What's with the hangup on boobs?

I know, I'm rambling again

also of dogs which I will turn around and chase back into their yard.
I haven't bitten a dog yet, but I haven't caught one yet either.

I now know I will never be the dumbest asshole on the planet.

My objective is to get the hell away from people and their opinions.

That logic even an idiot like you should be able to figure out.

I trolled on the tricycle, the near 200 on the motorcycle was NOT made
up, I just didn't get caught and clocked at that speed, whatever it
may have actually been. Definitely over 170, a lot over.

I can do 160 MPH on my bike. How? Sky dive with it and try to land on
the wheels.

This group is misc. and I intend to stay misc and not try to corrupt
the thinking of small minds.

My memory goes back farther than yours

It really isn't all about me

This group tends to be of the pseudo intellectual sort so I won't go
into anything too deep here.

You people never do listen to what I am saying, do you?

My bike weighs about 50lbs

the tricycle which was the main troll could not have actually done
over 20.

You guys need someone to pick on, and I am not a troll, so...

I go where there are no stores, or supples, or even phone service.

Don't try to get me started on that again.

You can say stupid but I bet I will be alive to piss on your grave.

Before you ASSume I am blowing bullshit try riding the same road.

Get off your stupid ass and ride it then.

I don't have to justify myself to one who knows nothing of the
excitement of going very, very fast.

When was the last time you had to bail onto the sidewalk because a
harvesting machine came by overhanging 'both' sides of the road

They were fucking walking!!!!

Jesus H. Christ, my reaction times are better than many half my age.

Your city boy views don't matter squat to me.

I don't give a damn if I live to 150 or go tomorrow, as long as I
enjoy myself and get to irritate petty snobs

I was going to buy a new plane for about $30,000 but my wife went on
the test flight and almost fainted when she found out it was me flying
and not the salesman.

Chemistry was one of my minors in college, after electronics, math,
and physics.

Why do cows want to race me?

He has come out against stem cell research, abortion rights, and gay
marriage because the Pope told him to

I am not going to do the history lesson that you obviously missed.

Sorry, I have better things to do than educate the challenged.

I drive people at work nuts too.

Need I say more?

I am not trying to be a public asshole

it is NOT a safe road to bike on, regardless of any opinions.

I should ride more and type less,

Touchy group.

You may not have to killfile me, I may just go away, since this group
is a little too touchy.

The first 3 idiots, err assholes.

Idiot/asshole number 4.

Why in the hell am I posting to this thread???

Sorry, my style is not mainstream, in much of anything.

Strictly on topic would be boring compared to some of the random sub
threads that get started.

GW is trying to impose elections and Christianity upon Iraq

Fucking nit picking. So a liter or Kilogram is 2.2 pounds, big assed
deal. I could have given it to you in thirty decimal places but some
of you guys are such fanatics you would be worrying about the last
picogram. You guys are hopeless.

I post at random and do sometimes over post when I am really bored.

I can start a fight in an empty room

also did that at 3:30 in the morning, typing between bed, taking a
leak, and back to bed.

All in all it is a pretty good guess that I have been riding since
well before you
were even born

Under Bush, given the chance, we won't need to since we will all have
subcutaneous implants.

500 grams is only 1 pound, so 250 is only a quarter pound,

I spent the weekend in jail for a 12 year old parking ticket that I
did not get.

Riding a bicycle with a camera and binoculars and somebody cell phoned
me in as a potential terrorist.

Had you been in my Mustang or (if you dared) the back of my hot rod
motorcycle you would A. believe me. B. never get on a bike with me
again.

did roll a car at 85 and spent 6 months in the hospital in 1970 and
endoed a bike at near 80 with no broken bones but plenty of road rash

If all idiots had my IQ it would be a strange world but I would have
someone to talk to.

I am not a doctor but I do know some things about how the police
organization works.

I only post to keep things from getting too stuffy on this group, and
there seem to be a lot of people with way too high an opinion of
themselves.

Sometimes I do post to annoy those certain individuals, but mostly I
try to stay semi on topic.

