the number of Galaxies in the Universe
I saw the Hubble deep field scan
the picture that was taken of a 1mm by 1mm section has at least 10,000 galaxies in it.
To figure the surface are of the sphere that Hubble would be traveling on
4*pi*r^2
r of earth 6378
hight of Hubble 559
r of sphere 6378 + 559 = 6937
4*pi*6937^2 is 604718497 km
km to mm x6.04718497 x10^14
sphere so the estimate-able number of galaxies visible by Hubble would be 6.041897*10^14*
10000= 6.041897*10^18
According to wikipedia there are 100 billion (10^11) galaxies
This calculation is so much smaller then what
I got. Could I be right?

The problem with cock-block
You are making time and a friend or competitor starts talking to the object of your interest resulting in you not getting a number or date. Most often the person is being so irritating or creepy sending the girls running away.
I don't think a cock-blocking includes a guy swooping in and taking the interest for them self getting the number or getting laid.
That my friends would be a boink-yoink.

Binary Bible
It is easy to write a moral code. I wrote one and I think it is much better then the ones in the Christian bible.
Introducing...
The Binary Bible:
I have tried to chose terms that eliminate misinterpretation.
Behavior can be broken down into decisions. Weather an action should be taken,when facing this decision the results can be a 1 which is an action that is positive or an action that is 0 or not positive.
If an action or choice not to act is a made and the result is something you need to survive the answer is a 1.
If an action or choice not to act is made and the result is removing something needed for someone else to survive the answer is 0.
If to survive you must take something and the result is someone else being unable to survive the answer is 1
If an action or choice not to act is made and the result is something you need to thrive the answer is 1.
If an action or choice not to act is made and the result is removing something needed for someone else to thrive the answer is 0.
If an action or choice not to act is made where the result is removing something needed for someone else to thrive so that you can thrive the answer is 0.
If an action or choice not to act is made and the result is removing something needed for someone else to thrive so that you can survive the answer is 1
If an action or choice not to act is made where the result is removing something needed for someone else to survive so that you can thrive the answer is 0.
survive= food, water, sunshine, clothing, shelter, sleep,life.
thrive= education, sex, companionship, health care, transportation, freedom of speech, the decision of what, how, and who, interact with your body ect.

Thank you for smoking.
I stand outside my office building taking a break smoking a cigarette. Some stranger walks up to me and starts to tell me off. “That's a disgusting habit.” Shunning me. Becoming indignant. That is bad for you or worse that is hurting the people around you.
I hate those conversations.
Little Kids will walk up to me and tell me that smoking is bad for you.
I usually tell them it's not as dangerous as telling other people what to do.
Society is spreading hate at smokers.
In England smokers are banned from being foster parents
The new frontier in bigotry is to discriminate against people for the habits they have.
I don't see why that is OK.
I have been a smoker for 15 years. I chose to smoke. I like it. Yes I pay a price. But I enjoy it. It is legal and I chose to smoke in spite of the risk and the cost.
For some people that isn't good enough. They wish me harm for smoking. I have been baned from doing it in public. Because of second hand smoke health dangers. Perhaps there are risks. But the smoking ban in Minnesota is costing people their business.
Over 300 bars and restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul are out of business in the 2 years since the smoking ban.
The people that the smoking ban is meant to protect are out of work or out of business. They didn't want the ban.
The nicest people I have met have been smokers. I stand outside a bar or restaurant and I meet people. We stand there and smoke and chat. Smokers are approachable. A smoker can hold a conversation with anyone. Why does the world hate us?
I smoke 2 packs a day, yes I know that is a lot. Soon $1.01 of every pack will go to the federal government. It is funding the children's health care initiative. Paying for medical care for children.
In Minnesota I pay $1.504 per pack in taxes also to pay for health care. Lets do some math...
2 packs a day
$2.514 x2
$5.028 a day
5.025 x 365.242199 days a year = $1,835.34 a year
That is what I pay to provide health care for other peoples children.
If the taxes had been this high as long as I had been smoking I would have paid $27,530.13.
So when I stand outside in the cold Minnesota winter and people walk by and sneer or say something nasty I get a little angry.
My habit is helping kids I have never met. What does their bad habits support? Starbucks
Every single one of them. They should be thanking me for smoking.
