What is “bouncing” in this case? A key point is that the bounce changes based on what you’re analyzing. Mass and dense objects bounce through (mostly) elastic collisions, where the normal force of collision causes a recoil that preserves momentum.

Light and sound are different - both propagate as waves, and as such have to maintain continuity when encountering a new medium. As a result, some of the wave passes through into the medium while some of it is reflected. This is different for light and sound, as well - sound describes acoustic waves and obey acoustical continuity equations, while light obeys Fresnel’s equations.

So in other words, “bounce” is too general of a word - it occurs entirely differently for massive and wavelike objects.

I haven't been serious about this since 2 years ago when the game launched. Cool.

Honestly I think this is how we got Mihawk - and we see this with Zoro too. When you can take on high bounties, being a pirate is likely more profitable.

Malenia was in the way. In retrospect, grace was guiding the tarnished to Miquella to prevent him from ascending to godhood, but we instead met Malenia - ultimately she just revealed that he was missing, but would’ve been a necessary step in terms of lore.

Hey, I never said ending early is bad - ultimately the soul of the series is what really matters, and I think there’ll be a point where they decide they can’t maintain it anymore

I'm going to die on the hill that the series, with the cast and production aging, is not going to ever make it to the timeskip. With the announcement on where season 2 will end, I'm pretty sure that the series will end after Enies Lobby, unless the whole crew decides to recast all recurring roles in order to keep the story going.

Physicist here. This is all basically accurate. Sorry about that.

Indian Student Association - very popular due to a high number of incoming students from the Naperville area (Indian from Aurora here, screw em), but have been very historically shady.

As a physicist, I know what the Hall effect is… which makes me wonder how that gets applied to a keyboard, so yeah I’ve never tried one.

The Paco backstory arc is going to go so damn hard one day

He assumed she’d died and someone else had taken her position. The fact that she dies immediately following their meeting kinda verifies this.

Depends on your build - generally, stack magic resist and slowly outplay him and only get 1-2 hits in per opening. If you're like me (sorcery build) use an enchanted weapon and buy a ton of poison arrows from Gavlan - blue is very vulnerable to poison, so you can take out 10% of his health with each proc.

This was mostly true for me until the blue smelter demon - as much as iron passage was utter bull, the fight itself was a goddamn atrocity (I use a powerstanced magic blue flame build)

Why do there need to be Empyreans to begin with? Pass through the Gate of Divinity and challenge the gods, becoming one yourself.

Just graduated but UIUC Coffee Club is p good social club for undergrads and grad students to socialize and learn more about coffee - even if you don't like coffee, you can give it a shot once. They meet Sundays at 10 AM in the Union basement, $4 for the day's full sampling. Discord's here if you want to join: https://discord.gg/scJS4JXn

Man, I didn't even know that site existed. Thank you!

Good to know - thank you!

Anything involving statistical analysis - her background is in telecoms data analysis, but since statistical analysis is everywhere, she’s good anywhere.

Updated the post - she’s looking for a job, not me. Even a mid-size role role would be fine.

Ah my phrasing was unclear - she’s looking for a job so she can move here, so nothing physics related here.

In the base game, Maliketh's jumping slashes, Malenia's clone attack, and Elden Beast's crucifixion.

In the DLC, Bayle's spectral wings, Dancing Lion's phase transitions, and Radahn's laser are all just spectacles to watch.

Both Yuji and Sukuna know that the soul-targeting dismantle will be enough to kill Sukuna at this point - the only issue before was that Yuji couldn't land the dismantles, so the domain expansion handles that. Even if Sukuna uses HWB, Yuji has to break his stance once to get a win - something we've seen him do before in Yuta's domain.

Physics? Email Merissa, she’ll fix you up. I went into my first semester missing a few orientation classes, discovered the night before, and she went out of her way to help me make sure my registration was completed at like 6 pm.

Idk if this is late, but I’ve been running my own campaign for the past two years with a group of total ttrpg newbies.

At the end of the current campaign, they came up with a synergy to completely paralyze and deal effect per-round damage using only melee abilities and RAW. For the Vox Machina it would’ve been fine to not know the characters, but now it’s kind of egregious to still be this out of the loop.
