A random thread of absolute randomness...

I dont know how many of yall hoard tabs on your phone. But with google chrome, once you get 100 tabs, the counter just turns into a smiley face and no longer keeps track on the amount open. Im bad at deleting my tabs, currently have 53 right now. Most of them are just the same 3-4 websites reopened. Like i think atleast 20 of them is jwtalk and jw dot org 🤣.

I just never think to look for the old tabs on my phone.  I opened a web page and that's it.  Sometimes I get a message that the max number of tabs is 99.  When I open a webpage, it closes the oldest tab.

 

NEVER LOOK BACK!!

Since gravity travels at the speed of light, If the black hole at the center of the galaxy disappeared today the solar system, which is 25,000 light years from galactic center would continue to orbit the center of the galaxy for 25,000 before the effects of gravity was gone.  The edge of the galaxy which is 50,000 light years from galactic center would continue to orbit for 50,000 years.

Id be mad if it closed out my tabs. I might need that random tab showing me if sharks are allergic to grapes five months down the line

The model of the solar system works just fine for making calculations.  If we use our sun (technically named Sol) as a point of reference, then the circular orbits work out fine.  But what if we had another point of reference?  Things would look very different.  Our Solar System orbits around a black hole at the center of the Galaxy.

The solar system has a helical movement through space, but it also revolves around the center of the galaxy.

To make it more complicated, the entire galaxy is moving around what is called "the great attractor" and that makes it more complicated.  This video is over 14 minutes.

We have all seen pictures of how the mass of the sun warps space around it which affects nearby objects and is what we call gravity.  But it really is more complicated.  All the planets and other bodies within that warped space also warp space around them.  So, the space warped by the mass of the sun is also warped by each planet.  Warped space within warped space.

 

Is everyone totally bored with this yet?

All in all, these things can be very complex.  It may be beyond our comprehension, but Jehovah understands it all and keeps everything in a beautiful balance.

I try to keep my tabs on my phone under 90, I have gone above that a few times but seeing it get near 100 forces me to reduce it back down to a manageable 80ish 😂

 

I have just counted the amount of tabs open on my pc and its 84 😅

 

To this day I have no idea why I dont use bookmarks, it would save the panic attack when I accidently close all tabs and have to try and rescue them from the history.

I’m wondering why the media makes such a big deal about the winter storms here in the US, and why people can’t drive? It’s like “hello, it’s January!”

Well of course you dont see it as a big deal. You have ice in your name😂😂😂

 

But seriousky, in upstate SC we're looking at snow Friday and possibly freezing rain overnight. Idk how well you cam drive in possibly 1 inch thick ice but, it aint fun. Also thete's still TONS of damaged trees from Helene that can possibly fall over and cause a lot of damage
