This experiment should be repeated on a salt flat, I suspect the concave curvature is due to surface tension on the water. I believe this experiment if done on land will show the Earth is flat. In any case the globe Earth model is completely out the window. |

♫Watching The Wheels♫
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,
People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go. |

If you're a fan of the idea that our flat Earth has a firmament (dome) that's surrounded by water above and water below then you'll enjoy this video. The Flat Earth Is THE YELLOW SUBMARINEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbgGKCRF5X8 Do we all live in a yellow submarine?♫ And our friends are all on board ♫ Many more of them live next door  |

well, it's true ... but, setting provide by XT (max transaction in mempool) work well now.  Heh, are you running a BFL Jalapeno or is that a Little Single? |

Well what ever they're doing today it seems to be having a minor effect on my node. My hash rate is down almost 1% and my miner temperature is up 2°F. That's some serious bragging rights there.  |

Altitude is relative, i.e. "How high is x compared to y?" When the sun is below the horizon, it has negative altitude relative to the 2-D plane connecting your eyes and the horizon, which is why you can't see the sun when it's below the horizon (earth is opaque). In this case, the sun has negative altitude relative to the visual plane. When you are up in an airplane, you see the sun while observers on the earth cannot because the 2-D plane connecting your eyes and the horizon are now at a downward angle compared to that of observers on the ground. Because the angle of your scope now extends across a plane that is angled downward, you see the sun again; its altitude is above the visual plane.
a) Altitude is relative to sea level. b) The Sun's altitude never changes as it orbits above the Earth in a circle. This implies that the Sun never goes below the horizon. c) As I stated before "... The greater the altitude the farther away from the vanishing point the object becomes and farther you can see it. ...". Mirage, who said anything about a mirage? I can tell that picture is cropped because the horizon is always at eye level. You really can't argue that fact. Also I'm sure you didn't take that picture so how are you so sure the image hasn't been cropped? The picture in question:  Fake edit:
Oh and I can see somebody beat me to my point about the reflection of the Sun on the water. LOL Um, you can see the sun reflect on the water when 1) any part of the sun is above the water and 2) your eyes are above the water. You realize water reflects light, yes? See the other guys post about the reflection traveling along the water all the way to the feet on the camera tripod.
EDIT: The original picture would have looked something like this:  Simulated un-cropped image. |

When you watch a boat floating on the ocean it disappears after a while, this is because the earth is curved. The boat goes out of sight because it goes around the curve of the earth.
The boat literally hides behind the curve of the earth.
This proves that the earth is round.
Actually it's because the boat has gone past the "vanishing point".  Your brain is a vanishing point. You can see the sun set. The sun is much, much, much farther away than the boat. What does it tell you when you can no longer see the boat, but you can still see the sun, which by flat earth standards would still be over a hundred times farther away? No. Just...no.  The Sun has something the boat doesn't and that's altitude. The greater the altitude the farther away from the vanishing point the object becomes and farther you can see it. For example if you're flying in a plane just before Sunset you'll still see light while the people on the ground will be in darkness. Also, that's a great picture of the Sun setting BTW, I can see the bottom 1/4 has been cropped off though. How do you explain the reflection of the Sun on the water...

look well the horizon, and you'll know that the earth isn't flat
I found a picture of "the horizon".  I "look well" at it and it's still flat. |

one simple question, if the earth would be flat, then what is at the edge? space?
For me it's no longer a question of "if" as I can prove the Earth is flat with a telephoto lens. Antarctica is strictly off limits and the only current option to travel there are guided tours. If you try to go off on your own you'll be met with military force. So there really is no direct way to find out what's beyond Antarctica. Personally I like the theory that Earth is an infinite plane dotted with many Suns that melt pools to form oceans; infinite Earths/planets. Other theories include a disk shaped earth covered by a dome (firmament) surrounded by water where "they" tell us space/vacuum is suppose to be. Another totally "out there" theory is "The Matrix" Earth theory with a so-called "soft barrier" beyond Antarctica. |

 Flat Earth video filmed in Antarctica from 1979: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-9xdx9qzLIDoes this video show the edge and the firmament? The second half of the video seems to show a fake holographic plane and multiple orbs (the uploader claims they're Nephlim) as our camera crew get too close to the edge. I was going to post this to the Flat Earth thread but it has a bit of a religious angle with the reference to the fallen ones so I figured this is more appropriate.  |

Well if they are stress testing attacking I can't see any effect at all on my node. Latency is currently at a 7 day low, hash rate and miner temp unaffected, pool is running smoothly.

I felt really old a while back when I was at the shop.
A young mother told her kid that was running infront of me "Do not disturb that old man"
Awww. |

My hair is starting to look like it's full of xmas tinsel. Fucking growing mylar out of my head now. Why must nature dox my age like this?
This 90 year life span we currently have is a joke.

"Bitcoin in its current incarnation is slow in the sense of being able to do a transaction and have it properly authenticated, which can take quite a few minutes. It doesn't really work in today's fast-paced shopping environment; even more so in train stations and so on when you have got millions of people trying to go through turn-styles – there you need real-time, instantaneous authentication, and delivery."
He hasn't figured out yet that it's not feasible to double spend on small amounts! Foregoing the confirmation on small amounts like train fair allows for instant transactions with almost no risk. However, Bitcoin is an online currency and using a brick & mortar comparison really is hurt. Bitcoin has an edge with online transactions, I guess that's why he had to stoop to make his case even then it's a flimsy one at best. |

That's an excessive amount of thermal paste, 'suppose to bush on a thin layer. Better than not enough though. Wash all that crap off (PCBs are water proof. You can scrub and hose it off with soap and water. They use a dishwasher in the factory on completed boards  ) and give us a good shot of the whole board. Maybe we can see the problem. |
