A narcissistic asshole gaslighting its victims into believing they’re not really victims because the narcissistic asshole made a bet.

It’s supposed the be an explanation for how evil can exist despite a benevolent creator… but it sums up as a sock puppet to which the explanation is “you wouldn’t understand”

one of my favorites.

Vir: “Ah! he has become one with [whatever]!”

Garibaldi: “he’s passed out!”

vir: “That too.”

The other favorite moments? When Lando does the Hokey pokey ,

Delenn getting all Scary

and most the scenes with Bester (good lord I would not have expected that from Walter Koenig. talk about breaking the type cast. he played such an amazing villian.)

Well, make them prove that. this should be fun!

… Property theft. they don’t have the deed, so it’s not theirs to sell…

I’m reminded of that episode in Babylon 5, where each of the major races on the station were showing off their faiths.

Yeah, there’s that.

They like changing definitions. Though, if we’re gonna talk about groomers, she’s more likely to be one than drag or LGBTQ, and it ain’t even close.

Replied wrong, I’ll fix it

I stand by what I said though: Biden didn’t win.

Neither did Trump. It was a stupid thing to get into that only created more ammunition- and that’s all it was ever gonna do.

Yes. It can.

Biden just got into a wrestling match with an orange turd.

Sometimes, nobody wins.

You mean like they did in ‘16?

You mean like they did in this time too? when telling everyone not to primary? The super delegates created all of this mess.

2020 was way closer than it should have been, with key states being a hair’s breath from going to Trump.

Biden cannot afford to lose any votes.

If

1 x 0 = 0

And

2 x 0 = 0

Then 1 = 2.

And this folks is why you don’t hire “math teachers” because he was a successful football coach. It took him way too long to realize this is why we don’t divide by zero, (more than a week, actually.)

Not gonna lie… water into booze would be a neat party trick.

So, outa curiosity…. How many cans of Mountain Dew did Biden slam back?

Cat-people. Fox-people. Wolf-people. All furries.

Tax people.

Sorry. Guess the joke didn’t land.

Just to clarify; you understand that because the engines are pushing on the plane itself and not the wheels, by the time the wheels start moving, the plane is already moving relative to ground and air alike.

Which, said another way, this thought problem appears confusing because it’s being considered from otherwise irrelevant reference frames.

An anchor sufficient to keep the plane from rolling forward is different because the force it is apply is significantly greater.

Sure, you can deflate the tires and increase the rate of spin on the wheels. But at that point, you might as well ask “can we creat a scenario where planes can’t take off”

To which the answer is definitely “Yes”,

And as a side note, if we assume the wheels are indestructible, which I’d argue is only fair, then even if what you’re saying is true and we ramp up the drag induced by the wheels sufficient to counter the engines… then the wind generated by the rolling treadmill would be producing a sufficient headwind for the plane to take off. (Remember, the air resistance of the treadmill’s belt moving will accelerate the air some.)

But again, the wheels have almost zero drag to begin with, the speed at which the roll is independent of both the actual groundspeed and the airspeed of the airplane.

If it has the thrust to over come friction at take off speeds, and at standing, then it has enough power to get to take off velocity eventually.

On the other hand, this entire conversation assumes the thrust to weight ratio is less than 1. If it’s more than one, well they just…. Go straight up.

I’m not gonna judge. But not gonna lie. That’s a weirder fetish than some things furries get up to.

Though I wonder if it’s not just findom with cheap suits and stale coffee?

People are awful. If there’s nothing that they can be mean about, they’ll make shit up. I suspect most of that was more because she was rich/famous/influential in her own right rather than being tied to a husband.

(though she’s married. I looked it up outta curiosity. He doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page…

Except it’s not like attaching an anchor. The plane isn’t physically attached.

The wheels will just roll double whatever the current ground speed is. If the plane has enough thrust to take off with the treadmill moving an inverse of its take off speed, then it has enough force to start rolling, too.

At most, the force applied by the treadmill would be sufficient over enough time to lengthen the take off roll, but given enough space to do so, the plane will take off.

To keep the plane from rolling forward; the treadmill would have to be able to apply an equal force as the engines, it can’t do that through the wheels- the wheels can only apply a force equal to their rolling resistance and friction in its mechanics.
