@matrix I suspect is the software raid caching data in memory, something linux loves to do when there is a lot of space memory to abuse.

As disappointed as I have been in Rand Paul, who is a disgrace to the Paul name from a political standpoint I have to say, Ron Paul is still the man, love this dude!

@matrix Thats not as uncommon as you think. Thats the whole reason multiple runs are done on benchmarks... Keep in mind there is disk level caches, system level caches, as well as other applications you may have running as well (or even system level processes).

@surasanji What I'm more concerned with is how you learned this.

@josias

It runs strong in every topic, some, like science, have mechanisms to help keep it in check, but those in every vocation are and always will be riddled with it.

@stux I swear for a moment that dog was walking on water :)

@marathon

if snow fell on water that wasnt cold enough yet to freeze wouldnt it just melt? I never heard of a lack covered in snow but not ice.

As for prevailing winds, I dont think so, not on an open surface like a lake, but maybe something at play I dont realize. If there were a wall or something to obstruct the wind then I could see the wind direction playing a role.

@khird

Ahh, I missed your point that it was an ice sheet calving... that would make sense yea.

@datatitian

@khird

Strictly speaking that is only true twice a year during the equinox. At all other times of the year there will be locations in the northern or southern hemisphere where the shadows move opposite the direction you described.

Of course as far as over simplifications go its correct enough, all the counter-examples to the scenario you describe would occur between the latitudinal lines of the tropic of cancer and the topic of capricorn. Outside of these two latitudes what you said would hold true 100% of the time as far as I know.

@hanswolters I have a sleep disorder, getting to sleep on time, let alone early, is nearly impossible for me. Luckily the disorder doesnt limit the quality or length of my sleep, just when I can go to bed. So naps are a near impossiblity since they tend to mean falling asleep much earlier than bed time.

@pthenq1 Not sure exactly, late 30s somewhere

I just told my best friend, who happens to be a ridiculously physically beautiful woman:

"Thank you for being a beautiful person I would love even if you were ugly... thats so special"

I meant it too :)

I really wasnt expecting this to happen from just one side...

@datatitian

I just took a nap.. a NAP!!! I honestly think this is the first time I ever took a nap in my entire adult life. Dont get me wrong Ive fallen asleep before mid day, but i didnt wake up for 6+ hours when I do, so I wouldn't count that... no I feel asleep and woke up somewhat refreshed just an hour or so later.. this is ground breaking! A new state of being, I must do this again!

@ScumbagDog Its hardly limited to religion. Most people decide their opinions first, usually based on who has the same opinion (a desire to fit in) or to coincide with other existing beliefs (like the world being 4000 years old). The next step is to find sources that agree with what they decided to was true and then pretend that they it is true because of those sources, so it sounds authoritative and not just pulled out of their ass.

The bible just happens to do a great job as one of those sources because it is vaguely worded and seemingly contradictory so it can be twisted to say almost anything they want it to say.

How the bible was supposed to be interpreted, for all those people out there who seem to have it backwards...
