  1. Zurich - Cape Town - McMurdo - Honolulu - Zurich

    You can basically set your bearing to 173° and fly along a straight line to see Switzerland, South Africa, Antarctica and Hawaii.

  2. Canada needs to be more aggressive in its responses to Trump's belligerence. Among many other things, we should be doing these immediately:

    1. Send Canadian troops to take part in defensive exercises in Greenland. This was a no-brainer, and the fact that Carney didn't instantly jump on it is a black mark for Canada's history.

    2. Axe - don't delay, completely cancel - the F-35 fighter deal. If there's a way to (legally - we're not Trump) get out of the current obligation of another squadron of them, do it.

    3. Sign the Gripen deal.

    4. Start hurting US businesses, more than we have been. Buying less of their booze is one thing, but we should be doing things like closing Canadian airspace to American-owned carriers. No more great-circle routes to Europe from most of the USA. Look for other opportunities to cause economic pain. Trump doesn't give a damn; nothing will stop him from doing whatever he wants. We - and the rest of the world - have to motivate the US public, its business leaders, and its legislative branch to remove him, and anyone that comes after him that tries to walk the same path.

  3. Hype for the Future 50I: The Equator

    The Equator covers what may be the widest latitude belt on the surface of Earth. Located approximately midway from north to south, the equatorial plane crosses land in Ecuador 🇪🇨, Colombia 🇨🇴, Brazil 🇧🇷, Gabon 🇬🇦, the Republic of the Congo 🇨🇬, the Democratic Republic of the Congo 🇨🇩, Uganda 🇺🇬, Kenya 🇰🇪, Somalia 🇸🇴, and Indonesia 🇮🇩. Perhaps the most iconic of the cities most directly associated with the equator is Pontianak, […]

  4. A page that is fun to play with:
    greatcirclemap.com/?routes=NZP
    On great circle you can enter several routes by airport names, ICAO or IATA codes and it will draw the shortest distance on the globe along the great circle.
    I found out that if I would fly pretty much in a straight line from Zurich northwards to Hawaii and didn't stop there, I'd arrive at McMurdo station in Antarctica. Those 3 places are on the same great circle 😱

  5. Well having just finished it, I reckon that #IndianaJones and the #GreatCircle is my favorite Indiana Jones movie.

  6. Finished playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It offered a similar adventure to Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. While modern games are more violent, this title reduced the slaughterhouse-like nature of most AAA games. It was enjoyable, and I appreciate that it doesn’t force me to relive the past after completing it.

  9. So a HUGE box showed up at my doorstep.

    It's the pre-order of my #XboxSeriesX #IndianaJones & the #GreatCircle - Collector's Edition.

    It's the size of a small refrigerator & contains a Steelbook for the game, an Allmaker Relic replica (whatever that is), a journal & a "Great Circle Globe".

  10. @inti I call this Pueblo Colorado Circle. Are #geoglyph or #intaglio better?
    Another #GreatCircle on #PachaMama. Outlines in my graphic are relative sizes.
    #Stonehenge fits inside the tiny circle beside #NewarkOctagon.

    Results are center-on-center ratios, margins of error less than 4m.

    Another #GreatCircle etched on #PachaMama, smaller than Tumi Chucua #Zanja, larger than the #Newark Great Circle. The three circles in my graphic illustrate their relative sizes.
    The tiny circle in the center is the margin of error for their center-on-center arc distances ratio from Eagle Mound at the center of Newark's Great Circle. The ratio is #Phi squared to one, 2.618034 to 1.0.
    Phi is 1.618034...
