Thanks - Astronomical thought for the day

I'm going to quote this from Talk:Solar_radiation and use it in my physics class today:

“Astronomical numbers are so mind-boggling, it's hard to imagine how any human can handle them. Manipulate, yes—but truly grasp? And yet, as far as we know, human consciousness is the best resource the universe has for being aware of itself!” Hertz1888 04:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

By the way, I happened upon your comment after reading up on Ackermann’s function and Graham’s number, so pure math had me primed for this sentiment.

nsaum75 wishes you peace!

nsaum75 has given you a falafel sandwich! Falafel sandwiches are a specialty of the Middle East. With a little tahini and maybe a spicy sauce, they are delicious and promote WikiLove. Hopefully, this one has added flavor to your day.

Spread the goodness of falafel by adding {{subst:Falafel}} to someone's Talk page with a friendly message! Give a falafel sandwich to someone you've had disagreements with in the past, or to a good friend.

Thanks! It has indeed added flavor. Yum! "Eat hummus. Give chick peas a chance." (author unknown). Hertz1888 (talk) 21:26, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I came across this article and thought I would share it with you, as it seems to touch on areas you occasionally edit. Warm Regards, -- nsaum75  04:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

תיקון עולם

Peace is nothing more than a lull in a battle; a time during which each side steps back in order to tend their wounds and refine their fighting techniques. Sadly, the best we can hope for in olam ha'zeh is a momentary stalemate. However we must never forget tikkun olam. For our reality is nothing but a boat adrift on water, balanced by permanent uncertainty... --nsaum75 05:14, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

The one sided nature of things here gets really old. Its sad to watch. Transgressions should be punished, but equally so. --nsaum75 05:17, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

A beer for you!

Planetary tides

This idea is often brought up, for the simple reason that the beat frequency of the Jupiter and Saturn orbits more or less matches the length of the solar cycle. However when analyzed in detail, and there is literature beyond what's in New Scientist, the tidal forces have been shown to be utterly negligible relative to the body forces in the convection zone that drive the dynamo and hence make sunspots. I couldn't read the New Scientist article on line, but I did check out the other reference and found it to be based on an obviously flawed report that never got published.

Clearly much more to this than I ever imagined. I respect your analysis. Thanks for sharing it with me. Hertz1888 (talk) 21:02, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Harvard Bridge linking

I figured I'd get it started, and if I got anything wrong, someone would fix it. :-) - Denimadept (talk) 21:12, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

no

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