My last 2 engineering work reviews described me as intimidating to the
other engineers.

Kind of strange getting laid off when I was designing electronics for
military use.

The police are NOT your friends

If being a sheep and following the flock get respect then I don't want
it.

I could write in Scholarly English, err, American, but it does not
serve my purpose.

I took one of those on line IQ tests and did a cut and paste of it
here so I am expecting a boat load of negative feedback.

if you think my anecdotes are just plain ridiculous, good for you.

I was a nutcase as a kid

I have done things that I wouldn't presume to post on here since most
readers would not believe me anyway

I used to catch rattlesnakes by their tails

I get to places you might only see in a Discovery channel special

something tells me that even if I put the pictures on my site and post
a link you would think that I got the pictures from someone else.

When you do tell the truth, nobody believes you.

I can post pictures from the top of both the waterfall and the
electrical tower but not of a pegged 160+ speedometer on a motorcycle.

1. A sugar cube will balance on a soccer ball, but a
sugar cube will not balance on a dried pea. What is the
radius of the sphere (in terms of the edge length of
the sugar cube) where the sugar cube is in neutral

2. A gram of water is super-cooled to -40 C. It
spontaneously undergoes a phase change to a mixture of

only to the extent that it related to the second item in the previous

Enough to pass the tests with high enough marks to impress the girls.
I took home economics in 8th grade.
I took bookkeeping in 9th grade.
I took typing as a Senior.
Why?
That's where the girls were.
Sheesh.

No, it is not.
Sure, you have to look up the properties of water.
Not too difficult, even if it is not in a book
on your shelf.

yes it is. you think 10% solid is the same /_\S as 90% solid?

unless you want an algebraic answer, you need proportions.

Water supercooled to -40 C is a fully determined configuration.
(assuming it is at 1 atomosphere and insulated from the
environment, and why not?)

It undergoes a spontaneous phase change to solid water and liquid
water. The proportion is determined by the initial conditions.

Since you are taking the high and mighty approach to this, is it
electrically conductive? If you said yes then all bets are off.
Pure water is an insulator, not a conductor.
I guess you could have said analytical quality water with < 1 PPB of
impurities.

it's not "determined", it's subject to a number of preconditions, not
least of which is the means to contain and cool without triggering
nucleation.

see above. you need proportion of solid to determine /_\S, your
original question.

Liquid water at -40 C, 1 atmosphere is fully determined.
With this and the known properties of water, the ratio
of liquid to solid water after the phase change can be
calculated.

I posted these problems for fun, thinking some would
enjoy thinking about them. Did not intend to do much
else, or post solutions. But here goes.

Latent heat of fusion for water = h = 3.34x10^5 J/kg.
Specific heat of water = k = 4.200x10^3 J/(kg.K).

Denote by T_0 the initial temperature, -40 C in our case.
Some fracttion, f, of the super-cooled water will freeze.
0 <= f <= 1.
As it freezes it releases heat,
raising the temperature of the water-ice mixture.
It eventually equilibratetes at some temperature T_1.
If there is some liquid water, then T_1 = 0 C.
Otherwise T_0 <= T_1 <= 0 C.
Denote by m the mass of water.

m.f.h = (T_1 - T_0).m.k
so
f = (T_1 - T_0).k/h
= (T_1 - T_0).k/h
= (T_1 - T_0) x 0.0126

When T_1 - T_0 = 40 K, then f = 0.503.

thanks michael. i haven't looked at that stuff in decades - it's fun!

what's the entropy? i vaguely remember the second law but am too rusty
to apply it.

