Very well done.
Thank you. I hooked my sister on it. It was simple, she is fascinated with English history.

The Crown is excellent. Season 2 starts in December.

RIP Allan Holdsworth.

Great video editing job too. BTW, definitely Maryann.

But it's a Volvo, so they all get wherever they're going COMPLETELY safely!
Thank OG for those f-ing Swedes.
Volvo is now owned by a Chinese company. :laughlol:

Does anyone understand what the back story is on this commercial?

A question I can't get an answer to.
1) Gravitational time dilation according to Einstein's theory of relativity states that the farther a clock is from the source of gravitation the faster time passes.
2) We exist in the local group of 54 galaxies. With the center being between the Milky Way and Andromeda.
So, wouldn't the gravitational "weight" of the local group distort our view of the age of the Universe because we are seeing it a changing quicker then it really is?
Ok I went a website called ask a physicist. Here is what he wrote back to me. Turns out the guy that answered works at GSFC.

Yes, there is such a distortion - but noticeable only when one
works with precise measurements.
The gravitational potential of the local group is shallow. As you
remember from physics classes, the gravitational potential for a
point-like object is M/R, mass divided the distance from the center
of that object. The calculations are trickier when you're inside
an extended object, but the "M/R" formula gives you a sense of how
it scales. The gravitational time dilation depends on the same M/R
type gravitational potential:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_time_dilation
and it's large only near compact objects (such as black holes,
with large M/R), and mostly negligible for extended objects.
Also, for precision work, there is a standard definition of
time that cosmologists use:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_time
and they know how to treat the small complication due to the
local group gravitational field and the peculiar motions of our
Galaxy and of our solar system.

It is a sad day.

We are treading water, but that is OK all things considered. We just need a few things to break our way, a couple positive surprises and we can go on a run I think. Of course, a few more bad breaks and?
I agree. Get some players healthy and get a few good breaks our way (law of averages) and we will be on a roll (I am always an optimist this early).

Orioles don't play, Yankees lose isn't bad, either.
For all our shoddy play, we're two games out in the loss column.
That's the important thing. Eventually they will go on a run. They just have to keep everyone close while they figure you things out.

The day isn't over yet.
I'm rooting for the Mets to beat the Yankees in their rubber match tonight on Sunday Night Baseball.
THE THREAD (with Lineups and Starting Pitchers):
Are the Yankees a permanent fixture on Sunday Night Baseball?

The only thing offensive about the Redskins is their play on the field.

Down to one and Yankees done.

Last place soon.

Since the game is on ESPN what is the over/under on how many times the Yankees or Judge will be mentioned?
