when will you wake up?


6:15 a.m. to my dogs needing to go out.

Then at noon to my phone alarm after being up for a while and taking a quick nap

My favorite proof I ever learned in a math class is that you can make any function look linear by zooming in enough.

If that's a commercial flight they're actually right in this case that the curve is due to the lense of the camera.

You can't see much curve at commercial altitudes.

Good thing we have satellites and shit though.

Well maybe that's true but I just used it as an example. You can see it from the top of Mt. Baldy, and that's only like 10,000 feet up.
