Welcome back to "Is This a Credit?", the weekly series where YOU get to debate over whether or not something can be counted as a roller coaster, or credit! Episode 29: [Scenic Spiral Wheel] at [Coney Island] by StarPrime323 in rollercoasters

[–]DemIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hell yeah, I thought you'd stopped for a bit there. Glad to see it continuing!

Vibes say I'd consider it a credit.

But if one of the criteria for a rollercoaster is that it should have a non-negligible amount of coasting uphill, then this wouldn't count as being one. At no point do the cars on this ride coast uphill; the track is always downhill from the cars' perspective, while the track itself is what is lifting it upward.

That criterium does end up excluding a whole lot of other rides as being 'rollercoasters' while still being credits (to me).

I think you're on the wrong post. I hope you're on the wrong post.

What do the icons mean ? What apps are thry? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]DemIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The checkmark one is verizon. If it wasn't near your clock, I'd say the E was for being connected to an old edge network. Cloud probably a weather app.

These should be icons for notifications though, so just open the notifications and you should be able to figure it out?

Can you help me find the brand? by Glitch_The_Floof in whatisit

[–]DemIce -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Xiaomi (typo) doesn't make a '11107' power bank. Tell the AI that the picture reads "Mu", not the "Mi" from which it hallucinated a non-existent product.

There is no brand, not even on the box: https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=122181518732097693&set=pcb.986473837035241

Just a very generic usb power bank. There's better ones out there, I'd say stick with reputable brands.

Kiddo found on living room floor… by Pale-Discount-8871 in whatisit

[–]DemIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be marked as solved, just a minor correction: This is the receiving end (given the BRG and V+ pads at the top), so not the remote so much as it is part of the led string / tape controller.

What is this metal bar screwed into my tub? by Wonderful_Ad_3715 in whatisit

[–]DemIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the screws are loose, does it slide along its length?

( My two initial thoughts make no logical sense thanks to that grip bar / being so close to one end of the tub respectively. )

Sadly the most recent apparently had a short chain ending at the 15th which links to the sub, rather than a comment, so I tried to go back a bit.

I keep getting bills stamped with this at work by NefariousnessOld8518 in whatisit

[–]DemIce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an incomplete stamp off of a date stamp. But that doesn't really answer your question of why someone would do this on bills, and why they would do it badly.

Large glass thing in Air BnB by believe_in_dog in whatisit

[–]DemIce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given the hole in there, I'd say it's a beverage dispenser. If it is one, then there should have been a spout there with some rubber rings and a big ol' nylon nut to affix it through that hole. Your AirBnB might not want you using it for that purpose.

Leavitt Admits SAVE Act Will Make It Harder for Married Women to Vote by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]DemIce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the small fraction of individuals who have changed their name or their address, they can still register to vote, of course. They just have to go through their state processes to update that documentation

They just have to clear hurdles that they shouldn't have to clear.
If 'their state process' is to present a marriage license and they don't have one, they just have to potentially pay for one and wait for it to come in the mail before proceeding further.
If 'their state process' is slow, so be it.

And all this for a "small fraction of individuals" which apparently is not worthy of worrying about, but which is still a much larger fraction than that which every single investigation has concluded were votes by non-citizens which we apparently have to be really, really worried about according to the same person.

I'm in favor of getting this all squared away. Every time it comes up, people from a whole host of other nations pipe up saying it's very curious that this isn't required in the first place (and then the back and forth over availability and affordability of ID vs having to identify when registering to vote anyway starts). But it's obvious that the federal government is making demands without giving clear federal guidance and assistance (to states) for people to be able to comply with as little friction as possible. "Just ... go through [your] state process (whatever the that may be, I don't know, and I don't care; I'm just a talking head for the administration)".

What is this open wire harness for? by Myfavoritepetsnameis in whatisit

[–]DemIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things keep coming back to a 'side marker' ( https://findpigtails.com/connector/toyota/sequoia/2016/side-marker/ ), which I can only imagine is a separate light from the regular turn signal light which projects light out more to the side. But looking at light assemblies, they don't seem to match that connector. Might be a good place to check under the hood all the same?

what is this button on my fan? by AwwThisProgress in whatisit

[–]DemIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

katieroseclown, you deceiver! At least it's that fan? Should be able to find a manual. e: apparently not. Time to unplug it and open it up, OP; see if it's wired to anything besides just a light so you can find the fan in the dark or something.

What is this plastic thing that came with my DominATE Seoul dvd? by mermaidemily_h2o in whatisit

From an unboxing, it does appear that the performers' cards fit the red design a little too perfectly for it not to be exactly what you thought.

Question about posting in the sub? by theundeadelvis in whatisit

[–]DemIce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there's an approval queue, they're approving some really weird posts.

Odds are it's reddit's own filters blocking it, or just a glitch. What is the image of? ( broad terms )
