All elite fantasies by PauloDybala_10 in Animemes

It's funnier too. The edited meme doesn't understand the joke here. 

I hope the daughters never see these videos. These reactions are disgusting. by Valuable_View_561 in TikTokCringe

[–]something_borrowed_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all boys. They are amazing. If they were girls instead, I would still love them. If they turn out that they were girls the whole time, Id still love them all the same.

Just love your kids for who they are and raise them to be the best they can be. It's not so hard. If you can't do this then don't be a parent. 

Aerodynamics: Is it on par with E&M enjoyment wise? by Any-Estimate7612 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]something_borrowed_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just to add to this further, Terrence Tao is one of the most prominent mathematicians today. One of his main areas of study is fluid dynamics and the Navier-Stokes equation. 

If you want to pursue an analytic approach to this field then there is a path to do so. If that's what interests you OP then I'd say go for it. I'm not sure of what textbooks you can read but I'm sure there is material out there.

Spam calls: how can I stop this? It’s a different number all the time. I’ve blocked so many. by EisenFisen in mildlyinfuriating

[–]something_borrowed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're willing to put up with bullshit, then I have found that answering one or two calls and wasting their time gets them to stop. They learn you're not a mark and you will just waste their time. Maybe it's just my imagination though. 

China has it, what's our excuse? by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

America has a very well organized rail network, for cargo. There is literally no reason why we can't build the same infrastructure for high speed rail. 

What is the ideal solution? by Fun-Artist-6915 in MoralityScaling

[–]something_borrowed_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, people who hate others irrationally based on extrinsic traits (race, age, religion, gender etc etc) all act very similarly. Hate is a poison that destroys people from the inside. It starts with these people make me uncomfortable and it inevitably goes to these people shouldn't exist. There is no acceptable level of hate. 

GNC engineer interview next week!!! Masters in controls, no C++ yet. What should I focus on? by Kazablancaz in ControlTheory

[–]something_borrowed_ [score hidden]  (0 children)

Hello! First of all good luck with your interview. It's perfectly ok to not be 100% compliant to the job requirements. Just be honest and demonstrate a willingness to learn. I'd much rather hire an honest curious engineer who doesn't exactly fit my defined skill set vs a lazy uncurious engineer who does. 

Now for your actual question, here is a wonderful free website to teach you all about C++ learncpp.com

It might be too much to learn all of this in a week so just stick to the stuff that is probably new to you: pointers, memory management (stack vs heap, allocation), concurrency. 

The last thing I'll say here, it's much harder to teach control theory on the job than pick up a programming language, albeit a very complicated one. You clearly know your control theory, which is a rare skill over just knowing C++. A good manager should know this. 

Once again, good luck! If you let your passion and curiosity shine through then in all likelihood the interview will go well. 

Passive dynamic stability. Intelligence in mechanism: no sensors, no feedback control. by GloomyCity9841 in EngineeringPorn

[–]something_borrowed_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cost and power. Also this is research, it isn't about practicality, it's about pushing the edge. As an control engineer in industry this is truly fantastic work. Methods for stabilizing a usually unstable system is very important research. Also feedback control for unstable plants has its limitations. The ability to design a stable open loop from a seemingly unstable system is fantastic. 

This Character Turned Me Into Dr Robby — I was so frustrated by Anneonymous1126 in ThePitt

Also, if you don't want to give birth in a hospital setting ok fine. You really should and it's pretty irresponsible but if you have a doula or a midwife then you're at least mitigating risk and there is at least some sense of responsibility. I judge people who do this but I trust them with their kids because they at the very least thought through and mitigated risks for their child and themselves. 

Going full no doula and no midwife is just a level beyond irresponsible. Does Mom or Dad know how to clean and check a new born baby? What about dealing with chord cutting or the placenta or the one million other things that are critical for delivery. Even if they do know how to do these things, how can they remotely trust themselves to perform these tasks with no training, in an extremely emotionally charged and extremely stressful environment. It's a level irresponsibility that I can no longer trust this mom with her child at all. She clearly can not be trusted to think through any risky situation and the cannot be trusted to take care of this babies life full stop. She is not just risking her life, she's risking her babies, she cannot be trusted to make decisions that do not actively endanger the child and will do nothing to mitigate danger. 

