    In Minnesota, there is a pothole season too.

    Plenty of time here too, although I'd venture to say someone taking in the whole Thread might take a bit more time than just the posts here.

    It is easy to get sidetracked into other threads which spawned some of these cooler comments.

    Or into calculating the velocity of the famed European Swallow, or terminal velocity of some of Jeff's weapons cache.

    I can see a day when PASS has a Thread Jeopardy Contest.

    Quote and who said it first, or fill in the missing word.

    Yeah, we have the same season in Michigan. As for the European Swallow, you know it's a question of weight ratios when you consider the weight of a coconut. Jeff's pork chops are highly variant, depending on model. Finally, this is what some of us consider a water cooler, no matter that's being served. 😛

    A classic Fluid dynamics problem, can you post a proper DDL? Simple things like Coconut Spin Rate, Spin direction to Trajectory Angle, Pork Chop Glazing, Pork Chop Exit Angle (not the ones landing on the moon though). We need some more information to be able to help you out here................\o/...........

    The coconut would be spinning when carried by a swallow, no matter if it's African or European. I don't know if the swallow would be flying near the equator or not.

    Since pork chops are typically glazed in the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning the glaze itself, the pork chops wouldn't have any glaze because they're raw when launched by one of Jeff's high-velocity launchers. Being frozen is a completely different story, so we'll need to calculate for both scenarios. The angle depends on the specific model of launcher used and whether or not it's tethered to the user's belt.

    My DBCC Timewarp has malfunctioned and Koen cracked the crystal ball (after getting it from Lynn, who got it from Grant), so you'll have to take your best guess at the DDL.

    Quick question, As a centrally condensed coconut rotates, the pressure gradient in the gas emitted by the carrier swallow causes it to rotate more slowly than the free orbital velocity, and drag forces cause the orbits of solid bodies to decay. Would that be a performance problem?

    😎

    BTW: An workaround would be inducing high enough spin rate, see the illustration

    Edit: Spelled it out 😛
