I have family in Tofino and they do have tsunami warning systems. There are sirens, and there also are signs along roads to show the most effective evacuation routes. I noticed it when I visited them a few years ago.

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for? http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/

Guys, this was solved a while ago. Sorry to kill the fun. http://www.westerngazette.ca/2014/04/07/weldon-coded-notes-mystery-solved/

Bop in Alternis Kerbol is only a few kilometers across, and the mountains are gigantic. No matter where you land it's spectacular.

I'm so conflicted right now. I really want to use this mod, but it seems to be incompatible with Alternis Kerbol, and that's where my current career save is.

Ah, I understand where the confusion came from. In the lesson on circular motion we never distinguished between average and instantaneous acceleration. We only did three problems where we found the circular acceleration, and they all used the formula I tried. He even specifically said that for these questions we would only need the magnitude. When I saw the question, I saw circular motion and a magnitude-only response, and assumed it was the stuff we did in class. Thanks for the help.

I have a question regarding acceleration in circular motion that I was hoping someone on this forum might be able to help with. I had a physics test in which I did unusually poorly, and I am unsure why. The teacher posted the solution to the question online, but it left me unclear as to what his intent was. The question was as follows: A traditional watch hand has a second hand 1.45 cm long from centre to tip. What is the magnitude of the average acceleration between 30 s and 50 s? In class, we had only briefly covered circular motion, but I remembered the equation we'd used: Since the motion of the hand is constant the acceleration should be constant as well. To be safe, I tried the equation twice, once over the 20 s interval and 1/3 the circumference, and once over the whole 60 s. Both times I got an answer of 1.6*10^-4 m/s^2. However, when I received the marked test back, I had been given 1.5/8 with the note "not reasonable". I know I lost 1/2 a mark on my diagram; I'll admit it was a lousy one. The other mark I did get was for my final answer, since, while different, it complied with notation and significant digits. Several days later he posted his solution on his website: What was wrong with my method? Every circular question we'd done previously had worked with the equation I used. I considered that perhaps my solution was for instantaneous acceleration rather than average, but for an object with constant speed shouldn't those two be identical? Can anyone see where I went wrong?

Holy cow, there's 18 now? When I last heard about them they'd only found 3. I'm planning on going to this university next year, do you think if I crack these notes I'll get a scholarship?

I had a pretty lousy programming teacher once. The entire course was a series of online tutorials that he'd found (not made) so I watched them all without doing any of the practise, then did the final project. This was entirely in the first quarter of the semester. I played Skyrim on my laptop every day in that class for three quarters of the semester. I got 98% and an award. The teacher never learned which student I was, he only knew my name from the hand-in folder on the computer. On my report card he heavily praised my work ethic. Regarding what SkyHook said last page, yes I most certainly did have a poor attitude in that class. But only because the teacher sucked.

Science.

You don't measure the orbit of the object in question, but rather the orbit of the other body around it. Even with the mass difference of an exoplanet orbiting a star, the planet's mass causes the star to move a detectable amount. The petunias are so small that their effect on the sun is negligible, and we wouldn't be able to even detect them. Jupiter, on the other hand, does have a noticeable impact. The barycentre of the system is just above the sun's surface; i.e. the Sun and Jupiter both orbit a point very close but just outside the sun. This motion is detectable. Since we know the period and the radius of the sun's movement, we can calculate the mass and distance of the other object.

I figured that since nobody was submitting anything to the unmanned category, I'd toss something together quickly. Yes, there is some mod stuff visible, but none of them would do anything to affect performance. The craft itself is stock.

