Marduk Show Shut Down For "Preaching Satanism" And Being An "Affront To Christian Values"

"In case you haven't already noticed, Marduk is the shit of God." -Marduk, at a Marduk show I went to 11 years ago.

I still vividly remember the quote. It was delivered with a thick and awesome accent.

There was a time in my life when I used to get an after-work beer at the same bar literally every night. And I mean literally--over the course of the summer, I worked 10 or more hours a day for 106 days straight. That single beer (or two (or three)), served by bartenders who knew me at a heavily discounted rate, was my one moment of relaxation and enjoyment each day.

But one night I didn't go. I had had a particularly brutal shift at work, and wanted to just go buy some groceries and go straight home. It was the only night that summer I didn't stop in for a drink.

When I went in the next night, the bartenders couldn't believe I had missed it--Tom Brady (New England Patriots Quarterback, for those not in the US) had come by with his girlfriend Bridget Moynahan and had a few drinks.

I am the biggest Patriots fan ever, and to a Patriots fan, TOM BRADY IS GOD. I was convinced the bartenders were fucking with me, but they proceeded to show me cell phone pics, etc., as proof. Well shit.

This is the most interesting question I've heard posed in a while.

I think that, in reality, the answer would be that there'd be enough "give" in the spaces between the teeth of the gears that you'd end up spending eons waiting for the "slack" to be taken up, but after that, I'm not sure.

Interestingly, if you ignored friction/torque issues, were you to rotate the gear in cement at a rate of 1 rpm, the teeth on the gear all the way to the right would be moving 4.2x10²¹ m/s, which is 14 trillion times the speed of light.

This assumes that the circumference of each gear is 0.5 meters, and that special relativity is, um, ignored.

Determining which gear would be the first to exceed the speed of light will be an exercise left for the reader.

His point about the friction is valid though. Due to beer I cannot do the calculations right now, but I estimate that you would need a metric shit-ton of torque.

Sounds like you also FUCKINGLOVEMATH.

I counted 24 gears, and I estimated a 1-10 gear ratio and a rotation rate for the first gear of 0.5 rotations per second. (Just rough guesses.)

(1/10)²⁴ * 0.5 = yields a rotation rate for the final gear of 5x10^-25 rotations per second. So in one thousand years it will make 1.6x10^-14 rotations.

If we assume that the circumference of the final gear is half a meter, and we take the diameter of an atom to be 1x10^-10 m, then this thing can run nonstop for 6250 years before the final gear has shifted the teeth of the gear over by a single atom's diameter.

Phobos is not spherical. The outline is strange/asymmetrical so that when assembled it matches the actual, non-spherical shape of the moon.

I was sitting by myself in a bar once, drinking a beer and having dinner.

There was one open stool and it was next to me. In walks my ex-girlfriend. It was an awkward breakup that had occurred only a week or two earlier. But it would have been more awkward if she hadn't taken the open stool next to me, so she sat down.

Not wanting to talk to her, and not wanting to appear as lonely and miserable as I truly was, I pulled out my cellphone and being having a fake conversation on it.

I'm going on for a minute or two, making pretend plans for later with pretend friends on this pretend call, pausing often to let the phantom party on the other end of the line speak, and she is hearing every word. Right when I'm getting ready to wrap it up, saying something to the effect of "ok, so I'll meet all you guys O'Flanagans in 45 minutes," I receive an incoming call.

My very unique and very loud ringtone nearly deafens me and I pull the phone away from my ear in horror, only to see her looking at me with a expression on her face evenly divided between pity, contempt, and the effort to surpress an outbreak of wild laughter.

It's a "someone accidentally phoned me" moment, but I feel it still counts.

I've posted this on reddit somewhere before, but my brother had a high school history teacher who insisted on calling the subject "His/Herstory" because calling it History "ignored and belittled" all of the contributions made by women to the history of ~~mankind.~~ man/womankind.

Phobos is the larger of Mars' two moons. It's about 14 miles in diameter and orbits Mars every 7.7 hours. More about Phobos at wikipedia.)

This is my second consecutive space-related map. Should I quit positing space stuff or, does any map in the universe qualify for mapporn, so long as it is interesting?

What did eight say to infinity? "Dude, are you OK?"

I have another chemistry-themed joke about oxygen and potassium, but it's not very good either it's just OK.

I second this.

I wrote one particular post on Reddit with an unpopular message contained within... nobody ever knew or said anything.

I arrested someone I ran into once. He wasn't hurt too bad, booked him for jaywalking.

High speed train my ass.

Acela "high speed" train: 3 hours, 30 minutes

Regular amtrak (NE regional): 4 hours, 10 minutes

20% faster--big fucking deal.

Since there was no one around to hear the Big Bang when it occurred, no one is quite sure.

However, recently scientists have been trying to answer this question by conducting small scale tests involving trees in remote forests. The trees are rigged with explosive shape charges to be felled on command while no one is around, and the audio signature of the tree crashing to the ground is recorded digitally. After the recordings are collected scientists will be able to determine the sound level of an average tree makes in the absence of a listener. By multiplying this average by the number of trees in the universe scientists will have an idea of how loud the Big Bang was.
