It's a fertile ground for it, sure. It really depends how desensitised you are to it all whether you'll enjoy it or not. About one post in ten is racist, about eight out of ten are misogynistic in some way, and the -fag suffix is used to describe almost anyone(barbefag, for example).

So about as bad as any school.

showing ur work

1) A car crashes into a wall at 25 m/s and is brought to rest in 0.1 s. Calculate the average force exerted on a 75-kg crash test dummy by the seat belt.

2) Using the definitions of momentum and kinetic energy, p = mv and KE = (1/2) mv², show, by algebraic manipulation, that you can write KE = p²/2m. This equation tells us that, if two objects have the same momentum, the one of less mass has the greater kinetic energy.

ooh! how do you get the exponent to show up in a barb post?

1. the dummy loses 25 m/s velocity in 0.1 seconds, so that's 25/0.1 = 250 m/s/s acceleration (assuming constant deceleration). multiplied by 75 kg because F=ma, the total force is 18,750 Newtons. unless I did something stupid.

2. rewrite momentum equation as v=p/m and substitute into the kinetic energy equation.

must admit to having to search on wikipedia for 'poutine'...

having done so, only with a large ale.

i'd really advise an apple, with a slice of wholegrain bread and a carrot instead, but i don't imagine you'll find that as appealing now you've set your stomach juices aflow...

Hey Lenny:
You're outside of Toronto? Hmmm. I usually avoid poutine outside of La Belle Province.
There's a place on hwy 148 in the town of Plaissance called "Patalou". Best poutine east of Quebec City.

There's some old movie with a picture of the moon with a rocket stuk in it's eye. What's the movie? (Im starting to think that Im completly wrong and it was nothing more than a badly remembered Smashing Pumpkins video)

and why is coloured printing more expensive than black and white yet black paper is more expensive than coloured?

Question - Can you extend a tourist visa in the USA by crossing the border and coming back in?

Keggers, my Canadian chum, just for you:

Film: Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902!!)

Director: Georges Melies

"Parisian and 1900s filmmaker Georges Méliès is not only credited as the forefather of special effects but is also one of the first true independent filmmakers. He not only developed cinema technically but also narratologically, wowing audiences with such spectacles as "Le Voyage dans la lune" in 1902 (A Trip to the Moon).

A Trip to the Moon also features the iconic image of a rocket crash landing in the man in the moon’s eye, a still which has become synonymous with filmmaking and is identifiable by film scholars worldwide. Méliès was a magician and owned the famed Theatre Robert-Houdin in Paris; he built the first film studio and the likes of D.W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin credit him with a huge debt of gratitude."

Question - Can you extend a tourist visa in the USA by crossing the border and coming back in?

You used to be able to do this regularly - I had cousins who extended a 3-month visa to more than a year by flying in and out of the Bahamas every so often.

That was before 2001, and I believe they've tightened the regulations around that. If you can find a border crossing lax enough that the customs officials aren't looking at visa expiry dates, you might (MIGHT) be able to pull it off, MAYBE. But they might have altered the whole system. I don't know.

Yeah I doubt its as easy as here where you can just take a day trip to Uruguay to restart the 3 months. It seems quite easy to just ask and get upgraded to 9 months so I'll probably do that.

That's... neat.

Okay - a question for the Japanese/English bilinguals out there. When translating from English to Japanese - does the word length increase, decrease or stay about the same?

Usually the hawk symbolizes war, as does the sword.

I'm not really a Japanese speaker, but my understanding is there are a lot more one-syllable words in Japanese than in English.

If I have six bottles of Buck's Fizz which have a best before date of June 2008, how long after that should I reasonably expect them to last before they become more rancid-tasting or likely to make me ill than they were to start with?

I would very surprised if they weren't fine through the end of the year. Expiration dates tend to be very conservative, especially with alcohol, which goes through a very slow decline in quality. Keep them refrigerated and I suspect they'll be fine.
 
 
Pingle!Pop
19:29 / 28.09.08
Thank'ee. Ahhh, refrigerated... er, they haven't been so far (they don't say anything on them) and there isn't really room in the fridge. I'll try to drink them as soon as I can, though, albeit it has to be said that more than one bottle in a night is pretty difficult...

I'm not sure how the orange juice interacts with this, although I imagine any orange juice added to bottles of pre-mixed bucks fizz has probably been quite heavily adulterated for longevity anyway, but the main reasons for alcohol having best-before or use by dates is that is stops tasting good, and thus if it were sold without an indication of why it would hurt the brand. There's a side-issue of secondary fermentation in beer, but mainly beer goes flat and stale, or wine's acidity goes out of balance. Generally, it will start tasting unpleasant a good while before it will kill you, since the alcohol helps to slow bacterial development (depending on how dilute it is, of course). Having said which, I've never tried pushing the envelope with bucks fizz. Barring that one awful time. For making your mind up.
 
 
Pingle!Pop
17:54 / 29.09.08
Thank'ee, that helps. Buck's Fizz isn't the loveliest drink anyway, and I'm not much of a drinks critic. Actually, maybe I could start now? The Man just gave me FREE CHAMPAGNE, so maybe I could just keep on going now I'm back home...

Not stalking, just trying to find more pictures of her. I'm teaching a book with a character called Kaira, and the students like to see pictures of the characters. I always googleimage the name since then I'll be able to find them again, but this one is on a website where the guy has used her image as something else (he's named her Kaira it looks like). It's no biggie, they are just getting bored of seeing the same two pictures! Thanks anyway.

mebbe should post this in switchboard, but hell, i'm here: if a US president dies in office [or otherwise abdicates power] how long does it take for a new election (moot for the incumbent, shucks) - is it until four years was gonna be up or how is it arranged?

and will the earth's rotation be affected by the imminent (well, some time in the next couple millennia or so...) switching of the magnetic poles?

these questions are not related, though prizes should probably be awarded to anyone who can make logical connections...

The Vive President serves out the rest of the President's term, which is set at four years. If the Vice President dies or is disabled, the speaker of the House of Representatives takes over. Then the president pro tem of the Sernate, and after that members of the President's staff in order of seniority - Secretary of State, Treasury, Defence and down to President Roslin.

The president pro tempore of the Senate is an honorary title given to the longest-serving senator of the majority, meaning that for a long time batshit loopy nonagenarian Strom Thurmond was in the line of succession, although at least he was elected.

Jub - you might want to try facesaerch.
