Is the Earth flat? I need someone to give me rock hard evidence against individuals who believe the Earth is flat so that I can get them off of my back.
Here are a couple ways to prove to yourself that the Earth is not flat. None of these methods rely on any authority figures, textbooks, astronomical observations, etc. These are things you can do yourself so long as you go to a place with little topography.Go hike to the top of a tall mountain overlooking a prairie by at least 1000 meters**. Bring a long ruler or meter stick. When you are at the top of the mountain, close one eye and hold out the ruler in front of you to try to line up the ruler along the horizon. Can you do it? Or does the horizon bend away from the edges of the ruler? Why would that be?Find a very long, straight road on a prairie on a clear day***. Have a friend go with a second car and tell him to start driving. Using binoculars or a telescope, tell him to keep driving until you can no longer see him. Zero the odometer on your car and then go drive to him. How far did you drive? Repeat as necessary. I’m guessing you drove between 4 and 6 km each time. Why would that be? And why can I give you an estimate of how far you will drive?If you have access to decent survey equipment, then go find some prairie or salt flat and try to walk 5 km North, then 5 km East, then 5 km South and then 5 km West****. Did you end up where you started? If you surveyed it correctly, you should end up about 1 to 2 m east of your starting spot. Why is that? And why can I give you an estimate of how far off you will be from your starting point?**An excellent place to do this is the Front Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. For example, Mount Yamnuska, Mount Burke, Moose Mountain, etc. I’m assuming there are good locations in the Front Ranges of the American Rockies too.***An example where this can be done is between Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta. There is a 40 km stretch of straight road which only varies by about 10 m elevation along the entire stretch. I’m assuming there are also many other similar township and range roads throughout the North American prairies.****This is a much more difficult test to perform than the other two because you would need access to high quality survey equipment and you would need to know how to use it. However, it can be done.
How do I convince someone to stop smoking weed?
In order to get your boyfriend to quit smoking weed, the trick is to show him (not tell him) the benefits of quitting weed and definitely without ‘nagging’ him!Guys sometimes have a skill of convincing girls that what they are up to really isn’t so bad.

What does it mean if my ex-boyfriend dies in my dream?
There are a couple possible explanations that come to mind:1. It is possible that you are unconsciously concerned that by divorcing your ex that some aspect of that person's life has "died." Maybe you are concerned he or she is no longer is able to pursue a life-long dream, or that individual isn't going to have the time to parent the way he/she would prefer. This dream may be an unconscious anxiety that the divorce in some way has negatively impacted (or killed) this person's life. 2. The other possible explanation is that your dream is an unconscious wish that the complications or unwanted feelings your ex brings into your life would stop. It may be your method of addressing (by killing the source of the problem) the unwanted sense ambivalence or guilt. 3. It is possible that your ex actually is a dream symbol for some other change in your life. Has there been another recent decision that you have mixed feelings about? Is there something else that you worry you have "dyed" recently? This dream could be using your divorce to express concern that you have inadvertently impacted an area of your life.

Help! Experienced horse people only please.?
My horse is coughing and farting, at the same time and repeatedly. She'll do it like 3 times in a row. I'm just not sure why. She coughs/farts (same time) so hard that it almost throws me out of the saddle, I can hear her doing it in her field a lot too. She's been doing this for some time now, and i am getting worried. I know I need to call a vet or bring her in, and i will, but first I would like to get some answers from people who may know what this is or has had this happen and got it checked out already. Anything else I should look for? I need help. I am worried. If you have anymore questions about it, just say so and I will extend the question answering. Just remember when answering: She is coughing and farting at the same time, repeatedly, and often. How does a horse with an allergy/allergic reaction act? If she was allergic to something she was being fed, wouldn't it be worse right now or could she live with it having a more mild reaction? I need to know, please!!

im trying to see if there are any poetic devices in this song. i would be grateful for any comments you have on this song. please help!!! :) "mad world" by gary jules All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tommorow, no tommorow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you Cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad World Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
