You're so edgy! I'm jelly...

Us vs them... At least we can all agree on othering people we disagree with

This is gonna fun...

...tens of millions billions...

FTFY

Okay...

Good. Annoy the managers until they get rid of this shit

There are only 7 tenets

That's terrifying

Early reports suggest it was caused by a loose chain dragging on the ground and throwing sparks behind a horse trailer. But the cause is still under investigation.

This needs a love checkbox. Because, seriously, I love Pike's hair, and I really need a place to complain about it.

I have no clue how the original Mad Max made it out of Australia, let alone spawn a minor cinematic universe...

I'm glad there haven't been any pervs saying cheese pizza...

I really hope the people below this are just naive, and not actually pedophiles

Not everyone sees every news story as it happens...

Why would it increase your energy bill?

That's part of many people's learning process. Meant of us, including me, have been there. Luckily, my last Windows computer was about 10 years ago. Good luck

While your comment is dismissive and arrogant, you make a good point (even if it's not the point you intended).

The metrics we use the show the health of our economy do not reflect the economic circumstances of the average citizen, and that's a real problem.

I'm on Windows...that's one variable I can't change.

🤔

For example, http://xkcdsw.com is an archive of fan-edited comics, while https://xkcdsw.com is some kind of crypto site.

That's not how URLs work. If that's the behavior you're experiencing, you likely have been the victim of malware/a virus.

The first part of the URL is the scheme, which indicates the protocol that the browser must use to request the resource (a protocol is a set method for exchanging or transferring data around a computer network). Usually for websites the protocol is HTTPS or HTTP (its unsecured version). Addressing web pages requires one of these two, but browsers also know how to handle other schemes such as mailto: (to open a mail client), so don't be surprised if you see other protocols.

The Navier Stokes equations represent the universal laws of physics that can model any fluid in the universe.

These equations have been around since almost two centuries now but we still understand very little about them. When we have a set of equations we expect the following to happen-

1. Solution should exist- One should be able to solve the equations
2. Solution should be unique- Given particular initial conditions, one should obtain an unique solution to the problem. For example if you and your friend pour water into a container in an identical way, keeping all parameters (pouring velocity, direction, geometry and dimensions of the container, etc) identical then you both should get the same flow pattern. Water in both the containers should behave in exactly the same way. If your friend gets air bubbles at a point then you should get them at the exact same point as well.
3. Solution should be smooth- A finite change in the input should produce a finite change in the output. It should not be erratic and unpredictable.

Unfortunately, Navier Stokes equations do not satisfy any of the conditions mentioned above.

I can eat a habanero without noticing the spice. Should I just stop trying to enjoy spicy food?
