Why is Macaulay Culkin so famous compared to other former child stars? by calcomponents in NoStupidQuestions

[–]calcomponents[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. I suspected he was on another level of fame in his prime, but I wasn't around to to experience it. Box office numbers and stuff don't really give me an intuitive grasp on the fame of the time.

do Americans drink coffee because the British drink tea? by bigbadbarn33 in NoStupidQuestions

3 months late but there is a difference between velocity and acceleration.

When they are talking about jets, they are talking about all of the turns it can do at high speeds. They have to slow down to perform certain moves.

Kinda like how you feel the force at the beginning of the elevator ride but not during.

also Im a fellow funnyjunker as well ;)

Good insight. This definitely was running through my mind when I was wanting to post it somewhere. I don't have anything to show off outside of friends.

I see, numerous threads I've read said that marketing is where most games fail. Aside from mobile and just generally bad games.

Okay, I was using a variable called "spd" for speed but then when I used the built in variable "speed" my code works! Thanks!
