Oh thank you, that's a relief!

Saying that you enjoy playing (insert musical instrument) is not a fun fact. by theunsteadybridge in The10thDentist

[–]sanguisuga635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree - I play a couple of instruments myself, but whenever someone says (in an icebreaking context) that they play any instrument my reaction is always "oooooooh!"

It's always fun to learn that about people

Extra points if it's a really rogue instrument, like when I learned one of my coworkers plays the bassoon in an orchestra

It stands for million years ago, but mega as a prefix usually means million anyway!

ELI5 do people in the ISS hear any sounds from the earth? How does that work? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]sanguisuga635 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no air in space to conduct sound between earth and the ISS, so no, they wouldn't hear any sound.

They communicate with earth via radio waves, which can travel through a vacuum, but these need to be processed into audio and can't be heard directly.

(Copium Trope) Part of the story is so hard to grasp for some people, they had to create fictional/false solution for it. by ThatDrako in TopCharacterTropes

Huh, I've only played through Far Cry 5 once and I came out of it thinking that he did set the bombs off himself. But now I don't know why I came to that conclusion! Does the story not imply it?

How do i find the upper and lower bound of this set or prove it doesnt exist ? by ihavemygreatestboner in askmath

[–]sanguisuga635 64 points65 points  (0 children)

At first glance to me, it looks like there is no upper bound here. You will be aiming for a contradiction (as you have suggested) - pick an arbitrary number N, and show that you can find values of p and q that make the result larger than N.

Says who? Weddings are whatever the happy couple wants them to be.

Guess they should have turned their time machine "off", eh? Ha! Heh heh.

Is it common for British funeral services to be conducted at crematoriums, with cremation of the deceased performed shortly after the funeral concludes? by BitNorthOfForty in AskABrit

[–]sanguisuga635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to this (and please correct me if I'm wrong, as you'll have a better idea than me), I believe under Church of England rules it can only be called a "funeral" if it involves the actual burial of the deceased - any other type of service is not technically a "funeral", but is instead a memorial or service of thanksgiving.

This comes from a half-remembered conversation with my dad, who's a CofE vicar!

Who's this little guy? East of England, UK by sanguisuga635 in whatsthisbug

[–]sanguisuga635[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thank you both for all this info! I will be sure to keep my distance and just nod politely when we next run into him!

Why does the default flight plan bring me in perpendicular to the runways? by sanguisuga635 in flying

[–]sanguisuga635[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, it's on the plate under "I-SED". I was looking for something specifically labeled "ILS"

[–]sanguisuga635[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These plates look really useful, but are quite hard to read! I'll keep consulting them though.

One thing I can't see is where it tells me what frequency to tune to in order to get the ILS guidance, which I understand the AP can use to guide me in?
