OK, so... picture a graph
Do I have to? Can't I picture Colin Firth gazing longingly at me?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Isn't the whole point of (some part of ) quantum mechanics that the presence or absence of an obverver is fundamentally important to the nature of an event?
Right, I think that's part of the idea I'm talking about.
The simple, non-integral way would be to say that you have a right triangle of 4 x 40, the area of which is 80
Right. So...your answer that Gud confirmed was wrong? This fits more with your "take the half of the putative distance traveled" trick.

Only if he has grid lines overlaid upon his face.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Do I have to? Can't I picture Colin Firth gazing longingly at me?
I think that's what he meant. At least, that's what "graph" equals in my head.

I took P-C's post to make me ask: What the hell is an obverver?
Stoopid fingers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So...your answer that Gud confirmed was wrong? This fits more with your "take the half of the putative distance traveled" trick.
Yes and yes.
ita pointing out that 40 x 4 = 160 made me all, "WTF?"
Note that if acceleration is not constant, the trick doesn't work and you have to integrate.

Now I'm confused.

Read the sentence of mine you quoted again. Closely. (Not the original, it's been edited now, but your quote).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's just mean. When did you get all mean?
Also, Robin, why are you bogarting all the imaginary sweethearts? It isn't enough that Stephen Colbert is your seekrit TV boyfriend, now Colin is gazing longingly at you?
Or is he so full of longing because he's so jealous of Colbert?
Either way, keep your imaginary mitts off him.

I've always been mean. Meaner than a witch's tit.
