 you are working with angular momentum. A steep enough hill,

I couldn’t help but think of FE stupidity while at the playground with the kid.

This playground marry-go-round with good bearings is easy to spin.  I’ve seen a three year old spin the thing. 



Just minimum effort to spin this all steel 400 pound dinosaur of the playground world.


Take the same equipment, try to get it on a decent wheelbarrow, and push it up wheel would be back breaking work.  I don’t think the three year old is going to cut it.

Flat Earth Debate / Your FAQs page
« Last post by Imnotsure123 on Today at 08:03:55 AM »
I'm afraid to say that your FAQ page is not convincing me...
1) the map has the north pole down as overlapping with other land masses (not sure what because it is wildly distorted). This would mean it is possible to walk across most continents without any water or air travel. As you would know if you left your house, the landmasses are not connected in this way. Everyone that has done basic geography knows that land is not connected in this way
2) the use of the words 'truth' and correct theory is not convincing me at all because it is the obvious way to cover up that it is an unusual and minority belief.
3) if you'd like to convince me, give me some real evidence. Not the usual 'pick up a book' or 'look around' or even the lack of facts meaning it is true. Real, evidence. Photos, maths, science.

Just saying this is coming from a teen!
Good luck

I have never watched one of these Trump White House videos before. I didn't know they added dramatic music to them, like a movie or tv show. lol I shouldn't be surprised.

While I agree that it is a good thing to lower drug prices, I don't think the high prices are caused by other countries not paying their fair share. The pharmaceutical industry is going to charge the highest amount they can get away with, and they bought our politicians. They get away with charging high prices in the US because the govt protects them.

Bernie Sanders -
Quote
“I agree with President Trump: it is an outrage that the American people pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs,” Sanders said in a statement.

“But let’s be clear: the problem is not that the price of prescription drugs is too low in Europe and Canada. The problem is that the extraordinarily greedy pharmaceutical industry made over $100bn in profits last year by ripping off the American people.”

I think Bernie is correct. It would be awesome if congress could get together on this one and write some real legislation, because Trump's EO isn't going to stand up in court.

It's like this. While you're fiddling with clutch,

My jeep actual has a six cylinder engine rated around 285 horsepower power.  It has plenty of power for a two door jeep. 

I can be running on the highway at 70 mph on a curve on a level surface and place the transmission in neutral.  The jeep keeps going with momentum taking the turn and doesn’t lose much speed. And when I put it back in 6th gear it’s fine.

 If I do the same thing going up a steep hill, I lose speed at a much greater rate.  If I try placing the manual transmission back in 6th gear after putting the manual transmission in neutral driving up mid steep hill, I risk stalling out / killing the engine and need to down shift before engaging the transmission.

Again.  Staying in 6th on a curve on a level surface doesn’t mess with the fuel mileage.  Trying to run up a steep hill in 6th makes the fuel mileage go down with the engine running like crap with no power until I down shift to 5th or 4th gear.  Anyway, the gas mileage is still way down.  It’s really pronounced if I’m pulling my trailer loaded down with gravel. 

Again Bulma, the fact you got to blatantly lie about driving up hill is why people hate flat earthers.  You are so brainwashed you have to lie about simple everyday events.

Btw, when I typed in radial momentum, it led me straight to

Angular momentum
Measure of the extent to which an object will continue to rotate in the absence of an applied torque
Quote
Angular momentum (sometimes called moment of momentum or rotational momentum) is the rotational analog of linear momentum.
We are not using this definition. They seem to have swallowed a definition by conflation.

Angular momentum: The tendency of objects to stay in motion along slopes or inclined planes.
Linear momentum: The tendency of objects to stay in motion along level planes.
Radial/rotational momentum: The tendency of objects to stay in motion (to rotate) in the absence of an applied torque.

This means a gyroscope spins due to rotational momentum, but it tilts due to angular momentum. Conflating the two is stupid. They are two distinct types of momentum.
I’m sorry but it doesn’t work that way.  You don’t get to redefine the well established fundamental concepts of physics just because they aren’t to your liking.  There is a reason that they have stood the test of time and helped build our modern world; they work.  If you don’t want to use the proper vocabulary, then there is no point in trying to have any sort of meaningful discussion.

I don't fucking care what happens to 1/1000 of a rod or sphere or whatever. pw07x.jpg[/img]

Read what was posted..

I can take a piece of rod 3 inches in diameter.  Put it in a metal lathe and turn it to cut one thousandth of an inch off the diameter to make a grove in the rod one thousandth of an inch deep.  If I don’t advance the cutting tool, the cutting tool just rides the new cut grove.  It don’t magically start rising off the grove, it doesn’t magically start cutting deep.  Is just traces the surface.

Your logic is stupid Bulma.  And it seems your so brainwashed you are a pathological liar.


The cutting tool once the grove is cut follows the surface of the spinning rod without leaving the cut grove.  It does magical rise out of the grove or start magically cutting without being advanced.  Sad you can’t get walking on a large sphere like the earth would be the same way.  You would just simply fallow the surface.  And would always be on the surface.

You call other people liars, while you can't even tell the truth about what a line is, what angle is, what a radius is. And you tell me something is accelerating on a line when it is continuing to roll on a slope. These are all lies.
Well at least you are now admitting you are lying.

