Your “So Much Sports Action” Saturday Evening Open Thread

Oh God, I love everything about the World Cup except the 3:00AM Best Coast start time for games. DAMN YOU PUTIN!

Tonight’s sports:

  • CFL:
    • Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Calgary Stampeders – 7:00PM | ESPN2 / TSN
    • Montreal Alouettes at BC Lions – 10:00PM | ESPN2 / TSN
  • Beisbol:
    • MLB:
      • Red Sox at Mariners – 8:00PM | FOX / Sportsnet
      • Cubs at Cardinals – 8:00PM | FOX
      • Giants at Dodgers – 8:00PM | FOX
    • College World Series:
      • Washington vs. Mississippi State – 8:00PM | ESPN

I’m kinda relieved that there isn’t a plethora of sports on tonight, as the World Cup keeps making things earlier than they should be. GAMBLOR MUST BE SERVICED AT ALL HOURS!

AND SPEAKING OF SCIENCE BREAKTHROUGHS CAN’T ANYONE COME UP WITH A BEER ABOVE 11% ABV WHICH DOESN’T TASTE LIKE SHIT????????????????

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I had a fantastic 12% Bourbon barrel aged imperial stout tonight. You need to hang out with better scientists.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Nice.

It’s called whiskey.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Blech. All whiskey needs to be launched towards a black hole.

Of course it’ll just hover there at the Event Horizon, giving me headaches repeatedly. But it’s a start.

When they perfect time travel, they can prevent that.
But they won’t because they’re stupid in the future too.

I was looking over my plants a few hours ago and picked about a dozen cherry tomatoes. Not one made it into the house; ate ’em like candy. So good.

In honor of Messi, we went from the brewery to the Argentine empanada place. More satisfying than a tie.

In all seriousness, I have no problem with philosophy or theoretical physics which is stupid as shit. But funding it? To the exclusion of other more pressing needs on the planet, or even nearby colonization which do not require that stupid shit? Sorry, but no.

You wanna sit in your Mom’s basement and theorize how we might someday approach the speed of light (it’ll never happen, btw) or locate wormholes? Fine. Do it. Your mom can finance it.

We’ve got bigger things to figure out. Stop asking for grant money to launch this particle into that one and then tell me how one ended up a few nanoseconds ahead of the other.

WHO FUCKING CARES?????

G’night.

Basic science leads to breakthroughs. And that particle accelerator is also used for applied research now and again, even though it’s worth it just for the fundamental learnings.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Also, show me on the doll where the theoretical physicist touched you.

I respect your opinion.
But I don’t agree.

About the massive funding of particle accelerators, that is.

We’ve got plenty to fund in science to lead to breakthroughs elsewhere. Things which can, within our lifetimes, actually make a difference.

I just found some ancient writing from a town square message board, and it writes:

Hark! Who are these “philosophers” who spend their days writing and “thinking?” Why don’t they instead use their efforts and to more than 14 children like the rest of us. “Germs?” If I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist! They should be burned at the stake, they should!

Ok, I’ll stop offending the sensibilities of you folks that think any theoretical crap which requires us to approach the speed of light, has any merit whatsoever at this point in time.

I’ll stay here, quiet, hoping one of those assholes decides to figure out a way to figure out reusable rockets. Or even clean, renewable energy sources.

Hint…they don’t give a shit about that stuff. And guess why?

“10”

theeWeeBabySeamus

While we’re on the subject of time dilation and all that stupid bullshit…

TPs say that as an object moves closer to a black hole, time slows for us as observers, relative to the object. So all we’d see is the object slowly come to a halt near the event horizon.

So I figure if we ever do get close enough to a black hole to observe, it’s just gonna look like some redneck’s trailer trash front yard, with a bunch of junk n shit just floating there waiting to fall in.

Also as an aside, Event Horizon is a pretty awesome horror flick.

WCS

Event Horizon is criminally underrated.

herodotus450

The point being, there is actual experimental evidence in support of general and special relativity, which includes time dilation.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Agreed.

But it’s not practical to think….

Never mind.

theeWeeBabySeamus

My original statement below included the phrase “common sense” for a reason.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Time dilation happens even at speeds below the speed of light though. The FTL stuff… I don’t know, gotta give the potheads something to think about I guess.

Theoretical Physicists who have no common sense annoy the shit out of me.

Theoretical Physicist: Just imagine if it it were possible to move faster than the speed of light. My time travel theory work is based on…

Me: Imma stop you right there. “Imagine”. “Theory”. You do realize none of that’s possible?

TP: Well yes, but in theory, if we could…

Me: “If” we could. You see the enigma here, yes? We can’t.

TP: I don’t think you understand.

Me: Oh I understand. I understand that you’re a pinhead who is burning up grant money to play your little bullshit games and not get a real job. Let’s see if I can chase you out of my office faster than the speed of light you fucking asshole. Hey look, pretty fucking close!!!!!

I think the time dilation factor cut off the rest of your comment.

Appropriately so.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sorry. I jumped up and down a few times, which apparently put me ahead of everyone else by a factor of about .00000000000000000000000000000000001 seconds.

I know this is code for something but I can’t quite figure out what

But nope, literally just fired up the grill. Salmon will go on in about 20 minutes.

Baltimore (AP) – The Baltimore Orioles’ team bus careened off the highway today and plunged into a lake. Everyone on board died slowly and painfully except for the bus driver. When Buck Showalter was obviously critically injured and in need of medical aid, the bus driver shot him and then swam to safety.

/tWBS wakes up

Shit, it was just a dream.

19-50
9 game losing streak ongoing.
16 losses in their last 18 games.

At least the Orioles aren’t know for their long, loooong, Lou Gehrig-breaking streaks of consistent behavior or anything.
