This is the most adorable little NatMouse ever. Without the caption telling me how I'm supposed to feel about this entirely friendly little creature this could have easily passed as a pro-independence Our Time Will Come Again sort of cartoon. BoB: Best cartoonist ever.

e: also maybe timg Slorrance's giant-panel cartoons maybe? but maybe that's just my scottish cringe speaking

There are more ways to be disordered than to be ordered. So, the amount of disorder in the universe tends to increase as a function of time. You can do work on something to reduce local disorder (ie the energy of the sun allowing life to happen), but the total disorder of the universe will still increase regardless.

Personally if forced to explain it I'd say that the amount of heat that can do work in the universe can never increase.

I spent the last 3 years trying to forget partial integrals, heat engines, and the various measures of free energy.

If I understand it correctly, the energy itself doesn't go anywhere. Conservation of energy/matter and all that good stuff. It just goes from a configuration where it can do work to one where it can't.

quote:

George W. Bush rarely criticized his successor to the presidency, Obama. Unfortunately, Barack is not about to follow that precedent. He is driving very hard to the hoop to destroy Trump. So much so that it almost resembles sedition. Like the Clintons before him, Obama got wealthy in office. He’s also aligned with the billionaire, George Soros, who is eager to help fund Barack’s mischief. Utilizing big money and connections, Obama will try to guide America back on the road toward globalism. Unlike Obama, Trump does not want to be president of the world. He wants to help America first and Obama can’t stand that.

We’ve had enough of Obama. He did his best to destroy America during his two terms. Now he’s directing his energy toward destroying President Trump. Similar to the main character in the film, ‘What About Bob?’ Obama simply won’t go away. Like the Clintons, he can’t give up his addiction to power.
So get ready to endure Obama and Hillary ad nauseam. They refuse to go away. They both deserve to have the America’s door slammed in their smug and entitled faces.

It spreads throughout the universe, slightly raising the base temperature.

Basically, under the second law, heat can never concentrate itself without outside help.

Yeah the energy that is 'lost' as entropy still exists, just in a different form than it was in.

e: The second law is really cool for the same reason it's really confusing to some people, because the actual statement is really simple but there are tons of important consequences that come up.

If you have a red hot nickel ball and a tub of ice, the heat from the ball will go into the ice and turn it into a tub of lukewarm water. Total energy is the same, but the nickel ball isn't red hot anymore so it can't melt anything else. You can't cool a drink with the ice that is now water.

I never took physics so I might be explaining it all wrong or missing something important, I just like Maxwell's demon over the messy desk analogy.

No that's a decent explanation of heat turning into a form that no longer does work.

Is this supposed to make Trump look like anything but a total nutjob?
I mean the finger-pointing for a desperate scapegoat is so transparent but I guess we're supposed to say "oh gosh he's right"?

E:
You know what, I notice that whenever "fake news" and "OBAMA!!!!" are brought up nobody mentions specifics. It's just "they're undermining the presidency!" but nobody cares to say what or how.
Did Obama encourage Trump to pursue an unconstitutional executive order? Did the specter of Hillary Clinton force Trump to discuss top secret material in public? Was it fake news or the Soros-funded cabals of paid protestors who made him botch every foreign relation attempt he's made? It doesn't matter, just focus any negativity on these scapegoats. Any bad feelings you have are their fault, regardless of rhyme or reason.

The problem is that those drat Democrats just didn't bother understanding the other side. They filled their heads up with stereotypes and didn't even attempt empathy or compassion, to see what their neighbors cared about. Looked at all this passion and anger and frustration and assumed "ah, they must be idiots".
Good thing us Republicans are above that kind of closed minded, snooty presumptuousness.

Seriously: check out how little detail is in here. He's been saving this one for a while, hoping to fill it up with little liberal goblins. But at least for today he can't find any to draw, because it's his man who's been too stupid to see the goblins he's surrounded himself with.
