which airline do you work for and what do you do? i love the benefits, but standby can suck. i've spent the night/day in too many airports however, i am an expert in sleeping wherever possible! and really, can you argue with $100 for international first class and free coach?

Originally posted by DasBrotBesser Sorry, I just need attention. Once again, I'm the only person awake. One roomie is passed after goin to a party, another is up in richmond being an extra in some movie, and the other is just being a queenie. But once 1:00 comes tomorrow... can you say power-hour. I hope you can cause it's gonna power-hour after power-hour after power-hour...

heh, i saw the movie being filmed outside of keller hall this afternoon as i went to class! do you know what the movie is about? i've been wondering, but i'm too lazy to make much of an effort to find out. indie film, right?

no worries, i'll be awake for at least another hour! i need attention too, otherwise i go to bed.

Ok, so here's something for people to think about:

You're walking down the street in Chicago when 0-degree-Fahrenheit air is moving down the street with freestream velocity of 30 mph. At each block, as the air impacts at the corner of a building, a boundary layer builds up along the side of the building, just like on a flat plate. To avoid getting too cold, you walk very close to the building, hoping to stay inside the bounday layer. At what minimum distance from the corner can you be guaranteed that boundary layer will be at least 2 feet wide? For air, density = 0.085 lb-mass/foot^3, viscosity = 0.0393 lb-mass/foot-hour.

If anyone can help, 'twould be greatly appreciated! This problem is getting on my nerves something fierce!

Sorry if that's just too much for anyone to think about this late at night, but I'm getting desperate.

yeah, if i were semi-sober i could possibly help you out. pv=nrt seems a little simple for this...

easy...

your body will "think" it's about -40 due to the windchill so all the air will be cold and thus there will be no effective boundry layer.
The question is irrellivent.

I can't be arsed to read that whole mess because I'm too drunk, but all I know is Chicago is fucking cold in the winter when the wind is blowin!

Wow, I really know how to kill a thread, or any social situation for that matter. I'll be sure to ask this question as soon as PvD comes on too.

(I'm thinking of one of my friends with that one: "Oh that shit does NOT fly... that shit does NOT fly, dude."

agreed. that wind off of lake michigan is bone-chilling and damp. hide inside a building, not against the edge.
