Well, for starters, it's been raining 2 days straight, there's been lots of flooding ( and the water level in the lake is down ), it's 36 degrees Fahrenheit ( 2 degrees Celsius ) it's the middle of middle of April so, if we haven't done so already, income taxes must be filed by 15/04/2013. Damn! Can life get any better than that?
I love the rain. One of my favorite things to do when I lived near the Sound was to open my windows wide, and let the rain in. Also walking on a rainy beach looking for fulgarites is awesome. Used to help me when ever I felt alone or down. Dont get much rain here in the desert, just a face full of dry heat and dust. Whenever I long for it to rain I listen to Staind's It's raining again.
Is the world really three quarters water like they taught us in school did they account for all the living things in it cause if you take them out how much actual water would you have . Think of a glass of water and ice the water goes up take it out water goes down.
That would be a 'US' fluid ounce, which = 29.574 ml.
However, an 'Imperial' fluid ounce, used or formerly used by virtually all the rest of the English speaking World, = 28.413 ml. (or weighs that amount in grams).
I have found that while many folks in Canada, 'OZ', Britain, etc. know that their pints (20 oz.), quarts (40 oz.), gallons, etc. are different from the US sizes, most are/were unaware that the 'fluid ounces' are also different sizes. [Eg: A 12 ounce bottle of Canadian beer is c. 11.5 US ounces.]
Good info, sin . In OZ ( lol), there's only one really one class of material/good/product that is usually measured using the imperial system . Other than that we are completely metric --------------------------------------- added after 9 minutes
Not 100% true, just thought about it - random little things like boat lengths are usually stated in feet, aren't they...and we refer, less often than the imperial system dominant world, to our individual heights in feet and inches too
OK, I'll bite, what is that "one ... product that is usually measured" 'imperially' in OZ?
Other "random little things" might be automobile wheel sizes (which I believe are in inches most everywhere), TV/monitor screen sizes (measured diagonally), elevation above sea level for air traffic control, etc. ??
While I hope to hear your weight is not in 'stones' anymore, that pint of beer in your pubs (that's 19 US fl. oz. in 'amerikan'), doesn't quite have the same 'ring' called '568 ml. of beer', eh non?
Weigh a steak, dehydrate it, and weigh it again void of fluid. To determine how much water was in the steak: subtract ending weight from starting weight. The difference is the amount of water in weight. Then you can convert to whatever you want. 1 fluid ounce of water WEIGHS 29.574 grams and is equal to 29.574 ml. I used weight unless you know how to squeeze all of the water out of a steak and into a graduated cylinder.
But if you remove all the living organisms and boats that are displacing all the water in the world oceans you would expose more land making the earth covered in more land than water . There are a lot of living things from whales to phytoplankton corals shell fish not to mention plant life every square foot of water from the surface to the deep abyess has living things --------------------------------------- added after 27 minutes
To go even deeper on this random bullshit do the really know the rising sea levels are do to global warming melting glaciers or maybe sea creatures are fucking like crazy and reproducing and they have not accounted for that .
The best guess at the Earth's water volume is an approximation because of the reasons you listed. If they removed everything that causes displacement it would still be an astronomical number.
The standered gauge for US train rail is 4 foot 8.5 inches . That is an odd number you asked why . It was set by the railway workers in England . Why because they were the ones who first built wagons and used the same tools and jigs for train wheels . Why were wagons made at that gauge ? They made the wagon wheels to Mach the existing ruts in the stone roadways . Well how did the ruts get there . The Romans horse drawn chariotes created the ruts . So why did the Romans use that scale ? Because it is the exact measurement off the center of two war horses ass holes that would pull the chariots . So next time you call someone a horses ass it just might be a compliment because the engineers who built the space shuttle had to take in account for a tunnel just wider than the rail 4 foot 8.5 when the designed the solid fuel rockets that are placed on ether side of the large fuel tank . So a horses ass had alot to do with the most advanced transportation design in the world .
Spite motivates in the absence of any rational context for making progress and in the knowledge that all your effort will most likely come to nothing. Grad studies are killing me......
I miss Twinkies. Tried a new imposter called dreamycakes, the yellow spongey bastards are filled with this cheap yucky lard stuff. Sigh. Id give one hell of a blowjob for an actual hostess brand twinkie.
Twinkies are a comfort food for me. I know they are bad for you, but I like one every now and then when I'm stressing or sharkweek happens to be on like now. Keeps me from being moody and bitchy while pms'ing. I can bake, but don't feel like it.
Twinkies are like roaches both can service nuclear explosion in harmed not gonna touch one . Mabey I should completely cover my house in them make it a bomb shelter
Well at least it has an excuse that its a dog, and that's how they roll. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting some people that have straight up asshole breath just cause.
I'm sorry that you think I'm giving you the "stink eye", that's so far from being the truth. I haven't caught my breath or wiped the tears from my eyes from the BIG chuckle I had. Ya gotta look at fairydust's page, she's standing on a chair cuz ( these are her words ) she's hella short!

Just heard that it's Canada's "fault" that we in the States, are experiencing such cold weather. It has something to do with the Polar Vortex that is happening around a large body of water called Hudson Bay. Countries go to war for petty things...... If anyone else is fighting mad that it's still in the low 30's in the month of April, we can meet at the Windsor/Detroit Tunnel and infiltrate Canada together. There's strength in numbers!
I would, with kindness , suggest bella, that you read about the War of 1812 to 1814, where the USA attacked Canada, (Canadian Geographic Magazine, Jan. 2012 can explain). You want the USA to lose again?
Yes, of course, you are quite right, but I meant 'Upper Canada' (now Ontario) as it was called then, and 'Lower Canada' (now Québec), which were 2 parts of BNA.
At least your first language is english (or is it?). It's common for people from non-english speaking countries to have their opinions ignored after the first grammatical error, even if they could contribute to a discussion.
The AMOUNT of water does not.
Removing a fish from a pond doesn't make the pond less wet...
1 fluid ounce of water weighs 29.574 grams
The body is made up of different fluids and have different weights per fluid ounce.
However, an 'Imperial' fluid ounce, used or formerly used by virtually all the rest of the English speaking World, = 28.413 ml. (or weighs that amount in grams).
I have found that while many folks in Canada, 'OZ', Britain, etc. know that their pints (20 oz.), quarts (40 oz.), gallons, etc. are different from the US sizes, most are/were unaware that the 'fluid ounces' are also different sizes. [Eg: A 12 ounce bottle of Canadian beer is c. 11.5 US ounces.]

Outside of the only non-metric country left in the World, 1 fluid ounce of water weighs 28.413 grams.

Ps, im very high right now thanks to a piece of carrot cake my friend made with cannabis flour and weed, and didn't tell me till after I had 3 pieces.
Holy hell my hands are small.
Bella I can see you looking at me all like WTF? with your eyeball. Trippy.
Ranch corn nuts smell like feet.

I think this qualifies as random bullshit, right?
I've said this before and it's worth repeating, I admire people that are multilingual.
