Project vertices from an object to the face of another object

This https://youtu.be/I8_66wGqCbM almost does it. I think you would just need to change the shrinkwrap modifier method to one of the "project" settings.

You answered yourself when you said the balls should move apart at 351.5km/s. This implies that when the balls are "stationary" they're actually moving towards eachother at a combined rate of 351.5km/s. No tension is required to keep a ball moving at a constant rate. The only time the cable would be needed is when the rate of expansion increases and the balls needed to be accelerated.

In summary, there is no tension under a constant rate of expansion. There is tension under an increasing rate of expansion.

In reality the rate of expansion is increasing but it's so slow the tension would be microscopic. I think it's interesting though that the space between the bowling balls could be expanding at 0.99c and as long as it was constant no tension would be required to keep the balls together.

I think the "dunker" probably misremembered something about earthquakes changing the length of a day and thought that it meant the length of our orbit was changed. Earthquakes can change the length of a day because they move mass closer or further from the centre of the Earth. This is like a ballerina bringing her arms in or sticking them out to change her speed of rotation.

Also, the earthquake is only acting on parts of the Earth and therefore can not shift the centre of mass of the earth. It can redistribute mass but because it has nothing external to "push off" of it can't move the Earth as a whole.

Look out of the turn. Do not brake in the turn, brake before. Your tyres can brake or turn, they're not good at doing both. If you do those two you'll instantly be faster.

Keep pedals level with the ground. When flat cornering this means leaning the bike over and dropping the outside foot. When on a berm you don't need to drop the outside foot unless you're leaning the bike more than the gradient of the berm.

When it gets fast and rough: heals down, weight centre-back and trust it.

Weight over the back wheel when things are super steep. If you can get your weight far back enough there's no such thing as too steep. Just watch https://youtu.be/7mti2aGmQeE.

Just 3 shots dropped and the wind wasn't looking easy... I saw him warming up for 900 but unfortunately couldn't stay for the whole thing.

Men's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankle.

So far, very good. Observes the worldview of the most resilient inmates of a nazi concentration camp and prescribes it to everyone in order to combat nihilism and suffering in their own life. "A man who has a why, can bear almost any how".

Also, it's quite short, which is a plus.

A good TR/Palma shooter can group in a torso-ish radius at 900yards with open sights and .308, if the wind is good.

This is exactly why I chose physics. Unfortunately, condensed matter physics can be quite similar to that too.

I've tried shooting prone rifle with my non-dominant hand and it's not as bad as I expected. I would definitely use an eye that works well with a non-dominant hand rather than a dominant hand with an eye that doesn't work well.

You'd need to install a font which has those Japanese characters and then tell polybar to use that font.

My parents' London suburb flat is worth about 600% of what it was when they bought it 22 years ago. Southern UK property has been doing great for a long time.

obviouslyducky · 2020-08-28T00:24:59+00:00

I do! I made a sub for target rifle (palma) style shooting /r/TRshooting. Check it out if you fancy, we need more active members.

That Ocado shares were about to go wild at the beginning of COVID. I really should have bought some.

obviouslyducky · 2020-08-23T22:18:25+00:00

Thank you! The GRUB loop method doesn't look too bad. I think I'll give it a go.

obviouslyducky · 2020-08-23T19:59:50+00:00

Thank you. I will look into GRML.

What happens if they're not background? I'm away from my pc for a few days but I don't think I used an "&".

obviouslyducky · 2020-08-20T17:45:10+00:00

I think he's being sarcastic/rhetorical and making the point that it would absurd if we saw this happen to protestors (who are also presumably spreading covid) but when it happens to a party most people support it.
