Neodymium Magnets Reaching Terminal Velocity

MilkmanDan says...

@Payback -- The Youtube comments area is not to be considered a potential source of rational discussion.

Assume that one concedes to your point about "terminal velocity" being the wrong phrase to use here. What would be better? And I'll note that there are many potential metrics for "better" -- conveying the correct idea precisely, doing so in a concise manner, etc.

"Neodymium Magnets Reaching a Velocity at Which the Centrifugal Force Upon Them Exceeds the Magnetic Force Holding Them Together" makes for a more accurate title, but might lose brevity points. The "Terminal Velocity" title conveys maybe only 75% of the accuracy of the more precise title, but with a greater than 25% savings in length (5 words vs 19). Although I'm sure a more optimally brief AND accurate title exists.

Not trying to be snarky, and I 100% agree that there are situations where saying something with complete accuracy and careful precision is extremely important. But perhaps an online video about magnets spinning apart can be at least partially excused for opting for brevity over accuracy, especially in something as trivial as the title. Especially when the inaccuracy can be noted and explained in the comments section by well meaning viewers.

Hyperloop Prototype: First Successful Test Run

I believe it's going to be both, as implied by the [very brief] animation. It'll be a mag-lev train contained within a pneumatic vacuum tube or whatevs.

It's a maglev monorail? I thought this was going to use pneumatic tubes and stuff. I'm all for high speed rail, but I'm much more for Jetsons-style wooshy tube transportation.

A 70+ page legal brief claiming citizens have no legal right to "stimulate their genitals"?!?
I found this HILARIOUS.
Am I alone in that?
I guess it will take a self *promote to find out.
That's what PP are for, right?
