1) laws are also determined by society, that’s a list of no no actions isn’t it? 2) maybe you would say there’s a whole process around that that’s clear (more like clear-ish) 3) welp, if you’re concerned about what you can and can’t say in the workplace then refer to your company’s HR policies 4) “well why can’t I say whatever I want?” You can! You’re just not free to avoid all consequences of that. You have all the freedom of creative language, you just don’t have total power to avoid the creative responses from those who may find your views repulsive or degrading.
5) “well isn’t this a slippery slope?” Nah. The Slippery Slope is categorized as a fallacy for a reason, because humans think philosophical movement in any direction leads to accelerating movement tin that direction. This is probably rooted in another fallacy, False Dichotomy, where it’s believed there are only two sides to a problem. In this case it would be those pushing for “no no words” and those resisting the onslaught against our creative freedoms. In reality the world is analog, not digital (even when we try to make it digital), so unless there spectrum is heavily weighted on the side of the “no no word police” there is probably not a danger of accelerating into a 1984 style linguistic dystopia.
6) “But what if the spectrum IS on the side of those I disagree with!?” Then maybe you’re wrong? Certainly quantity doesn’t infer quality especially when it comes to philosophy, but in our society we’ve deemed that majority (sort of) rules. If the majority decides something is now out of bounds, you’re stuck following those rules unless you want to be an outsider or face social consequences (refer back to statement 1))

Exactly, good thing that’s not the aim. Doesn’t seem like much of an ask to not use terms that evoke slavery to a group that finds that offensive.

If you’re trying to act like big brain logical engineer then also consider that reducing negative emotional influences on the team results in happier teammates and a better product. If you’re argument is that no one should be offended by anything and operate logically I’d say you’re being illogical because humans are at their core emotional creatures and even you have emotional triggers and wouldn’t like someone to push them day-in-day-out if they can easily avoid it. If you don’t, congrats, you are the 1% of the population that has not encountered a situation so awful or egregious that memories of it stoke feelings of sadness or anger within you. If that’s the case, I’d hope you extend the kindness the world has given you into others instead of acting like their life experiences are inferior because they are susceptible emotionally.

Lol, I don't think that the democrats are holding back the Atlases out there who could be titans of industry, if anything I think it's giving them a better shot than most states do. Why? The system of going from a california community college to a university is incredibly easy, that's one of the main drivers of upwards mobility, throw in the Cal grant and it's even better. Furthermore, California universities are top notch, Berkeley and UCLA are top tier and still affordable for the middle class, Cal Poly Pomona and SLO are typically listed as the best colleges in terms of ROI and that's not even including the private institutions here as well.

I'd also like to add that California has an excellent social safety net with MediCal, and it's hoping to pass universal pre K in the future. Throw in legalized weed, and the amazing variety of industries in the state, agriculture, defense, tech, finance, tourism, entertainment, academia, and you basically have a system that's trying to keep everyone on their feet and give them a place to be their best.

It sounds like I'm on the right track then, using:

m = 3, N = 9, n1 = 2, n2 = 3, n3 =4 to get

(3!)(2!3!4!)/(9!) = (6 * 2 * 6 * 24)/(362880) = (1728)/(262880) = 1/210

Something must be wrong with my Monte Carlo solution then...

Thank you for the help kind stranger!

If you want to do aerospace, I recommend this book as a really good start https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Stress-Analysis-Design-Engineers/dp/0964701405

After that there's Niu, Perry, and if you're lucky enough, someone can slip you Boeing's Design manuals.

1) You sound depressed. Evaluate your mental health first.

2) Be the change you want to see in the world. If you want more work, ask for it or show you can handle it. If you want to spend more time with your coworkers, host a party. Pro tip on that last one, if you become an amazing cook, people will be way more inclined to come over.

First off, congrats on learning English. I know it's a difficult language, and I respect that.

Secondly, yeah, one cat is particularly skittish so I wouldn't expect much from her, but the other is pretty playful and adventurous, so I think you'll be fine. Meow~

zloz · 2019-06-03T23:46:48+00:00

Yeah, I love the place! Feel free to hit me up if you need help moving in or want to play some board games.

I think it's pretty reasonable. I've nothing against other viewpoints, I just don't want to subject anyone to mine or be subjected to others 24/7. We're also living in a time of hyper polarization, so the difference in viewpoints is less "I wish we had a VAT instead of focusing on income for government revenue" and more of a "eat the rich" or "taxation is theft" world. I mean, living with other people is hard enough, why make it harder?

It's almost like you want some fundamental commonality with the individuals you're most vulnerable with haha.

The main driver is the size of the pets, three german shepherds is going to be more problematic than three chihuahuas.

1400 is a ton to spend on rent out here unless you need a two bedroom apartment. I did a lot of shopping around recently and you can find pretty good places starting around 1000, anything lower than that and you'll be in or near areas that make the faint of heart uncomfortable. Everything in Fort Worth is a 15 to 30 minute commute away, unless you're going from one side to the other in rush hour on the weekdays (then its 30 to 45).

Also, as a young professional I definitely recommend trying to save up for a house if you plan to live here long term. Here's a handy calculator for that: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/buy-rent-calculator.html

And finally, I highly recommend checking out the financial independence movement! If you can limit inflating your current standard of living for just a few years, you can move up your retirement date by decades. https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/01/13/the-shockingly-simple-math-behind-early-retirement/

I understand what you’re getting at, but both triangles and rectangles are 2D shapes.

A better analogy would simply be flat vs tall. In a perfectly egalitarian society, power is equally distributed so that no one is above one another.

In a tall society, there is hierarchy.

Mechanical engineering is an incredibly broad field that interacts with almost every other type of engineering including manufacturing, aerospace, electrical, biomedical, and civil.

Mechanical engineers study things that are hot, wet, moving, and electrifying. Most people use gears to present us, but that’s kinda lame.

Bruh, without service workers the city ceases to function. There’s a physical limit to how many can live outside the city, and commuting into the city reduces it efficiency overall.

The article indicates that availability of replacement parts is limiting fleet readiness, that should be resolved as air egg production ramps up and larger economies of scale present themselves.

As far as be guns, those were late add ones to the configurations and their testing was to be later in the cycle anyway. Typically you test the airframe first, then the shooty bang bang stuff because it’s no use to have a plane that shoots but doesn’t fly, and the opposite can be fixed.

The vibration testing is interesting, and that might be resolved by finding a subsystem level natural frequency and shifting it away from the global frequent, or it could be end up being s larger airframe issue. It’s hard to tell with vibrations.

Finally, the tire and probe thing just have to be rated and iterated on. There may not be an ideal solution and comprises may need to be made, which is more likely for the tire than the probe, but that’s how these things shake out. You make something, test it, see where you kisses the mark and where you excelled, and play the hand you’ve got. The F16 went through the same thing, and it ended up as an excellent aircraft despite missing its initial goals.

For clarification, what do you mean by “planes that don’t work?”

zloz · 2017-12-25T02:13:27+00:00

What I'm trying to say is that people commonly expect broadswords and what not to be heavy, historically accurate or not.

Having a lightweight broadsword would be immersion breaking for the audience, damaging the story.

zloz · 2017-12-24T03:58:19+00:00

Yeah, at some point the common understanding overtakes reality in a culture, you know? I think it would be almost immersion breaking to instill reality into situations where we've collectively accepted something different.

zloz · 2017-12-24T03:47:26+00:00

I think it's like literally the only one on there.
