How valid this is depends a ton on what you are using it for. Basic internet browsing? You should be fine. Anything serious? Without a working fan you are asking for the computer to start shutting itself down from overheating to stop itself from melting into a puddle.

I actually gamed for years on that machine, though it wasn't exactly high end even when I had it and I didn't exactly try to run crysis or whatev'. Very few overheating shutdowns, some first degree burns.

My laptop fan's been grinding loudly for... I really think about a year.  It may just keep spinning.  If it gets dangerously hot, it'll almost certainly shut itself off.  Then you know there's a serious problem to work around.

Otherwise it's just loud.  I got used to it, though others may comment.  Kinda like when I tripped over my power cable and the top-left corner of my screen was lost to the spider-abyss.

(people complimented my cool screensaver)

Alright, thanks. I've been mostly concerned on how much am I in danger of something important melting down - I've just blown a month's allowance worth of savings on a new guitar so if something expensive and/or impossible to replace in a laptop broke, I'd be thoroughly fucked.

It's gonna be running below specs again (the cleaning in Spring made the difference between PAYDAY 2 being a fancy PowerPoint presentation and a game), but I can cope.

Which effects showering with cold water has except making you cold?

Making you wet.

This was my first result on a Google search.

Is there a way I could find the x y and z components of the square of the displacement between two points without using trigonometry? I think it's impossible but I don't know for sure.

[Shadowlord]

If the Wikipedia description of displacement is accurate and I'm understanding it properly, wouldn't that just be the individual components of the distance formula, without the square root?

(x1-x2)², (y1-y2)², (z1-z2)²

For what it's worth you can "cheat" and get most benefits of both by either starting with a hot shower and switching drastically to a cold one halfway through or vice versa. Personally I like to start hot and then go cold, since the closed pores aspects of a cold shower mean that I can walk out and not feel like I need to apply lotion to my entire body because it's so dry 5 minutes later (which happens to me when I do it the other way around).

Afraid not. If you take your right angled triangle side lengths a, b, and c, you can see that it doesn't quite come out.
b = csin(θ), but b²≠c²sin(θ)


Again I'm reasonably sure that you just can't, was just looking to see if maybe there's an easy way out. Oh well.

[Shadowlord]

What's a csin?

Also can you even do that? Your triangle only has two dimensions, not three.

[TheBiggerFish]

c* sine of theta.

[Shadowlord]

What's c*?

It has three sides. a, b, and c.
