Would ELI5 mind answering some questions for my son? I have no idea how to answer them myself.

How do I know if the color I'm seeing is the same color you're seeing?

Color is made from when light hits an object it is reflected back to your eye. When light hits an object it is slowed down and reflects back at a different speed than when it originally hit the object. Also when light hits the object it excites all the little things that the object is made of and makes all of its little parts vibrate and give off a hue or its color. This speed/vibration is how your eye lets you know what color something is.

so far - light hits objects and bounces back its color - theoretically this means everyone should see the same color but that's only mostly true

Everyones eyes are slightly different and the way you see the color may be different than the way I see a color. I for example am red/green color blind. I still see both red and green but I don't see subtle differences in their color as well as most people do. There are several colors that the human eye cant even see such as infrared.

So the color of the world is the same for everyone but the way we actually see it is different.

Depends on the class but I would say that 99% is fluff information. What you need to use in your future career can probably be summarized on a napkin. Might have to use 10pt font, hopefully no one notices.

Sorry had to re-read your comment. I've done similar testing with my vape, you know, for science, and that is truly the way to get the most out of your product.

They don't really review often, maybe once or twice a month but most of their reviews are 30+ minutes. They critique almost everything. Sometimes its a little to much but their reviews in my opinion are usually worth it.

These guys in particular are "Half in the Bag" but the Plinkett reviews are written by them too, just narrated by the Plinkett guy. I think they also have some sketch stuff but I haven't watched any of it.

Their most famous review that turned me onto them was their Star Wars: Phantom Menace review which is about an hour long but they completely destroy it before the movie is even 10-15min in.

Jack and Jill Review/Adam Sandler scam

He basically makes cheap (money wise) movies with inflated budgets that have lots of product placement. So he can exploit it and give his friends/work crew some cash. Which is kinda cool kinda bad.

If you re-watch his movies, most of them have lots of product placement. Its kind of a slap in the face once you realize how bad he is exploiting the system but hey it works and I would do the same if I was in his position.

Man some subway/popeyes/dunkin doughnuts sounds good right now

its not that it NEEDS to be specific but if you say "he ate her out with ice cream" its doesn't really imply a lot. But if you say "he ate her out with a GALLON of ice cream" thats a lot of fucking pussy eating or a big ass gaping vagina and leave a much more impressionable image so thanks for the downvotes you fucktards. Details can turn jokes from shit to greatness.

example of lack of details - A family walks into a talent agency and does a preview of their performance and their show if full of a bunch of REALLY disgusting things and when the agent asks them their name they take a bow and say The Aristocrats

Not very funny because of lack of details vs Gilbert Gottfried's version which is only funnier because of GREAT detail. His may not be the best version but it is still far superior (funnier) than most because of very specific details.

so no, jokes don't need to be "maximum specific". But realize that details change everything and (in my opinion) this joke in particular is funnier with this detail. So think before you say something stupid, like imply that details don't matter in jokes.

You'd get a better investment by making the child work the corner than selling it out right.

child prostitution = more money over time / child selling = money quick

but then you gotta pay for the kids food and shit and thats always such a hassle so you might actually be better off just selling the damn thing

Yeah but still it is far to easy for an officer to make bullshit generic excuses that seem to actually get them out of trouble. Almost any situation can be spun into an accident or non-issue. Even if they do get in trouble for their actions it seems like its always a slap on the wrist.

"Oh I thought the kid had a gun."

"I thought I was in danger"

"He looked suspicious"

"I thought I smelled alcohol/marijuana"

"it was dark"

"i don't recall the situation"

Sorry hypothesis. I am not educated on the matter what so ever and was purely pulling things out of my ass, also I was pretty damn high when I wrote that. So I'm guessing you'll stop reading there.

We don't have much "evidence" on jupiter or on the creation of planets (that I'm aware of) so I would say that my hypothesis is sound. It is probably a far stretch that it would turn out anything like earth considering its distance from the sun and the elements that are in its planetary core. Id like to hear your assumptions or hypothesis on the matter. Or I'd like to hear what evidence I'm flying in the face of so I can at least get educated on the matter.

Theory

Jupiter is an extremely young planet and it is basically a planet in the making. Jupiter is a mix of elements swirling around a huge gravitational point. Eventually (over millions of years) the heavier elements should pull towards the center. The heavier elements are now swirling very closely together towards the center of this future planet. This is creating massive amounts of heat and friction. Its my conjecture that they would eventually melt or dissolve together and create a dense core. I also believe the creation of this core will create a strong electromagnetic field.

This core of dense metals will be surrounded by molten magma and the lighter elements in Jupiter will eventually push towards the undefined surface of this planet. The gasses will be the lightest and start cooling the outer layer of planet.

This will happen in two ways. The air moving passed the extremely hot magma will draw the heat from the surface. The planet is already a huge storm of colliding elements so water will be made (if not already) and start cooling the outer layer of magma. Eventually this outer layer of magma will cool off enough to become a solid crust. The core will eventually stabilize its spin and create a consistent north and south pole. This process of "shifting" elements into their natural plantery layers may even create an ozone layer. And possibly life but that is completely uncertain.

TL:DR Jupiter is a planet in the making and is forming the same way Earth did.

Stupid and crazy are sometimes one and the same. There is no excuse for that level of stupidity, so they must be crazy.

Just go and they can deal with it when your gone. Whats the worst they can do, ground you? Your fucking 20 and on your own already anyway, act like a man. Maybe they will take funding away or something but still this is once in a lifetime chance with some epic story potential and college is something you can pay for later if necessary. Who knows you may get in on her dads good side and never need college.

Also make sure you have a passport if your trying to leave country.

Dominos driver - Food gets made faster than we can deliver it and it sits on a warming rack until we can get to it. If its under an hour old before it gets to your door it will still be hot.

If you have ever worked fast food or delivery then you probably know how hectic things can get during a rush and how bad things can get.

Happens at least a few times a day. "Oh this was supposed to be a deep dish" or "shit that said no garlic crust". When 99% of pizzas get garlic, you're going to mess up from time to time. - experience
