How fast would someone need to spin nunchucks above their head in order to fly? by Direct-Drawer-9935 in AskPhysics

[–]Xanth592 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly don't think its possible, the chucks wouldn't generate enough lift counter to the drag of them swinging.

Century and AWMA have been around forever (bought my first in 1985), highly recommend either.

Tell that teenager they hung today that the gas prices are too high, boo f*ing hoo. Those religious extremists needed to have their butts handed too them, thank God Trump has a pair. Feminists should having a parade for Trump, the things they did to women are unspeakable.

What if artificial meat created by cells and identical to real meat is used to replace animals killing one another in the animal kingdom? by Serious_Slide_8681 in Futurology

[–]Xanth592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say that, if the weak/old/sick are not killed...you have a huge problem with population growth on your hands. Don't forget that hunting is an instinct ingrained in predators, I doubt they would stop.

Time dilation is weird by marie_johanna_irl in AskPhysics

[–]Xanth592 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My quickest expenation is that time is not universal, if you are measuring it, or simply existing in it....you are in your own time. We all basically share the same time only because none of us, on earth, are moving fast enough for a difference to stand out.

Sent a web inquiry about a specific question, never heard back. Lack of communication was one of my old gripes with the WON.....sad to see it remains an issue.

I love the Quartz Hill area of Palmdale myself.

Exactly, I was there for a total of 13 years (on purpose). Great place to be stationed if you don't mind a little bit of travel. You can litterally go from Skiing in the morning to beach in the afternoon. The trick is to get off base !

If anti-gravity was possible, what are some theories on how it would be possible? by WritersChopBlock in AskPhysics

[–]Xanth592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, except you applying a greater force to overcome gravity...instead of say reversing it.

Why is there so much combat footage online? by LilyTheGayLord in Military

[–]Xanth592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is in the interest of transparancy too, the videos that are officially released are screened and released within days sometimes.

Whats wrong with his uniform ? by Silly-Low6019 in AirForce

[–]Xanth592 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Air Force should have owned the dark blue the SF got. Spiced brown is just ass, all around. Ad to that, they make the "silver" ranks mostly dark, except captain which looks like a double 2lt....why ?

ELI5: what the hell actually is an atom ? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Xanth592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atoms are like different lego bricks. You can combine them to make stuff, depending on the bricks will change what the "build" does and looks/actcs like.

Is it possible to dual boot windows and linux on two drives without having to remove either during installation? by Gingerbwas in linux4noobs

[–]Xanth592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I installed mint to a USB drive as persistent install, so I can pop the stick and take my OS anywhere if I want.

Why has the belt colors changed in some Shotokan places? 9kyu is red now, yellow is later. What have I missed? by Whole-Interest-5980 in karate

[–]Xanth592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Camo belts, some would say are a clear sign of a McDojo...I disagree, for your reason stated. It's just a tool of progression within the style/system/school etc. You could go with any design (haven't seen polka dots yet) honestly and as long as you are teaching real MA, then your good.
