![]() This story has been repeatedly debunked, but I figured I’d give it a shot myself–making sure not to try it on any of the afore-mentioned magical days–when it should be utterly impossible because Unspecified Reasons. For more on this phenomenon, see my Skeptical Inquiree column “Egging the Equator” in the July/August 2016 issue of Skeptical Inquirer magazine. The same is of course true for balancing a broom or anything else if you are convinced it can only happen one day a year, you are unlikely to try at other times of the year (and realize it works then as well). If you believe that eggs won’t balance on other days, this belief is transmitted subconsciously to your hands. Similar rumours have persisted over the years that claim you can only stand an egg on its end during the equinox. If you are convinced that an egg will balance more easily on a certain day you will try a little harder, be more patient, and use steadier hands. While it is true that a whole variety of brooms really can be stood on their ends without being held up, it has nothing to do with the equinox or planetary alignments, nor is it only possible on a specific day of the year. Martin Gardner, writing in the May/June 1996 Skeptical Inquirer about the myth that egg balancing can only be done on the first day of Spring (a tradition he traces back to ancient China) explains that “Such self-deception is not hard to understand. The British tabloid The Daily Mirror–a reliable source for unreliable, sensationalized information since 1903–offered a story about goofy beliefs about the equinox including that eggs and brooms can be balanced on that day.įor many it does indeed work, though there’s no scientific reason why it should only work on that day. YouTube videos can be found of many people trying this quirk for themselves, mostly successfully (videos showing the trick not working are of course less popular and interesting). #3 Social media makes us do silly stuff. □Īlthough a number of #BroomChallenge participants claimed that some sort of meteorological phenomenon caused their brooms to stand on end, that was likely confirmation bias at play furthermore, the equinox, spring or fall, does not take place in February.We are just past the 2017 summer solstice (June 20 and 21 were the longest days of the year for anyone living north of the equator), and amid the celebrations, pagan rituals, and Stonehenge treks, there were many who performed a trick seemingly unique to that day.Īccording to some, eggs and brooms can somehow be balanced on their ends on that day (and/or on the vernal equinox, when day and night length are about the same and/or on the first day of Spring, take your pick). The orbit of the Earth around the sun causes Seasons. #2 The Tilt of the earth is always ~23.5° it never changes during the year. It has to do with the shape of the bottom, not the Earth. #1 Your Broom will do this any day of the year. I can’t believe people are falling for the #broomchallenge. Meteorologist Brad Panovich shared a post on his Facebook page debunking the “broom challenge”: ![]() While several of the posts cited the vernal equinox - the day of the year the sun crosses the celestial equator going north and which marks the official beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and kicks off autumn in the Southern Hemisphere - as the purported cause of standing brooms, the equinox would not be for more than a month, on Maand furthermore, would not have any effect on whether a broom would stand on end. There is a rumor going around that said the earth is at such a perfect tilt or equinox that gravity can make broom sticks stand on its own. All sorts of people (and brooms) got in on the fun: On February 10 2020, memes and posts about a #BroomChallenge began circulating around Facebook, claiming that an arcane gravitational anomaly (usually chalked up to being caused by a “planetary alignment” or the “vernal equinox”) enabled people to stand brooms on end without tipping over.

