  Yeah, because that’s where UK gets most of its oil from? *cough Hormuz *cough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do pendulums and space shuttles feel the effects of earth rotation but airplanes do not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They are two different things: the space shuttle gets a boost of speed from the speed of the rotating earth, while the pendulum is undergoing precession.

  The difference between airplanes and the spacecraft is that airplanes move through a ‘static’ atmosphere with friction which just leaves them moving point A to B. Whereas spacecraft are accelerating into space, into virtually no friction, so having that speed of the earth to start off with is a bonus.

  The pendulum only gets friction in the same direction of it’s swing, however the earth’s rotation introduces the precession. The frictional forces on an airplane are mad and everywhere on the plane, with the plane constantly adjusting so precession would have no effect on its path.

  A bit like the Elden Ring of jrpgs (well, it’s not that hard)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's funny how once a country has Universal Healthcare they never give it up.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Diverse???

  Race/Ethnicity? Religion? Language? Cultures? Politics? The US is a bit short on diversity in some of these.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You gotta crouch for better bowel movements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays an RPG⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A bit like SMT (me playing Nocturne) where not a single one of your demons has the required skill that would make it so much easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The crazy bastards, they've finally done it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  10,000 fucking miles. What is this magic?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motive Brush Manifestations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like I am looking at Goddess Inari

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In life of every man, there's moment when things becomes soft and sloppy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Too much stiff competition

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google mapped the brain and nervous system of a fruit fly, and modders forced it to play Doom⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a simulated brain, so not a real fly brain unless we live in a simulation, so maybe there’s no difference. Hmm…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy Kirkday!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So all elementary school students to learn basic math.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨help i⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried this on bing, apparently one possibility is that I accidentally revived Hitler.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who approved this color combination?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As a beauty product it’s keeping packaging fashionable while keeping the info. I don’t think this would be legal for a drink or food item.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon comes into some money⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems like 14 days of chemically laced, processed food being absorbed by anon’s body.

  This is epic on a DNA level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First test flight of largest all-electric aircraft used just $5 of electricity⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It must’ve flew a few feet above the ground given that the only location was the airport.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Water companies in England and Wales explore ‘surge pricing’ during drought⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Data centres getting surge pricing ja?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the trouble, just under 5000 deaths when you take away freak accidents (like the Japanese worker who was inundated with highly radioactive liquid) so those numbers must fall under a specific estimate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quoting 5k deaths when Chernobyl was a single incident probably contributing to most of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Cat Is Being Nice? Think Again. A new study finds that sometimes cats groom each other specifically to be annoying.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like almost every bit of research that comes out just proves cats are assholes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to be infringing pretty hard to get content removed I bet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you never talk about what you're reading? Me:⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll take this. When we talk about daemons, these are often helpful spirits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-fish language⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I’ve seen a few sea bass sing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, yes they are⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But can a dog organise your house, cook your food, educate your children and breastfeed your babies?

  It’s going over my head

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Bluetooth is turned off on my Windows 11 pc but the Bluetooth mouse still works. How is that possible if Bluetooth is turned off?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what mouse you are using but my Logitech mouse has both the dongle and Bluetooth connectivity. The dongle is straight up connected as long as its plugged in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Infuriating but pretty cool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, to be fair the water pipe analogy is pretty good as the pressure performs work done per unit volume, and voltage is work done per unit charge which takes up a specific volume of the wire.

  But you’re right, with A.C. that analogy gets complicated unless supposedly you had water going back and forth in the pipe, but that is still transmitting energy like a wave does.
