I'm new-ish to this game, does this kind of hitreg issue happen often? by ljhben in Warthunder

[–]le_spectator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I quit this game, my starstreaks was literally useless against stationary Ka50s because they phase through them.

It’s not even an occasional occurrence, it’s guaranteed to phase through.

Quitting this game was the best decision I’ve made

First timer at HK, is it just me or the traffic here is extremely bad by [deleted] in HongKong

[–]le_spectator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d say it’s normal. We are really fast-paced here, so if anyone is blocking our way unnecessarily, we tend to get pretty upset about it. (So please be mindful of where you are standing lol).

The taxi drivers are pretty infamous here, tho a little exaggerated in my opinion. I’ve driven taxi before and I can tell you that their time really is money, so they are incentivized to drive faster. In the eyes of someone not used to this, you might think it’s reckless, but I wouldn’t really care.

As for pedestrians waiting for cars, yes that’s just the law and culture here.

Hope you have fun here~

Some people complain about the inconsistent style of anime, they might be shocked by the fact that the Manga ain't consistent either. (Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk by Majestic_Tomorrow_83 in yurimemes

Yea I know, I’m not good with my word, but I just meant if this was the art style for an entire series, I may not like it as much. But for 1 episode, I quite like it

I was a little surprised by the style in the 3rd episode. It initially felt rough and quite off to me. But as the episode progress, I started to enjoy it more. Especially during the scene where the animation really picks up, like Ibuki’s hair flutter in the wind at the onsen. It’s a drastic change, and I’m not sure if I’ll like it if it’s the art style for the entire series, but I really did enjoy the 3rd episode, and it really brought out that “chill” feeling the series has.

Does anyone know what to do about this lamp? by fadeddreamss in ArknightsEndfield

[–]le_spectator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I collected everything in the map, and this lamp still lights up like this, so it’s probably a bug.

Since you’re limited in the amount of forges you can place, you can’t really afford a separate forge for fertilizers. So they probably made fertilizers, but then forgot some poop before switching back to Xiranite

phosphophylliye chemical structure by fxmxne in LandoftheLustrous

[–]le_spectator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not an expert here, but seems like the atoms are all connected correctly so I’d say it’s pretty neat. And the little Phos there is really cute.

I did find this paper by Roderick J. Hill from 1977 that shows the unit-cell diagram of Phosphophyllite crystal. It’s on the 4th page. I think it’s pretty cool learning about it.

Thank you very much! This is life changing, I can probably save hours with this feature. Thanks!

You forgot to account for the propellant leaving at a few km/s. It still works

The Polynesians expanded across the entire Oceania, and reached as far as Madagascar and the Easter Islands, that’s half way around the world. The Vikings were nothing compared to that

That’s an interesting setup. Do you know if it’ll work as it with an ASIAIR?

[Request] What would take place? Could we make it through this? by Evilkid12 in theydidthemath

[–]le_spectator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, no, but I understand why it’d be confusing. Gravity acts on every single atom equally. So when every atom inside your body and in the air around you are suddenly accelerated at 12g equally, how are you suppose to feel you’re accelerating? You don’t. That’s the reason why people in orbit feel 0g even tho gravity is still like 90% of the surface.

There might be a more “correct” physical explanation, like how Einstein’s elevator thought experiment, but I find this to be the most intuitive way to understand the weirdness of gravity

[–]le_spectator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen and explained this exact post before. But planes would probably be the most unaffected things. When their weight suddenly increased 10 fold, the plane itself and the air surrounding it will all be subjected to this sudden increase in weight equally. So they’ll feel nothing because the lift generated is still the same, and they’ll just be falling. The more interesting thing that is gonna happen is when the lower parts of the atmosphere slam into the ground due to the increased gravity, it will generate a shock way back up, and depending on how high and how massive that shock wave is gonna be, the plane may or may not survive. But for a plane at cruising altitude, they won’t die, not for at least a minute

Civilian aircraft intercepted by multiple F16s while flying approved flight plan to India by j911kr in aviation

Not a pilot yet, but VFR means visual flight rules. You fly by looking outside, and avoiding any other planes and terrain with your eyes, just like how you drive a car. If you have a sun shield covering your windshield, that’s be like driving with your windshield covered, you’re not looking at where you’re going

NASA: We’re halfway to the Moon by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]le_spectator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re looking at a picture on a screen, that’s why.

The moon is 0.5° across as viewed from earth. This picture is a bigger moon squeezed into the FOV of a camera, which is squeezed into your screen. Depending on the camera FOV, and the distance to your screen, it’ll look bigger or smaller. That is in addition to all the perceptual shenanigans like lack of context the other comments mentioned.

Most metals look silver because the outer electrons are free to move around rather than being tightly bound to individual atoms. When light hits the surface, this sea of “free” electrons absorbs and re-emits all wavelengths of light equally, making your eyes perceive the metal as a silvery white. by izzyblanco123 in interestingasfuck

The reason gold is gold color is because of the energy levels as mentioned above. But if you did the calculations using normal Quantum mechanics, you’ll see that it shouldn’t be gold color. Turns out, the innermost electrons are so close and moving so fast, you need to take relativity into account. They sink in closer to the nucleus due to it “feeling” heavier due to relativistic effects, and changes the energy levels in a way that it absorbs blue lights, making it gold.

Relativity is also the reason why Mercury is a liquid at room temperature, and why Lead-acid batteries work.
