  • Put it in a potato cannon, get two optic eye beams, record the time as the anemone flies through each beam. Tricky to get the path right, I am sure, trial and error will help. Then, time in seconds, say from an internal clock on whatever device gets the signal from the beams. So b1 is beam one, and the first the anemone passes through, then you have b2 for beam two. Measure the distance (d) in feet between the beams along the flight path. So, t1 is time b1 triggers, t2 for b2 trigger. Elapsed time, et, is t2-t1. Velocity is d/et, giving feet per second.














  • bezos takes a smallish salary, I don’t care about that myth, or them, or unrealized gains. we need to rebalance the tax system. if unrealized gains are really such a loophole, then tax borrowing against it. This would hurt small borrowers too. so what?

    the rich man loan problem is a red herring. if we ever rebalanced the system, there would also be political will to close loopholes. thus tax code can be directed at large borrowers or some other solution. your response is the “oh it is hopeless so don’t consider it” crap brought up on reddit every time this subject comes up.
