I'm only asking how far 1,1 is from 1,2 in a discrete space system. As far as I can tell, it's 0 units, right?
May 04, 2024 at 19:59
The problem is adjacency. If object A is adjacent to object B on a finite grid, what is the distance from A to B? If it's 0 units, then A and B occupy...

If it's at L-1 at T-1 and L-2 at T-2, how long did it take to get from L-1 to L-2? If the answer is 0, then it was at L-1 and L-2 at the same time bec...

Assuming at the most microscopic level, the object is on an 8x8 chessboard. The pawn moves from e2 to e3. There is no e2.1 or other smaller increments...

Why were you qualified to talk about it before but now I have to find a physicist on a Saturday morning to answer these follow up questions?
May 04, 2024 at 13:02
How much time elapses from travel to point a to point b and where is the object located during that time lapse? Does the object leave existence betwee...

That's sort of a fun challenge, and it'd likely save you money where you bring a certain amount to the store and you have to feed yourself on just tha...

I do think the sandwich smoothie could have been better achieved with a blender than the hydraulic small hole method he used. I'd have hoped for a mor...

I think possibly. If the objective is happiness and not truth, then it's not irrational to hold to a false belief. If the decision does not ultimately...

I typically use lead based tacks. They're not toxic in a fatal sort of way, but they have made me stupid as shit.

Not a bad idea. Were you thinking regular carpenter's glue or a glue gun? Would you clamp it while it dried? Have you considered a weld, or do you thi...

That is interesting and it makes me think the problem lies less with the ham and more with the cheese. Unconventional as it might sound, I'm going to ...
May 03, 2024 at 12:56
A mild sanding to roughen the surface of the ham to gain adhesion of the cheese upon melting is one solution. A kitchen sander is uncommon, but well w...

I'd suggest that the word "eternal" is not a word found in physics' books, but is a borrowed theological word. The word infinity avoids the religious ...

I'm not sure I follow the analogy. My take on deism is that it is not posited to give you something to pray to, to bring meaning into your life, or to...

Whatever ambiguity there might be in terms of what sort of socks they are, one thing is for certain. They are ruggedly masculine.

Anyone here run 5ks, and if so, what is your time? My goal is around 28 minutes, which is pretty slow, but at least I show up and do it, right?
