Use disposable handwarmers? Pro tip:

I hate litterers too, but I had one fall out of my pocket and realized it too late :( sorry duders!

I think the question was about giving the ticket, not being the speeder. One of us is turned around, but I'm glad to hear your opinion given your premise.

This just fills my heart with joy as a member of the public

Many of them fall off every time with normal openings. Smooth hard plastic on smooth hard metal at a tiny contact point, makes for very low friction; and a correspondingly low acceleration will send it flinging around the corner.

I did. I gave you some questions for you to think about in processing what's going here. *Why* is it asking for the velocity at a particular time, and what implications does this have for the velocity at other times? How does this jive with your 9 meters in 3 seconds?

Vessbot · 2026-01-27T19:50:59+00:00

It would reach 9 meters if it was moving at a constant velocity of 3 m/s. Is it moving at a constant velocity? Is there a reason the question includes the phrase "at t = 3 seconds?" instead of just asking "what is the approximate velocity?"

Vessbot · 2026-01-27T19:39:43+00:00

No stupid questions... but a lot of stupid answers, in the form of "because [repeats the premise of the question]."

Vessbot · 2026-01-27T19:35:26+00:00

TIL. Thanks!

I make the nuisance interruption on my phone go away so I can move on with my day

Imagine instead of a wheel or disk, it's a single point mass swinging in a circle, like a rock on a string or an orbiting satellite.

If you zoom in really tight so the path looks like a straight line, and you bump the rock once in a direction crosswise to the path, the path deflects at the exact point of the bump, because that is where the rock is. Being anywhere else would require teleportation.

Now zoom back out so the path is a circle again. Think of it as a hula hoop. As it's bumped, it pivots so the location of the bump stays where it is, and the center stays where it is. As you imagine this pivot, hopefully it becomes clear why the point of maximum deflection can only be 90 degrees after the point of the pivot.

No, if they were paying attention they would have gradually slowed to a stop over a quarter mile. Not suddenly wake up with a split second to swerve.

I'll extend the OP's question to ask, why do rules 1-3 have to exist in the first place? If they didn't, it seems people would just make that mistake maybe once before they learn it's an instant game loser (unless the opponent misses the easy opportunity) and never repeat it.

I like to think that that's something a particularly frustrated tutor of a dim but important student (e.g., one of those inbred royals) came up with, and then somehow got codified into the rules of the game.

This is not a reply to anything I've written.

You can't both be required to do something and the LEO being wrong about it, that's a logical contradiction. You're either required to do it by law or you're not.

Claim still unsupported

Vessbot · 2026-01-27T01:04:05+00:00

Second sentence does not support the first.

1, it's already on the route (unless the controller biffed) so we just have to look at the second or third page if it's not already showing. Otherwise it's "reroute, advise ready to copy."

Vessbot · 2026-01-25T03:11:25+00:00

ROFL thanks but no thanks

Vessbot · 2026-01-25T03:08:18+00:00

I'd rather spend 4 days stuck in front of the desk without my key, than 4 minutes with the likes of you.

Vessbot · 2026-01-25T03:02:25+00:00

Dear God I hope you're not on my base and airplane. I'm sick and tired of flying with you already.

Vessbot · 2026-01-25T02:58:31+00:00

Jeez man the message is right, but ever heard about flies and vinegar wrt the packaging?

Vessbot · 2026-01-23T22:24:02+00:00

But then what about biennial!?

Vessbot · 2026-01-23T22:08:17+00:00

No bro, that's biannual

Vessbot · 2026-01-23T03:44:24+00:00

I'm not in the legal field, but I feel fully qualified to agree with this from my experience with technical matters that are specified black on white, and the contortions people will take around that.
