When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...

...that's a moray!

Here be dragons:

Came face to face with one of those before, while snorkeling amongst the corals...

"Uhhhh... nice kitteh... I'm gonna back up now, nice... and... slow..."

I petted one once. Not sure it was a great idea...but it was situational...and in the moment.

Got really used to them on dives in South FL. Like the barracudas that would follow us around, always maintaining a certain distance of a few feet, no matter if you moved toward them or away.

I have an experiment for the first. Start 2 people at the equator 1000 km apart. When they reach the north pole, measure the distance between them.

Then there is geodesics. Consider an aeroplane. The most efficient method of travel from point A to point B is a straight line. However, when this straight line of travel is transposed upon a sphere, it is not straight at all. It is geodesic. This is the explanation for the proposed experiment. If the Earth is flat, the two individuals will never meet. If the Earth is a sphere, they with converge at the apex.

Let's meet at the equator and go for a walk. You owe me a beer if we meet at the top. Cheers.

I would love to share a few drinks sir.

I do have a couple of observations however. If we are both walking with a compass to tell us where the north pole is, when we get there, we will be in the same place. a compass always points to the north pole. no matter where you start you will get to the north pole from following the way a compass points. EVEN IF THE EARTH IS FLAT.

I agree that airplanes use straight lines to get from one part of the earth to another.

and just because I'm feeling frisky

No joke. let's get a beer! ✌

Now I know why I've been getting more catcalls of late...

And, Fonedork , you've finally made clear why the IPA is called "Torpedo".

Damn it man, you're a genius!

Hey B, I’ll make a legitimate contribution to your K-18 fund, but you know which one I want, and it
isn’t one of these. I’m just a PM away……

Or bazookas...as we used to say outside of the earshot of polite society.

I miss those back in the day, anti-aircraft brassieres.

Funny, I was just thinking of looking for one of those images and posting it...but what would Jo think of me?

(She probably already suspects that I'm an irredeemable miscreant.)

I haven't tried that Sierra Nevada one, I will check it out. My current favorite IPA is "Now Youse Can't Leave," it has no business being as smooth as it is.

 

[Blues]

Love that scene in the movie.

Haven't come across that one...I'll keep an eye out for it.

Try the "Torpedo". I think you'll like it. (It's only 7.2% ABV.)

LOL, can’t do it!

I’m really just trying to keep the boot dagger : k-18 ratio in my home at 1:1…all I need is one more k-18!

No.

when does a compass not point north?

True North vs magnetic North.

It's why top notch compasses have declination adjustment ability.

you just said that compasses point north bro.

whether true north or magnetic north you'd need a compass to get there

also please explain declination adjustment