Consider the following reversible process.
* Raise the temperature of the supercooled water to 0 C.
The amount of heat added is (T_1 - T_0).m.k
* Remove heat from the 0 C water as ice forms until fm ice is formed.
The amount of heat added is -m.f.h = -(T_1 - T_0).m.k

The entropy change for the first stage of this process is
int_{T_0}^{T_1} m.k dT/T = m.k.log(T_1/T_0)

The entropy change for the second stage of this process is
-(T_1 - T_0).m.k/T_1

The total entropy change is
/_\S = m.k(log(T_1/T_0) - (T_1 - T_0)/T_1)
= m.k(log(273/233) - 40/273)
= 0.011913 m.k
= 0.011913 . 0.001 kg . 4200 J/(kg.K)
= 0.05004 J/K

Entropy is the habit of a (every) newsgroup to degenerate into a state
of inert posts that have nothing to do with the original purpose.

You made it a bit of a trick question by saying flash 'freezing' to -40
and not mentioning a liquid state at -40. The release of heat at the
freezing point is what causes the plateau effect at both the freezing
point and the boiling point with a constant energy input or output.
The trick would be to have all the water in a liquid state at -40 and
watch the released heat from the phase change to solid release heat back
up to 0C. I missed that point so there is the ambiguity problem with
data not being totally provided.

My bad.
Analytic water with less than 1 PPB may not freeze without a 'seed'.

Super cooled water. Water freezes at 0 C.
But if it is prepared with very little impurities and
kept still, then it can be cooled below 0 C and
remain liquid. Dropping in a speck
of material will form a nucleus for crystallization of ice.
That is all.

Be sure to give the phase of the moon and the alignment of the planets,

This is somewhat amusing but not enough to actually look up the calories

If so, then Baka should be the one to figure out that it's not. In
fact, I wonder if the OP asked the question in this way for that
specific reason.

OK,
The amount of heat required to change a standard weight from solid, to
liquid, to vapor, with water being among the highest naturally occurring
compound.
Also if it's flash frozen to -40C/F crossover point, it should all be
solid, unless a certain amount remains super-cooled but not frozen.
There would also be a noticeable lack of crystalline spurs, since sperm
can be frozen and revived but not a whole body since the heat doesn't
'flash' out.
Wrong group, and the math could get a bit much, some of which I hated 40
years ago.

Not flash frozen; rather super-cooled water.
Question is what is the change in entropy upon
phase change from super-cooled water
to ice and liquid water mixture.

If it's all at -40 and stays that way the entropy is temperature
dependent. If it figures out that it should be frozen then the state
change should pop the ice up to a higher temperature but with the same
overall entropy.
Super heated water is where I have a problem with my microwave.
Hot dogs sometimes get to way more than the boiling point in a microwave
and then explode 5 or ten seconds after being taken out.
Fun with physics.

I was having fun watching you guys.
Here's one answer.
Deflate the Soccer ball and anything will balance on it.
The pea aside from being too small is also very hard surfaced and will
roll very easily.
Even if you could balance the Sugar, depending on the humidity it
absorbed on one side or the other, the balance would change and topple
the works. Or a light breath.
That was my comic answer.
As you were.

You cannot answer seriously. Say that you
do not know how to approach these questions.
I double-dog dare you.

Bonus question, mathematics section.

What is the order of the group of units modulo 315,
that is

It would get me in the news. "Man bites dog.". Chasing an aggressive dog

2 years ago on a public road near Beale AFB. Got a free ride home in the
front seat of a Sheriff's car. Nice guy, but the FBI guy and Homeland
Security guy were both jerks, 6'4" jerks.

Killed my bike on the Fourth of July, 1976, bicentennial. Probably the
better outcome than the Hell's Angels re-enactment in Hollister we had
planned after 2 cases of beer.

I have the pictures to prove it, and no, I did not try to photograph my
speedometer. I'm a daredevil, not stupid.

Sorry about all this, but I can't reach around the globe and just erase
the problem poster, Brickston.
Apologies to all for his taking up space and bandwidth.
I would post some friends e-mail addresses that have been with me on
some of these but I won't do that to my friends.
Let Brickstone have his petty fun, then killfile him.
I did not come here for this.

I would but I am using Mozilla Thunderbird. I can kill him in the e-mail
but not in the newsgroups. He does kind of motivate me to maybe write a
filter module for the news part of the program.
Maybe when I have time.
