Then vs Now

[Ernie S.]

Actually I never attended college. Please forgive me for not using the most technical terms.

I do understand the functions of plane and solid geometry though my terms and references might not satisfy you. When I completed an electronics course in the mid 1960's we did all our calculations with a slide rule. At that time it was the only choice except pencil and paper. Do you know anything about the slide rule

Will Rogers said, "We're All Ignorant, Just About Different Things!"

I knew about steradians in high school, back when I used a slide rule. I wish I had kept the one I had, it was great, and a lot more effective if I want to get someones attention than any calculator I ever owned. It is a lot easier to figure radians than degrees on a slide rule, even if the conversion between them was a simple matter of setting the index of the C scale to 1743 and simply reading the answer on the D scale. (Actually, there was a little symbol there that I have no idea how to get on my keyboard, nor do I remember what it is called.)

LOL........my son has mine and he has already taught his 12 year old son how to use it. My son got his BS at Case Western and his masters in systems engineering at VPI. He has been in the upper 1 percentile income group of all technical employees in America for the last five years.

Since you only mentioned the C and D scales I figure you jumped on the Google and copied an idea or two

Republican, huh? You must be mortified.

The goat herders believed in witchcraft and thought the earth was flat. People who were afraid to be alone at night and sought cover in a cave because they slept in the dark were mortified by the environment. There was no light except that which came from oil or continuing flames. There was no transporation faster than walking....especially for more than one traveler. Religion is major bullshit based upon basic primordial instinct. Folks......get your shit together.

Hey Cammmpbell:
Do you also advocate throwing out "all government and laws"
because those have become just as corrupted and abused as religions have been?

Anything, any laws, rules, institutions or authorities
become corrupted with fear-based bullying and unfair competition between groups.

If you reject all religions and churches,
do you also reject all government and corrupt politics for the same reasons?

Or, if you have faith that political corruption can be checked and corrected
by ENFORCING the laws that government SHOULD BE FOLLOWING

Can you also see that the religious and church groups stand to be corrected the same way?
By ENFORCING the principles they are SUPPOSED to be living by?

Please be consistent. Don't just attack one type of group, when the same
human flaws and fear-based oppressions have corrupted and befallen
ALL HUMAN INSTITUTIONS.

Yours truly,
Emily

here are some basic civil policies
that if enforced consistently would
allow ALL institutions and policies to be corrected:

I have no problem with our laws......it's the idiocy of lies left for us by primitive mankind which make my ass crave buttermilk.

I was talking specifically about converting radians to degrees, that number stuck on my head for decades, 1 degree is .01743 radians. I also know pi to 13 decimal places because my first calculator was that accurate, no better. If I still had a slide rule I would talk about all the other scales. My friend had a circular slide rule, which was a little more accurate, but I preferred mine. I tried to find a picture similar to it on Google, but came up empty. It was about 2 inches wide, 18 long, made of wood, and had a large magnifier on the indicator. Nothing I saw comes close.

Completely ignored my post about my son and grandson. Go For It!!

You were reminiscing, I was reminiscing. Old farts do that all the time, and they never actually pay attention to each other.

Hey Numbnuts! I worked 41 years for one company. The last 25 years I supervised and managed the activities in one of the largest mainframe computing centers in the se U S. I had from 22 to 41 computing and telecommunications employees and security specialists reporting to me. I've gotcher goddamned brain cell a schwangin'.

Who cares about all your years of whatever. The truth still eludes you though. Stop blaming everyone and God. If you do not like criticism stop posting stupidity.

The most stupid and illogical ideas in the history of the world are contained in one Jewish book and they don't even believe the new testament themselves.

Just remember Cammmpbell
Magic and Myths is what science can't explain yet.
Though science we can now, with artificial insemination get a virgin pregnant.
If mankind can do it, I'm sure that God could.
Through science we have learned how sound vibrations made the walls of Jericho fall.

Science knows there's no neccessity to explain magic, myths, fables and old wive's tales. I've seen enough magic shows to know it's nothing but another load of deception and horse shit. Just think of how easy those who practiced magic with the goat herders had it. Hell....they would even believe in virgin birth, walking on water, healing leprosy by touching, turning water into wine, resurrection etc.

At least you are a consistent liar. At your age I hope you find the truth quick because the way your going your future is awfully warm.

The standard Christian threat.

What happened to Turn The Other Cheek, Walk The Extra Mile, Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You, Love They Neighbor, Love Thine Enemies, Pray For Those Who Curse And Despise You etc. Don't forget Be Ye Therefore Perfect Even As The Father In Heaven Is Perfect.

Not a threat. I do pray for all unbelievers. There you go again proving by quoting the very word of God who you claim not to believe in, you really believe, you just deny.

What a great guy is that God of yours. He gave people the ability be reason, but sends them to Hell for using that ability.

 

[earlycuyler]

so people were afraid of the dark and and sought a dark cave to sleep in?

People were not so stupid even when they lived in caves. You are only afraid of the dark when you don't know what is around you. That is why most of us have no trouble sleeping in a dark bedroom.

LMAO! Dark bedroom. You ever hear of the desert around White Sands Proving Grounds

'Course I had an automatic weapon and a .45 sidearm to comfort me LOL

The primitives were constantly overcome by their fears. It's reflected in every chapter of the bible. Their imagination conjured up some supreme idol who lived UP

Little did they know that twelve hours later UP became DOWN. Kinda interesting that churches still put those pointed steeples on their buildings and that in each and every 24 hour period that thing points to each and every one of 360 degrees around the earth. It points down just as much as it points up. They ought to catch heaven and god in there somewhere.

Most folks that are scared of the dark use a night light. You are slipping with your bull shit again.
