True. You can shoot lasers and such through a lot of things, but I am trying to describe a phenomenon in relatively simple language without getting too bogged down in the technical details. The question was about flowing liquids, so I assumed it was understood that that was what I was talking about.

Sound is transferred through a medium literally as a wave. When you get right down to the core of it, the wave requires movement within the medium to transmit.

So it might help to conceptualize it not as "Liquid cannot move faster than the speed of sound in it's medium" but more like "The speed of sound in a liquid medium is defined by the speed at which energy can propagate in that system, which includes motion."

My problem is I LOVE cars. I didn’t realize this was c/fuckcars when I posted. Woops.

Honestly, you are still in the right community.

Making sure that there are plenty of public transit options, and making it so that a car is not the only possible form of transportation helps get people who don't want to be a part of traffic out of traffic.

People who love to drive should really be the ones most loudly pushing for the end of car-dependency.

Is there a specific element or specific songs that seem to stick better than others? Or are you just looking for general electronic trip hop artists?

Sneaker Pimps might fit the bill?

In Japan they have rail lines that seamlessly integrate with the metro system of large cities.

And even if cars for rural users is necessary, their driving experience will be much smoother if all the other people have good access to transit.

If I ride the disney cruise line am I a sailor?

If we allow space tourists to count as astronauts then it diminishes the actual heroes like Gagarin, Shepard, Tereshkova, Armstrong, or Sally Ride.

Plus. I really don't want to have to call Branson or Bezos astronauts.

Revoking citizenship is a bad president.

He's actively aiding and abbeding the government of a hostile foreign nation that has vocally demanded we scede our sovereignty and surrender our territory to them.

He should be charged with treason.

I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but I seem to recall them describing the snitch as 'basically invisible' and the players flying under the bleachers and into the stratosphere in pursuit of it. Those might be exceptions, maybe the frog only sometimes wanders out into the parking lot.

It's worse than that though. The parking lot frog adds a huge, but not impossible, score to your team if you catch it AND it instantly ends the game.

So even if one team is absolutely crushing the other, it's not actually going to even things out unless it is in a very specific range of uneven matches.

Being so overwhelmingly outclassed makes a neat sort of metagame about preventing the parking lot frog from being caught. Though the frog is apparently hard enough to catch even once that defending it is sort of besides the point. Even if the frog hunt suddenly has a second dynamic, it's still taking place pretty much completely outside of the view of the audience.

It should also be noted that you are not required to swear on the internet.
