Yes, I am bored.
The world speed record for a paper machine is 2010 m/min over a 24 hour period. That is a sheet of newsprint 10m wide and 1799 miles long.
That, my friends, is a fact.
75 mph... that is fast!

Touching something energised at 630V DC is really bad. Mains is AC - alternating current - and tends to throw you clear if you happen to touch it. DC - Direct current - only flows one way so you stick and have been dragged/prised off. Nasty.

Our "Phantom Shitter" hasn't struck now in almost 18 months
82% of the people who completed my questionnaire on the indoor air quality within their office didn't enter the name of the uni building they work in.
I would have reached my chargeable hours target for the year, had I been able to record over 30 hours of temporary time to a file number.
So, I now miss out on a 5% bonus (like they'd dish them out anyway this year...).

Haze, work related facts only please....
Escape velocity is defined to be the minimum velocity an object must have in order to escape the gravitational field of the earth, that is, escape the earth without ever falling back.
The object must have greater energy than its gravitational binding energy to escape the earth's gravitational field. So:
1/2 mv2 = GMm/R
Where m is the mass of the object, M mass of the earth, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of the earth, and v is the escape velocity. It simplifies to:
v = sqrt(2GM/R)
or
v = sqrt(2gR)
Where g is acceleration of gravity on the earth's surface.
The value evaluates to be approximately:
11100 m/s
40200 km/h
25000 mph
😆 Nice work Cap'n. 😆
