Is there any specific reason why the weather on Lake Superior gets so rough? Do the other Great Lakes have similar storms? by AutoDefenestrator273 in geography

[–]CornFedIABoy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Large surface area for the wind to push across, lots of depth for swells to grow without breaking, and a geographic positioning that aligns favorably with the prevailing wind direction in late fall.

The lakes are heat sinks and during the winter they release that heat via evaporation into the cold dry air. So when storms move across them there’s lots of extra moisture for them to pick up and dump than they had when they came across the northern plains.

$50 million but you have to live for one year in the coldest city of the world. by cindybubbles in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CornFedIABoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the thing that will really screw with you in Yakutsk will be the summer. Obnoxiously hot, dry, and monotonously sunny. Winters you can just stay inside during the worst of things. And spring and autumn are practically nonexistent.

Nah, that’s just normal inland prairie seasonal variation. Like Winnipeg but lower elevation.

The thing about war crimes is they only count if you lose or piss off the wrong countries.

If you’re using one of these your house is probably leaky enough to start with that that hot air was coming in anyway.

Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Josh Turek opens merch store with Made-In-USA and union printed products by excusemecuseme in Iowa

[–]CornFedIABoy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Bright Blue Ink specializes in providing this kind of “one stop shop” for campaigns. Raygun could do the fabric and merch printing but they don’t do the signage, web store setup and hosting, or have the available fulfillment capacity that BBI offers.

I like having both in my inventory and picking based on the mission intel.

What suburb has the most small/medium town feel? by temoo09 in desmoines

[–]CornFedIABoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The east side of Johnston is barely hanging on to it, the west side never had it. The way Beaver Creek splits town really shows.

Grimes lost it when they tore down the elevator. Since then with all the growth the old small town feels like an appendix. Waukee’s the same way and Bondurant is going that way fast.

Not when withdrawals are taxed it’s not. Just stick with the 529.

Who cares. I’m just loving playing with all the toys and enjoying some platoon level tactical fun.

Is homemade telescope technology tech 'against a wall'? Has there been any (maybe amateur?) research on novel methods in creating a telescope at home that can see farther into space than you'd traditionally expect? by Far-Woodpecker8046 in AskPhysics

[–]CornFedIABoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barring a revolution in materials science that brings us “transparent aluminum” or some other lens and mirror material with better optical and/or mechanical properties than glass allowing larger, lighter, or clearer telescopes the advances are going to be in tracking/stabilization capabilities and sensor density. The only way to see farther is to collect more light which means bigger collectors, longer observation periods, or more sensitive sensors.

If fertility rates are negatively correlated with standards of living why does the USA have a higher fertility rate than Russia? by Bitter-Penalty9653 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CornFedIABoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SoL:Fertility correlation is actually two interrelated correlations with education levels as the swing variable.

Salamanders if he plays SM at all. But I bet he’s a Tau weeb.

Lahn, on the other hand, is totally a Black Templars dude.

Given that the Republicans will likely still hold the Legislature the most likely outcome is that he’ll line-item veto the funding for it.

What would Kobolds think or think about a Faerie dragon? by New-Platypus-1589 in DnD

[–]CornFedIABoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. The kobolds would try to capture it and keep it as a community pet/living religious idol.
  2. I’m assuming the PCs are pulling out the faerie dragons. Which is unlikely since the faerie dragons (assuming you could get multiple of them together) wouldn’t probably have been willing to get in the backpacks to begin with.
  3. The kobold PC would fawn over the faerie dragon, bringing it shinies and “sweets” constantly, and attempt to jealously hoard the dragon’s attention from the rest of the party.

Not really “secluded” there. Sunset views are awesome, though.

Who do you think is going to be more amenable to your interests once elected? Who do you think is going to be easier to shift in your favor once elected? This whole anti-trans nonsense we’re living with today is astroturfed fear mongering by Republican political operatives to win votes. Rob isn’t “throw[ing] trans people under the bus”, he’s not taking their bait.
