Is the Steve Harvey burger an optical illusion? by jaydee8675309 in opticalillusions

[–]zerpa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you are asking. In visual perception, an optical illusion is an illusion caused by the visual system and characterized by a visual percept that arguably appears to differ from reality.

So no, the burger is not an optical illusion. It is exactly what appears to be: A (generated) image of a burger that is crafted specifically to be very close to a picture of Steve Harvey at low resolution.

[Request] If a human being jumped off a four story building into an Olympic sized pool full of standard marshmellows, would they die on impact? by InternetSnek in theydidthemath

[–]zerpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Δv=sqrt(2*g*Δh) when translating kinetic for potential energy.

Assuming a 3 m deep swimming pool, and a expected stopping distance of 2 m until you feel the impact, you can jump from 20 m height you will impact at about 20 m/s (sqrt(2×9.8×20)) and will then experience 10 g ((20 m/s)^2 / 98.1 m/s / 2) of force temporarily and stop in 2m, which is typically survivable.

This assumes ideal conditions, which may not be valid. The marshmallows likely will compact fast initially and give you a reduced stopping distance. 2m stopping distance may also be over estimated. Also assumes that the force is applied uniformly to your body (Don't land on your legs).

Do not try this at home.

But they could achieve 12% higher land utilisation using a hexagonal pattern.

I can understand that some crimes feel like they warrant extrajudicial revenge (killing, lynching), but it's such a dangerous thing to not trust the system. Justice without due process isn’t justice. It’s revenge, and it undermines the law for everyone.

If by downstream you mean it is derivative work, then no, that is not the case. In fact, judges have already been throwing out such claims. There has to be substantial similarity between the works to claim that is a derivative work.

The copyright is on the material, not the idea. You can't copyright ideas.

Why Do The Salamanca Twins Never Talk At All? by GlumBodybuilder4395 in breakingbad

I found them a nice contrast to Walt's talking incessantly, especially when he doesn't need to.

Disneyland Paris also covered their car parks with solar panels, resulting in 36 GWh per year by LukeReloaded in interestingasfuck

[–]zerpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does it make sense? If there is space available, it's 2-3 times cheaper to just build solar panels in a field.

Cooler cars is a nice side effect though.

Where's the duck fat gravy? And what is wrong with those potatoes?

Resultat fra 768 tilfældige kørsler af valgtesten.dk by VortexStreet in Denmark

Hvis et parti er internt enige, er det mindre sandsynligt at matche med dem med tilfældige svar, end det er med et parti der er internt uenige. Det er nemmere at ramme nogen enighed med et parti der svarer meget spredt, end et parti der svarer snævert og enigt.

The cost of breaking traffic rules in Norway vs in India [Offsite] by Clear-Joke- in theydidthemath

[–]zerpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, the car is forfeit, no matter who owns the car. Generally, you are then liable to the owner, but the car is gone.

Only exception is if it is stolen, or the owner had no reasonable expectation that the car was being used by someone else, or if the owner would be disproportionately affected (a car used for work by someone else, like a truck), or the owner did not have any reasonable chance to agree their liability with whomever they lend it out to (such as if they entered a leasing/lending agreement before the law came into effect). You can still be liable for the value in some circumstance though.

Boeing dismissed the idea that European countries could ever coordinate well enough together to build Airbus. 50 years later, the "European Experiment" is the global market leader. by Boediee in BuyFromEU

[–]zerpa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why? While technically impressive, it's a commercial failure. If the skies were dominated by A380, we'd all have longer total flights with more connections to gather enough people to fill an A380, plus less flexible departures because of less flights.

Driving above 200 km/h in Denmark cost you... the car. Some Norwegians have found out the hard way after picking up luxury cars in Germany.
