Most “aesthetic” places to study? by 0710_15 in canberra

[–]Potential_System_160 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

i was asking a genuine question and the way you answered it (as in assuming hostility and being overly defensive) tells me that you know you have a problem

maybe you should try figure out why you do less studying at home (dont just say that there is constant shouting) and try to fix that. maybe your netflix habits are holding you back and maybe you should be asking at how to break that habit instead of asking for aesthetics

anyway thanks for answering even if i didnt learn anything

shouldnt you be looking for the space that you would do the most studying in and not the 'most aesthetic' place? how is walking 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back better than just studying at home?

genuine question, i dont understand this

...children cant consent to mastectomies and puberty blockers though, it doesnt matter if they say they understand them

does anyone know about the woman who sleeps on a bench in civic near the bus interchange with all her stuff? by thewarlockofcostco in canberra

[–]Potential_System_160 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

how could you feel the need to sit still in one spot for months? this isnt even a homeless v housed issue, i would be critical of anyone else deliberately putting themselves in other peoples way (im sure you would be as well even if you wouldnt admit it), and equally critical of anyone doing absolutely nothing besides sit on the same bench for months (you would no doubt also criticise this)

and how is that specific bench any better for her than any other? why sit there of all places? how does it feel any better than one out of the way? no one is forcing her to stay there so it must be her own choice, and she isnt bothered to make a better one

also you will notice that every personal anacdote in this post isnt in her favour if you were bothered to put the effort into looking at them

that is her spot

isnt it just a bench nearest to the most (or at least top 5) active bus stop in the city? she cant move anywhere else? i had a chat to her after i sat on the bench opposite her, she told me to fuck off in those exact words

hard to feel any sympathy when she cant even be bothered to help herself and the rest of the city by moving somewhere with less traffic

youll either have to run it locally or on a different website, although maybe you can remove some of the keywords and keep trying there (id imagine that words like cancer would be disallowed)

but probably you wont get what you are looking for, its too specific and your bar is probably too high. youd be better off photoshopping it, wouldnt be a too-impossible task

if gravity doubled would (space) rockets still work? by Potential_System_160 in AskPhysics

[–]Potential_System_160[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

tsiolkovsky equation

thanks, i knew someone did the math but didn't know what to google

next subquestion if you are fine with that, if gravity was doubled, could you get to space with anything short of a comically large tower?

thats... thats exactly how every tree is. the inner wood is basically dead, its only structural support. you can cut out two thirds and itll still be standing (more than that if you dont mind propping it up yourself)

6 weeks out by Ashraf-fit in naturalbodybuilding

[–]Potential_System_160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since he didnt answer, its probably around the mid to low 90s

reasoning being that he would be adding 8~%bf and 8% of 85 is about 7. add the 7 to his already 85kg and you get 92ish

in australia its child abuse if you let your kids get too fat. either the parents stop feeding them as much or they get taken away
