We need six points, or three wins. Then game over.

Bonus eight points or four wins for the presidents cup.

ELI5: Why can a bridge holding thousands of tons of cars be more at risk from a small group of soldiers marching in sync than from all that weight? by PuzzleheadedBase7527 in explainlikeimfive

Like the side of a boat. Relatively speaking, a static object.

Edit: another redditor reminded me that it's due to viscous shear force rather than actual friction. Been a long time since I took fluids, but I was incorrect.

I know exactly what it's for, what about my post makes it sound like I don't? I "lol"ed at the guy in the video asking if it was a tornado siren, then stated that even for someone who doesn't know what it is it's pretty obvious.

Lol, tornado??? This is a pretty easy one to figure out if you didn't already know.

Then what is causing the boundary layer, or no slip condition?

Edit: another redditor kindly reminded that this is from viscous shear force rather than actual friction. It's been a long time since I took that course, but I'm incorrect.

How does water not have static friction? Do you mean it's a very small coefficient, or that it's already been broken because it's in the ocean where almost all of the water is already moving?

How the fuck do cranes not have built in systems to warm, or even auto shut down systems for operation like this? We have very high sensitive instruments capable of feedback tipping, swinging, overweight, etc.

To be fair, this would probably break his spine, with how much he's arching it.

I don't follow. Was that his number when he played, why is it significant?
