4 Revolutionary Riddles

ChaosEngine says...

I just realised. I'm wrong about the lap question.

The trick is that it's a LAP of a track... the distance can change between lap 1 and 2, depending on how far from the centre you run.

4 Revolutionary Riddles

newtboy says...

1) < 1/2 full of honey or other slime
2) bike will go backwards 1/4 pedal turn (forcing the pedal to rotate forward but move backwards) regardless of gearing because the wheel rotation/travel is much longer than the pedal rotation/travel

3) (T1+T2)/2 can never equal or be less than (T1)/2...so impossible unless you can finish lap 2 before you start it

4) a small portion of the lip of the wheels, farther out than the part that rides on the rail

Side note, how did you all get the numbers mixed up? #2 is the bike, not the track.

Sikorsky - Boeing Future Vertical Lift

transmorpher says...

Looks like the prototype was flying a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNXJE2gKVK4

Well at least a few laps of the airfield anyway

Khufu said:

So if this next generation helicopter is so great, why are we only seeing a CG representation? surely they've built some sort of prototype if they can make all these claims. Or are all these fantastic benefits only available in-engine with Unreal or something?

Cyclist Uses Aerodynamics Over Leg Strength

Khufu says...

ya, for velodrome or maybe a criterium where you do quick laps of a few city blocks, but you aren't going to find a fixed gear race where you tour through a mountain range and do big descents;)

newtboy said:

Never say never.
It's abnormal, but there are fixed gear road races.

NYC's Best Burger, Explained

newtboy says...

Once again (we've been on this ride together before) I do not feel the shame you try repeatedly to lay in my, and any other non vegan's lap.
That does not erase your constant attempts at food shaming.
This time you called us all cheese junkies....and you don't think we understand that you're trying to derisively shame us? Perhaps you need the self reflection.
You didn't offer scientific fact, only silly derision and a link to propaganda, as is your M.O.

transmorpher said:

The feeling of shame is usually your subconscious reminding you that you are acting against your better judgement.
If you feel shame when you read a scientific fact, then take the time to explore that feeling.
If you aren't doing anything wrong then no amount of scientific facts would make you feel shame.

Answer To "Most Muslims Are Peaceful".

enoch says...

ok,first off?
this is heritage foundation,a right wing think tank.
this by itself is not terribly damning.

however.

bridgette gabriel is a spokeswoman for the FRC:family research center.

the FRC,along with james dobson's "focus on the family" ,were both funded with seed money from the families of betsy devos and erik prince,the amway pyramid scheme dynasty.

so what enoch?
what's the big deal?

well,when you understand the underlying religious philosophies of the the devos/prince family.you know that they are christian supremacists who wish to install an amercian government that adheres to "christian" laws and "christian" values.

yeah..you know that whole "sharia" law that has rightwingers pissing themselves? same thing,but this is with JESUS,so it has to be good,right?

and what this gabriel woman does is utter revisionist history to fit her own narrative and agenda.i am talking fucking blatant,but since most americans don't even know their OWN history,never mind the history of a religion they profess to love and worship,they just lap this womans bullshit up as if it were spoken from god's own lips.

because let us be frank,and clear.

christian right wingers literally piss themselves at the thought of muslims.and this woman hand feeds that fear.

this woman is a fucking disgrace.
9/11!
benghazi!

this woman feeds on your ignorance.
stop being a fucking tool to demagogues like this fucking twat waffle.

Looks Like Trump is Now Peddling Russian Propaganda

Drachen_Jager says...

Well he does say he has no 'smoking gun'.

The thing is, nothing he said is proof, but everything he said follows logical steps and a chain of verifiable evidence to a conclusion, which cannot be said of the 1001 supposedly 'disqualifying' offenses the GOP claims Clinton's been party to. Olberman's story is exactly what investigative reporters are supposed to do and exactly what they've been failing to do in the US for decades now.

How come we're just finding out about Trump's past rapey comments now? Why wasn't the media asking those Miss Teen USA contestants about their experiences until this week? The media has fallen flat and Olberman is one of the few trying to prop it up again. Hell, he's not even a real journalist, he's a sports reporter. Maybe that's why he missed the part in Journalism school about rolling over for big money and special interests like a lap dog.

His conclusions may be questioned, but he is clear from the report they are HIS conclusions, not verifiable facts. I see nothing wrong with that.

radx said:

On a personal note: Olberman throwing accusations at foreign governments without solid evidence while claiming that WikiLeaks "hacks Podesta's email" is not helping his credibility. He's always been prone for exaggeration, but at a time when your military is bombing people in nearly a dozen countries and you're fighting a proxy-war against a nuclear-armed superpower in Syria, going off on an almost McCarthy-ite rant is not helping.

Bernie Sanders Explains His Reluctance To Endorse Hillary

robbersdog49 says...

What's going to be really shit if Trump wins is that it will be blamed on Sanders.

He's campaigning for all the right reasons and he's trying to move politics along, away from the stale and shitty status quo. Good things will only happen if people really work for them.

But so much of the media and the democratic party seem to want to keep their cushy status quo that they'll spin this out as his fault for trying to be disruptive. The public will lap it all up and progressives wil become a thing to hate, to be scared of.

It'll be shit.

World Record pit stop. Wheels changed in 1.92 seconds

mxxcon says...

Are you losing laps to your competitors?
Are you paying your "15 minute" oil change place proportionate amount of money that those guys are getting paid for their 1.92second service?

Payback said:

...this is why I get pissed at waiting for upwards of an hour at my neighbourhood "15 minute" oil change place.

Apparently The Greatest Airbag Crisis In History Is Upon Us

newtboy says...

Totally true....but in all honesty, my car is so rusted that the entire body is really a crumple zone at this point, but not an engineered crumple zone.
The bronco is much taller/higher than the discovery in that vid, and much tougher, with 500%-1000% more bumper, but it only has lap belts, not even a shoulder strap, so in that situation if I don't drive up over them I'll probably take a steering wheel through the chest.
EDIT:The Jeep is even higher, so more likely to drive over anything, with no bumper, just protruding front tires to bounce off or pop, full 2.5" roll cage, and four point seat belts attached to the cage. It's safer than any normal car made today thanks to the add ons.

BUT, remember, the crumple zones work to decelerate BOTH cars in an accident, not just the car with the crumple zone, so as long as the car I hit has them, I'll be OK....maybe. My CAR will certainly survive better than the newer car, at least. ;-)

oritteropo said:

Structural failure isn't the only risk. The point of modern safety features is to reduce the impact of the crash on the occupants. If you crash an army tank into a large tree at high speed, the tank itself is likely to be fine but the occupants probably won't. In your case, whether your car is better or worse than the average modern car in a crash is probably "it depends".

How does your car compare to the Discovery in http://videosift.com/video/Crash-tests-SUV-vs-Minivan-Which-one-does-better ?
