    @Earp I wander YouTube and obsess over random new types of media. Stumbled on a creator called "dorkly" and his four years of videos kept me busy for the past four nights.

    I don`t know if I`d say he`s painfully unfunny, not all his jokes hit but he`s not that bad. Granted I only watch every once in a while if I`m already watching something on that network and he pops up after. Most of my time spent with my insomnia is spent on Netflix though, or sites like Putlocker if Netflix doesn't have it. (They've taken quite a bit off lately)

    I used to be obsessed with owls. Key words: used to be. I made the mistake of telling my in-laws this, and now everything they get me is owl related. Owl figurines. Owl lawn decorations. Owl mugs. Owl plates. Plates.

    I've tried telling them multiple times I no longer like owls, and my new obsession is crows. But they haven't heard me. I'm expecting a Very Owly Christmas.

    Also, they tag me in every owl themed video or photo they can find on Facebook. :superwhew:

    If you want, they can tag me instead. Or is that a trap?

    All I want for Christmas is someone to hold me and watch cartoons with.
    What every great once in a awhile a guy likes to feel like a human being.
    Would be a hell of a lot better than a bunch of junk I don't need. :p
    (Keep on dreaming there CT, keep on thinking people are that good). :p

    Thinking about why songs I haven't heard for 30 years, and never much liked in the first place, keep popping into my head. Also, how much I love ginger beer.

    Black holes give off energy. This makes them smaller, and smaller black holes give off more energy more quickly than larger ones, which makes them even smaller, which makes them burn brighter and brighter until they finally explode.

    Stellar-mass black holes give off so little energy that they actually consume more Cosmic Background Radiation than they give off Hawking Radiation (getting larger instead of evaporating), but a 600,000 metric ton singularity would be able to propel a starship to a good fraction of the speed of light in a good amount of time.

    A one ton black hole, on the other hand,
    Both :) 0.956 metric tonnes, 1.05 American tons, 2100 pounds
    Would burn as brightly as the Sun. At this point, the black hole will be alive for another 73 nanoseconds, and after 73 nanoseconds of burning brighter and brighter, the 0.956 metric tonnes will have exploded with the total equivalent of 20.5 gigatons of TNT.

    Observers for miles around would feel the shockwave washing away the rain. I am not sorry ;-)

    So I'm thinking about writing some stuff again. Anyone interested in reading things I write?

    How did I not realize that 2100 pounds should be referred to as a Black Hole Ton?

    I know that, given [REDACTED], it's kind of weird, but I love the sound of [REDACTED] being [REDACTED].

    Have you ever sat and pondered exactly what you would do if you ruled the entire planet?

    Honestly I am not sure it would be all its cracked up to be, wouldn't really know what to do
    with all that power/responsibility. Maybe impose a semi-nonoptional dress code much more
    to my tastes to add something interesting into the mix. I really should work harder on some
    of my Dictatorial goals. :p

    What would you do if you ruled the planet?

    Something horrible, I assume. I've always thought that I'd make a good war criminal.

    I`d delegate all the ruling down to my advisors and go enjoy the fun parts of being a monarch.

    I'd create a research group to set up an organizational system of statistical data and analyze it. I'd require everyone to submit their data at the end of each day. I'd hire experts in each relative field to create/change regulations and rules based on the data.

    Religious freedom would be allowed but I would relate the number of establishments allowed directly to violent crimes committed by members of that religion, since religion should teach morality.

    Lots of other stuff too.

    I'd probably just do the same stuff I do now, except watch the news.

    And I'd tell guys like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un to knock it off.

    And I'd expand the space program.

    And I'd probably put a tax on rap.
