Please, they're called: iSheeple. "iSheeple Pathetically slavish devotees of Apple Computers who blindly embrace any product hawked by their turtle-necked tech messiah Steve Jobs. The iSheeple are, as a general rule, more interested in Apple products as fashion accessories and will buy several permutations of the same item in order to stay "current", even when that device has obvious design flaws and is liable to break under even normal usage conditions (see: iPhone 4) or cause the user actual physical harm (see: overheating Macbooks). Rather than picking the best tool for the job, iSheeple choose the Apple alternative every time, paying over the odds for a product that is not as useful as it should be (see: iPad). Ignoring well-reasoned arguments from less biased computer enthusiasts everywhere, they will never truly be convinced that Apple products are overrated. For iSheeple the mind-numbing simplicity of the various Apple operating systems is actually comforting: a real power operating system would only leave them huddled over in a corner shaking uncontrollably and sobbing that iTunes can't run their lives and tell them what to buy next anymore. More extreme iSheeple will decorate non-Apple products with the now ubiquitous fruit silhouette logo, even going so far as to have the icon tattooed onto their skin in an overwhelming display of blind conformity. Such is their unswerving quasi-religious devotion they are classed as acceptable targets and should be mocked whenever possible. Even the usually infallible Stephen Fry is a notorious Apple bore and figurehead of the irritating iSheeple masses."

My grandmother 9. First 8 all girls until #9 a boy! How'd you like to be him! Also, my cousin is older than my uncle. That means my grandmother (in her 40s) had a child after her daughter (my aunt, father's sister). This was in the 1950s...

Was Larry Bird the best 3 point shooter ever?
ExiledInIllinois replied to Another Fan's topic in Off the Wall
The rank Bird #8 out of 10 here: "When the 3-point line was first introduced, only 3.1% of the total shot attempts were made from beyond the arc. In today's era, we cannot imagine a team winning a game without scoring from downtown. The significance of this shot was proved beyond any doubt when Steph Curry and Klay Thompson won the NBA championship in 2015 with 3-pointers as their main weapon. In this article, we'll take a look at the top 10 best 3-point shooters in the history of the league." https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/top-10-best-3-point-shooters-nba-history "Even if Larry Bird's 3-point percentage doesn't stand out among the rest, he was among the best shooters in the league when it came to clutch game-winning shots. He won the first-ever 3-point contest and made a name for himself with his ability to shoot highly contested, off-balance 3s. The 3-time NBA champion is regarded as one of the best NBA players of all time." -

A walk in the park? "...Compared to the difficulties with studying the ocean, learning about space is a walk in the park..." So there's life on Jupiter like at the bottom of our oceans? Just like our sun... It's pretty much simpler than right next door in our oceans. We have a better understanding of Venus than the bottom of our oceans. Infinity isn't scary. Right next to us is.

What? Are you scared too about the statement we know less about our oceans right next to us than a frozen methane ocean a zillion miles away? And here we thought infinity was scary when people are scared with sh... right next to us! π

You're missing the point. K.I.S.S. The cosmos are rather simple to observe. "...Compared to the difficulties with studying the ocean, learning about space is a walk in the park. Humans have been able to study the cosmos since essentially the beginning of time by simply looking up at the stars. The telescope, a quintessential part of astronomy, has been used for studying the night sky since Galileo first pointed it upwards in 1609 (via the Library of Congress). ..."

This is what I meant. https://www.thenakedscientists.com/articles/questions/do-we-know-space-better-our-oceans "Question: Do we know more about space or about our oceans? Answer: Sam got in touch to ask if it's true that we know more about space than we do about our oceans. Chris Smith put this question to ecologist Danni Green from Anglia Ruskin University... Danni - In short I'd say yes it is. Particularly if you're talking about... understanding the topography and the shape of the oceans. So for example technically we have got 100 percent of the oceans mapped but the resolution is to 5000 metres whereas we've mapped 98 percent of Venus to 100 metres resolution. Chris - So we do know quite a bit about quite a few places but not necessarily the bottom of the sea. ..."

Reuben sammiches today, fish fry yesterday. Wasn't checking, did the Pope give special dispensation to eat meat yesterday? He usually does when St.Patrick's Day (which is always during Lent) falls on a Friday.

You know what the scary part is? We know more about the universe than our oceans that are right next to us.
