Winter 2021 LC Thread—I Want Sous Vide

Maybe this is an oversimplification, but I was hoping to be able to disregard the fictitious forces. If you start at a steady speed equal to the wind speed and get a net (real) acceleration, that’s good enough to show you’ll end up going faster than the wind, right?

From a practical perspective, a lot of aeronautical engineering equations seems to have V_intake terms, so it’s convenient to be able to say that term is zero.

Yeah, it’s reminiscent of the principles of Thai cooking: sweet, spicy, sour, salty, savory. Pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeno pizza checks off those boxes. Not my usual order, but it’s legit.

You can put pickles, ghost peppers and sardines on your PB&J if you want, but at some point you should probably stop pretending it’s a PB&J.

It’s almost like PB&J explicitly names its ingredients while more generic terms like “sandwich” and “pizza” do not?

I do consider not only hot dogs but also tacos and burritos to be sandwiches, however, full disclosure.

It was well understood which ingredients were proper for a pizza for over a hundred years. Only recently have people been muddying the waters with gluten free pesto arugula yak cheese flat breads.

I’m 100% with you, but i’m pretty sure we’ll be surprised if we looked this statement.

I’m not going to let facts ruin a perfectly good pizza fight.

Hawaiian and jalapeno is my go to pizza when possible. Baked salmon pizza is still my white whale of a pizza. Had it one time at a small mom and pop shop and then the owner moved back to Alaska.

The use of the word fictitious is unfortunate. It’s what they’re called (an alternative is pseudo forces but that’s no better). I wouldn’t say the additional forces in non-inertial frames aren’t real except in the sense that they don’t appear in inertial frames.

Since the additional forces are only there because the car accelerates, I suspect they can’t be neglected. I mean you could neglect them if the acceleration is “small” (~zero, and so the car is an inertial frame), but then I don’t think you get anywhere.

If the physicists admit they’re wrong here, I’ll have to let them tell me why. Not that it’s not fun to try to understand what’s going on. To me, the primary thing is the observation, which at the moment says you can go faster than the wind.

Naysayers have to show why it’s wrong or eventually gtfo. Or ignore it and hope it goes away. I just looked this up on one of my favorite places for crazy ideas. The last discussion was eleven years ago. No resolution yet, so I’m not holding my breath.

To think being a pizza purist and tossing out arugula like it hasn’t been on pizza since basically forever.

Back bacon (Canadian) is awesome! I almost always have it in the fridge. It’s delicious.

I just discovered this combination about a month ago and have posted about it everytime I have one as its so gooooooooood.

OK, what if we instead use the wind as a reference frame? The main thing I want is to treat the air as still. Here’s what I end up with:

Me too, but I let that comment slide in the context of pizza. I like peameal bacon sandwiches myself, on a pizza it might get too dry. I think higher fat meats work better on pizza.

I’ve never had it on pizza. I suspect they had ham and just called it Canadian bacon.

Fun fact, until I tried Pepperoni pizza with pineapples last month I’d not eaten a pizza in years :man_facepalming: and basically only ate vegi pizzas as they were the absolute best and went off the pizzas here because of all the meats on them from spicy chicken/beef to donor meats etc.

Like pizza was our go to in the Poker club, easy to order 10 different kinds and serve them out along with those new kebabs in nan bread etc, dam forget there name lol.

Glad I discovered Pizza again after the spicy meats ruined them here :rofl:

It sounds like you’ve never actually had a good slice of pizza.

Correct :+1:

Hard to find in the UK, especially from the chains.

There used to be a very good one in a tiny place round the back of Brixton tube.
