Fu*k Canada.

As to rest, it is not as serious as most think and the OP should not have be posted as it is not as important as people think. I have nothing else to add at the moment. At the this moment in time Mat and I are eating pizza and drinking beer and will soon be smoking a joint. Life is too short to take this stuff seriously, especially on a Friday night. Will sort this all out later as necessary.

We have plausible deniability. Ignore all I said, and I have completely responsibility for all things posted.

I denied everything. Including making a post in this thread. Which doesn't deserve a response. Good night.

Now I feel bad for teasing masque about the length of his posts even though I think he and I worked it out ok in the end. Come back, masque!

People should have a feel when they are pushing people too hard and not do that final push over the cliff. They should start thinking far before.

At least not brag when they have scored the "killing". That is reserved for the worst of the worst.

Bullies in SMP: stop!

You can't do whatever you like in the name of science.

Could it possibly be that he finally took the advice of his hand doctor and quit it?

He did wisely, under the unbearable circumstances.

I have trained all my life how to handle attacks, some people have better things to do.

Who is Milieu, and why do you refer to him/her as "the"?

Language wizard there

Breaking some rules though?

You have to look civilized when addressing the SMP.

Dammit, how did I miss that you also capitalized unfriendly? Sigh.

Still seems a little odd to use title rules for a thread title (never mind the use of milieu (yes, I know the word) - not sure if you should be applauded for its use or mocked for trying too hard), but I will concede the point and step out of the way of the video exchange.

Edit to add: The more I think about it, the more I think you're bang-on with the capitalization.

Further Edit: In my defense, I think I jumped to the conclusion that Milieu was wrong because I would capitalize "is". I know there are capitalization rules that say otherwise, but capitalization rules based on word length suck IMO.

Had a feeling I broke some rule, but it was half-deliberatly. It's a way of showing cojones. Bending the language as it suits you in a context.

Capitalizing "is" this time would have looked high horses. Better to have the shocking Milieu as the first in-sentence capitalization. Serious with a smile.

I really only lurk in SMP, but from an outsider's perspective you could really do with a Reddit-type ELI5 (explain it like I'm 5) thread or question category that demands a simple equation-free explanation where possible.

People like Masque need to recognise that, whilst simple questions often have complex answers, it is more mostly more helpful to answer a simply put question with an answer that the questioner will be likely to understand than to flex your enormous intellectual e-peen at the expense of general intelligibility.

Example from the thread in question:

Question

Quote:
Was thinking about whether a tight turn going slow is better than a wide turn going fast. My guess is they are the same, therefore the following.

Say we make a tight turn at a certain speed, achieving a certain number of Gs. But if we make a wider turn, the speed we have to go to reach the finish line in the same amount of time will produce the same Gs as the tighter turn.

True?
Appropriate and clever answer:

I'm here to show how very clever I am answer:

It is not clear what geometry of curves you have here though so i cant follow (based on the constraint of same time to reach finish line). Can you offer a drawing (or a drawing on top of a picture that inspired the thought maybe) and your claim in it?

The constraints of the problem to reach at the same time the finish line and the path suggested need to be known and compared to where we start from and where we face a decision and act to change path to a larger one.

Since its u2^2/r2 it can be anything depending how u2 and r2 compare to the other example parameters v1,r1 that gave v1^2/r1 if the path was locally seen as a circular arc. Also paths may not be exactly circular and then u, r and a can be changing with time depending on what exact path curve one has.


Basically you need to describe exactly the situation in order to see how these parameters relate to each other or how the constraints that relate them emerge.

If you imagine a situation (say 2 cars taking a turn at different lanes) that you compare 2 concentric arcs of same angle f (like "))" say ), one with the small radius of curvature and another with the larger, such that they both happen under different constant speeds and they take the same amount of time (ie same angular velocity w) then one has;

time of travel for both for an angle f = f/2Pi*r1/u1=f/2Pi*r2/u2 or

r1/u1=r2/u2

Since u1=2Pi*r1/T1=r1*w (w=2Pi/T the angular velocity and T the period of the rotation) the above is just a statement that they have the same angular velocity.

The centripetal accelerations a1, a2 for both are;

a1=v1^2/r1=w^2*r1^2/r1 =w^2*r1 and
a2=w^2*r2

so a2/a1=r2/r1 and the largest arc is the one that experiences larger centripetal force for that situation.


But if you are talking about the same car and 2 choices to take a turn (facing a decision on strategy), both taking the same time, you need to give me some actual drawing to see where the 2 paths deviate and how they relate to the finish line etc to get them in the same time there. A general theorem relating the 2 centripetals may be possible to argue/construct here if the 2 paths take same time and they meet at the beginning and end of the 2 paths corresponding to 2 different curves and some concept of avg centripetal acceleration say.
I also Aaron's answer to be way 'friendlier' to the OP than masque's, since it's pitched at the level of the question and will encourage him to think.

The people who understand masque's answer likely already know the answer to the OP.

It's that presumption you are in charge of other people's grammar which is unfriendly and unknowledgeable. Nobody involved is asking for grammar help.