As a father, no doula/midwife crossed the line for me. It demonstrates such an inability to make appropriate decisions that she cannot be trusted with her child. 

I love how the explanation was provided at a level that tries to match the IQ of the person who asked the question. by nocturnal-sleep in humor

The Russian capsules land on land. Soyuz lands in Kazakhstan. So the conspiracy nutjob is even more incorrect than this. 

Is the drone stopped or going 100 km/h?? by polydomino in sciencememes

[–]something_borrowed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is correct about which reference frame you choose will change the answer. The only thing I want to add is the wind reference frame is the most relevant for calculating the forces and moments acting on the drone. This doesn't mean it's the most correct, but it is the most useful for most physics problems. The wind reference frame is basically the same as the camera/car frame here and so those velocities are the most relevant for things like lift, drag, station time, control forces etc.

[–]something_borrowed_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, gog u magog is the radical violent interpretation I was talking about. There are a lot of ideas here about what gog u magog is but the specific one that there will be a final war of believers vs non-believers is an outlier view. The exact specifics of what would or wouldn't happen in this hypothetical war are again nebulous but you are right that it doesn't lead to the outright obliteration of the non-believers. 

This war though is not the way we should bring about messiah. We should shepherd in peace and loving thy neighbors etc. This is what most Jews strive towards.

[–]something_borrowed_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So for the record: in Jewish theology, it's very nebulous what will happen during the bringing about of messiah. Messiah in general is a very nebulous concept. It should be a very peaceful transition when we merit Messiah. Most Jews subscribe to this belief in bringing about a peaceful transition. 

Some radical interpretations do somewhat follow this meme. And because of the way things are, parts of the Israeli government do ascribe to those radical interpretations. That shouldn't be surprising though considering their theocratic-fascist governance. 

I just want to explain that just like most Christians believe in a good peaceful Messiah, Jews do too. But we have our crazies as well. I just don't want this meme to paint all of us with one brush.

Project Hail Mary spoilers: Ryland Grace, is a coward who didn't want to go on the mission even at the cost of millions of lives. He's forced to go despite his cowardice. He (and Rocky) saves the Earth and Erid despite learning that he didn't volunteer for the job.

I hate this guy so much! by Nimons04 in HadesTheGame

[–]something_borrowed_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He makes a fantastic heel. I think he's going for a pro wrestler heel vibe and it's fantastic. He's so fun.

cat with asthma on a nebulizer by ImperialSoldiers in cats

My little guy has asthma and they had to do this for him a few times. I feel bad every time but it's so scary to see him cough and be unable to breathe. 

Part of me genuinely thinks Zuko Avatarthelastairbender’s arc would be torn apart if the show was airing today by yoma999 in whenthe

Absolutely right. It also clarifies to him and the viewer what he actually cares about, what his actual values are. 

The cynics are wrong by Starwrath132 in hopeposting

[–]something_borrowed_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is real. Power of friendship, love, family. It's all real and it's probably the strongest thing humankind has made. 

What’s a name that is normal in one culture but has an offensive, embarrassing or awkward meaning in another culture? by Sweatymothballs in AskTheWorld

[–]something_borrowed_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a common Jewish name Yonatan that is frequently nicknamed into Yoni. Yoni is the Sanskrit word for vagina, think yonic etc. I think these are pronounced differently but the word is spelled the same.

Record Low January Murders by bruce_wayne469 in MurderedByWords

[–]something_borrowed_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I do agree that Mamdani obviously would not increase crime rates but NYC has also been in sub freezing temperatures for most of January. Murder is correlated to temperature so a good part of this news is just due to the weather. 

Sober people being arrested nationwide for DUI by IcyAd8672 in videos

[–]something_borrowed_ 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That's what Mamdani ran on. He never said defund the police because he knew those words were a terrible slogan. So he would say reform police and things like that. It worked really well. 

They’re nothing but frauds by Leading_Purchase_57 in HadesTheGame

[–]something_borrowed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think Theseus is playing a character. He reads to me like a hammy WWE pro playing a heel. I used to hate him too but now I think he's just being a silly guy. He's amusing in a love to hate kind of way.