The one continually lying about things here is you.
Wilfully rejecting the meaning of words to outright lie to people.

We're talking about a confirmed theory of curvature
Yes, something which has been demonstrated countless times; which you can even do yourself, but choose not to.

Not even one inch of curvature over 100 miles happens.
So you have actually measured that?
Constructing a straight edge over 100 miles, and measured that not a single inch of curvature happened?
Just how did you pull off this feat?

Or do you actually mean you just don't know of any instance recoding it, because you choose to remain wilfully ignorant of reality?

Dishonesty through logical fallacy.
Fallacy of composition:
The logical fallacy where one assumes that what is true for a part is also true for the whole
i.e. WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
You can't measure the curve in your bathtub, so you assume it can never be measured.

When you measure enough points as level, sooner or later, you cannot be talking about a sphere.
This is quite literally the fallacy of composition.
You are taking measurements over a tiny area and using that to make a claim about the whole, while ignoring the uncertainty associated with it.

If you want to disagree, why don't you tell us what you are doing to measure it as "level", by which you really mean flat?

The same isn't true of an angled side of a basketball.
Again, Earth is not a tiny ball held on top of a much larger ball.
Stop appealing to your tiny balls. If you want to do so, then do so honestly.
That means understanding which way is "down", and how the measurement of level would work.
Stop appealing to your magical universal down you cannot justify or demonstrates exists.

But that doesn't help you at all with the issue of the OP.
Putting aside your pathetic fantasy for a second, what is expected for the RE?
Can you honestly answer that? Or can you just repeat the same pathetic BS?

it is in neutral for the seconds that it's between gears.
Which is a far greater problem for automatic transmissions.

His car doesn't suck, you just suck.

You call other people liars,

Bulma.  You more than once tried to say this picture was taken over 40 miles away.  You been called out and correct multiple times on this lie.



Read the caption of the picture.

You have repeatedly highjacked other people’s work and been corrected on it multiple times.  For you to use the same lies repeatedly makes you a pathological liar.  You are so brainwashed you keep using the same lies you been repeatedly shown to be a liar on.

Flat Earth General / Re: WHY would the government trick us?
« Last post by JackBlack on Today at 04:08:00 AM »
Because you cannot understand anything, you come to assumptions.
That certainly seems to describe a lot of what you do.

Cherry picking bits of the Bible isn't going to help your case.
It isn't going to stop you being a hypocrite, and isn't going to magically make you right.

Kings lead us in a way that imposes too many laws and rules.
Like the imaginary POS you worship.

Someone who works to investigate government overreach (DOGE).
No, that is someone who works to line their own pockets. Including trying to destroy an organisation which was actively investigating his company for all the harm it has done.
Someone who, like you, fails to understand what they are talking and completely fucks things up.

and the stripping down of government, I approve of his actions
Until it reaches the point you don't like, at which point you want those regulations.

But you do not not appreciate freedom for you are like these men who demand a king at all costs, because they do not respect God.
Quite the opposite.
I do appreciate freedom. Which is one reason why I would never respect your evil POS, a being so evil it is far worse than any human has ever been.

if a king is not legitimate or loses legitimacy, then he begins to act in a way that is crazy.
Again, like the evil POS you worship.

You assume that people do this.
No. I conclude that, because the rest stop doesn't just magically appear out of nowhere with fruits trees which aren't even native to the area just magically growing there.

It is God who gives these things
There is no evidence your evil POS gives anything.

India planted fruit trees
And was that people, or did they just magically appear?

If not for big government, big corporations would receive karma for screwing over customers.
Another worthless idea?

Walmart makes a bunch of people poor? They boycott it?
They starve, they come crawling back.
Doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
Or without regulation, they just start stealing from the people the money they would have gotten.
Without regulation, what would stop them from throwing you in jail, or killing a few people to set an example to have you start behaving?

A lack of regulation lead to the kings you are appealing to as bad.

It is specifically because of government intervention that corporations do more harm than they would if left to their own devices.
No, government intervention means they do LESS harm, but still harm, because far too many governments have people like the POS you idolise who want to line their own pockets.

If I wanted to make my own meter and remove the official one, I would be breaking the law
It is removing the official one.
It is removing one installed and owned by a company under an agreement that means you aren't allowed to.
It belongs to them, which means removing it, especially in a way that can damage it, would be breaking the law.
Likewise, if you want to get power from them, they get to decide what meter you can use.
It would require government regulation to force them into allowing you to install your own meter to use their power.

But you can get that meter removed, and live entirely off grid.
The reason there is effectively a monopoly on power is the massive amount of infrastructure required for it.
That isn't from government regulation.

And without regulation, they could charge you whatever they wanted.

But if you think big business is the problem (I don't, but I'll humor you), then by not bailing them out, they stop their evil ways.
And cause massive damage in the process.
The solution is to bail them out in a fundamentally different way, where they have to pay back that debt, and importantly, hold those in charge accountable.

but even though most of their staff are in call centers overseas, they probably will survive as a business even though they have little effect on American employment.
Yes, the lack of regulation elsewhere has allowed them to exploit people in other countries to have incredibly cheap labour.
Did you want the American public to suffer the same way those who are being exploited are?

And even with how crappy it is, no one is boycotting it to stop it.

Just how do you think a lack of regulation would improve anything here?

Again, you demonstrate a complete lack of critical thinking.
