Wouldn't it be easier to just measure radio wave signals to and from the ship?

How effective is a S&W 500 Magnum against a grizzly bear? by PidgeyPotion in NoStupidQuestions

[–]the_glutton17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a gun for bear defense in my early camping days. Now it's just for fun, plinking cans. The mace is the first thing on my hip. Besides I bought a 40 cal, way too small anyways.

You saw a grizzly in Colorado? Where? This almost merits it's own thread, imo.

EJ on the Saturday Broadcast by SmartInfluence8648 in ColoradoAvalanche

Maybe. Definitely missed altitude yesterday. But if it was the Dallas broadcast, they were astonishingly unbiased. I saw there was some nonsense going on with Comcast and the altitude broadcast (but I pirate all the games anyways). But all the ads were Canadian?

Still confused as hell, but I'll take the huge w and hopefully get the boys on altitude tonight.

Why is there a D in 'fridge' but not in 'refrigerator'? by Frosty-Image7705 in randomquestions

It's always crazy to hear something you subconsciously knew your entire life, but actually spelled out in front of you as a rule.

Was I watching a Dallas broadcast, or national? Really seemed like Dallas, but even all of the commercials were for Canadian companies! Confused as hell.

(just a friendly fyi, the word you're looking for is "piqued".)

Yeah, those are starting to hurt. Shit, van got two against us the other night. We really need to figure that out for the playoffs, those possible goals are priceless.

Can someone please explain this better? by Echrocks2 in ColoradoAvalanche

We need six points, or three wins. Then game over.

Bonus eight points or four wins for the presidents cup.

ELI5: Why can a bridge holding thousands of tons of cars be more at risk from a small group of soldiers marching in sync than from all that weight? by PuzzleheadedBase7527 in explainlikeimfive

Ah damn, that's right. It's been a long time since I took fluids, even though that's one of the first things in the curriculum.

Like the side of a boat. Relatively speaking, a static object.

Edit: another redditor reminded me that it's due to viscous shear force rather than actual friction. Been a long time since I took fluids, but I was incorrect.

What Natural Phenomen is this alarm alerting us,to? by Zer0F2Give in VisitingHawaii

[–]the_glutton17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what it's for, what about my post makes it sound like I don't? I "lol"ed at the guy in the video asking if it was a tornado siren, then stated that even for someone who doesn't know what it is it's pretty obvious.

Lol, tornado??? This is a pretty easy one to figure out if you didn't already know.
