Humbled by the Universe

[windy_miller]

The universe is just a concept to me.

Well its a physical entity to me, and it humbles me. Can you please start a new thread about the use of language rather than hijacking every thread to pick holes in people's grammar?

Cool. To each their own.

[worm]

It's all right, you don't need to tell me why.

I grew tired. Mostly of you. Partly of others you banned. And just talking on the net in general.

I love the slip there. Particularly as you were being picky about language earlier.

I don't follow. Did I do something awesome by accident again?

I fucking hate the misuse of random.

EDIT: Ah yes, well spotted.

- that's a part of it, the rest you've posted about.

- Only one banned, that you never interacted with anyway.

- So your usual avoidance of accuracy in favour of fantasies shows your absence hasn't changed you.

much more than you hate the mis-use of 'arbitrary', as you've so adequately proven with your mis-use of 'arbitrary' in wrongly saying that 'random' was being mis-used. :lol:

One could say the arbitrary use of arbitrary. But one couldn't say the random use of random. Would you like to let it go and stop derailing?

There is no rest. They're the only reasons.

How do you know how many people you've banned that I interact with? There's been several over the years.

Go on then, names?

Or is this another of your fantasies, just perhaps?

[eFestivals]

you could, and you probably would.

But that would just be a further misuse of arbitrary by you..... Unless there's no reason for why you go off on this worthless bollocks? :lol:

[worm]

you could, and you probably would.

I just did. Mainly because I'm awesome.

Edit: How do you pm?

I just looked at your profile, and you don't seem to have an option there to be sent a message.

You should try looking at Ampersand's I think he's around -300.

[worm]

I'm honoured.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I've just looked too and can confirm that there's no link to send PM's there. Strange.

They'll be more later in the year;

On October 21, the annual Orionid meteor shower will reach its peak, lighting up the skies with glowing debris from the famed Halley's Comet.

In November, the annual Leonid meteor shower will make a comeback. It peaks on November 17. In mid-December, the Geminid meteor shower will cap off the year's natural light shows.

They'll be more later in the year;

More rain clouds in Ireland too Ill bet!

I dont know how true it is, but I read somewhere that an asteroid about the size of a football pitch contains more valuable minerals than have EVER been mined on earth.

Mind blowing...

[nightcrawler13]

I saw this for the first time last week, that blue dot is the earth over a billion miles away taken by a satellite...

is it weird it almost made me cry? Everything to ever exist in the history of mankind, a simple pixel.

[Ed209]

Technically, a satellite is something in orbit. This was taken from one of the Voyagers, their not in orbit, they're spacecraft heading to interstellar space.

But agreed, the picture is incredible.
