> tangential statement I'm honestly really curious about this. Could you elaborate?
Yes, I can elaborate, however, this information should have been taught to you by the age of 2. Silly HN. A tangent is simply a line that touches a non-linear curve (like a circle) at only a single point. It represents an equation with the relationship between the coordinates “x” and “y” on a two-dimensional graph. The tangential velocity is the measurement of the speed at any point tangent to a rotating wheel in a c…
I never laugh out loud in front of the screen. Especially in public places. Almost never.

As a US poster, I need all units of measure to be what the Founding Fathers used and all pickup trucks to be what the Founding Fathers drove. As an EU poster, I won't understand the US obsession with large vehicles and I will recommend bicycling instead. As a programmer, I think we can improve performance if we multithread, containerise, microservice, and store n-depth JSON in a No-SQL database. As a Python programme…
Unrealistic. Not a single person complained about link not working with JavaScript disabled.
I'm just replying here to piggyback on the top comment and create a pointer to this thread in my CheckRepliesToMyComments page.
