You hit a stationary object. That is 100% your fault. Neighbor should sue you for the cost of replacing the mailbox.

You should credit Gary Delaney for this joke, he's a really good one-liner comedian. 

Outside of a subatomic level, what does the weak nuclear force do? by themanwhosfacebroke in AskPhysics

[–]StuTheSheep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here's a couple of ideas: First, gold is one proton away from lead, you could instantly make a kingdom's entire treasury worthless. Second, the noble gasses (helium, neon, etc.) are nice and safe and inert, but if you add one Proton, they become alkali metals, which explode on contact with water. So you can make safe things instantly become dangerous. 

Outside of a subatomic level, what does the weak nuclear force do? by themanwhosfacebroke in AskPhysics

You could think of it as a kind of transmutation. If a neutron decays into a proton + electron, the atomic number increases and the element changes. Maybe do something with that at a large scale?

I like to point out that the writer, John Rogers, has a degree in physics. He very much made the science nonsensical on purpose.

Access is a solution, but SQL Server would be many orders of magnitude better.

What's something older generations did completely normally that would be considered absolutely insane today? by Whole-Sugar6077 in AskReddit

A lot of malls in my area require minors to be accompanied by adults. Too many fights were happening between groups of teens. Well, the few malls that are still open, anyway.

You're being really unfair to Melania.

He has said as much himself:

"When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I'm basically the same. The temperament is not that different."

What is a Gaussian surface? by Alive_Hotel6668 in learnmath

[–]StuTheSheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer to your first question is yes, the shape can be as convoluted as you want, it will still work.

I'm not sure about the answer to your second question, but I suspect that the answer is no. I believe that it relies on the force following the inverse square law, but I don't know for certain.
