@TheDoctor In Rio de Janeiro in 2016, the same jump will get an athlete 0.25% higher (>1cm) than in London four years prior.

@m.buettner I mean, it's been almost twenty years. Now, it's possible you're simply embedding Windows directory paths in your URIs, but in that case you need more than just a short lecture.

yay

}}xkcd random

@m.buettner It's like the squirt bottle we use with the cat.

you're still linking the images instead of the website? trouble putting links on images?

Yes.

hm, put the link on the alt text instead?

or make it three posts: title as link, image, alt text

@TheDoctor Trains rotate the Earth around various axes while elevators shift its position in space.

}}xkcd 1233

@TheDoctor It's commonly believed that Lorentz contraction makes objects appear flatter along the direction of travel. However, this ignores light travel times. In fact, a fast-moving butt would appear rotated toward the observer but not substantially distorted. Shakira was right.

hmmm.

what do you score by? doorknob has more rep than you on PPCG, doesn't he?

rep

TheDoctor has exactly 3452 rep right now on PPCG, while Doorknob has over 14k...

maybe the parser couldn't deal with "14k"? ^^

Combined 8k vs ...a lot

I win on several tho

that's wierd

Maybe it has problems since this is a beta site. Doorknob has 57k or so total vs 8k, so even the +33k "overall" isn't right. If you add 14k to it, it matches up better

That doesn't explain why it reads yours fine here, but maybe it's because he's a shiny diamond here.
