Osculating Circles

Colored pencils on black paper, scanned.

Traditional descriptive geometry construction.

The osculating circle to a curve matches its slope and its curvature. For an ellipse (or conic section in general), you can construct it exactly.

Here, I let a hypothetical particle move on a meandering path. I zoom in on one squiggle - which I happen to match one half of an ellipse (yellow) exactly.

Turning the ellipse so that it lies flat in the drawing plane, I can construct the osculating circle (red)… which appears as an ellipse viewed from any other direction.

I draw every ellipse freehand, but guided by its osculating circles. So, also the ellipses representing the "true" osculating circle have their own osculating circles.

I am trying to indicate the three directions (or the three planes) that characterize this path every instant: The tangent to the curve, the principal normal (pointing from the position of the particle to the center of the osculating circle), and the direction perpendicular to both - the "instantaneous plane" of this motion. The three of them are connected by the equations I added.

Me: Hi I need a plumber. Wednesdays work. Today is Saturday.

Plumber: Hello that is me. Yes Wednesday works for me. Ok good bye.

Me on wednesday: Plumber must have forgot, guess I'll reschedule never

Plumber on two wednesdays later: Bonjour

one of the reasons lobsters that get really big eventually die from exhaustion during the molting process is because arthropods actually have to force excess water or air into their bodies to inflate enough to crack the exoskeleton they're molting and escape. in the case of crustaceans living in water it needs to be water they're taking in to expand their size enough to crack the exoskeleton and expand the new one, and since volume increases faster than surface area, the stress this puts on their circulatory system increases exponentially at larger sizes. combine this with the fact that larger lobsters have thicker exoskeletons that are harder to crack in the first place and you have energy demands they generally just can't meet after like 100 years of life

this is my impression of what it would look like if the toddlers at my job could make traumacore edits about me

[lowpawly]

alright by popular demand here is more toddler traumacore

I feel like a horse with no name is probably the best song in the world. Not even my Favorite song just the best

[parkerposey]

He’s literally just telling it like it is

[schrodingersferret]

No but this song comes on at work, and I love it. I know this is a screenshot of a sentence cut off midway through, but I always sing along with "There were plants and birds and rocks and things" when I hear it.
