Why do they call it “taking” a poop, when you’re actually leaving one🤷🏻‍♂️

Why do they give away "door prizes" but it's not a door?

How fast would I have to drive west to keep the sun from setting in front of me?
Is it OK to use a bungee cord to hold down a tarp and how do you know when you need a pail rather then a bucket?

I'm not sure about driving, but at 47° latitude I have to shoot 6 inches high at 1000 yards when shooting west, and 6 inches low when shooting east. Coriolis will shaft you if you forget it. High ballistic coefficient and speed can get you down to 4 inched.

Depends on your latitude.
~26K Mi to circumnavigate @ the equator and 24hrs in a day. So, just under 1100MPH give or take.

Wow about 1.5 times the speed of sound is where I need to start, I better cross that one off my bucket list.
Is it OK if I use bungee cords to hold down my tarp and how do i know when I should be using a pail instead of a bucket? 😉

Lincoln, kinda...
Just go to the North Pole and you can circumnavigate the Earth at 89.9999 degrees north in just a few minutes. I'd suggest sometime in the latter half of June.

Yeah but that won't work the sun is always up isn't it closer to the poles during the summers months?

Daylight savings time. Why are they saving it and where are they keeping it?

One step closer to the end.
I'm not sure about driving, but at 47° latitude I have to shoot 6 inches high at 1000 yards when shooting west, and 6 inches low when shooting east. Coriolis will shaft you if you forget it. High ballistic coefficient and speed can get you down to 4 inched.
That explains it. The largest buck I ever shot at approached me from the west. Firing with my bow, I shot too low at 30 yards. I missed.
