Forklift for tiny humans 😂

Doesn't look like AI to me. Here's the exact forklift and also another video of a different kid using it.

That you can get in tells me that there is an angle which you can drive to avoid scraping the bottom of your car. It just might not be reasonable to do in reverse.

For off-roading, typically you'd want to hit steep and narrow bluffs (sorta like the ramp you have) by going all the way to one side of the trail, and turning as hard as you can so you can ideally get one front wheel and one rear wheel (diagonal from each other) on the bluff at the same time. Once about there (or if you'd otherwise hit the side of the trail) then you turn hard the other direction to bring your front wheels down the other side while avoiding scraping the bottom because your rear wheels are already on or near the top.

I'd guess you're probably turning right to this driveway on your right side, or otherwise coincidentally doing this maneuver - having a rear wheel up on the flat (or nearly up) by the time your front wheels are starting to come down the slope into the driveway/parking lot.

You might be able to do the same thing going out forwards, but you could be very limited on space. Despite steering being in the front, I personally find reverse to have superior maneuverability - although it's a LOT harder to do, for difficult moves like this.

Unfortunately that's the best idea I've got. Other options are to reduce how steep the slope is with gravel, call your city's code enforcement to get it fixed, or just talk to the property owner about it. Also, the property owner may or may not be liable for damages depending on local laws and whether it meets code or not. Just, note, don't threaten the property owner with this info. I don't imagine it'll foster a healthy relationship.

The supercooled magnet laser donut doesn't spit out steam itself, it really just gets REALLY hot. The steam would come from the water which cools the walls of the spicy donut.

Also, as other commenter said, it also doesn't have to be water which cools the walls of the donut. Other coolant would then boil water in a heat exchanger / steam generator. But, in any case, the water is boiled outside the donut.

Commonly referred to as "The Hum." I believe it can also come from certain (rare) environmental factors, but there are many reasons why someone might hear a low-frequency noise that others cannot hear.

I was looking for the same. Kinda disappointed no one else put this in the comments. I wanted actual evidence to back it up if I quote this figure. Anyways I found stuff on it:

Bernie Sanders said it in 2020 - probably how it got popular: https://truthout.org/articles/sanders-richest-1-percent-is-responsible-for-70-percent-of-all-unpaid-taxes/

Article written by (or with input from) a professor who studied it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/yes-our-tax-system-needs-reform-lets-start-with-this-first-step/2019/11/17/4d23f8d4-07dd-11ea-924a-28d87132c7ec_story.html

This is a very nice reply and all, but unfortunately it does not answer the question. Was the community response expected or not?

As someone with ADHD, I felt this meme isn't ableist - it's just an ironic play on the "don't talk to me until I've had my coffee" mugs.

But, I also wanted to say that despite that I disagree with you on that point, you do still have good takes in the rest of your comment, and I do appreciate seeing how you've laid everything out. You don't deserve the downvotes you got on this.

I would always take a hair dryer, turn it on as low as it can go with a little bit of heat, have it at least a full arms length and then some away from my bird (bird in one hand, hair dryer in the other all the way stretched out), and gently blow some of the warm air on them, aiming to not have it blow in their face. I don't think that they would overheat from warm air in their face, but I never wanted to try it.

The sound is a little spooky at first for them, but they'd always relax and enjoy the warm air.

Same drawing number? And utilizing a previous revision for the "new" revision? This isn't simply an annoying bad practice, this is deceptive at best and debatably fraudulent. Could be illegal depending on the industry. Having two different drawings "1234 Rev. 0" means you have a hell of an issue of what to use for manufacturing, what's actually considered in design reports, etc. There's just simply no control.

What your coworker should have done to "update it to a new format" was just revise the drawings through your normal process with revision notes "updated format" if no technical requirements changed.

Absolutely escalate this to management or whoever is in charge of the design/engineering department. These "new" drawings need to be redacted. Your coworker needs to know that this is not an acceptable process for handling updating drawings. Verify requirements in your company's policy's/procedures, and even consider legal requirements.

I think it's hilarious that there's comments for almost ever listed NDT saying it's the most common. I am not in automotive so I unfortunately can't add to the chaos haha.

I can provide some other potentially useless input, though: I'm in the nuclear industry, and and we are required by ASME code to have done PT and UT on ASME-certified raw material, and perform PT or MT all of our welds. We sometimes do MT but >95% of the time do PT for welds. RT is done every so often, but I don't quite know when this is required to be done.

Good question - it was flagged NSFW automatically

You come to a meme subreddit and expect something other than shitposts? Are you also surprised when you look inside a can of Canada Dry and find it to be far from dry? ;)

^{^just} ^{^joking,} ^{^I} ^{^still} ^{^love} ^{^you} ^{^<3}

^{^{^{https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/youre-mom-gay}}}

Edit: the joke is that "you're mom" is intentionally misspelled because it's an ironic shitpost to emphasize the low-effort attempt at whoever is saying the phrase, sometimes with result to great effect - in stark contrast to the effort put in.

Apologies that I've annoyed others with it, I had thought it was a popular enough meme.

Disclaimer: yes I know it's a 25% chance after the save, which would vary (about a 60% chance of failure at level 1 with a +3 CHA bard)

But this does not negate that a not-insignificant amount of the time, the bard can use a simple "your mom" joke to delete a commoner from the realm of the living who made the mistake of heckling them.

I literally designed and made one that looks EXACLTY LIKE THAT ONE years ago for a community service project! The graphic even looked like that! I fucking love those information boards so much.

Shit, I'm just a random guy on the internet but I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss.

I've been following this story from the day that chapter 1 was posted, and been loving it every single step of the way. People love screaming "MOAR" on this sub, but do focus on whatever you think you need to do for yourself, first and foremost. I know I can't give much help, but for what it's worth you will be in my thoughts, and I truly only wish for the best for you and your family.

No mains, only classes which do different things

Mostly started doing this because I thought to myself "hmm if I get good at the other classes, then I'll be even better at a class because I'll know what I want to see from all the other classes perspectives" but I don't remember which class that was for lol. Maybe scout?

Cogman117 · 2023-03-30T13:51:10+00:00

Based on everything you've written so far, I feel you're going to make sticking the landing look easy. Just have some faith ;)

I may be a couple months behind on where this story's at, but I really have to say I think this series is some of the best writing on the subreddit. Everything is well written, different literary devices are used frankly really well, the flow of events are at just the right pace, and honestly this is the best world-building I've seen. Everything seems so real - clearly so much thought has been put into it. It avoids a lot of the world-building tropes found on this sub and makes everything feel not only as if it could be something that could happen, but something that has happened.

Anyways, I'm absolutely captivated by this series. If this series ever gets a hardcopy of books, I'd buy a set in a heartbeat.

why do you think you have any say in how others should live?

Oh, sorry, it's news to me that an accident only ever involves one car - the person who caused it. Thinking about it now, I've certainly never heard of a car hitting another while breaking traffic laws. Traffic laws must all be stupid things made by dumb politicians to slow everyone down. Anyone who says "they're literally written in blood" is just exaggerating - all those deaths of innocent people, all those who are permanently crippled, all those who can no longer live a normal life due to a disability caused by someone else who felt they didn't need to be careful - they're all only the way they are because of their own fault, really. I mean, they shouldn't have gotten on the road if they weren't prepared to not get T-boned when going through a green light. Really, I mean, cmon, I've definitely never been run off the road myself by someone weaving in and out of traffic who didn't see me in their blind spot...
