The post whore thread.

I have absolutely no idea.
I just like watching (imagining in this case) you math geeknerds work these out.I posed the same question to a co-worker some years ago and asked him to show his work. He did it as far as I can tell, but I forgot what he came up with. Knowing what the circumference is 30,000 feet up, let alone accounting for the climb and descent is where I quickly get lost. I should run this by my youngest son, he was a CS/math major before he changed to EE.

The circumference of the earth at the 34th parallel is listed here as 17958.166 miles. Given that a rise in elevation makes it farther still, but likely less than 1% more, your answer falls short.

Oh crap! I forgot to offset the radius of the earth at 30k ft, I calculated it at the 34th parallel (very crudely of course) on the ground. If I really wanted to give you a correct answer, I'd get it spot on, but I'm too lazy for that. Maybe I'll save this question and do it on my next work shift.

Fair enough



Exactly, just don't put a shot in your eye, that'd probably sting pretty bad

I had some disinfecting/sterilizing eye drops that were no fun. Luckily I've stopped that nonsense. I also have a gel that I apply RIGHT ONTO MY OWN EYEBALL so my eyes don't dry out at night. Those are super fun.

Let me get right on that........

Dude, that would be some really funny shit to see though. You know I was kidding though, you've made some neato vids.

Thank you, btw.

I'd rather not post links, I'm trying to figure out how to post images and stuff without using links.


I'll figure it out one of these damn days.
