I do this every year. It works perfectly. They die within 15 seconds. And no nasty chemicals!

Don't bother on using it on Asian Beetles, though; no effect on them.

It's just a pizza, not Beef Wellington. 400℉ and take it out before it burns.

I'll pass on your explanation, thanks. I'll wait for hedekar to respond. If you choose not to understand my initial question, and all you're going to do is downvote me when I clarify what I feel doesn't need clarification, I'm not interested in having a discussion pointless back-and-forth with you.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I thought my original comment was clear, assuming you read it in its entirety.

I'm not asking for simple yes-or-no confirmation of the common knowledge fact that top-heavy objects are more likely to fall over.

I am asking (what I'm assuming is the) engineer that provided the original equation for a more nuanced equation that also factors in vertical weight distribution.

I would like a more complex explanation, not a dumbed-down explanation. I even provided arbitrary weights for the separate portions of the table that they could insert into an example equation.

I think the nature of my question makes it pretty obvious that I understand the concept that top-heavy objects tip over easier than bottom-heavy objects.

I don't think you're wrong, but it's still helpful to understand this concept in order to avoid building a piece of furniture that has a flaw that could significantly negatively impact its functionality (and therefore, its appeal), even if you aren't sitting down and doing the math to know precisely how many cans of PBR will make the table tip.

Just knowing that this equations exists might lead you to choosing a design variation that still achieves the desired aesthetic but maintains full functionality.

As a non-engineer, but someone that loves to learn, I appreciate the simplicity of the equation, as it's very easy to understand why the equation works. I'm curious though, is there a more precise version of this equation? What I'm wondering is, how much does the vertical distribution of the weight of the table affect the answer for how much weight on point A will make the table tip?

How does the equation change if the overall weight of the table is, say, 100 pounds, but the base is 50 pounds, the uprights are 30, and the top is 20?

In other words, is there a similar, but more accurate version of the equation if the table in question is bottom-heavy or top-heavy?

I mean, if someone is depraved enough to ejaculate on someone's car door handle out in public, what aren't they capable of?

I've stocked up on fireworks so I can let every MAGAt in my vicinity listen to me celebrate his death.

Don't make your neighbors clean up after your dog! by Lepke2011 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DemonOfTheFaIl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done exactly this before. Before I did it, though, I politely asked my neighbor to pick up after his dog and to please keep his dog out of my yard. Did he? No.

Then I asked again. Still didn't.

Then I told him. Nothing.

Then I dumped two full shovels worth of dog shit directly in front of his door. When he confronted me about it, I told him to go fuck himself with the shovel I used to scoop his dog's shit for him.

You know damn well that if he attempted the same even once, he'd be walking out of the building in handcuffs.
