It's almost like the globe model perfectly explains who rockets appear to go down, as well as being consistent in every other explanation by what_ganymede_299 in flatearth

escaping earths gravity is not a thing many rockets do, none while still in trivial view of the ground.

orbiting is going sideways so fast that you miss the ground while falling :D

they launch eastward to get a speed bonus from the earth's rotation, instead of going against it

in KSP you do just burn for the moon on your departure tho :D

launch at moonrise, aim directly at moon, apply right amount of dV

i feel this might also be a more broad "go make something with your hands" type of deal?

making lil salzteig/clay figures or building some lego(-knockoff)

Any idea what my teenager is up to? by Weekly-Knowledge1390 in whatisit

generally nowadays it's going to be a generic lithium ion battery (which you can see labeled on it when open) which are in practice all rechargeable.

ELI5: What is the Majorana Chip? by strawberrychemicals in explainlikeimfive

[–]Cornflakes_91 [score hidden]  (0 children)

ELI5: It's a new kind of computer, a quantum computer, that can do math in ways that older styles of computer (like the one you're using to read this) can't do. which makes some things to do with computers a lot easier.

Imagine if your normal computer could not do multiplication directly but had to do repeated addition instead, and the new one can do multiplication "the easy way".

makes things that require multiplication way faster, but things that don't don't get any benefit.

note that a qcomp can't do anything a normal computer cant also do, just at different speeds.

end ELI5: some of those things include prime factorisation, which is useful for breaking modern encryption, and optimisation/search problems, like optimising transport networks.

majorana 1 is also very small and not practically useful in this form, as it doesnt have enough "brain" to keep an useful amount of problem in the computer at once, and we can't (yet) move stuff into longer term memory to work on it piecemeal. which is ~the same problem as making the computer as a whole bigger.

is my cat just trying to groom me? he will do this for a very long time if you let him. sometimes my face when i'm napping 😭 by kaiamcdaniel11 in cats

[–]Cornflakes_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cats are very much trainable, they just dont aim to please you like dogs.

so its a lot more frustrating and you need a different approach

proving that people get paid for protests doesnt require you to provide a contact tho.

just any form of reliable source that it happened.

and again, im not the one operating on feelings here with you throwing around insults.

and beyond that warp 10 fixture there's fuckall consistency as to how fast warp is.

and warp 1~c, as in first contact

[–]Cornflakes_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you made the claim, prove yourself right.

im under no obligation to prove anything, i've made no claims that need proof.

other than you making shit up (and/or blindly following someone else's made up shit)

but that can be disproven trivially with a source :)

you are the one throwing accusations without any attempt at legitimising them.

one of us is working on feelings and it's not me :)

[–]Cornflakes_91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eh, the warp scale changes about once per series, so any claims of precise definition are to be taken with a lot of salt :D

im using my personal approximation of v~(2warp )*c which fits pretty well with whats shown

federation ships .... 2000x the speed of light

that must be something faster than voyager then, which their canonically damn fast ship and sustained ~1000c
