Spanish train crash caught on film (102)
jac379: No, I'm suggesting you're rude, (in particular you're condescending) to me because I don't understand what your saying and that is unfair and unnecessary.
Projection makes perception.
<snip> Hope that didn't "hurt".
Just popping in to say "I hate inertia. We've had a long standing quarrel. Inertia sucks."
jac379: Forgive me if this is harsh, but I've had enough of tolerating your assumptions that difficult communication between us is entirely my problem and arrogance. Your written English isn't all that advanced, just as my physics isn't.
Learning is always facilitated by assuming the benevolence of a would-be teacher. Otherwise, one would have to remain suspect of what is being taught. Counterproductive to learning even in the best of communication circumstances, me thinks.

The Spanish government says it will review safety measures on all railway lines in response to the derailment which killed 79 people last month.
Public Works Minister Ana Pastor said the skills and knowledge required of train drivers would also be reviewed.
The speed limits and signalling on all lines will be checked for any deficiencies, she told a panel of MPs.
Ferre revealed to the inquiry that the stretch of track where the accident occurred had originally been planned as a high-speed line but was modified to conventional specifications after the then minister of works, José Blanco, decided the high-speed line "didn't offer any advantages".
Ferre said a high-speed line would have been fitted with the ERTMS system that would automatically apply the train's brakes if it was exceeding the speed limit. Instead, the track was fitted with a system that stops the train only if it is travelling at over 200km/h (125mph).
