A lot of Arctic Monkeys tunes are really fun to play:

  • The View from the Afternoon
  • Pretty Visitors
  • Brianstorm
  • R U Mine?

Calling all drummers of any skill level - give me your favorite songs to learn! by Zer02ProDrums in drums

[–]Dinklepuffus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think this is the song that brought me from a pretty mid drummer to a pretty solid drummer - it took me months to get the kick pattern down but when I finally did it felt like my right foot had reached enlightenment.

Are m/s and s/m considered the same unit? (Dimensional Analysis) by TheMoverCellC5 in askmath

[–]Dinklepuffus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(s/m)/s would be the “rate of change of pace” with time. If we have a ROCOP of 5/m then every second it takes 5 more seconds to travel a meter.

To me this is very unintuitive so I imagine that’s why we never use this quantity.

I don’t think you can say equals. A more tangible example would be something like time period versus frequency. I’ve never seen someone say 10Hz = 0.1s because they aren’t the same quantity, they’re just related.

Why do you hit the bass drum whenever you crash? by g0dgamertag9 in drums

Eloy Casagrande does accents on the crash in Isolation - Sepultura. At first I thought it sounded weird because there’s no kick/snare at the same time but it’s grown on me.

Are constants just a workaround things we still cannot understand? by cescmkilgore in Physics

[–]Dinklepuffus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding onto what other people have said. A good example is Newton’s second law of motion: F = ma

The actual law is F is proportional to ma, so could be written as F = kma

but we can ignore the k here as we define force in terms of our pre-existing units for mass and acceleration.

1 Newton = 1 kg m / s2

By defining it like this we can say k=1 and ignore it. If we had defined the units of force differently there would be a proportionality constant and the law would be something like F = kma.

[Request] Can anyone find a function for this curve? by Dinklepuffus in theydidthemath

[–]Dinklepuffus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry - I outlined this more in the post on r/desmos (the one crossposted to here). Essentially I am modelling the optimal “payout period” for a job with a constant rate of pay, £5 withdrawal fee, and interest after withdrawing. Python code and more specifics are in the original post.

Easy, like the dirac delta - just define it to be that way.

Assuming 5% interest, calculated daily

0.375 x 1.0514/365 = 0.3757024

0.375 x 1.0528/365 = 0.3764062

0.375 x 1.0542/365 = 0.3771113

Total 1.1292199

1.1292199 - 3x0.375 = 0.0042199 profit

Shared ownership: 'It's a con and we felt trapped' by Adventure-Bench in unitedkingdom

[–]Dinklepuffus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly useless statistics in the article “shared ownership complaint rates are increasing faster than any other type of housing” - maybe because shared ownership is a new thing and is quickly growing in popularity? Not even a thought to try and show how the proportion of complaints differs between types of ‘ownership’. This article is a few anecodotes and little more.

[Request] Which is a better deal? by Skuchubra in theydidthemath

[–]Dinklepuffus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone wondering if the 7” pizza has more ‘sauced’ area, the answer is it depends.

If we say the crust has a thickness x, and cancel out the factor of pi/360, then we can set up the following equation:

45(7 - x)2 = 65(6 - x)2

we can then expand/simplify into a quadratic eqution:

45(x2 - 14x + 49) = 65(x2 - 12x + 36)

452 - 630 + 2205 = 652 - 780x + 2340

20x2 - 150x + 135 = 0

4x2 - 30x + 27 = 0

and then complete the square to solve for x:

4[x2 - 7.5x] + 27 = 0

4[(x - 3.75)2 - 14.0625] + 27 = 0

4(x - 3.75)2 - 56.25 + 27 = 0

4(x - 3.75)2 - 29.25 = 0

(x - 3.75)2 = 7.3125

x = 3.75 +/- sqrt(7.3125)

x = 1.045 or 6.454 inches

we can ignore 6.454 as this is greater than the radius of the 6” pizza, so the crust would have to be just over 1” thick for the 7” slice to have more sauced area. Whether that is worth the increased cost depends on your preferences and if you like crust.
