829:(could've done it earlier :D) I specified coordinates that I took myself manually (arbitrarily or whatever) and the map gets positioned pretty much where it should be except for the eastern part where it is clearly visible that there's something wrong with the overlay map (and I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with it) and the second conclusion is that the coordinates in the article are very robust or whatever. Coordinates they (Google) use in their demos work pretty much to a zoom level where you can see cars so I'm really not sure that it's a projection issue or something. I should review sources rather, it might be a very error prone process using something they made back in USSR, I'm pretty sure they didn't abide by any WGS84 rules.

If you have a mechanical scale, especially a really cheap one, it may be possible for high humidity to affect the inner workings in such a way that the reading changes. So, the best way to get reliable weighings is to (a) buy a good quality, possibly digital scale, that is fully enclosed, (b) weigh yourself at the same time of day every time, wearing a similar amount of clothing, (c) try to make sure your eating and drinking habits are regular enough that you won't have drunk a litre of water before your weighing one day and not the next.
258:"The lowest sea level air pressure ever recorded was 870 mb (25.69 in.) in the eye of Typhoon (Tip) over the Pacific Ocean, whereas the highest sea level air pressure ever recorded was 1084 mb (32.01 in.) at Siberia associated with an extremely cold air mass." That's about 24.6% higher at the maximum air pressure using the min air pressure as a base. If we multiply that by Reuben's 1/4 pound figure, we get around 1/16 pound differential in your weight from the highest atmospheric pressure to the lowest. The air pressure in your bathroom won't vary nearly as much, so air pressure alone can't explain a 5 lb diff. It's off by well over a factor of 80.

inversely proportional to r, the final force is proportional to 1/r. So if we guess the radius wrong by a factor of two, we'll be off by a factor of two when we work out the force on the rope.

I'm kinda surprised the force was that great though - if a 7,000lb car broke a 15,000lb rope - that's a lateral force of 2g's...this surprises me because my tricked out MINI Cooper takes turns like that at around 30mph without resorting to ropes and it can only manage about 1g of lateral. I guess that turn was tighter than it looked.

The problem being that this path would likely be short-lived due to the changing relative positions of these objects and the Earth - and I suspect that you'd receive only a very tiny proportion of the photons due to the accuracy needed to get any to return back to the Earth. Also, I suspect the nearest things massive enough to deflect the light sufficiently would give a very long light-path of at least several thousand years.

It was a tight turn, probably well under 2 car lengths, meant to be tighter than one could do with a car alone. Also, since they were doing it without the aid of the steering system, there would be an additional substantial force created by the friction of trying to drag the tires sideways.
