The lengths are correct; unfortunately, the creators of this map chose to create a straight line connecting the touchdown and lifting points of the tornadoes, rather than representing their true paths. There are a few well-known (and thus easy to pick out) tornadoes on this map whose paths were certainly not straight…
That is a myth and a wrong one at that. Tornadoes have been known to cross mountains, descend canyons and destroy skyscrapers. As a counterexample to your specific myth, I suggest looking at the Shinnston tornado of 1944.
480 by 320 on 3.5 inches? Yikes... That being said, I wouldn't call this a tough phone... My sister can throw her Casio GZ'One into a wall, has dropped it into a toilet (an unused toilet, thank goodness) and has had it stepped on by multiple horses. I don't see this phone surviving those disasters (except maybe the…
I don't think it's that unreasonable. It said the camera was sold at a house a mile away from Scott's mother's residence. It was probably a friend's camera.

That's fine if you believe that you can't own intellectual property, but art (creative writing, visual art, music, dance, etc...) is something akin to, but distinctly different than intellectual property. An artist is very often putting the very essence of their person into their work and when someone takes that…
You're clearly not someone who makes a living creating things; if you were, you would understand how it feels (as well as the practical implications) when someone takes something you've put your mind and heart into and uses it as their own.
Favorite show.
I used to be squeamish watching videos like that too; then, I watched the first three seasons of "The Office." :P
Not to mention, I assume the intent was for humor, not political implications, thus, the choice of Clinton and not Bush.
That last sentence made my stomach curl. Why is the work of someone who works with text any less important? You could make the same argument in my field. I'm a composer and everyone knows the music industry is full of borderline plagiarism, but if I heard one of my pieces note for note on the radio with no…
I had a very similar class - terrifying at first, one of my favorites by the end. :)
Math makes science possible.
Your arguments are incorrect.
Your argument is wrong because there is no injective map from your set of decimals between zero and one to the primes; in other words, no matter what function (in this context, a rule mapping one thing in the first set to the second) you come up with, I can always come up with something in the first set that is not…
No problem! I'm always happy to chat about math. Is this an analysis class you're taking?
This is actually analysis, not number theory.
Did you just make a Continuum Hypothesis joke? Major awesomesauce.
It's not really a pigeon hole principle argument; the generalization of the the pigeon hole argument to infinite sets is tautological as it takes on the the very definition that gives rise to the ordering of infinite cardinals, namely: the set A has cardinality greater than set B if and only if there does not exist an…
