1It is interesting that adding the dimples to a golf ball made it fly more true. So randomness can increase predictability. The temperature of a roomfull of air is pretty even. Maybe adding dimples to the Roulette ball would make it more predictable? Turbulence usually makes noise and drag, but for owl feathers, it makes it quieter, and for shark skin, reduces drag.Scott Rowe– Scott Rowe2026-03-29 12:57:58 +00:00Commented 2 days ago

@keshlam you'd get a cute owl that flies true. Penguins are birds that fly underwater.Scott Rowe– Scott Rowe2026-03-31 23:44:44 +00:00Commented 5 hours ago

@ScottRowe: I entered a yearly pengun song challenge last year about this time, writing We Will Swim Fast to the tune of Fred Small's I Will Stand Fast. Unfortunately I lost one of the required words in a late edit and invalidated myself.keshlam– keshlam2026-04-01 01:08:59 +00:00Commented 3 hours ago

@keshlam maybe it should be "I Will Fail Fast"? Or, We Will Drive CriglCragl Batty :-) This site needs more friction. Too noisy.Scott Rowe– Scott Rowe2026-04-01 01:26:14 +00:00Commented 3 hours ago

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. philosophy-of-science), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
