Sure! But at that point you might as well just have a minivan with the seats folded down or removed

It would “work”, but it would be aerodynamically unstable so would be limited to low speeds (<~25mph). This is why this configuration is quite common in construction/industry site machinery, where high speeds are unnecessary and unsafe.

You powers do not extend into that realm, socerer. You doom us all by deigning to enter it. Folly!

Didn’t watch obsession but backrooms is fun. Has a low-budget horror movie vibe which isnt really a bad thing. The horror itself isn’t especially scary, but quite unsettling. The ending I thought was quite weak, it really obviously tries to set itself up for a sequel in quite an off-putting way

- Comment on How are you using your laptop (with internet) that still runs Windows10? 3 weeks ago:
No - I prefer gnome. KDE has more “inbuilt” customisability in that you don’t necessarily have to mess about with extensions, but gnome has a large and well enough maintained extensions community that this doesn’t matter. I just thought it’d be more up your alley if you prefer cinnamon, which is also windows-like

Did you try the KDE plasma environment for fedora on desktop?
- Comment on iHave a Lovesick Teacher 5 weeks ago:
This is a better generalised solution, yeah. Though I do think that as far as conceptual clarity goes, doing it geometrically is a bit more transparent than using the chain rule, even if it’s sort of constrained to constant speed in this case
- Comment on iHave a Lovesick Teacher 5 weeks ago:
Rigourously overcomplicating the problem: Let dy = distance boy travels north in time dt, and dx = distance girl travels east in time dt. We know that dy = 5dx from the question, hence:
| |
dy | | |__ dx
And the distance they separate dS in time dt is clearly the hypoteneuse. So we can write:
dS = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2)
And divide through by dt:
dS/dt = sqrt( (dx/dt)^2 + (dy/dt)^2 )
Simply gives the rate of separation dS/dt as 5.1 feet per second.

I’m not sure what you understand by the word “ideology”
- Comment on Major L 1 month ago:
You are incorrect. Marx felt strongly that his ideas should be used politically to change the state of the world. Aspects Marxism can be applied in a scientific/apolitical way, but this is not what it was initially developed for.

The near side is at times blocked by the earth, and the far side is not. Simple as that
- Comment on Some cheeses are luminescent. 2 months ago:
“Dark side of the moon” is the most idiotic phrase ever. If anything, the far side gets significatnly more sunlight so should really be called the “light side”.

A huge number of Gen X and boomers have a strange idea that you’re supposed to distrust and challenge doctors constantly. Like they’re going to try to cheat you or something.
