this guy of being armed and dangerous and a mass shooter with very dangerous weapon. Yet he was arrested without incident and is put safely into police custody. Interesting.
@OklahomaWatch I think the issue is that there are people that want to beat you up or shoot you or just in general be pissed off at you for voting, driving and the list goes on. I go a long way not to provoke anyone.
@formulamegan As for @danielricciardo he seems to alway be laughing. Even alone he must have some internal joke that’s worth at the least a giant smile.
@nelson_bernie@cdanesheffield@JasonIsbell Jason won’t lose any fans. If politics sway your opinion of an artist guess you don’t care about talent or good music. Another fave with talent and we don’t care about his politics is Orville Peck. Talent beats pandering every day.

@okczoo Is it possible that I could have seen 3 river otters in far SW Payne county about 1/8 mi from the Cimarron? Idk what else would like that. My first thought was cats in the road but as we got closer they weren’t cats. It was just after dark.
