I was joking.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Also, people in my experience (talking mainly about strangers here), are a lot more willing to be obnoxious on email than in person or on the phone.

It's also a lot easier to unintentionally come...

I was born in '68, boomers were '45 to '65 afaik. Not sure what my generation is called. I would go with the cool kids myself, but maybe that's just me.

Watching a movie on a phone is torture imo....

Doing anything on a phone other than talking is a huge pain. Typing texts one letter at a time, squinting to read them, getting autocorrected into oblivion, fuck off. Just call the damn person and...

You would think if they were so concerned about being scooped they'd first send it to a journal for peer review, while keeping it in a private space on the public server (i.e., no-one can view it but...

Ok well it was put on a public server four days ago. Anyone can do that. I.e., it hasn't been submitted to a journal and gone through peer review, so I would not get too excited just yet.

Depends on whether you believe in rehabilitation. Surprised this guy isn't working for Big Wind, that's where all the money is...

What the highest-order derivative that has a use in the real world?

For example, in movement we sometimes measure jerk (second derivative of velocity, or third of position) as a measure of...

Funny because this is kind of how statistics work too. People expect it to give them definitive yes/no answers when really it's a lot of educated guessing.

Good, succinct explanation, thanks.

I saw that mythbusters. There was another one where they tried to swim through syrup. Seems they're quite keen on fluid dynamics lol.

Ok, wtf is going on here?

My guess is the pressure is compressing the H20 molecules so more space is taken up by the starch,...

Oh yeah, I guess the ferrofluid wouldn't hover in the medium like that if it had a different density.

Magnetism makes much more sense.

I'm guessing the vibrations impact the dark fluid differently than the medium it's in because of something to do with density.

amirite?

I thought the moon went around the Earth. What's this parabola shit?

It might be a big deal for some measures of brain activity that rely on electical-magnetic signals, such as electroencephalography (though that's not a very influential method tbf). And, some means...

I believe that's referred to as the 'fart propulsion' method.

Planets have to be much smaller if drawn to scale, or not?

Oh, you're still alive? Well done!

You could probably get a used bomb disposal suit for a couple hundred quid.

Seriously you have no sensible plan for how to sell this stuff.

You think 'a school sold them to me, a different school will buy them'

Fact is, there is no way a school goes and buys chemistry...

Maybe there's a school that purchases things off ebay from unknown people to use in a chemistry lab with young people. But I kinda doubt it.
