re: Definitely on the tougher side of the bracket if LSU does make it to Omaha

UK/USC Pitching Depth (with stats)
Posted by UpToPar on 5/24/24 at 4:08 pm
Here's a look at what USC and UK have left. I've included any pitcher on their roster that has > 5IP on the season as well as how many pitches they've thrown so far in the tournament.
UK:

re: Feeling a Hurd 2023 CWS vib for UK

[quote]Hurd has done a complete disappearing act this year. Just about every LSU fan expected a HUGE year for him, a dominant Friday night SEC starter type year & instead he’s just completely “shite the bed” the entire season. I think CJJ is done with Hurd as a starter (this year). At this point it...

re: Legislature unanimously approves state ban on nitrous oxide

According to the Oxford Treatment Center, there were 29 fatalities associated with nitrous oxide abuse in 2016. Doesn't the legislature have better shite to concern themselves with?

What about the way our catchers give the target, then they drop their mitt to the ground, and then bring it back up fast to catch the ball?
What is the purpose of doing that?[/quote]

If there's no friction at all in the hypothetical (not just with respect to the wheels) then the plane cannot take off because friction is what causes the pressure differential on the wings to create lift....
re: Can this 747 take off?
Posted by UpToPar on 4/11/24 at 3:18 pm
Correct, which is why the hypothetical is broken. An instantaneous feedback loop like contemplated in the hypothetical is never triggered because the only way the conveyor belt moves is if the wheels move, but the wheels can't move because it means the wheels exceeded the speed of the conveyor belt....

RPMs is a really bad way to measure wheel speed and the speed of the conveyor belt here. The conveyor belt obviously has a much larger diameter than the wheels, so even if they are traveling at the same RPM (assuming it's not 0) the speed of the conve...
