That would be just over thirteen and a half cups of water, which may or may not be a lot depending on heat, humidity, activity level, and most of all, are you thirsty?

> The study, published in the scientific journal Addiction, concludes that there is more than simply a link or statistical association between alcohol and cancer that could be explained by something else.

This isn't published to any of the major health journals, rather it's been published in the journal Addiction which probably doesn't have the most balanced view on the role of alcohol in society.

The source http://imgur.com/DrEinPB states the problem using "256" not "2^8". I'm not sure if the tweeter is trying to be clever, but he isn't saving any characters by using the exponential notation.

If you're trying to save characters in a tweet, you don't have any savings in using exponential over decimal for base two until 2^14.

You can view a live simulation using a Mac/PC app downloadable from:

http://eyes.jpl.nasa.gov/eyes-on-juno.html

From the description on the page: In this interactive visualization, you can ride along with the Juno spacecraft in real-time at any time during the entire mission. For example, watch the arrival at Jupiter on the 4th of July, 2016, or see Juno use Earth’s gravity as a slingshot to pick up speed, or just learn about the science of Jupiter and about the spacecraft itself. You can even turn on and off the magnetic field, aurorae, and the radiation belt, all in 3D! All of this and more is waiting to be explored.

"Gnu Atheists is a pun on the label New Atheists that quickly took on a life of its own. As a pun, it is equivalent in meaning to New Atheists, and the two can be substituted for each other anywhere they occur."
