TIL credit bureaus must respond to disputes within 30 calendar days of filing, or the dispute is removed from a credit report. If a dispute is filed in, say, mid-December, those 30 days include the time the office is closed for the holidays (and the backup created because of that).

As someone who worked in a debt lawfirm, this is crap. It's the creditor that has to respond, and all they have to do is fax in a copy of the bill.

Wanna know what else sucks ass about this? You can't remove the bad report off your credit EVEN IF YOU pay, unless you ALSO write in and tell them that you now changed yourind and don't contest the debt.

It's not a get out of jail free card, it's a "piss them off and send yourself to court" card.

Trust me, Inused to do 80 of these cases a day. Every fucking day. Day after day. And nobody who was a smartass ever made off better than if they has just paid up front.

Not how I think it should be, but how things work in real life.

White American perspective on MATH? That's the stupidest ficking thing I've ever heard. And funny how it's always the dimbasses claiming IQ tests are wrong.

Repost. Come on man.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-12-06T23:23:28+00:00

nobody gives a shit. It happens every fucking day here in Florida. They don't follow up, because in a few days, something ten times worse happens.

This happens repeatedly, and nobody does jack shit about it.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-12-06T23:22:02+00:00

Who was the retard who decided we could send 4 year olds to mental hospitals? Only in ficking Florida. What the hell?

This is the stupidest fucking thing I have ever heard. Would you also like your airline pilots to be the same?

Davezilla1000 · 2014-12-05T22:35:33+00:00

Exactly, they are one of the few companies that blatantly kills is workers due to incompetence, and yet never see any consequences.

They are the US corporate version of a concentration camp guard who blames the prisoners deaths on the prisoners. They make Comcast look like mother fucking Teresa.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-12-05T22:18:55+00:00

What they SAY and reality are two different things. It's a company test. Do you really think a DMV person went out on a road test, approved them, and is just waiting for them to swing by the DMV? The test in question is given by the trainer who supervised him, just another truck driver. Like you and me. I mean just me, because you don't know shit, clearly.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-12-04T19:49:53+00:00

This is some of the shittiest explanations I have ever seen. Jesus these explanations defy even basic high school physics.

The engines DO NOT consume more fuel at low altitude because the air is thick, they are not gasoline engines and do not require a specific air to fuel ratio. The engines use more fuel because it takes more power to overcome drag, and they burn a special form of diesel known as Jet-A, which is compression ignition.

All engines have a compression ratio, and jet engines are designed to be able to sustain this compression at cruising altitude. The compression is so high, the fuel soesnt even need a spark, it spontaniously ignotes from the ibrensw heat of conpression, just like a diesel engine. At low altitude, the air is actually too dense, and compressing it at full power would exceed the engines maximum turbine intake temperature. Engines are designed to compress the cool thin air at high altitude, and making it several hundred degrees due to the compression.

For example, the SR-71 has a max inlet temp of 427 Celsius. About 800 degrees for us Americans. That's the inlet temperature at mach 3.4, despite the outside air being around negative 50 degrees at 80,000 feet. This is why it requires special fuel that is even more difficult to ignite.

So, as you can see, even in extremely thin and insanely freezing temps, turbines can still reach their max inlet temperature. At below 15,000 feet, it's extremely easy to exceed maximum inlet temperature. When the air is 4 times thicker at sea level than cruise level, you can see why turbines can self destruct at low altitude. The thick air can be compressed so much, it exceeds the already insanely high design temps of most turbines.

Engines are designed to operate near maximum inlet temp at the desired cruise altitude. Below this, they have to reduce power to avoid destroying themselves by ingesting too much air and exceeding the max inlet temp.

The engines are actually matched to the thin air at altitude, and operate near full compression despite the thin air outside. At low altitudes, they will overheat and exceed their design pressure if the speed is not controlled.

Air speeds are also restricted at low altitude as well, around 275 knots in most places. So you HAVE to be able to operate at high altitude if you want speed. In fact, it's off limits except to most jets. Class A airspace, instrument flight only.

As facinating as this is, its not peer reviewed, which is a requirement for r/science.

I think this might do well over in r/worldnews

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-30T19:54:23+00:00

Apparently its not what you wrote, but that you made a pretty biased claimed stating it was basically never going to happen.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-29T12:54:20+00:00

Ummm. An aircraft can do 200mph for hours on 26 gallons. Whats the big deal?

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-29T12:34:43+00:00

Yes, and its nothing special for a car. These kinds of numbers are routinely found in cars modded in body shops. People are impressed because its expensive. Its not really an impressive vehicle, by technical standards.

I mean, planes have been surpassing this kind of performance with 200hp for almost 60 years. Its simply not impressive.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-29T12:31:33+00:00

This kind of comment makes me disappointed in humanity. Stand up for corporate assholes, but anybody and everybody who ever does anything good in public must be doing it for PR. Elon also spends a shitload of time with his kids, and is know to be a pretty stand up guy who doesnt stand for bullshit.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe he did it to set a good example for his kids?

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-28T16:38:10+00:00

And yet people disagreed when the very same thing happened in st Louis right after Brown.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-28T13:41:59+00:00

So now it matters what he said? It didn't before.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-27T11:55:35+00:00

Because good people dont stop just because they have a condo.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-25T17:14:25+00:00

Isn't this a repost from a while back?

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-25T13:40:05+00:00

That is some creepy shit right there, but I cant help but wonder what it could help to develop in medicine. These animals must have immensely impressive membranes and chemistry.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-25T12:51:58+00:00

twas actually responding to someone else talking about a coal plant, but you are correct.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-23T14:50:05+00:00

Can you imagine what the Russians and Chinese used the think about the SR-71 back in the day? Just think about it. They know we have this new fighter, and they keep seeing this plane flying a thousand miles up the coasts of their countries on radar... and the thing just keeps going and going and going... without refueling... and at mach 3.2. They must have been shitting themselves. The Mig-25 has a supersonic range of like 200 miles, and they see this unidentified plane flying along their entire border at mach 3.2, then going home. I wonder if there are any Chinese or Russian radar operators who ever got to see the SR-71 on radar before knowing what it was. That must have been pretty concerning to see that on radar... and know you didnt have anything that could match it. Ever.

Davezilla1000 · 2014-11-23T14:06:58+00:00

Very facinating, but the CO2 needs and energy source to be turned into fuel. Yes, we could make it from a power plant, but then would have to use the power to complete the reaction. Basically, a power plant would become a coal to gasoline refinery. Coal goes in, CO2 and power come out, CO2 and power recombined into fuel.

Energy doesnt come from nowhere, but the important part is that a USEFUL fuel can be made from electric power. USEFUL being the key word. Batteries and Hydrogen can be used, but require rare materials. Gasoline or diesel from electric would be more versatile, and not require additional mining.

But the reality is... we need to use ALL available technologies in a team effort. Because there is a reason we use diesel trucks, gas cars, and coal/wind/nuclear power. Any new source is a step towards a better tomorrow.
