I remember my teacher the first year I had a class was a ****** about units, and then I took it in college and I understood why. when doing astrophysics calculations, the numbers are all either so large (10^49, etc) or so small that you just ignore the numbers and only care about units (which includes order of magnitude). if you are doing something like adding 10^49 + 10^42, the 10^42 factor (10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) is so meaningless that you just drop it from the equation.

I'm sure I'd end up trying to put someone on the moon and then send them off towards Mars like an idiot. My freshman year in college, I got destroyed by a professor who loved unit conversions and made some up that were just crazy difficult. One I still kind of remember was basically "how many moles of soap would you need to surround and wash off y spheres of dirt with a radius of z nanometers" where he gave you the dimensions of a soap molecule and how close they would need to be to dissolve the dirt. Just a unit conversion. Took goddamn forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time last year, we'd already had a 90 degree day. We've only had like two or three days this year that have hit 60. I'm over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had rain for a week straight, high of 65 today and people are acting like it’s 90 another week of rain coming tomorrow too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been steady 20s overnight with highs around 35-40 for a while now. Even when the sun comes out, it's cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
