Assume That I Believe in a Flat Earth Theory. How Do I Refute the Theory of a Flat Earth?

Begin by acknowledging that there is no flat-earth theory.Theories are explanations of observed natural phenomena based on known facts and known laws of nature, and all observations of the earth have conclusively shown that our planet is round. There are no scientific observations that lead to the conclusion our plant is flat.

Seafaring mariners have known this for hundreds of years. We can see this along long stretches of ocean shore that disappear into the distance. We can see ships disappear over the horizon.

Space venturers have shown us photographic images of our round planet. Airline pilots plan their intercontinental oversea routes with reference to a round planet, not a flat one.Here are some other ideas: 7 Ways to Prove the Earth Is Round (Without Launching a Satellite).

What if Anakin refused to kill Dooku, defying the order of Palpatine (Darth Sidious)?

Doku captured Palpatine with the help of General Grevious, He planned to use the situation to make Anakin come rescue Palpatine, he wanted him as a apprentice just like Palpatine. If Anakin didn't kill Doku, Palpatine would of used electric force on him, but he could reflect it or even use his own which would over power his, Anakin could probably be burnt hell badly by Palpatine and still not die, like late revenge of the sith.

When Doku planned this he thought Anakin would say no be struck and then probably kill Palpatine. Anakin would kill Palpatine knowing this still turning over to the dark side and becoming Doku's apprentice instead. With Anakin having Control of The Storm Troopers and the General Population and Doku the Battle Droids and if Anakin and Doku don't kill the Separatist they would be unstoppable.

The Jedi Council would have to Surrender or be Destroyed.

Muelleru2019s work has led to criminal charges against 34 people. Eight Trump associates and advisers have pleaded guilty.

How can this be a witch hunt?

We are talking about the first president that the Russians decided would be good for them. We are talking about the first president to trust the Russians over his own intelligence experts.

We are talking about the Donald. He promised to eliminate the national debt in 8 years and instead, increased it by 2 trillion in the first 2 years. We are talking about a man who said he would eliminate illegal immigration and instead, eliminated the foreign aid that made life barely livable in three Central American countries.

(Wouldnt you pack up the family and leave when all the future promised was more violence and hunger?) Maybe there should be a witch hunt! Black magic might explain why our world is upside down and people actually believe the words of this bozo.

Heh! Good news! 50% of Fox viewers apparently dont believe the Mueller Report exonerated the president.

What are you sick of these days?

Im tired of the guy who works part time outside for my husband, who even on the days he works for construction for someone else, comes into my house, and makes coffee that I bought, and makes a sandwich using meat and bread I also bought. My husband tells me to tell the guy that, but this frequently happens at 6:30 AM or even earlier,while hes waiting to meet his ride, and I am asleep.

Id loock my door, but I have a couple of teenagers who go out to get to school. They cant lock up, because they dont have their own key. I am proxy grandmama for them, because Im close to the school and have WIFI.

The teenagers arent the trouble for me that they are to their parents, which is another reason why they stay with me.

How can I start to code as fast as possible?

Assuming at least a quantity of code that you would likely to create over months of work, then what you want to do is make your code modular, easy to read, have tests/a good use of the type system/whatever other invariants that help ensure that code continues to work as expected when things are changed, and other such principals that people tend to discard when in a rush.

Like any other long term project else, the best way to approach a long term programming project is like a marathon, not a sprint. You will get passed by someone else who's rushing in the first few days, especially if you are not used to writing code properly, but you will soon overtake some hypothetical coder who's constantly taking shortcuts.

Can you say something good about Donald Trump?

Hes done a great job exposing how crazy the far-left is in terms of their personality, just look at AOC and the other three.Im also glad he brought attention to South Africas unfair treatment of its white farmers.I really do like how he supports smart stances on illegal immigration, send them back but allow them to apply legally.

Trump wants to decriminalize LGBT rights across the world, so thats good for members of the LGBT community.Hes created a lot of jobs for Americans, which is great for them.Theres been more vetting for refugees, which hopefully screens out the refugees from the terrorists.

Hes been very critical of mainstream media, which is finally shining the light on the fact that modern news channels are very left-biased

Would the Queen have to give royal assent to a Bill if Parliament voted to abolish the monarchy (UK)?

Yes, as with all legislation, this would be required. And it would not be easy, those who think that you can just wave the royal family out of existance with a stroke of a pen should look again.

It isn't as complicated as Brexit, but virtually every law written would have to be revisited and rewritten to take the risk family out. For instance, in a court of law, the judge site in the name of the Queen. In both houses of parliament, dealings are done in her name.

Over and above that, she is head of the Commonwealth and is Queen of many other countries too, or parliament alone cannot take this title off of her. That, with the will of the people behind such a bill, she would sign it, but it really would stuff up the legislature for years. We need Brexit to go through first please

Which prominent Republicans do you think would secretly be okay with a Joe Biden victory in November?

