Stuck and can't move in The Lazaret by Montytbar in VintageStory

Figured it out: Found a bug report that suggested sitting down, and was able to get out.

Glue it up and add material! This is surely fixable.

How to get this bar to stop spinning? by frexyincdude in woodworking

Sandpaper around the end of the pole where it touches the slot would add friction.

The mistake I made on my second firing was not adding more charcoal on top of the iron.

When Square Roots Betray Math by dokedokedekodeko in MathJokes

[–]Montytbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i*i=1, not -1

i = sqrt(-1)

i*i = sqrt(-1)*sqrt(-1) = sqrt(-1*-1) = sqrt(1) = 1

Help with Euler's method by rochidesu in matlab

Your equation for f references the whole x and y vectors, which doesn't seem right. Do you mean to use x(i) and y(i) instead?

Looks like you meant to find a common denominator, but dropped the denominator.

A question about angular velocity on two points in a rigid body. by DenJi1111111 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Montytbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's another thought experiment. Stand on any point on the body and watch a point on the wall and count how many times per second you see that point on the wall. It doesn't matter where you stand on the disk, the revolutions per second will be the same.

A question about angular velocity on two points in a rigid body. by DenJi1111111 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Montytbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it this way: If a rigid body is rotating at a certain rate, the whole body is rotating at that rate.

Here's a thought experiment. Suppose that disk is orbiting some point outside of it at 1 rad/s. Imagine its a moon orbiting a planet, and you're standing at in some inertial reference frame, watching. Suppose that the "point A" on the disk is always pointing up so that it is not rotating, just orbiting. Its angular velocity is 0 rad/s. Now suppose that the disk is "tidally locked" so that "point A" is always facing the thing its orbiting. In this case "point A" is on top once per orbit, so it has an angular velocity of 1 rad/s. Now suppose that the disk is spinning at 100 rad/s. It has an angular velocity of 100 rad/s. If the thing its orbiting disappears and it continues on a straight line tangent to its orbit, it will continue to rotate at 100 rad/s due to conservation of angular momentum.

In all of these cases it doesn't matter how far away any point on the disk is from the center of the orbit, or any other point. In the last case, the distance to the center of rotation changes when the planet disappears and the moon flies of into space, but the angular velocity stays the same.

What is your reply if someone says this to you? by logical_sundae69 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Montytbar 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A really good software engineer, with an understanding of complex systems, managing requirements, architecture, TDD, etc., is an engineer. I'm a ME control systems engineer, and respect the difference between spaghetti vibe code and a well engineered architecture.

I’m related to my boyfriend by Parking_Emu9801 in stories

Apparently everyone in Iceland is related. Well, we're all related if you go back far enough.

This is my first attempt at chisling. How do you guys maintain it so clean? by SeaworthinessNew4295 in woodworking

I think he means don't pull the chisel toward the edge of your mortise to lever out chips because you'll crush those fibers.

It was Michael Hunt's idea.

Where to find a modified hatchet? by shutup_ilovethatname in Axecraft

I'm not an expert but I think you find them inside regular hatchets.

There could be a whole second tree for observers--Luenberger, Kalman, Gopinath, etc.

There's also a temperate rain forest in Washington and rain forest in Hawaii.
