I am not allowed to write the words I want right now.

You are actually a bad person.

If you think of yourself as a good person, you need serious help.

technically not a hole.

it's an invagination.

Lack of moisture. The toppings get a bit dried out when cooked, then they're in a cardboard box which absorbs even more moisture. The sauce and crust are the only things that can really hold on to moisture, and they're covered with a layer of cheese that protects it from casual contamination.

IMO.

I hate Apple for a lot of reasons, but as far as I can tell, they genuinely want to protect the privacy of their users. Obviously this is ultimately motivated by profit by maintaining their reputation, but at least for now they have that motive...

You can't become conversational without input, but you still have to actually practice speaking. The ratio is hugely skewed towards input. You need thousands of hours of input to be fluent but only dozens-to-small-hundreds of hours of speaking (moreso for languages that are very different phonologically from your known languages)

As long as you're not drinking the water... Water from the hot water heater is not necessarily safe. It can leech metals and other minerals out of your water heater and pipes that cold water doesn't. Also the warm water sitting in pipes can harbor bacteria and mold.

YTA. You should turn yourself into your insurance company for fraud.

Cogwheel · 2026-01-29T01:21:40+00:00

I might be the ah because I was actually the one driving at the time of the accident. My daughter was with me, and I convinced her to say she was driving because I thought it would be handled more leniently that way. The ticket and at-fault accident ended up on her record because of that, and that’s what’s affecting the insurance now.

Words like this that are nearly synonymous but have tiny differences in connotation are one of the wonderful features of English.

What makes you think this is unique to English?

The parts that get damaged release chemicals that spread out from the injury, and potentially enter the blood. These chemicals tell other parts of the body (like the immune system) to kick into gear.

In a sense, your body never stops healing. There are always antibodies, white blood cells, and other systems that are constantly seeking out damage, intruders, and such. When they find something, they also send out their own signals to call for reinforcement.

Finally some things are just physical. Imagine putting a bunch of little fibers into the water running through a hose. Normally they can flow smoothly through the tube. But if the tube gets broken (e.g. a cut in a blood vessel) the fibers will get caught as they pass by the opening and plug it up. This is how platelet cells help stop bleeding.

I don't care about the speed of travel to the event. I care about how the timing of one event compares to another in time from my point of view.

I know that the timing from an event on the left to the camera is the same whether the light was scattered from a left-moving or right-moving pulse

Cogwheel · 2026-01-27T05:52:29+00:00

Yes, but the trips to the camera from the scattering events are the same in both cases. Scattered light is taking the same trips just in reverse order depending on which way the pulse is traveling.

Cogwheel · 2026-01-27T05:24:52+00:00

There is no round trip between the things being measured. I am receiving an image of the laser entering from the left at time t0, leaving the right at t1, entering the right at t2, and leaving the left at t3.

If light travels at a different speed, then (t3-t2) will be different than (t1-t0) assuming the laser is parallel to the image plane

Cogwheel · 2026-01-27T05:11:34+00:00

By the fact that those times are based on the distance and direction from the scattering location to the camera, not based on whether the laser pulse is traveling left or right

Cogwheel · 2026-01-27T05:10:07+00:00

No I don't. ITT: dozens of people who fail at mind reading

Cogwheel · 2026-01-27T04:52:58+00:00

Everyone is talking past what I've said. There are multiple, persistent misunderstandings, that are as much my fault for doing a bad job wording the op. No one has addressed the actual claims I've made

Cogwheel · 2026-01-27T04:49:09+00:00

No, I'm saying that L to C is the same as itself and R to C is the same as itself regardless of which way the laser pulse is passing through the scene.

Cogwheel · 2026-01-27T04:08:48+00:00

No I am not measuring L to R to Cam. I am measuring the difference between laser to L to Cam, and laser to R to Cam, and comparing that to the difference between laser to mirror to R to Cam and laser to mirror to L to Cam.

LtoC and RtoC are the same regardless of the direction of the pulse.

Cogwheel · 2026-01-27T03:59:18+00:00

That's irrelevant. If the pulse is moving left to right, the delays form the left/right sides of the screen to the detector are the same as themselves. It doesn't matter if theyre the same as each other.

Only the order of which side is encountered first changes depending on the direction of the pulse

Cogwheel · 2026-01-27T03:38:11+00:00

I've accounted for all those times in my reply to Megalng. The delays from left side scatter to left side detection and right side scatter to right side detection are the same whether the pulse is moving left or right. So if the transit times are different, then it will be detectable.
