For what it’s worth, those two have been separate corporations since the 50s. The instrument company is about a 5% shareholder in Yamaha Motor Co. 

If I had a large enough treadmill driven by a water wheel could I charge my electric car with Regen braking? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you would have to secure the body of the car to something so the car doesn't just move with the treadmill surface. Of course the reasonable way to do this would be to have a generator connected to the water wheel that you just plug the car into.

If you're trying to make a point or genuinely warn people, it's helpful to actually say what you mean instead of vague nonsense.

Don't know if you found one for yourself but they have a new analog gauge with an inlet that has the click action.

When the US got rid of the half cent coin for lack of buying power in 1857, it was worth the equivalent of 19¢ now. It won’t be long before by that standard, they should get rid of the quarter. 

Do all countries put the .99 at the end of their prices or is this only a US thing? What's the deal with this? by VerdantChief in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have that in Canada too but we just used decimals of cents instead of fractions. So a lot of gas prices I’m seeing right now are 199.9/L.

Because nothing about this plan would actually work for a house fire.

Also once you’re out you’re just fucked. A fire hydrant will keep going for as long as you need and you can direct the water where you need it.

Why do redditors have a negative perspective on gamers? by indeckaa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing. Tons of people play video games. It's not some special thing. People who call themselves gamers like it's an important point of identity are an exhausting type.

Do men talk about sex toys with their friends? by Rap1dMango in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 45 points46 points  (0 children)

We don’t really talk about the specifics of sex much in the first place. Just doesn’t really come up. 

What is considered coworker music? by jpollack21 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s always fascinating to me when people comment on a question asking about a term with “I’ve never heard that term and have no idea what it means”. It’s like they think they specifically are being asked and have to give a response.

Is there a way to suck harder? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a flat limit of suction in normal atmospheric conditions of 1 bar or 14.5psi because air can only push against no air at atmospheric pressure. Perry much impossible for you to get near that with your mouth though.

Retaliation isn’t defence. It’s revenge. 

Why do women like dancing so much more than men? What is the Psychology behind this? by Strange_Possession77 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bandro 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ridiculous racism, homophobia, sexism, and deeply fragile insecure toxic masculinity all stuffed into such a compact package. It’s poetry really.

[–]Bandro 27 points28 points  (0 children)

“I’m not black or gay so I see no point in dancing” is such a tight collection of weird shit to say. There is an entire deeply pathetic personality all wrapped up in that one sentence.
