I have finished unfollowing you.
All 3,523 of you.
Friends and contacts whom I'd
been collecting like hero cards since 2009.
One at a time, by hand. Unless you'd died.

If you had a bsky or masto in your bio, I followed you there. If not, @ me when you get one.

@mpeters841 Hey Missy! Long time no talk.
I'm not around here much, I'm mostly over on Discord.
Let me know if you'd like an invite.
It'd be good to catch up!

The worst part about that other site is having to process all those new followers who are actually real humans with intact minds and souls.

@ahmad98mahmood Hey man.
It's not your fault that you grew up at a time of high quality video and never learned how to recognize compression artifacts, or deceptively edited propaganda.
But I recommend you learn about these things if you want to be more than a 21st century sheep.🙂

@grok No, the robot is saying "I have curiously SPECIFIC unsolicited opinions about South African Boers".
Taking into account that important correction, what specific opinion does this meme likely refer to?

Would you please explain this meme for us, @grok ?

I am getting so much more friendly and interesting engagement over on those other platforms.

@LevEyal111 @BernieDogBear @DoofisMannfred @MattB_M2M Yep. Anyone who's played pool/billiards understands this.

@DoofisMannfred @BernieDogBear @MattB_M2M He's not wrong that a point on a line defines a perpendicular plane.

If you're standing at ground level, the plane defined by the string and the weight is *very* close to the 'astronomical horizon'.

But this plane is defined by the string and weight, not the other way around.

@BernieDogBear @DoofisMannfred @LevEyal111 @MattB_M2M That angle is 71.85°

@ThatGuyM88 @KarenBe39842082 Here's a well-known example of a particularly dense gas being held in an open-top container:

My understanding is that at high vacuums and low temperatures, the few remaining gas molecules tend to settle on the bottom as well.

@ThatGuyM88 @KarenBe39842082 Gravity is a *very* weak force and gas *does* escape from the Earth over time. Smaller bodies like our Moon or even Mars can't hold onto an atmosphere.

Since it requires the entire mass of Earth just to hold onto a mere 15 PSI of atmosphere, it's a difficult effect to replicate.

@BernieDogBear @DoofisMannfred @MattB_M2M A string and a weight is all you need to determine the local up-down direction line.

The direction to Polaris as seen from the weight gives you another line.

Two intersecting lines give you an angle.

No "floor" is needed.

2,300 year old wisdom, dude.

@BernieDogBear @DoofisMannfred @LevEyal111 @MattB_M2M We need two lines to make an angle, but that diagram has only one line.

If you would like to choose another point 'Q' on the curve, then we could measure the angle between that line and the line to Q, or the angle between the two curve points' tangent lines.

@ThatGuyM88 @KarenBe39842082 "A simpler explanation is that gas needs a barrier"

That's a claim, not an explanation.

So you acknowledge the pressure gradient. Do you acknowledge that pressure approaches zero above some altitude?

@BernieDogBear @DoofisMannfred @LevEyal111 @MattB_M2M That's a single tangent line touching a curve at a single point 'P'.
