    Why they changed it? I can't say.

    It's because the Dutch basically traded it to the English for Suriname during one of the Anglo-Dutch Wars. It felt weird having a major colony named after your national enemy's capital city (imagine a New Moscow or New Ottawa, US?), so they changed it to one of their cities.

    Sure, but there is a difference in repulsiveness between a man wearing I'll fitting cargo shorts and chunky sandals and a boxy polo, and a man wearing who looks like he headbutted a CRT monitor to death and is wearing part of its carcass as a trophy

    Ottawa is pretty far south, isn't it

    I suppose the currents and weather patterns from the great lakes and all that shit are what end up making it so cold? I don't know

    The temperature varies by at least 80 C from extreme to extreme every year

    One of the first videos was a dude using his google glasses to record him playing LOTRO on quad monitors, and then he had two monitors behind his quad monitors that (let him pull up anything he ever wanted while doing everything else) and then I was like, you cannot possibly integrate visual data from electronic glasses on your head and four panel monitors in front of you while also being at an angle to view the dual monitors behind that.

    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson
