    Stadium beers.

    Talk about a fucking disaster. The NFL Fans Going Goon thread would be 20x longer than any of those spaz Houston Astros threads where they are all there hyperventilating over every early May pitch like it's game 7 in the playoffs.

  2. It's really nuts how the longer and stranger this all gets that the posters on this thread and the indictment thread who used to seem measured, logical, orderly and reasonable now are starting to seem insane by continuing to be  measured, logical, orderly and reasonable whil the emotional outburst people who seemed to be teetering on the ledge on a minute by minute basis seem more and more like the sane ones.

    Fuck this guy for doing that.

    Aside from an hour long totality being silly and making no sense at all, why wouldn’t all totalities along the center line be the same length of time every eclipse?  Isn’t it just the speed of the moon and rotation of the earth?  

    Astronomy, physics and geometry and shit

    Duration

    The following factors determine the duration of a total solar eclipse (in order of decreasing importance):[33][34]

    1. The Moon being almost exactly at perigee (making its angular diameter as large as possible).
    2. Earth being very near aphelion (furthest away from the Sun in its elliptical orbit, making its angular diameter nearly as small as possible).
    3. The midpoint of the eclipse being very close to Earth's equator, where the rotational velocity is greatest and is closest to the speed of the lunar shadow moving over Earth's surface.
    4. The vector of the eclipse path at the midpoint of the eclipse aligning with the vector of Earth's rotation (i.e. not diagonal but due east).
    5. The midpoint of the eclipse being near the subsolar point (the part of Earth closest to the Sun).

    The longest eclipse that has been calculated thus far is the eclipse of July 16, 2186 (with a maximum duration of 7 minutes 29 seconds over northern Guyana).[33]

  4. Refs whistles will be the only thing over this next 10 minutes that could make it interesting.  Bigs gets in trouble for UCONN and could get Purdue back in this.

    They are up by 11 letting edey go one on one. Edey gets his - sorta - and UConn is pulling away. Edey hasn’t dominated since the 8 min mark left in the first half. So far the UConn plan is working great. No need to double team him at all. 

    They have been bringing help the entire half...including when he threw that ball into the back court.  It isn't overly committed help but just a guy there moving back and forth annoying Edey.

    And again there....Spencer

  5. We had angel H. at our semi final game today. He cost us chance to play for championship. This is how he was set up most of the game. Bases loaded no outs top of last inning. Lilshep just drove in 2 to give us the lead. He rung our kid on pitch that was in other batters box for 2nd out. Then rung up next kid on pitch that crossed at logo on batting helmet. Bottom of last inning they got 2 on with 1 out. Thier coach yelled at our pitcher causing a balk. We lost but it sucked for our kids cause they know they got screwed 263f1482e10c359a55afb32c8ffcef13.jpg

    Umps not setting up correctly drives me nuts. It will not improve through HS though.
