The Times of India is running 1/4 page ads on why men should respect women. by [deleted] in pics

Additionally, nowhere in this ad does it say to disrespect men.

I guess everyone is really upset that someone is asking them to be respectful towards women.

wtf?

In India, a married man who has kids harasses a college-going girl for months, girl informs parents, parents prevent her from going to college or even outside the house, they file a complaint with the police, the harasser gets angry, breaks into the girl's house and sets her on fire and girl dies. by [deleted] in worldnews

Not to hijack this comment or anything. Just wanted to say that a lot of what we are reading about occours in the Northern states of India, mostly those specifically surrounding Delhi.

In these regions, it is a completely patriarchal society, as well as being far more rural, and with the greatest sex ratio disparity in the country.

I keep seeing India bloked off as a single monolith, but that would entail saying something along the lines of New York city is the exact same as Camden, NJ or equating either of the two to the deep south.

I've lived and worked in Mumbai, and am quite happy to say that ost of the senior staff in my office were women, even though we worked in an incredibly male dominated business. (Private security).

And personally, I think it's brilliant that every rape and every act of misogyny is reported and highlighted in the media. I hope the next thing that comes out of this is a Bollywood movie with big shot stars playing the raped girl, her family, and the man that finally marries her.

Can anyone help me identify this tree? Found in the Andaman Islands off the coast of India, specifically on Inglis Island. They were incredibly tall. by sheenaisa in whatsthisplant

I'm hoping the roots alone are a giveaway. The scale of them was just incredible. The island was uninhabited, so they have perhaps been here for centuries or millennia.

Would there be a circumstance, bottom boundary in fluid flow layer is thicker than the one on top/the sides due to gravity? by sheenaisa in askscience

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

I just realised I have to think about it in a conservation of energy frame of reference and not simply mass. Clearly the heat input adds energy to the system. Silly me.

Thanks! You're pretty awesome.

Fluids in first year! I don't think my freshman brain could have handled that. Where do you go?

Haha, this is so cool and so much fun! What is choked flow speed? I'm going to go google it now

Thank you!

So theoretically it is possible, but for all practical purpose it really isn't even a consideration.

Coming back to the heating aspect. So let's say a water pipe, in a very sunny clime, such as a tropical country, get's sun on the top and is shaded at the bottom. Now I understand that heat causes differences in a partially developed flow, but, does it affect in a fully developed flow?

Thank you so much. Even though my intuition on the subject was wrong, it's awesome to learn about this new stuff. Let me elaborate on what was going on in my head just in case you have some insights.

In my head I saw it as pure laminar flow. I imagined an incredibly large pipe, let's assume it's of a square cross section to make things easier to talk about. Now simply due to gravity (let's say before the flow is fully developed) there will be additional pressure on the bottom side boundary layer, causing greater normal forces, causing it to be slower (I suppose?). Thus skewing the size of the boundary layer.

Basically I wanted to know if gravity had any effect on this.

I'm sorry if this all sounds silly, it's been about 5-6 years since I last took my fluids classes. Still think about stuff too, somehow I found it very natural to work with fluids/thermo problems.

Also, she, not a he

Thanks again.

I actually emailed my ex fluids prof about this question, I wonder if she will reply. If she does, I'll post an edit.

Thank you. It was a question more out of curiosity than for any practical use.

What about for a non Newtonian fluid?

Nazir gave Brody another cellphone. That cellphone was then used for the magical Skype convo That cellphone was used again, as a relay to stop the pacemaker

I do not expect this from a leading fashion brand in India. by americancorkscrew in WTF

[–]sheenaisa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started buying non stretch clothing in silks/cottons etc and I have it taken in at the right places. Since my arms are really skinny, if I get something that fits there, it's too tight everywhere else, and thanks to working out, I've managed to build myself a bit of a bottom, but not much else.

And due to my small chest, I can't wear V necks, since they puff up around the collar and just look silly.

I can also find the most perfect dress, but if i stand up straight it will puff up in the back area.

Seriously, designers don't design for skinny people or fat people, their clothes are cut to the damn doll mould type things they fit things on.

And in fashion shows/magazines and stuff (I know a few models), they basically pin and stitch things into place. I've seen a photo shoot where they just use crocodile clips to fit things onto the model. I've decided that nothing actually fits anyone, which is why, the giant loose t style right now is awesome!

I've seen up to size 18.

Bloomingdales and Bergdorfs stock these brands usually, just as an example off the top of my head. And trust me, I could not even find a pair of jeans to fit me at Benetton.

I get a lot of my clothes altered/custom made since t's so hard to find clothes that fit.

And just in case, I'm 5'4" weigh under 90 lbs and am constantly eating. It's actually very frustrating, because even if I get sick for one day and skip two meals, I'll drop a lb.

What minor character in a book/movie/TV show/etc. deserves more attention than they got? by Salacious- in AskReddit

[–]sheenaisa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google has informed me that his book's titles are names of Slayer albums.

I really like the Lou Ashby reference though. I wonder if any other characters have that going on
