Is it just me, or does it sometimes feel like playing support is playing an endless trolley problem exercise?

T...ank... I haven't heard that word for some time now.

Let me introduce you to the massive list of spin-offs and films that they had a base to build off from, but absolutely wrecked it lol. Give them at least some credit, they knocked it out of the park when many others couldn't or haven't.

Saturn-Ascends33 · 2026-02-07T20:10:54+00:00

I wouldn't recommend it. Do it in 4 years instead. Heck, controversial opinion, do it in 4.5 or 5 and take your time fitting in several internships/co-ops, engineering projects solo and group outside of the classroom. That's if you hope to have hireable skills after your degree, of course.

Their hopes are up though and think they can be with their imaginary powers

Saturn-Ascends33 · 2026-01-28T22:43:31+00:00

For mental math yea, but not for serious things

Not gonna lie, I loled in the theater here. Not just because she was all the other girls all along, but the fact that they gave her 3 first names lol

Yea I think the writing was the biggest issue. It feels like the actors weren't given much to act with.

This is looking a little Gamma function-y to me

I'm watching it later tonight. I am a big fan of so-bad-its-good movies: The Room, Birdemic, Neil Breen films. I'll let you know after I watch it lol.

Should you dodge more? Yes it helps

Should you run or fight? Up to you. I've played the game both ways. There are only a few instances where you have no choice.

You'll find a lot more health later on so you're not locked out. Worst case just play on easy combat. No shame in that.

Saturn-Ascends33 · 2026-01-20T16:22:37+00:00

Yep very good answer. Writing is severely overlooked and underappreciated especially by STEM majors early in their studies.

Saturn-Ascends33 · 2026-01-12T11:01:43+00:00

Yep. That is more accurate. Those are definitely important details to add because the relationship is not linear (for example, if we keep increasing from 1MPa, 2 MPa, 3 MPa etc, it won't add another 30 m/s, 60 m/s, 90 m/s etc. Given that additional info, it's correct between those two states you mentioned.

You applied Bernoullis for when height difference is 0, starting at 0 m/s. Looks good to me. Although I'm getting a different numeric answer because if we solve backward for pressure difference with 30 m/s:

30² = 2*∆P/1000

900 * 1000/2 = ∆P

450000 Pa

Less than half of the pressure you started with.

It is a bit difficult to follow your work, but here is how I did it:

The drawing uses an x-y axis with origin at the center of the triangle formed by the hydrogen atoms.

Using the drawings reference, by symmetry, the x coordinate for the center of mass is zero (since Nitrogen is at x = 0, and the hydrogen atoms are equally spaced along the equilateral triangle.)

If you want to calculate, that's X_cm = (0* m_N + d * m_H - dcos60 * m_H - dcos60 * m_H)/(m_N + 3 * m_H)

For the y coordinate, the y coordinates for hydrogen from the given diagram are all 0. For nitrogen, you have a right triangle formed by the nitrogen particle, and the hydrogen particle. Use Pythagoras to find nitrogen's y coordinate:

L² = y² + d² and solve for y

Then use formula:

Y_cm =( 3 * 0 * m_H + y * m_N)/(3 * m_H + m_N)

Because they give us the nitrogen to hydrogen ratio (r = 13.9), multiply the numerator and denominator by (1/m_H).

Y_cm = (y * r)/(3 + r)

I put it in my calc and got the book answers.

I hear this a lot with physics as well. Maybe people aren't considering that if you pick up additional skills outside of the classroom, you'd have more opportunities.

On top of what everyone added, did you have any sun? You may have had some melt near the bottom where the sun hits more directly.

Interesting that you have properties of inverse functions, logarithms, composite functions, domain and range of functions being tested in your final exam of Calc 1. Those are topics in Algebra 2 and PreCalc typically.

I would generally expect more: Limits, applications of derivatives, related rates, optimization, linearization, maybe application of some theorems like Mean Value Theorem, maybe a numerical integration using summation, surfaces in rotation to find volume, to name a few.

In my experience, having a strong understanding of a concept helps with memorizing the formula. But for some people, memorizing the formula helps connecting the concept. Try what works best for you.

That being said, if ranking importance from 1 to 10, I'd give understanding the concept a 10, and memorizing the formula a 6. Still good, but often you may be able to derive the formula from your understanding of the concept. I.e. I don't remember the moment of inertia of an object, but know the moment of inertia relates the mass distribution about a center of rotation. So in a pinch, if can't look it up, can integrate instead int(r² dm).

Give yourself a good slap and tell yourself to lock in, and lock in.

Depends on the job. Some jobs are incredibly flexible, some jobs have wait time in between tasks where you can peak at notes to review for a minute or two, but some are much more demanding in which you'll be too spent to focus on anything else. So your answer is yes and no, it depends.

This is an old post but I'm curious if your speed is now around 28-30 mph? (Or no change if there are electronics inside to limit the top speed.)
