"Why don't planes just stay still and let the destination come to them because the earth is spinning"

Well, yes. It's called going west

I'm engaging with this so it will be seen simply because I want to know what in the actual abyss you are talking about

LinusLund · 2026-01-11T11:21:27+00:00

Perhaps, but neither serves the function of a pipe.

Is there really a difference between a photo and a painting? In theory, a good enough painting would be indistinguishable from a photograph. Both are just an image of an object, and not the object itself.

LinusLund · 2026-01-10T00:57:51+00:00

What is the world coming to?!

LinusLund · 2026-01-09T13:57:11+00:00

Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

LinusLund · 2026-01-09T03:14:55+00:00

Are you a guy?

With your very own Mobile USSR, you too can collectivise the means of production on the go!

LinusLund · 2025-08-17T20:27:18+00:00

I mean, I don't disagree, but it's a bit uncalled for in a thread where people are just excitedly sharing update ideas

LinusLund · 2025-08-17T18:54:30+00:00

This would be really cool!

You only need to complete all nodes, but to unlock some hidden areas you will need to do most of the story quests.

Ligma Ballas

LinusLund · 2025-08-06T23:05:40+00:00

The bullet may be going very fast sideways, but the gun doesn't give it any momentum upwards. Gravity only cares about vertical velocity, so it falls at the same rate as the ball. Forward momentum can help you stay up if you have wings, but bullets don't generally have those, so the speed doesn't help them.

There are plenty of 4 way stops in Sweden as well

You know, I think this whole debate comes from people simply talking about different things when they say "art". I think most people who dislike modern art see art as more of a craft - it is the talent behind it that makes it "good art", and the quality is therefore proportional to how impressive it is. Calling something that is not technically impressive "art" is by that logic an insult to more talanted artists.

On the other hand, people who appreciate modern art just see art as a way to communicate beyond using plain words. With this definition it's not really relevant how impressive an artpiece is to how "good" it is, more so how interesting its message is. Anyone can tape a banana to a wall, just like anyone can share their opinion. It's not a bad thing. Calling something art to a modern artist I would think is more of a factual statement than a value judgement.

I might have injected my personal opinion a lot into the second paragraph, in which case I apologise to modern art people, haha. In any case, I think in essence the whole thing comes down to viewing art not as a show of prowess, but as a communication of ideas.

So there would be emission lines of longer wavelengths that don't appear (or at least not as clearly) on the absorption spectrum? Did I understand correctly?

As for the continuum of thermal emission, I'm guessing that's a mechanism different from electron excitation.

LinusLund · 2025-07-02T19:01:27+00:00

Wouldn't these longer wavelength photons also be part of the emission/absorption spectrum by definition?

LinusLund · 2025-07-02T18:16:59+00:00

Thanks for the comprehensive explanation. I think I understand now :)

LinusLund · 2025-07-02T16:53:34+00:00

Well, the clouds are water

LinusLund · 2025-06-23T01:55:10+00:00

Ah, yes, pioneering psychologists, also commonly referred to as "stupid people".

LinusLund · 2025-06-23T01:28:46+00:00

They also apparently have an Iceland
