    Newton’s laws, including gravity and motion, can be expressed in terms of differential equations.

    Differential equations pretty much requires calculus, which just hadn’t been formalized yet.

    Newton’s laws also provide convincing reasons for the necessity and legitimacy of calculus, by being able to derive orbits from his simple laws.



  • These people got caught because someone found their car and thus license plate.

    Another had left a fingerprinted bottle that went missing when watching surveillance footage.

    And then were able to confirm after finding the same outfit from the surveillance footage.

    The lessons to be learned are to not use cars anywhere near the scene, leave no trace, fingerprints or digital evidence, including a phone, and make sure any recognizable clothing is well hidden, or even better thoroughly destroyed.

    Oh and don’t post anything on social media.


  • No it doesn’t, so that’s why I didn’t speculate on the cause. But the statistics don’t lie, and you’d be a fool for assuming you’d be the exception.

    As for speculation, guns are tools of escalation. Pulling a gun on robber while half asleep can turn a robbery into a homicide. Not to mention all the stories of people who shoot at intruders who turn out to be police from a no knock warrant and inevitably kill someone.

    But it doesn’t matter what the cause for it really is in the end. Owning guns don’t make you safe.







  • Try and flip the fantasies on their head.

    Try looking for odd quirks and mannerisms that bother you and imagine how annoying it would be to be with a partner that does those things all the time.

    Look for the particular ways they want to be cared for in the manner and how you would not be suitable to meet them, and that they might be happier with someone else.

    Also just spend more time with them, and the infatuation will either fade or you’ll realize you do really like them, which is OK, let them know, and it’s OK if it’s not reciprocal (though this is actually quite hard as a lot of women are conditioned to not believe men who say this).

    Ehh I disagree, I played consistently ow1 for years and ow2 just wasn’t as good.

    I mainly missed tank synergies. Without it the game just wasn’t the same. The other tank changes were just insane too. And I preferred the full 6v6 experience.

    Then they had to go an monetize the shit out of it, when I already paid for the game! The last straw was either paying for new characters or grinding like hell.



  • I’m a bit surprised at a lot of the criticisms for the movies here, and I say this as a huge fan of the Dune novels too.

    Villeneuve has a particular film style like blade runner 2049, and Arrival.

    If you don’t like his style you won’t like the 2nd movie.

    But on the other hand part 1 sets the stage for everything that happens in part 2, and overall I think it is an excellent adaption. Dune is not an easy book to adapt to film, and some changes had to be made, but they’re aren’t any glaring changes that make me go “why the hell did you change it that way?”

    It’s extremely faithful to the book, and in cases where it’s not, I can see the reasoning for the change.
