I'm faced with a situation where I need to calculate the force that will be exerted on a pipe due to the passage of a certain fluid through it, as well as the clamping force required to hold the pipe in place, so I thought that knowing how to calculate the friction between the material of the piping and the fluid on the one hand, as well as the clamping material on the other, would allow me to grasp the specifics of the situation.

Why are people called "weirdos" and "druggies" simply for being curious and not afraid to ask interesting or unique questions? I mean, if a question isn't immoral but just different, you have no reason to judge that person. People should be judged for being immoral, not weird.

"Christians are the happiest people on the face of the planet. They have something to look forward to and they can live their life's for a purpose.
Atheists are traditionally the most depressed people on the face of the planet because they believe in nothing so their whole life's are nothing"

I don't know where the hell Avadaman came up with this info, but for people who think like this, open up your eyes. There are more religions in this world than Christianity. And I'm sure they are all happy.

Next time you tell people that they're the most depressed people in the world, actually ask them first. I am God damned happy sometimes I scare myself!

My brother and i got home and we went into the basement where we have to keep our dog Freak because grandma's dog is demon!

well, i discovered she got in the trash in the bathroom. it was from the bathroom all the way into the living room!

i picked her up, carried her over there, and rubbed her nose in it, yelled that she is a bad dog, and hit her once.

my brother then starts babying her!
he picks her up, makes her look at the mess she made, talks in babytalk to tell her not to do that again!

after i yell at her i always waite a couple minits, then be nice to her cause it always freaks her out when i punish her.

I drove my car from Vancouver Canada and decided to stay in Los Angeles. I wanted to change my license plate to the California one. However, DMV is asking me to provide the document that proves the customs clearance of my old car. I am already settled here in LA for a while and where should I go to obtain the customs clearance paper? Is the procedure complicated? What else do I need to prepare? What is the closest point of customs that I can have this done?

I swam for 10 years, and competed for the last 4 at the national level on a college team. I retired a few years ago when I graduated mostly because I was frustrated and unhappy with the sport, but also because I had to start a career. I was extremely happy with my free time for about 6 months, but now I miss it. Joining another team is impossible because my job requires me to travel 20 days out of the month. I find that I mostly miss the cyclical quality of a swimming lifestyle, going from off season, to training, to peak training, taper, and then starting all over again. I feel like I have nothing to strive for in the short term like I used to especially since work promotions only happen every 3-4 years. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this and is there anything I can do to feel better?

If two friends are up for the same job promotion (due to previous person retiring, no bidding) will they remain friends afterwards? Has anyone encountered this at work? Is it possible to work in a competitive environment with someone you consider a friend? Would you say the slightest negative thing about them to get the promotion?

I love a girl called Shivani Potuhera since 1988. She loved me back then too. I lost touch with her after leaving the country for overseas studies. When I returned, I could not find her. After searching for about 2 years and failing, I married someone else in 1996. I recently learned of her location in Sri Lanka. I called her number a couple of times just to hear her voice. I still love her. I know that.

Should I talk with her and say that I love her? Will she say that she loves me?

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