![]() The best way to do this is by keeping all of your pictures on a single Google account - or link them through MultCloud - which increases the chance that the built-in detection will delete your duplicates. The quickest, easiest and most reliable way to avoid having duplicates is to prevent them from being made in the first place. The picture will stay in your trash folder for 60 days in case you remove the wrong one, but after this period it will be irretrievable. However, it does have limitations as to what it will delete, and there are some steps you can follow to improve the effectiveness of this feature.Ĭlick the “move to trash” button to delete the image. This is really simple to use as it’s automatically enabled and will delete duplicates without any user input. This will scan the contents and metadata of any image you upload to the cloud and check to make sure you haven’t already uploaded it. Google does try to prevent exact duplicates with an “identical duplicate detection” feature. Use Identical Duplicate Detection With Google Photos Sometimes, when you add a new device to your Google Photos or enable the “backup & sync” feature, it will upload a file that is already in the cloud because the two pictures have slightly different metadata. ![]() You can also accidentally create copies when you edit a photo, and depending on the changes, the new file can be almost identical to the original.īugs and glitches can also create duplicate photos in your Google Drive. This is often because you didn’t realize the picture was already uploaded. The biggest cause of duplicate photos is that the user uploaded them twice. Some Reasons for Duplicate Photos in Google Drive ![]() Luckily, there is a way to delete duplicate files, even if you’ve edited them and there are too many to search manually. However, most people don’t want a duplicate photo of every event taking up their limited cloud storage. Then you can delete a photo without removing it from your computer.įinding duplicates in Google Photos isn’t a rare occurrence, especially if you’re storing a lot of images. You can either remove both the local and cloud versions at once, keep the one you didn’t select or set it to ask every time. In the “preferences” option for the “backup & sync” feature, you can change what Google does when you delete files from your drive.

There were a lot of things that made it hard to put the fight here. I’m going to bring everything tomorrow night.Ĭanelo Álvarez and John Ryder stepped on the scales at a ceremonial weigh-in on Friday at the Teatro Degollado in Guadalajara. It’s an honor for me and I’m proud of it. I enjoy this because it is hard to put on this kind of fights and have people respond like this. ![]() I’m glad and grateful that the people respond like this. You can expect something special, and the result is even better. “I was always thinking about fighting again in Guadalajara of course. It’s going to be one of the best nights of my career for sure. And now we are in the biggest stadium and the biggest response from the people. “I started my career here in Guadalajara in the little arenas. “It’s going to be something special after 12 years,” Álvarez said at yesterday’s ceremonial weigh-in at the Teatro Degollado. It’s Canelo’s 35th professional fight on Mexican soil but the first since 26 November 2011, when he stopped Kermit Cintrón inside five rounds in the third defense of his WBO title at 154lbs. Álvarez has promised “something special” for tonight’s main event. I’m not in the main fight hotel so everything is a bit calmer, it’s nice and we’ll dial in when we need to.” I’ve got good people around me, familiar faces, and there’s nothing new here. My career has always been a work in progress. “I have always believed that I was destined for bigger things. He regained his world title so now it’s down to me.

Obviously, he’s had the surgery on his hand and maybe there’s question marks on wear and tear, but I want the best version of him because I will give the best version of me.īritain’s John Ryder finds himself in hostile territory in Guadalajara. ![]() Last year he had the Bivol defeat, I found it strange that he went back to light heavyweight, and then he went back to 168 and while I don’t think it was a bad performance, I think people were expecting him to stop him and put the final nail in the coffin of the trilogy and he didn’t, although he did win comfortably. “I think it is a good time to fight him, he has a lot of miles on the clock. I’ve worked hard to get here, and I deserve to be here. People think I am here for the paycheck, I am not, I am here to show that dreams can come true. It’s been a long time since he boxed here and who expects anything of me? No one. Most fighters have gone to Vegas or Texas to fight him, but I’m in Guadalajara in the Lion’s Den. “I think to go and fight a champion, you should go to their backyard to take their titles and that’s what I am doing. “I know it’s going to be hostile I am prepared for it,” Ryder said this week. “I needed a couple rounds, three rounds, to start punching to know I was good with the hand. I respect my opponents because I know they’re coming for everything.”Īsked about his surgically repaired left hand, Álvarez says it “felt really good” and that he’s “ready for everything”. I’m in this position a long time and I know. “When they’re going for everything (all the championship belts), they turn it on. “He’s a very strong fighter, man,” Álvarez says. The Mexican credits Ryder for being a “very strong fighter”, adding that his own status as boxing’s biggest star tends to bring that out in his opponents. I’m glad to be here and thankful (to be here) with my people.” “I’m blessed to be here with my people who have supported me from the beginning. “It’s a historic moment for me,” Álvarez says in his much-improved English. 05.33 BST Álvarez: 'It's a historic moment for me' |
