Posted robsamui on 2012-01-10 20:28:07

(I can't help it if the quotes don't match the quotes - ROOO!)

I like this!

Can we officially re-name things to the:

should-be-high season,
should-be-low season
should-be-rainy season
should-be-good season erm . . . should-not-be-monsoon-in-the-should-be-good season
??
There may be others Posted Image

C'mon we all know that Bangkok Airways are to blame!

#4967489 Threshold To Make A Posts "Popular" Is Proving Too High

Posted george on 2012-01-09 21:35:23

I have now set it three (3) likes to set it to "Popular", instead of 5. Let;s see how it goes.

We will get an update of the reputation system later in Q1 when next software version is planned to be released:

Hope you LIIKE it.

#3926985 Wind

Posted Blinky Bill on 2010-10-04 11:15:50

WTK, don't you remember the simple stuff from back in your schools days? Here is a brief explantion to remind you.

Wind is caused by air flowing from high pressure to low pressure. Since the Earth is rotating, however, the air does not flow directly from high to low pressure, but it is deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, so that the wind flows around the high and low pressure areas. This effect of the wind "feeling the Earth turn underneath it" is important for very large and long-lived pressure systems. For small, short-lived systems such as in the cold outflow of a thunderstorm the wind will flow directly from high pressure to low pressure.

The closer the high and low pressure areas are together, the stronger the "pressure gradient", and the stronger the winds. On weather maps, lines of constant pressure are drawn which are called "isobars". These isobars are usually labeled with their pressure value in millibars. The closer these lines are together, the stronger the wind. The curvature of the isobars is also important to the wind speed. Given the same pressure gradient (isobar spacing), if they are curved anticyclonically the wind will be stronger. If the isobars are curved cyclonically the wind will be weaker.

Near the surface of the Earth, friction from the ground slows the wind down. During the day, when convective mixing is stirring up the lower atmosphere, this effect is minimized. At night, however, when convective mixing has stopped, the surface wind can slow considerably, or even stop altogether.

Wind can also be thought of one way that the atmosphere moves excess heat around. All wind is, directly or indirectly, helping to transport heat either away from the surface of the Earth, where sunlight causes an excess of energy buildup, or from warm regions usually the tropics to cooler regions usually the higher latitudes. Extratropical cyclones accomplish much of this heat transport outside of the tropics, while in the tropics the trade winds, monsoons, and hurricanes transport much of the heat.  

2 interesting facts particularly for you WTK............
  
WORLD RECORD WIND SPEED.  The highest wind speed ever recorded on the surface of the Earth was 231 mph on April 12 1934, atop Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. This high-elevation weather station experienced the winds of an extremely strong jet stream that had descended unusually low in the atmosphere.  
THE WIND AFFECTS THE EARTH'S ROTATION.  During the northern hemisphere winter, the stronger westerly winds that build up in the Northern Hemisphere, combined with frictional drag at the Earth's surface, actually produce a very small, but measurable, increase in the speed of rotation of the Earth.

I have no degree, and I also have red dreadlocks and two nose rings. My tattoos I can cover up of course...

gs

Is that the reason why you are not married?

Not a chance, real men love chicks with tattoos and nose rings and red hair too!!

Ha ha ha! 'Is that why I'm not married?'

That's hilarious.

Thanks djvolak ;)

Well we can't have people being rude when a young lady asks questions now can we! Your quite welcome!

#3885541 Gay Men -- Are You Viscerally Disgusted At The Female Form?

Posted Ijustwannateach on 2010-09-16 01:01:07

Patsy:  As I mentioned above, most gay men have actually tried many aspects of straight life.  It's quite often the only option we have before we go away to college, and some gay men at that age haven't even realised they are gay yet.  So we do have relationships at some point with women.  I did, and it wasn't a problem for me, but I realised later I was much more interested in men.

Jingthing:  You are receiving no support here either from women evaluating their own attitudes towards female genitalia or from the other gay men posting on the thread.  I am aware that you are, um, of a 'certain age' and as I previously commented, it is only among that generation that I have even encountered the attitude you espouse (and that not often).  So if you feel you know many men who feel this way, perhaps you should consider how old they are (or were, if you are talking about people from the past) and if that factor might have something to do with it.

In any case, I do not find heterophobia any more admirable (or normative) than homophobia.  Since you are receiving no support, I see no point in letting this argument continue merely for the sake of your denying what everyone else is saying.  Thread closed.
