I also went to Greece at the start of April - did a lot of walking!

That's like 3000 km, right?

 

[Mise]

~0.75m per step, so yeah

 

[dutchfire]

Could've walked to Greece.

 

[Kyriakos]

Could've walked to Greece.

If one trusts the HappyZebra ( ) the distance is roughly 2400 Kilometres?

Maybe nearer 3K if he started in Gibraltar, from where he actually could just walk all the way (edit, no, that is almost 4K!, so maybe if he takes the eurochannel train, he can then walk for closer to 3K).

 

[Atticus]

That was the joke I was trying to make.

In reality Mise walked ~300 km in April. (It's easy to confuse 300 and 3000 km, since 100 cm = m, but 1000 m = km).

^Isn't that map just a 'this is my politics' one? I mean... Ukraine is more stable than Russia? Ok. Not sure why Britain is 'stable' now either. It basically looks like a set stereotype map.

Lol at super-mighty Finland too

Man, I really can't do basic maths anymore. Excel has ruined me!

 

[Arakhor]

You mean that your maths is now Excellent?

 

[Traitorfish]

Spoiler :

What's up with Japan?

 

[Atticus]

Finland #1!

Man, I really can't do basic maths anymore. Excel has ruined me!

That's why I do all the possible maths in my head. I also avoid using tables or anything like that. For example, I've lately calculated the integral of (essentially) 1/sqrt(1+x^2) many times over by substitution, even though I could've just checked my previous calculations. I take it as an exercise that slows down dementia.

Anyhow, it doesn't prevent doing stupid mistakes. I do them all the time. It's especially easy if you're expecting the result, like in this case.

To keep it on-topic, here's a chart of the viewers of GoT:

What's up with Japan?

Don't really know. They've got some odd results there. May have to go looking for the original article.

 

[stfoskey12]

Here are estimates of past global temperatures going back hundreds of millions of years.

 

[Arakhor]

I wonder why 'Cretaceous' has been abbreviated to 'K'.

English has not always been the language of science you know.

Spoiler :

German

 

[Arakhor]

I'm well aware of that. Sir Isaac Newton wrote the Principia Mathematica in Latin, after all.

I was more commenting on using apparently foreign abbreviations when writing the legend in English.

I suppose it's convention. C is already used for the Carboniferous era.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, Wikipedia agrees with you. 'K' is used because kreide is the German word for chalk, presumably derived from the Latin word creta.

Crudely speaking, then, critics either love a film or hate it - there's only one outside the 'love' band between 100% and 85% and the 'hate' band between 10% and about 35%.

Well, it is possible for a film to have a 100% Tomatometer score if every critic agreed thwt the movie is mediocre but OK, deserving of a 6/10, whereas if all critics agreed on a 5.9 score, the film would have a 0% Tomatometer. So, the Tomatometer is more a measure of consensus on whether a film is better or worse than 'average', so to speak, than a measure of overall quality. This means that you can have a universally mediocre film with a very high tomatometer but a low aggregated score side by side with a divisive film that drws more praise from those who love it than derision from those who hate it.

So independence day 2 cost roughly 3,5 times as much to make than Gods of Egypt?

I doubt the latter can be even worse...
