When I make it for others (you know, the deviants who eat Marmite) I end up massacring the bread. Crunchy peanut butter isn’t any better. Never, ever try to spread actual butter on bread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Because scrotes are always talking to their phone on speakerphone and gawping at the screen whilst blaring (inevitably shit) music. For normal people the phone is in the pocket or on the desk, locked and headphones connected so we don't pollute the airspace for everyone else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 People (read "Women") who walk around talking to people on speakerphone with the phone held up to their face. Why not make the effort to lift your phone an extra couple of inches and speak like a normal person! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are too many things I just don't get, most of which would make me look like the biggest weirdo ever so I probably shouldn't share... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marg26 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 It's been a long time since I read about the treadmill/plane thing, but flight of a plane is all about speed the wings move through the air nothing to do with the speed that the tread mill would push it's wheels round unless the treadmill is pulling air along with it. I CBA to look. Just tell me if I'm one of those people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planes are powered by either a jet or a propeller so if that engine is working and going at take off speed then there must be some kind of air flow going towards the plane. How fast the wheels are going doesn't matter planes don't even need wheels. As long as there's enough airflow going over the wings it will take off.

How fast the wheels are going doesn't matter planes don't even need wheels. As long as there's enough airflow going over the wings it will take off. Exactly. The issue people have is they try to quantify it via something like a car or a person on a treadmill. The difference (among many) is that those are driven by the wheels / legs that are directly on the surface of treadmill. If the speed of the wheels / legs match the speed of the treadmill, it will stay in one place. An aircraft isn't driven forwards by it's wheels; they're like casters, they just stop it scraping it's belly along the ground. An aircraft is moved forwards via thrust; moving air from infront of the plane to behind the plane at speed. The air, unlike a cars wheels or persons legs, is not affected by the movement of the treadmill. The aircraft will continue to move forwards through thrust, with the non-driven wheels just spinning at twice the speed. Eventually the airspeed will be great enough to create enough lift and ergo it takes off. Think of it as running on a treadmill then suddenly someone shoves you from behind; you'll overcome the speed of the treadmill and fall forwards. Your driver (in this case your legs) is directly on the surface of the treadmill but the shove is not (its your thrust), which is why you fall forwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like if you put wings on a car it doesn't turn it into a plane. The car might get the speed to take off but once its in the air it has no propulsion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topsy Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 However, if the treadmill itself is going at takeoff speed and there's a glider on it pointing into the wind... It'd be possible that the glider would stay in the air indefinitely depending on where the treadmill is situated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be possible that the glider would stay in the air indefinitely depending on where the treadmill is situated? I would say nope on that one! (Assuming the glider is tethered to keep it stationary on the treadmill) to entrain enough air to create an oncoming wind on the glider's wings the treadmill would have to start a long way out in front of the glider. Due to the boundary layer forming that distance required to entrain the flow would mean that the glider itself would sit inside that significant boundary layer and so it's wings would never actually see wind at the take off speed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Magnolia house people. Every room is a slightly different shade of pale grey/magnolia, each corner is adorned with Oak warehouse finest, telly mounted to the wall with a piece of driftwood strapped below it to sit some tea lights and reed diffuser on. Seriously, why do so few people have absolutley zero imagination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Feature' wall paper which matches the curtains, lampshades and cushions. Kitchens where the tiling, kettle/toaster and walls all match Hideous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
