Oh damn. Heading to Amazon...

Cornbread in all it's glorious variations...

Yep, all they gotta do is well, very little.

Gotta wonder why they're saying this now? What's the agenda?

Weight is determined by gravity, which is determined by the mass of the objects.

Regardless of gravity, objects still retain their mass, so you wouldn't be able to move anything that massive.

Moving an object requires force, the amount of force required is related to the object's mass and current velocity (momentum). Even sitting still you'd have to accelerate the mass from zero.

I forget the acceleration formulas, physics was a few decades ago. F=M*A?

I'm sure it would be the same as it currently does.

Well if you're convicted... You're not a victim, you're a perpetrator.

The hyperbole here is off the charts. Can you be any more disingenuous?

I still don't get it

The ribbon is one thing, the flat design and obfuscating tools/settings are a far bigger issue.

Flat design may be less distracting to you but that also means it's less clear, because there are fewer obvious demarcation.

I despise flat design, it's downright awful design, and done for looks rather than functionality.

Even saying it's "less distractive" supports this.

Microsoft also did this to obfuscate features, which is pretty apparent when you consider new users used to "discover" features via the menu system. I supported Office for MS in the early days, and this was a huge thing at the time. It was discussed heavily when training on new versions.

It's hell on ram for Android, unfortunately.

Still, looks very promising

But why?

See, I was taught this, but no one could every answer why sine and cosine worked the way they did.

This definition just explains how they work with triangles. What's the actual definition of each, and how was that derived? I can apply them all day long yet I still can't tell you what either one means.

I had the same issues with different kinds of equations, no one ever explained why you'd do a certain thing in a given step (e.g. Quadratic) even when I asked, repeatedly. The answer was always "you just do". Well that doesn't help with knowing when to apply a rule.

And that was my experience with any math, right through college (3 universities). Most teachers suck, but holy shit math teachers are down right moronic. They can't understand why students don't get it. Well, try actually teaching something for a fucking change.

Except social media is a bane for kids, even moreso than for adults.

It's a shit show.
