  1. Probably best to say "everything being equal".
  2. Just a guess. Could it be that the striking leg, being free to vibrate, keeps more of the energy that it's trying to apply to the anchored leg. Basically, I'm saying the kicking leg does a whipping action around the opponents leg and bends, with the foot acting as a weight on the end. The power really is in the swinging foot but the contact is higher up in a weaker spot, besides being illegal. If you get a stick with a metal ball on the end and whack a pole, with the ball making contact with the pole, the pole will break but get closer, such that the stick makes contact instead, the stick will break because the stick is not strong enough to stop the ball which wants to carry on.
  3. Of course, I forgot that. Have you seen Sean Carroll's lecture "Particles, fields and the future of physics"?. It's good primer. Basically, there are no particles, only fields.
  4. It's annoying when that happens... like a ghost drifting in and out of visibility.
  5. Does this mean that when the universe was super hot there was no gravity?
  6. They emerged together, so they must be mathematically entwined somehow.
  7. In the real world, women give it as good as they get. I think it's only a rarified, cloistered few that would be upset to any great extent.
  8. Westerner:: 魚のスープ、してください Japanese waiter: Very good, Sir.
  9. I hope you aren't mentally skipping over Markus's post... he knows what he's talking about.
  10. Yes, we apply it to anyone guilty of atrocious behaviour or if I hit my finger with a hammer or make a stupid mistake.
  11. Right. Cool. Yes, they are very good value and I think that they will probably make your grinding stones obsolete in that size. You can get them in 10mm diameter or 12mm and the shank is 6mm. I think they do a 3mm shank set as well for Dremels.
  12. If you've got the tool then you might as well get the accessories. If you haven't got them then you aren't likely to use it. Whatever tool I buy, I buy the bits I think i might need in anticipation. When you need something you need it right now. Preparation, my dear Watson. And it's fun window shopping, learning about stuff in the process. Chinese stuff won't be cheap to us forever... they'll be in parity with us eventually, like Japan did.
  13. Yes, I know this is a purely speculative idea anyway and beyond me anyway... I'll stick with the postulates of relativity. Maybe mordred might know.
  14. Somewhere in Reuters there's an article that Europe is aiming tariffs on goods from Republican-controlled areas, hoping to hurt their election chances. This seems a reasonable strategy.
  15. It's fabulous. The machining is super of this manufacturer. I think Chinese labour costs are about fifth of the west. I can't attest to the longevity yet but one of many positive reviews I read said they were "tough little buggers".
  16. How would the 'old' photons know how to change, which are zipping merrily along through the aeons; where would the instructions come from to change velocity?
  17. I'm saying, or pondering, that if the velocity was 1% less then, those photons would be 1% less now.
  18. If the photons velocity was different eons ago, those same photons would still have the same velocity if they were measured now, would they not?
  19. Frequency is the number of wave oscillations in a second.
  20. I probably shan't buy any more stone ones; the WC ones give a fine enough smooth finish on wood and imagine they will on metal. I've got twisted knot wire brushes for rust... brutal they are.
  21. But most do, unfortunately, if you look globally.
  22. I'm getting this 8 piece next for the extra bits: https://www.banggood.com/8pcs-14-Inch-Shank-Carbide-Burr-Set-Rotary-Cutter-Files-CNC-Engraving-Tool-p-1057711.html?stayold=1&cur_warehouse=CN I've got some single cut ones coming as well. What are they best suited for? UK made ones are $20-$60 dollars each and don't seem to come in sets. What's the most durable stone ones? Do you know what pink ones are? I got them with the die grinder.
  23. Thanks. I''ll look into them.
  24. Right. The ones I've got seem to be WC. The manufacturer Drillpro (Chinese) says you can work on materials up to 70RC. I got these: http://www.drillpro.company/Drillpro-5x-Tungsten-Carbide-Rotary-Drill-Bit-Point-Burr-Grinder-Cutter-12mmx6mm-p-89.html
  25. I think BASIC is higher than all those.
