POPULATION GROWTH …will it continue, can it. All of the Predictions Agree on One Thing: Humanity Peaks Soon There are many opinions on world population growth, whether it's sustainable, whether we can overcome the limits. The NYT today, in an opinion... nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@igluemodels @an1malspirits The biggest difference is that air is a gas & is compressible, generally inviscid. Water is a liquid, incompressible, & has viscosity. At the surface, movement of a body will generate waves & absorb energy. The air-water interface allows cavitation under certain conditions.

@an1malspirits @JJFilson Would be very interesting to understand differences in airflow and water flow

How often will you ever see anything like ths, 4 sister barques under sail together:

@S14914Norma @oliverhenry It does sound N Texan to me. Do you have Waffle House there? Almost nobody in Texas makes omelettes except pricy hotels.

@oliverhenry I’ve never eaten a pastrami sandwich for breakfast, but I live in the TX Panhandle/South Plains region. It’s not a thing here. Breakfast burritos or tacos…or eggs, meat of choice, hash browns and pancakes with butter and syrup…or biscuits and sausage gravy. Anyway, enjoy!

I’ve come to a local farmers market for a proper Texan breakfast Pastrami sandwich!

@TexasPatriot_27 @oliverhenry Most of Texas yes, except S Central & the Valley. Drippy bacon common. Pancakes: NTexas, usually lousy syrup. Biscuits & gravy E of the Trinity R. Never eat the hashbrowns unless made from scratch. Most often restaurants fry up frozen hash browns & don't thoroughly cook them.

@oliverhenry Proper breakfast is bacon or sausage or both, eggs, hash browns or grits, toast or biscuits. Throw in a pancake or 2.

@sleepycopilot @oliverhenry

@oliverhenry As a Texan, I have never ever had a pastrami sandwich, especially for breakfast. Always a breakfast burrito from the local taco truck.

@oliverhenry @FlavorMosaic This is the "Mexican breakfast" that most Texans opt for:

@FlavorMosaic I got told about Mexican breakfast but came for this instead, tomorrow I might go for the Mexican breakfast

@Perfectly_Laura @oliverhenry @FlavorMosaic Desayuno ...& it is far, far more than tacos, ...never, never brisket ... & highly varied on Mexican region of origin.

@oliverhenry @FlavorMosaic Almost every Mexican joint will serve breakfast.

@FlavorMosaic @oliverhenry Quite succinctly, pastrami is "urban cuisine". Most Texans try hard not to be urban. Most carpetbaggers try hard be Texans, a few only becoming "urban cowboys". Pastrami is great in the right context, but just isn't "Texan".

@oliverhenry Hey, It's a free country, eat whatever food you want. Pastrami tastes great. It's just generally not considered a "Texas" food. "Smoked Brisket" is Texan, but pastrami is more popular in NE US, especially New York City.

@ReversedMLG @FlavorMosaic @oliverhenry Burritos & tacos are NOT THE SAME THING.

@FlavorMosaic @oliverhenry Yup breakfast burritos are the best

@FlavorMosaic @oliverhenry Far better. Bf tacos would be a waste of good brisket. Central Texas also has some awesome sausages.

@oliverhenry Another popular option would be using chorizo instead of brisket in the breakfast tacos.

@FlavorMosaic @oliverhenry You need some potato; it's much to rich w/o; some german sausage that Texas has or chorizo; much more flavor than brisket. Good brisket straight up doesn't need any help. BTW: "S Central" to me = CC-SA-Austin-Bryan- Hou. No, not Beaumont, the Valley, nor the Hill Country.

@oliverhenry A proper South Central Texas breakfast would be breakfast tacos. Add chopped brisket to eggs, cheese, and salsa and wrap it up in a tortilla!

Looks about right 😉

@AmMonarchist Nothing ever returns to the way it was, so enjoy what you have when you can & leave it better than you found it, if you might. Futures are not necessarily better unless we work together to make them so.

If everything collapses and we get tall ships back, it might be worth it.

@JimBrowski101 @USCGNortheast In Boston where it always is. Do you really understand how elderly it is?

@USCGNortheast Where the constitution?

Yesterday, four of the world’s most iconic tall ships raced head-to-head offshore before making their way to Boston for #SAIL250. This weekend, they’ll sail into Boston Harbor led by USCGC Eagle for the Parade of Sail. Don’t miss it! ⚓🇺🇸 #fivesisterstallships

@bernidevortex @BinghamForReal @USCGNortheast Not a lot of W Coast ships went to NYC.

@BinghamForReal @USCGNortheast They fix it, now the Cuahutémoc it's on his way to Washington state, away from Brooklyn bridge

@Wrenchinator97 @USCGNortheast They are entirely a different class of ship(warship). The 4 sister barques are late 19th C technology (similar to 'Cutty Sark', but built mid 20th C). USS Constitution was built very late 18th C, but state of the art. USS Constellation is an extensive rebuild w/mid 19th C tech.

@USCGNortheast Kinda wish Constitution or Constellation could’ve been there and racing under their own power. Would’ve liked to see how they fared against newer counterparts. Though I get the concern, they’re both old ships.

@rufus6540 @USCGNortheast It is done w/a variety of sail training cruises. Many vessels in these events (NYC/Boston) are specifically "sail training vessels", most national. There's usually more applicants than openings. Other programs exist & likewise there's usually a waiting list. There is no shortage.

@USCGNortheast Not trying to poke because that's a truly awesome sight, but where do they find enough sailors who know how sail on 3-masted ships like that? Aren't they really crew intensive?

@oliverhenry Nothing done in Texas is ever modest. If it is modest, "It ain't Texan".

I’m in a German beer garden in Texas and I can safely say I have never ever seen this many beers on tap, anywhere, ever. Obviously went for a Texan local beer
