  1. So with the button analogy - if you weighed the displacement caused by a 10K gold button and a 24K gold button with identical size and volume measurements, the displaced weight would be different? I can't wrap my noggin around how this would not be identical due to identical volumes.
  2. Very possible the shock stopped his heart, and the impact hitting the ground re-started it.
  3. This doesn't really correlate with the question, because wood floats. Try this comparison: If you suspended a golf ball with a wire fully submerged in the middle of a container of water, and then did the same thing with a piece of lead the exact same volume as the golf ball. They would both sink. I would think they would displace the same amount of water equivalent to their volume, but this principle would suggest that the lead would displace more.
  4. That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't figure out how Archimedes Principle would apply.
  5. Did you buy this as-is, or is this a Frankenstein job? I'm considering a 10/22 takedown, and this one is about dead on what I would like for it to look like.
  6. OK, here is where my public school education fails me. If two objects of identical volume but made from materials of different densities are submerged in water, but both are dense enough to overcome the buoyant force of the water (in other words, they both sink), would the denser of the two displace more water than the less dense object? I need an example to wrap my brain around that one. This thread could quickly devolve into an "explain this to me like I'm five" exercise...
  7. Nesty's allergies acting up makes my allergies act up. One of his Gator boys finally pulling that individual gold in the last chance of the meet. Great stuff.
  8. Love my Mark IV. So easy to shoot accurately.
  9. GTFOH with that "She's a quitter" talk. Vertigo makes walking down a hall difficult. I can't imagine what it would do to a gymnast. You can power through a lot of musculoskeletal issues, as she proved this Olympics. Vertigo is a different animal in this sport.
  10. My bet is PhD, not MD...
  11. Track already creeping west toward Houston. Sorry guys! (Too soon?)
  12. Saw them in Cincinnati last week. Foos delivered as always. Nice to say I've seen the Pretenders in person. Didn't make it in time for Wolfgang. Worth the drive from Nashville.
  13. I made an OF with the regular EC rye for the first time tonight. Quite good. Not earth shattering, but better than a lot of others I have tried.
  14. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken, and then I ate his leg
  15. Exactly how frequently are you watching the Olympics?
  16. I couldn't find the GIF fast enough to beat Diggler. Perfect.
  17. Yeah, this is all kinds of sus. I almost expected the commentators to insinuate in this direction, but they resisted the urge.
  18. Baboon is right x1000. Asheville is hipster, Gatlinburg is touristy. Choose accordingly based on your 12 year old's interests.
  19. Unpopular opinions thread is over there --->
  20. Kind of, yeah. Imagine how Aggie would feel if they came in third in an intelligence contest...
  21. That rugby finish is the moment of the games so far from a US perspective. Bronze that feels like a gold!
  22. Wow. Monster run and steals the bronz!
  23. This does not bode well for our chances at a medal. Winning bronze will feel like winning gold if they do it.
  24. It's awful. Please don't move here like the entire state of California seems to be. We're full.
