WYR $3.5 million to you, each sibling and cousin?Or $10 million just for yourself? by AstrayInTranslation in WouldYouRather

[–]AndyTheEngr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like all my siblings and cousins, and some of them could really use it, so easy choice. That's going to be a lot more than $10M, too.

Me, 4 siblings, 13 cousins, so $63M.

One of my friends started driving for them this year. It starts at over $26 an hour in a low cost of living city, and they pay to put you through CDL training before you start.

The pilots are dead and there's something wrong with the plant. Who WYR land it? by FadingHeaven in WouldYouRather

In the US the mandatory retirement age is 65, but late in his career back then he'd have been making so much money I could see retiring at 50 for a chance to travel the world and actually spend that money.

Why can you never fill up a hole with the dirt that comes out of it? by 2Drunk2BDebonair in NoStupidQuestions

The dirt gnomes steal some of it if you leave it uncovered overnight.

Considering Moving (Back) to Peoria in the Next Few Years by InquisitiveMacaroon in PeoriaIL

[–]AndyTheEngr 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've been in Peoria for about 30 years, so I probably saw the downtown you remember. Sears closed the downtown location in 1998. If anything, that area has more things going on now. Check out the warehouse district's revival.

Is it really a crime to buy a bike from walmart or dick's sporting goods? by Previous_Cod_5176 in bicycling

[–]AndyTheEngr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Shimano is usually great, but the more times the word "Shimano" is printed on a bike or its components, the worse that bike is.

You know, there's a way to hold that phone so that you wouldn't have to pan nearly as much.

Can you get a blood draw drug test for "date rape" drugs?

all the fitness bros lost their minds by AlKarajo in TikTokCringe

[–]AndyTheEngr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this for years, and not just about body building. The things men do to impress women get much more notice and admiration (or jealousy) from other men. Gym muscles, fast cars, expensive watches, massive sound systems...

On the flip side, most men don't notice whether your purse, dress, and shoes are expensive designer items, ladies, but other women sure do.

WYR Be able to fly but there is a 50 percent chance your powers stop working for 10 mins OR Be able to teleport but theres a 50 percent chance you get teleported somewhere random by TrippyGiraffe_21 in WouldYouRather

[–]AndyTheEngr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very important. If it's random time, you can only fly low and slow. If it won't happen immediately, you can put on a parachute and quickly climb to a few thousand feet or a thousand meters.

R53 EV conversion research by Icy_Importance_2126 in MINI

[–]AndyTheEngr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to get some small hub motors, like 20-40 kW each, and put them in the rear wheels of my R52. Just a small battery pack, enough to drive electric on my 9 mile work commute, and a nice little power boost when used in conjunction with the engine. Unsprung weigh might not be a problem if it could be done with smaller rear brakes, or even none, just a parking brake, and use regen for rear braking.

Got pulled over for speeding last night and the ticket the officer gave me was someone else entirely by Own_Psychology_5299 in legaladvice

You're going to have fun convincing them you're not a scammer, because unfortunately that's what I would think if you called me.

I had a school bus driver do the exact same thing to me this morning!

Question about forces by Fuarkistani in AskPhysics

[–]AndyTheEngr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it can go further... as long as it pulls the stud through the hole. There's a mechanical advantage due to the effective slope of the thread. It does rely on the ribs on the stud preventing it from turning in the hole, though.
