Hate my dead end job but only staying because I have to financially and I've already got 17 years of state service. Actively been trying to go to another agency but I'm capped out salary wise at my position (have been for 8+ years) so I'm at a disadvantage for lateral moves. Done about 6 interviews in the last 18 months but no offers. The only pay raise I see these days is when the union gets new contracts every 3-4 years and then it's only been 3% jumps (and I think that's happened twice since I've been capped out). I'm looking at another 11 years before I can smell a pension (that I'm paying 9% of my salary into) and even then it's disadvantageous to retire until I'm 63. So...another 19 years. **** me. Btw, Captain Planet sucked. Edit..pls i hope no one thinks I'm being ungrateful..I just wish I could choose a career that has meaning and doesn't fill me with boredom and dread every day. It gives me too much time to be angry about the US. Does your union dictate that you have to pay 9% into your pension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 The local team winning makes football so much more enjoyable. If they had lost I would have been in emotional despair with the lights off and ignored football for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno why it’s not dense. black holes become black holes depending on circumference and mass ratio. I forgot what it is but it’s called something. They don’t depend on their volumes.

That's the state retirement system I'm in (everyone pays something). I get 2% x years served at 55. Goes up 2.5% x years served at 63 and older.

Neutron Stars are typically the size of large cities, Super Massive Black Holes, like the one at the center of our galaxy - Sagittarrius A, is far more massive (we think that one is size of the orbit of Mercury). It's not the density that gives you the gravity, its the mass. Teaspoon of Neutron star can be something like a million tons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I see people losing their minds, but I couldnt care less about Tiger Woods on an NFL Sunday.

PokerPacker Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Looks like it's a rather misleading statement that simply uses the event horizon to denote the volume of the black hole and simply using the mass and event horizon to come up with a density. The center of a blackhole would theoretically be a singularity; infinite density. Seems that judging the density of a black hole by its Schwarzchild radius is about as arbitrary and misleading as measuring the density of the sun using the radius of the Kuiper belt. Like the Sun's gravitational pull has resulted in the objects in the Kuiper belt orbiting around it, the gravity of the black hole has caused the space-time curiosity that is the event horizon. The difference is that we can't really observe beyond the event horizon, so that's what we have to work with. Or I'm talking out my ass and somebody will put my in my taxonomical place.

I hope I time stamped it. If not oh well go to 8:37 I don’t think using the event horizon is abritary since that’s where the black hole begins to “exist” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Just in the time it took to decide to make this post, I've seen the commercial I wanna complain about 3 times...the Shark vacuum...I know Xmas is coming up, but jeez! Otoh, the Acura commercial with Motorhead's version of Sympathy for the Devil is golden. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Redskins win or loss makes or breaks my entire weekend and following week. instant euphoria after a win that usually lasts 24 hours, instant depression that usually lasts all week after an L. I realize that's is a problem and I shouldn't care about football THAT much to where it greatly impacts my daily life......but......Redskins.

That was the moonshine talking. Also, if you guys haven't checked out Spaceman's pictures you should because the man takes some amazing shots. The black and white stuff he keeps for himself are especially cool. He even did me a favor and took a picture of me on the field, which I will treasure forever: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if either you or @PokerPacker watch "how the universe works", but first episode of season 6 is about if black holes even exist. It's not on demand yet, but I bet even more mind blowing then that video. I agree that it's an interesting idea on what the size of a black hole actually is, begining of event horizon would make sense to me give how much of the rules of physics we see in other celestial objects don't apply here. Whole thing reminds of the joke that Saturn can float in your bathtub, but itd leave a ring in it : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
