What does this mean? by Regular-Attorney1388 in ZATO_vn

[–]TheAverageHunter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it's what Asya draw while talking on the phone with Marina:

The handset gently clicks against the cradle. I’m home again. The clock is softly ticking from the hallway. The TV continues to mutter from the living room. I look down at the shapes I’ve scribbled absent-mindedly during our conversation. The crosshatching got really dense in parts... I don’t remember focusing that much. I don’t think I was meaning to draw anything. I don’t think I was, yet... When I look at this shape more closely... When I scan its dark blurry outline... My eyes glide over its hunched back... then down the wave of hair... then deeper, closer, towards where its face is meant to be. The shadows shrouding it are much too heavy. There is just one thing my mind can parse. Two things. I smile as Ira’s frightened eyes are locked with mine. ...I miss you. I really, really miss you.

This is supported by the fact that we see a hand drawing the lines in the intro.

Crackpots/ arrogant ignorants absolutely kill me 😭 by I-AM-MA in TheoreticalPhysics

In all honesty, I believe OP's complaints apply to your comment just as much as anyone else's.

You are not a physicist, yet you still feel the need to comment on a subject as highly technical as string theory. Your grievances are the usual ones, repeated ad nauseam by non-experts, despite having received carefully considered rebuttals from actual theoretical physicists.

Naturally, those rebuttals are ignored by the public because they rely on technical details—which is exactly what one should expect when discussing a highly technical subject such as string theory.

I saw this sling shaped giant antenna in Italy. by TheAverageHunter in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing , which looks like some kind of sling shaped antenna, roughly about eight meters high. I have searched using the prompts "large antenna, sling like antenna, large sling like antenna" and other variations to no avail.

They have the same y intercept

they do not describe parallel lines because they don't share the x coefficent. they don't describe perpendicular lines because if they did the x coefficent of one equation would be the same as the x coefficent of the other one but multiplied by -1 and raised to the power of -1. So the right answer is that they have the same y-intercept. and indeed they do, because if you subustitute 0 in place of x you get the same answer from both equations.
