@MrChuckD @Ellect217 @ChessRec_music @GinaSpot Yuup. A really good find. Thanks for sharing. There’s also this, the opening number from The Music Man film in 1962 (Broadway 1957). A kind of a-cappella rap to the sounds of steam locomotive. What do you think? https://t.co/Blmv21mBA2 — PolitiTweet.org

(2/2) Leading with your left or right foot while racing over hurdles on an oval track in a counter clockwise direction has consequences. Learn all about it in this @StarTalkRadio’s Sports Edition with engineer and legendary Olympic hurdler @EdwinMoses999. https://t.co/sKnFTX2abZ — PolitiTweet.org

(1/2) In the epic Men’s 400M Hurdles, Norwegian winner Warholm beat American Benjamin by 0.21 seconds. Leading with his right foot over every hurdle, Benjamin ran as many as 2.5 meters farther (+0.33 sec) on the track than Warholm did, who instead led with his left foot. https://t.co/6B2v4AuxRV — PolitiTweet.org

@NftPizza Turns out, I was wrong. It cooks even faster! I neglected the radiative energy from the atmosphere, a second source of heating to the air simply being hot. Same efffect as the readiative walls of a brick oven. So on Venus, it probably cooks in under 4 seconds. — PolitiTweet.org

@astonart78 Everything in low-earth orbit orbits in about 90 minutes. Some satellites orbit the opposite direction. Those are most hazardous in a statellite destruciton scenario. — PolitiTweet.org

@d_geary15010 The watertable is practically everywhere. So, in fact, that means they don’t work at all. Unless you are standing on bedrock, you can almost always dig a well no matter where you stand, with or without a divining rod. — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffFermin FYI: Since there is no “proof” of Earth-visiting aliens, there was nothing there for me to deny. That being said, there’s no reason why this universe, or any other in the hypothesized multiverse, wouldn’t be teeming with alien life. — PolitiTweet.org

The Opening Ceremonies of the Tokyo Olympics, with 206 countries, has salvaged and celebrated whatever dignity remains in this World after 18-months of viral invasion, fear, ignorance, hatred, and loss. Thank you Japan. https://t.co/opXc8Z19EC — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, in the USA, 99% of people being hospitalized & dying from COVID-19 are those who chose not to be vaccinated. This confirms that whoever’s been advising you to decline the Vaccine, does not value your health or longevity. A form of biological “unnatural” selection. https://t.co/wy58l1pLZo — PolitiTweet.org

@finalyfree2bme2 @PabloDurissimo I’d like to think I did a little better than the “Berliner” incident. But I otherwise accept your gracious gesture. — PolitiTweet.org

The net worth of @JeffBezos is about $200-billion. A stack of that many dollar bills would reach twice as high as his Blue Origins Rocket launch. https://t.co/jbNbWDwEhR — PolitiTweet.org

@IvanMclean Thaks for asking. On this scale, the Sun would be 2.3 miles away. — PolitiTweet.org

Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson

Relative to a Schoolroom Globe… Planet Mars is a mile away (1.6 km). The Moon is 30 feet away (10 meters). The International Space Station orbits 3/8th of an inch (1 cm) above the surface. Branson & Bezos this month ascend the thickness of two dimes (2 mm) above the surface. https://t.co/bzM5y7UeeI — PolitiTweet.org

@PabloDurissimo Thank you, but my English keyboard didn’t offer that option for the “o”. Is no accent marks better than the wrong marks? — PolitiTweet.org

13 July 2021 Happy 77th Birthday, Ernö Rubik My first cube was in 1980. Spent a week solving it, when I surely should have been doing something else. Got below 5-mins after a month. I’ve had one on my desk ever since. p.s. Those Mutton Chops were in style back then. Just sayin’ https://t.co/fZ3AWYOLRb — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks for asking. It’s not as bad as you might think. Nutrition labels, medicines, foot races, all sciences, photographic lenses, car engine size, power grid, home electricity, soft drink bottles, wine, and currency are all metric in the USA. So we're inching our way there. — PolitiTweet.org
