Myan Doomsday & Tranz / Hollidays, Trainz, and the Blues

I've noticed that too Casper. Sometimes it doesn't show up at all, sometimes it is text but with no image, and sometimes it is just a blank space. Feel free to click on it if you have a Skype account. :)

Anyway, back to talking about stuff that won't happen. :D

Yes, Kieran's Skype button is broke as well. It looks the same on my PC.

Everyone's Skype button is broken visually, but still functions. Have a look at Electro and Narrowgauge, who have Skype buttons. Theirs are playing up too.
 
2 days to go, weather forecast for Friday looks good.

Special request

It’s nearly 21[SUP]st[/SUP] December 2012 in Australia.

If the World should end, can I please ask that someone from “down under” posts confirmation here so that we, in the UK, can enjoy the remaining 10 hours playing Trainz.
 
I'm glad you reminded me ... I almost forgot all about it ... and I would have been very disappointed, if I had overslept through the event, or missed "the end" completely !

The exact time is not known for sure. It could be the stroke of midnight in any given time zone on the 20th, or the stroke of midnight on the 21st, who really knows exactly when.

Of course the Mayans calendar calculations could be thrown way off by days, weeks, decades, many years, or many hundreds of years, given a 3000 year time span.

I predict the end, when the lifecycle of support of Trainz Lifetime FCT finally ends in the year 2034

Only 22 more years to play with Trainz !

693,792,000 seconds

After the year 2034 we will all be playing a totally different simulator, designed by Ish6, with his Marz assets.

What if it only turns out to be some nasty weather with a nor'easter battering the whole country at the same time? You know, snow in Washington, blizzards in Canada, howling wind and snow on the prairies, gurt rainystorms in the south and southwest, etc. What happens then?:hehe:

Nothing. I live in New England where we usually have snow on the ground and ice on the ponds where people can skate. We're expecting weather in the 40s where it was today along with rain, turning cold again Saturday night through to the holiday.

If you look at the weather patterns, this is the same as last year this time. Instead of the Jetstream pushing northwards, causing bubbles of high pressure and warm air to the Great Lakes, it's staying south. A good sign of the southern-based Jetstream is all the drought conditions across the south and west. The upward push of warm moist air hasn't been strong enough to pull up the moisture across the Texas Panhandle and into the Great Plains. With the southern-based Jetstream, The stronger Arctic air is pushing farther south where it collides with the warm air on the Gulf. This causes severe storms when the side-moving surface and upper level winds create shear. Shear, combined with lift (when the two air masses collide), instability, and moisture, creates Supercell thunderstorms. These are those severe storms that cause tornados. You'll notice later, or early next year in January, that there will be more storms up in the upper Great Plains, and that there will be a lot of hail. This is usually a pattern you see late in June and early July when the Great Plains are usually pulling moisture up off of the great grassy areas. This pattern used to be more common in the early spring, but it's been happening in early winter instead, or about 3 months in advance.

Here's a high precipitation Supercell thunderstorm. The clouds extends up to about 75,000 feet. This is only the base of it. The middle is the core where the rain is, and that light blue color is hail. There could be a tornado in there, but you'd never see it. The picture was taken by a friend Roger Hill. www,stormchase.net and Silver Lining Tours www.silverliningtours.com

I doubt that the exact hour is exactly the "time". There could be flaws in the math, and our calender may not be in sync with the predicted Mayan calender date. It could come next week, next year, next decade ... etc ... etc. Maybe it is just a calender that is the separation of the end of the Mayan Long Count, and the new Millennium

So when the exact countdown hour and second arrives, and passe's, don't be so comfortably self reassured, that just because a certain moment in time passed on our clocks, and nothing happened, that now everything is once A-OK again, and is all hunky dorey.

I could name dates and times when we were all happy, complacent and unsuspecting, then suddenly our world was torn apart so many, many, times in a slit second ... Yucatan asteroid, volcanic eruptions and earthquake(s): Mount Vesuvius, Siberia, Mexico, Northridge, Turkey, Iran, Japan, Chernobyl ... etc ... Incidents at Lockerbie, Nairobi, Yemen, Madrid, London, WTC, OK, CT, just to name a but a few.

So when the predicted date passe's without incident, we should all be humbled knowing that anything could happen, at any given time down the road. And we should all reflect on our lives, and change our smug thinking, viewpoints, attitudes, and behaviour ... whether you believe in a Creator, creation, or evolution. After all, this is a significant time of year celebration in many faiths worldwide ... not just gift giving shopping frenzy for presents.

Exactly... no one really knows when the end will be. Maybe if people keep this in mind, they'll be nice for a change. This who gives a cr*p attitude lately, I want to get as much as I can from everyone before it's too late, is getting a bit old.

My theory is the guy back in 3372 BC started making the calendar, and instead of stopping after 100 years or 1000 years he went crazy and kept going until he died or they dragged him off to the funny farm so he never got beyond Dec 21 2012.

UPDATE:
[h=5]Just got a message from a friend in Australia.... Dear America... We are all dead, but don't worry... Hell has wifi....[/h]

once again that's your (rather ignorant) opinion. There are plenty of other religions in the world, and plenty of other scientists and atheists in the world who believe otherwise

And Jim - apparently it's set to go off on US Time. I'm sure the Mayans accounted for US Dominance in the World Media :o:hehe:

And this sums it up. Is this Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific? How egocentric can peop

Wait... Some parts of the country are in daylight savings, and have gone to Standard Time. Others, such as Arizona, don't have daylight savings time? What about Hawaii? They're in yet another time zone.

@Sniper297 - You saw the cartoon I posted? LOL. I've said the same thing. The guy making the calendar had enough of the calendar making process, and figured that by the time people reached 2012, it would have been long enough. Even they Mayans themselves are laughing because they have a perpetual calendar that will start over again.

Speaking of calendars... There was a reset of some kind that took place in 1752 when the western world swapped from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. We lost 11 days which of course will throw off the schedule.

Whoever came up with this theory didn't get all the facts together or think this out.

We call that, Winter. Happens every year around here about this time. Just my guess.
