  1. Troy I have zero curiosity about other people's sexual prowess or endowment as a point of comparison.
  2. I initially had about thirteen books. Snowy Day wasn't that Jack Ezra Keats. I reread his books to my son. Too bad about the flack he caught. He seemed like a well meaning man. Do you remember the Charlie Brown Christmas. Franklin was the only black kid. He was the only one on the other side of the table. He was also the only one with a lawn chair and it was broken.
  3. It sounds like you know a lot about big penis in the locker room. Unlike yourself Iam not trying to impress much less look at other men's penis in the locker room.
  4. I was going to look at average, max and min for September. They also rank each temperature. So I was going to see what the rankings were for each 30 year period. But then I thought why bother. I was about to change my mind until I went to Scripps and read Van Ramanathan writings.
  5. read appendix F. A male locker room. Well at least not for me. You seem to feel it's good everywhere.
  6. Ok Troy can you describe what you think I am doing and what i am looking at and why I choose Central Park?
  7. 1) Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. 2) The Alchemist by Paul Coehlo. 3) Surely you must be joking by Richard Feynman. 4) A Brief history of time Stephen Hawking. 5) The easy tarot guide by Marsha Marshino. 6) The Faces at the bottom of the well. by Derrick Bell. 7) Negrophobia by Darius James. 8) Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. 9) The places you'll go by Doctor Seuss. 10) Eastern and Western Mysteries David Alan Hulse.
  8. According to climate science the earth is heating up. And 2000 - 2010 was the hottest decade. Shouldn't the data agree with their predictions
  9. Okay Troy how would you look at the data to see if temperature is rising?
  10. Thanks for posting. inwas able to find actual temperature data. From 1895 - 2017. Will see if the temperature has gotten warmer in central park.
  11. If NASA is so smart why even use Feynman. Fir the same reason he was put in charge of older more established physicists when he worked on the Atomic bomb. Because in a room full of smart guys he's the really smart guy. Read appendix F. Because they still launched.
  12. Troy you are saying NASA knew. That is only partially true. Management didn't. And they weren't listening to the engineers. I read the report and watched the news report, recently. Feynman said that Nasa had couldn't properly assess the risk. if they could this disaster would have never happened. You can't say NASA knew of the risk. If management didn't know and the engineers did. To me that's a basic point.
  13. The comments are directed towards the decision makers. So yea the engineers had a problem. But all of NASA isnt just engineers. The problem was management. That's who Feynman directed his criticisms.
  14. I don't know if you're beeong intentionally being thick or you just don't understand what I have written.
  15. Your comments really underline the difference facts knowledge comprehension and analysis. Morton Thiokol isn't NASA and the engineers aren't decision makers.
  16. Role of Richard FeynmanEdit “ I took this stuff that I got out of your seal and I put it in ice water, and I discovered that when you put some pressure on it for a while and then undo it, it does not stretch back. It stays the same dimension. In other words, for a few seconds at least and more seconds than that, there is no resilience in this particular material when it is at a temperature of 32 degrees. ” — Richard Feynman, [5] One of the commission's best-known members was theoretical physicist Richard Feynman. His style of investigating with his own direct methods rather than following the commission schedule put him at odds with Rogers, who once commented, "Feynman is becoming a real pain." During a televised hearing, Feynman famously demonstrated how the O-rings became less resilient and subject to seal failures at ice-cold temperatures by immersing a sample of the material in a glass of ice water.[5] Feynman's own investigation reveals a disconnect between NASA's engineers and executives that was far more striking than he expected. His interviews of NASA's high-ranking managers revealed startling misunderstandings of elementary concepts. One such concept was the determination of a safety factor.[6]
  17. Here's Richard Feyman's own words. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4kpDg7MjHps
  18. Perhaps it's the difference between ethics, morality and mores.
  19. @Troy more explaining isn't necessary.
