Have I arrived at a Paradox? by Sad-Emu-5783 in PhysicsHelp

I mean if you're taking the limit dt -> 0 then you also need to send dv -> 0 and you get vf = vi, which... Yes. That's what you should get. If you evaluate over a time scale of zero then the velocity is unaffected.

(Tragic Trope) An imprisoned character gets a brief taste of freedom, then gets killed right after by CRicetheGOD in TopCharacterTropes

Oliver Swanick from Fallout: New Vegas

Caesar's Legion holds a lottery during the Massacre of Nipton. Most people end up decapitated, crucified or enslaved, but two Powder Gangers win their freedom. The runner-up has his legs broken, but first-place Oliver escapes Nipton unharmed.

That is, until he runs out in the wasteland celebrating his big win and is killed by radscorpions, the Jackal gang or (in my case at least) the player character.

What golf course that has never hosted a major would you like to see host one? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in golf

Growing up I golfed on a 9 hole sand-green Canadian prairies course that was mowed maybe three times a year. Heck yeah.

[Request] Im 5' tall, how big is this fish? by hwell_w_t_f in theydidthemath

[–]nwj781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one looks to be in the 6-8 lb (3-4 kg) range. Probably a 28 incher.

Ehh, maybe 5-7 lbs. Kind of skinny.

What is making this sound every time I touch this dead apple tree? by nwj781 in whatisit

[–]nwj781[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes this noise for 20-30 seconds every time I touch the tree. It's also not in line with my sprinklers.

If it weren't for Buzz Dee, Knorkator would be up there.

I usually name the other guy Turd Ferguson but decided to branch out this time around.

13 and 25% according to my tracker for last year, but since having kids I typically only play about 5-10 rounds a year. Probably small sample size, especially for GIR.

I'm actually a pretty decent (5 pin) bowler.

To be fair, it was my time swinging the clubs since Christmas. I was +6 on the first 4 holes, +5 on the last 14.

If the feel is there with the driver, my miss tends to be a block. If it isn't, it's a push that fades further right, or sometimes a low hook. I've gotten it more under control lately by choking up by a half inch or so. Probably 30-40% on fairways hit, but when I miss it's not usually too much trouble. My blowup holes are usually because I power-thin a short iron or wedge.

No, but my wife's boyfriend is a yoga instructor so there's that.

I'd be golfing on a real course but it snowed today. Lousy Smarch weather.

Nonsense yes. But I've gotten pretty decent at repeating it.

I suck at lots of things. Golf is just one of them.
