This guy is the definition of a vexatious litigant. IMHO, we need a randomly selected pool of judges to determine if any case or complaint he makes can even be heard in court, and if he fails to make it to court, he automatically pays damages to the party he was pursuing legal action against.

We need a special system just to deal with assholes like this.

This is not a red herring.

Fine, let’s say it’s held on with elf cum. I’d love to see you explain how that matters.

The box moves in relation to the portal opening. The reference frame is the portal opening. If, from start to finish, the box takes 1 second to enter the portal, it has to take one second to exit the portal.

Whoop, you made an incorrect assumption there. You are only using a frame of reference that includes the box and the portal, any conservation of momentum is only valid for that frame of reference.

How is the portal affixed to the piston?

It’s doesn’t matter really, this is a red herring.

The box has to exit at the same rate it enters…

There is the problem with your logic. The box doesnt move, there is a shortcut in space that moves around it.

the law of conservation of mass and energy dictates that no new energy is created and it has to come from somewhere

EXACTLY!! A is the only scenario where energy (or more accurately, momentum) is conserved in this case. If you want to think about why that is, see my previous post where I extrapolated on a case where a lighter object with a portal on it is moved over the box.

if the portal was put on an object lighter than the box and then quickly moved over the box, the box would be launched at a speed equal to the speed of the lighter object, while it has more mass, this is not a conservation of momentum.

Sure, because the portal is affixed to the piston, but you should note that the portal is not affixed to the box. The box doesn’t interact with the piston, or the portal, in the same way it doesn’t interact with a hoola-hoop that is passed around it.

The cube doesn’t interact with the piston, but it does interact with the portal and the portal is fixed to the piston.

The portal isn’t an object, the cube doesn’t interact with it either. Saying you interact with the portal is the same as saying the hole in a lasso is an object that you interact with.

As the cube enters the portal, it will take on energy from the piston

Why would it take the energy of the piston? It never interacts with the piston at all.

If we’re only supposed to do ragebait answers, then anyone who passed 3rd grade science would be able to tell you the answer is obviously B

If you actually played the game, and paid attention in physics class in highschool, then you would know the answer is clearly A, and everyone who says it is B really needed the simplified explanation from GLaDOS to understand how to play the game.

Looks real the same way WWE looks real. I mean, you gotta love the skill/tech used to achieve these feats, but real robots fighting with no restraint wouldn’t need to take a few seconds to dick around after every kick.

I’d bet he did it as a stunt to show how durable the liner is.

“Look, the liner is so strong, the strongest, so strong that I can drive a car, not a car really, a limo, but a big limo, a big beautiful limo, more tank than limo if you ask me, but I can drive, I drive the best, ask anyone, but I didn’t drive, I have people to drive for me, they drove my limo, tank really, onto the reflecting pool, it’s gonna be beautiful, believe me, it’s beautiful already, and I know a thing or two about beauty, well they drove my car, all my limos, onto the reflecting pool, that’s a funny word, limo, is short for limousine, did you know that, I bet you didn’t know that. Limousine, like magazine, a big beautiful magazine, this reflecting pool will be in magazines, they’ll see it and go “oh, it’s beautiful Mr. President, we want our whole magazine to be picture of your pool” they wouldn’t do that though, the mainstream media, they wouldn’t report on how strong and beautiful this pool is, they just want to attack. They want to attack me for trying to fix it. 168 million dollars. Obama had 168 million dollars and we did it for 8, or maybe 14. It’s going to be perfect, believe me. It’s perfect.”

Give me something to be proud of, and I’ll be fucking proud.

But currently…

We have hands down, the most corrupt federal government in our history.

We’re blowing up non-military boats without any due process.

We’re shooting missiles in elementary schools and threatening the death of an entire country.

We’re financially and materially supporting/encouraging a genocide.

We’ve hung Ukraine out to dry.

We’ve absolutely skull fucked the global economy.

We’re being lead by (probably) a core member of the largest child trafficking operation in the last century.

Our people can’t afford healthcare, childcare, housing and food.

The right to vote is actively being undermined.

You know what would make me fucking proud?

Fining (or better yet liquidating) the corrupt companies, individuals and organizations that are party to trumps grifts, using that money to establish UBI, pay reparations to Iran (of all fucking things), establish fair and sensible taxation policies, reset the supreme court, and put every fucking member of the Trump admin through an actual justice system that is accountable to the people.

Franky, anyone who is proud of the US right now needs to be fucking locked up.

Oh, I forgot, we have literal concentration camps in the US right now… For the second time in 10 years!

Reminds me of commiting to the simulation in superhot VR. I legit had to pull off the headset and make sure it was just a game first.

… That isn’t why the sky is blue though…

… That isn’t why water is blue though…

Pretty much every thing about it.

It’s a weird maneuver. People get into the passing lane to pass. If you get into the passing lane and hit the brakes, you are just asking to confuse the people behind you.

It sends confusing information to the people behind you. If I see the car ahead of me hop out of lane while clearly not in a passing situation, it’s usually because there is something hazardous in the road, and I need to dodge it as well, I’d be moving out of lane pretty much the exact moment you started slamming your brakes.

You have less visibility behind you than you do in front, making the maneuver much more dangerous. You might be popping out of lane to do your “Reverse pass” at the exact moment the person behind you, in or a person behind them decides to pass. You could also get stuck in a situation where you go for the “reverse pass” and realize that there is actually more cars behind you than you expected, and now you’re stuck going slow in the wrong lane with no way to get back over.

Cars can (almost) always brake faster than they can accelerate. If you need to get back into your original place because it is unsafe to complete the pass, it’s a lot easier to slow down to get back to it, than it is to accelerate to get back to it.

Don’t “reverse pass”. In fact, you really should pull your post or edit it to advise people not to do it. It’s illegal, it’s dangerous and it will get people hurt or killed. This is not a joke or a shit-post. I’m dead serious.

Reverse passing is just like it sounds - passing in reverse. You enter the left lane, slow down rapidly, and then move back over. You force the driver behind you to pass you whether they want to or not.

No no no. God sweet Jesus no. NEVER EVER DO THAT.

If you want someone to pass you, here is what you do. Wait until there is a clear stretch of road for them to pass on, and move your car as far to the right as possible so they can see around you easily, and then let them pass if they want to. If you really want to encourage them, slow down just a tad, maybe 3-5 mph, and if that doesn’t work, throw on your hazards too.

Yeah, but all the inattentive parents can now successfully pass on their genes and social values… Which is why we’re seeing a huge age verification push online right now. If those people or their children got mauled or eaten at higher rates then we wouldn’t have this problem.

I have been driving less because of the gas prices… But that’s because my wife keeps stealing my fake Mustang for her errands, since it is too expensive to drive her gas-guzzer Honda Civic.

And a hot pocket is just a savory double-stuff poptart.

It’s obviously chest hair.

Shut the fuck up. Don’t give them any ideas!!!
