  1. Yeah but.... The corking makes the bat softer, so some of that K is lost due to the higher elasticity of the corked bat. But you are correct, which is what I was trying to say earlier in the thread when @jimmyjazz corrected (?) me.
  2. Meat judging. Try and keep up people.
  3. well physics/engineering = magic for some. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the entire purpose of corking a bat to make it lighter, thus easier to swing, thus increasing swing speed? The trade off with corking is the lighter the bat, the less speed the ball has after impact. Sounds like these bats give the advantage of increasing swing speed without the loss of actual mass.
  4. right.. Krot is dependent on moment of inertia, not mass. Its been a while. 8th grade fail.
  5. "Fuck" is very versatile. I would argue that only "shit" is more versatile.
  6. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/44477141/mlb-2025-torpedo-bowling-pin-bats-new-york-yankees-taking-baseball From a purely physics standpoint, this is pretty interesting. Hitters gonna love it, pitchers gonna hate it. Article does a shitty job of explaining the science. My best attempt at an 8th grade explanation: Assuming the mass and length of the bat aren't changed, moving mass closer to the handle makes the bat easier to swing, (meaning you can swing the bat with a higher velocity). Which has two effects: 1. You can get the bat around quicker, making it easier to hit fastballs. 2. Bat hits the ball with more kinetic energy (bat has same mass, but more rotational velocity), resulting in the ball leaving the bat with a greater speed (which means more homeruns). I think this has the potential to change the game significantly.
  7. More like fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down, amirite?
  8. I don't think it was one of those "you catch it we cook it" deals.
  9. If you are that hung up on kids running wild, start a thread bro. Then it wasn't a service animal. It was a fake service animal, bigger epidemic than fake cancer. You joke but.. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/10/20/pets-allowed https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/10/20/pets-allowed This writer got away with taking a turtle to fancy restaurant, a llama into a bodega, and a pig on a plane. All by claiming they were "support animals" by getting a bullshit certificate from some shady online "psychologists".
  10. We have a pool and a pond. Pond would be better for you.
  11. My God, AI might save us all. Did not see that one coming, simulation.
  12. Can I pay in installments?
  13. Anti-shark cage? You go inside the cage? Cage goes in the water? You go in the water? Sharks in the water? Our shark? Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies... Do you even chemistry bro?
  14. Back in grad school, I was collaborating with a post doc at a&m and had to drive to their campus in a UT vehicle. One of those white trucks with orange UT decals on it that you see all over campus. As I drove through their campus, I got whooped at, horns down-ed, or gigged hundreds of times. A post doc fresh off the boat from India was with me. He was like what is going on? I just shrugged and said I can't explain it and you wouldn't understand anyway, best you can do is sit back and laugh at them.
  15. IF I were on texags I would respond: Lol not reading all that. Happy for you though, or sorry that happened.
  16. Don't those two words mean the same thing in chinese?
  17. Whenever the leaf blower was invented was the beginning of the dismal tide.
  18. I wonder if the slaves considered themselves friends with Elmo.
  19. You need the geese police: https://geesepoliceinc.com/
  20. I don't browse Horned Frog Blitz, but I hope that guy might feel more at home on Texags.
  21. The sugar in girl scout cookies has killed a lot more people than the heavy metals in girl scout cookies.