I see several people talking about how unpleasant their religion classes were. Why were you still in that school system instead of the public one? Parental pressure? Or was that the public one somehow, and if so, what country would do that? Anyway, my worst teacher. Up until grade seven, I was quite fond of French classes. I enjoyed, and still enjoy, learning other languages (French is tragically the only one I've been able to study in school). However, partway through the year, the French teacher just didn't come into class. We all sat there, gradually getting more and more chaotic, until the bell rang and we left. The next day, the teacher once again failed to show up. On the third day, a teacher I didn't recognise came into the classroom looking very serious. It turned out the French teacher had been arrested for sexually assaulting a student from another class. I never met the student, so I don't know how she dealt with it. Nobody else in the school was qualified to teach French, so the class was cancelled for the rest of the year. The "replacement" for grade eight wasn't really able to teach French either, so we all had a lot of difficulty when we started high school. The high school's teacher, while fortunately not a criminal, was only somewhat better than the other teachers in this thread. She spent three weeks teaching us how to use Powerpoint, without using a word of French. She didn't know how to use Powerpoint. She taught nothing, instead making us do the same project over and over. As in, the same topic and the same criteria in the same format. At least four times. There was only one project not to follow this: an essay about teenagers. She only accepted topics complaining that our generation was far worse than hers. I had her class the next year, and dropped it the first day. So, yeah. A paedophile teacher got French class cancelled for a year and a half. The next real teacher was awful. French has been ruined for me. And, of course, I've had the standard Marxist social studies* teachers who cater to the stoners. I was once legitimately praised for being able to read from the Charter of Rights ("That's third-year law school [crap]!"). Of course, everyone's had one or two teachers like that; they were nothing on my French teachers. *The main thing they taught me was not to dignify the fields with the term "science."

You spoiled youngsters with your "wheels." I remember back before we even had landing legs! If you really needed gear because you didn't want to land on your engine bell, you used fins. Want to know how we got around on the Mun's surface? We didn't! We stayed in one spot, and we liked it there! And then you went home, because there was nowhere else to go, and only one ship could exist at a time.

The desolate loneliness of a munar night.

I was doing a Minmus landing in Alternis Kerbol, deploying a rover to trek across biomes. Now, one of the changes in Alternis Kerbol is that darkness is DARK. The lander wasn't equipped with lights; I was landing on the day side, so I didn't need them. But just after touchdown, without warning, the lights go out. There is no sun. There is no ambient glow. I have no lights. Everything just goes out. The sun should have been high in the sky. The solar panels, when I right-clicked them, still showed they were generating power. But the only source of illumination was the soft glow from my ladder, and the flashlights during the transfer to the lab. This was probably the creepiest glitch I've ever had in any game. Bill's reaction isn't helping either.

Depends on company, of course. There are some people (most people) around whom I would never even think about swearing. Alone at my computer, and with my closer friends, I can be extremely vulgar. With yet other groups, I swear very infrequently, which dramatically increases the effect. On the Internet, I virtually never swear, though I violently curse at my computer with great frequency. Text communication over the Internet is far too unemotional for such things not to feel silly.

I decided to load up the oldest version on KSP I kept: 0.13. I started just before 0.13 released but I didn't think to keep 0.12. Figured I'd run a Mun mission.

The C-17 is just an all-around cool aircraft. I once had the chance to take a ride in the back of one during a training flight. They opened up the ramp mid-air and everything. It may be a great big cargo plane, but it's more manoeuvrable than it looks. It was surprised to see the pilots have a HUD, I didn't expect those in transports. And on the note of STOL, it's also pretty cool to see them land on a 6000' runway, back up, and take off again without even turning around. I saw them all the time when I was learning to fly; I actually had to delay a couple flights because they were training in the area. I remember during one early flight my instructor had just been discussing traffic checks when a C-17 passed about a thousand feet above us.

I have a feeling that if there is one thing I should NOT be doing, it's taunting this guy. I still planted a flag in his face though.

What's AO1? I've not seen that code before. I'm in the same polar vortex boat, unfortunately. I've had stuff like this for weeks: SPECI CYXU 271817Z 28012G18KT 3/4SM R15/5000VP6000FT/U -SHSN DRSN OVC016 M14/M17 A2994 RMK BLSN3CU5 OCNL BLSN SLP155=

Since I'd never heard of it, I Googled this thing to see what came up. Everything was a conspiracy theory or UFO site; nothing seemed at all reputable. The pictures look like debris. I agree with Canopus. I think this falls under the conspiracy theory rule. For goodness' sake, the second highest site when searching for the thing is "Above Top Secret" and quotes Nostradamus.

There's also a bit not far west from the KSC, but I doubt that's intentional...