Trumps will will be the easiest loss in the history of politics. Nobody cares what Republicans, prominent or otherwise, do, say, complain about, which conspiracy theories they believe, or women upon whose hat they hang their hopes of a story that equals 1/30th of anything that Trump ever did.Democrats are sick and fucking tired of watching our treasury get looted, federal debt being jacked through the roof, the rich owning congress and the white house, and watching 10s of thousands of Americans die because Trump decided that lying to our faces polled better than showing leadership in this pandemic.

Yall go on thinking Trumps a shoo-in. Its entertaining. Huh.

I just realized that I forgot to answer the original question. The answer is:All of them

How different would u201cHarry Potteru201d and u201cA Song of Ice and Fireu201d be if they were written by George R.R.

Martin and J.K. Rowling respectively?

Draco Malfoy would be sitting on the Magic Throne, with Lucius Malfoy fighting all his wars for him.There would be four Houses to compete for the Throne: House Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Slytherin.Ron and Ginny would be lovers.

Harry would first have to be thrown out of a window before he can learn to use his magic powers. Neville Longbottom would be sent to the Wall to be made fun of.Quidditch would be played with lances and swords, rather than balls.

Mail would be delivered by ravens rather than owls. Hagrid would only say the word "Hagrid" all the time.That goblin who works in the Gringotts Wizarding Bank would be the real hero and plotter.

Voldemort would be called "The Great Other", rather than "He who must not be named".

Why do most Indians dislike history in school?

What your elders told you in childhood?

To live truth and hate lies.So when lies are sold to you as history what would you do?You just hate the subject.

Our History is just Congress and leftists propaganda. Not a single word in entire history book about any Hindu king.I have learned one chapter each for each and every Mughal rulers.

One chapter each for each and every viceroy of east India company. When my elders and scriptures clearly tell me my religion is born and prospered here inside India in area of Seven Rivers.This textbook Romila Thapar history is hell bent to teach me my fore fathers were nomads.

When I asked my grandfather he tells me I am son of knowledgeable sages. So how I can love this fake text book History?

Why do people claim that homosexuality led to (or contributed to) the fall of the Roman Empire?

It's very difficult don't answer claiming;"Such a stupid thing", just because Roman Empire fallen for many reason. It wasn't easy for one single man to rule an Empire so large, due to economic or food crisis. Then when an Empire is so large a single man could have many enemies, and it's a case that during the II and the III century a.

D. Rome saw many emperors, one by one. An entire society changed widely during the last two century of the Empire (of course, I'm talking about the Western Empire).

In Roman society to be omosexual it wasn't a crime: of course there weren't marriages or something similar, but from the poorest person to the emperors many people, accordin to the sources, were bisexual or homosexual. It was quite accepted

What's your favorite hidden, small detail at Disney Parks?

I have so many, but I like at Disneyland in So Cal, there are Carrera Marble Statues of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves that were gifted from the Country of Italy.

Problem? They were all the same height. So the imagineers using force perspective did a scenario that changes elevations so Snow White look taller than the Dwarves.

Speaking of the Dwarves, up above the Seven Dwarfs mine ride is a tall window with a curtain that opens periodically to reveal the evil witch and her apple. I like to stand in line at the Peter Pan ride across from the mine ride and get kids to look up when she appears. Scares the heck out of them.

Also in front of the mine ride is a golden apple statue, when you touch it just right you here the witch cackle.Few of my favorites

When is being nice not really nice?

When shame control the way you react people will call you humble and nice.

but are you being nice? X is a student who is very respected by his peers.he does the homework of his friends with out being offended.

the word no would barely come out of his mouth.he is the first one to get out of his comfort zone without any compromise.when taking any decisions related with the school,you are not supposed to ask his opinion as he literally confirms with the majority and he endevour to sugar-coat the minority.

So such type of people in our society are considered as humble and modest.but are they really being nice or just faking it? I think the answer is the second http://choice.

so being nice in the above case is not being nice for me.

What was the most pointless war in history?

I think some quo ante bellum wars are pointless.

Not because of their intension, but because of their result. Nothing happened. Although status quo ante bellum is able to create the fairest results and deescaltes the relationsship between the fromer belligerents (and I often times agree with that result), its cost of human live and urban, ecological and economical destruction for nothing is even worse than a war which lets one party benefit.

Many of these wars are smaller conflicts such as border wars. For example only 130 people died in the Sino-Soviet war of 1969. Yet the death of individuals itself instead of numbers are tragic, too.

It isnt limited to minor conflicts however. The Iran-Iraq war was ceased by a quo ante bellum. This war caused over 230,000 deaths.

Almost eight year long fighting, 230,000 lives and heavy damage and destruction for nothing.
