Everyone has experienced something that doesn't make a lick of God damn sense and no matter how hard we try, we still don't get it. What shit don't make sense to you?

There is a book? And you say only a half? How would you describe the other half?Nouw said:Half of Starship Troopers the book.

I've been informed there is a reason for this, but I'm not clever enough to figure it out.
The other half is pretty cool, being hard science fiction and all. Starship Troopers the book has Space Marines with Powered Armour and it's deemed responsible for largely starting up the SM genre (by the people who actually know it). It has no cardboard armour soldiers and little battles.Dublin Solo said:There is a book? And you say only a half? How would you describe the other half?Nouw said:Half of Starship Troopers the book.
OT: Using a COM port and Telnet to try and format a damn PS3 Dev Kit. It's a mess.
Well its probably better then hearing about the German's from the perspective of everyone who hates them. I'm really tired of reading Holocaust books for English class.Count Igor said:OT: The fact that my school seems to love Germany so much,
Think about it.
We learn the German language for two years, with clubs for it.
You have extended German as a choice for GCSE's and A levels, and in history, EVERYTHING for the past couple of years has been about the German's. From the German's point of view.
Get over them already!
I'd prefer to just learn something cool, like the Egyptions or Aztects.The Procrastinated End said:Well its probably better then hearing about the German's from the perspective of everyone who hates them.

Me too, I'd much rather learn about Ancient Greece or something than British or German history...Count Igor said:I'd prefer to just learn something cool, like the Egyptions or Aztects.The Procrastinated End said:Well its probably better then hearing about the German's from the perspective of everyone who hates them.

Yeah, it's to do with the fact that one of the v's is instantaneous velocity at the end and the other v is average velocity.Simple Bluff said:right...AnOriginalConcept said:I'd be interested to see the math if you have it on hand.Simple Bluff said:[Put 2 eq'ns of motion together]

I've been informed there is a reason for this, but I'm not clever enough to figure it out.
v = u + at and s = ut + 1/2 at^2 and v = s/t
v = final velocity
u = inital velocity
a = acceleration
t = time
s = displacement (distance)
Assume an object begins from rest - so u = 0
That means:
v = at and s = 1/2at^2
a = v/t and a = 2s/t^2 ...... (make a independent of both terms)
v/t = 2s/t^2
v = 2s/t ......... (multiply by t)
v = 2v ............ (v = s/t)
1 = 2 ......... (divide by v)
------------------------------------------
Maybe it's to do with the fact that the first v is instantaneous, and the second v is average. But wouldn't that mean that v(i) = 2v(a)? That definatly doesn't make sense.
