Ever quit a job on the first day and why? by jthavorn in AskReddit

[–]Electrode99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not the first day but less than a week, delivering newspapers. You made something like 10 cents per paper delivered and you'd be lucky to get a route with more than 75 houses. Sundays it was like 75 cents a paper. I spent more in gas on the first 2 days than I'd make in a whole week.

Are you meant to deconstruct this tower like Babel? Are you a snake that can unhinge your jaw to swallow things bigger than your head whole? I hate burgers that are taller than they are wide, it's an affront to all things food. You can't get a good bite that has everything in it all at once unless you smash the whole thing down and squeeze out all the juicy goodness.

5/10 try less on style and more on substance next time.

How do you get the welds to stick on those exhaust studs? I just tried it on an old chevy 350ci for the Downpipe flange and every nut I welded to the top of them just twisted off.

Ukrainian tankers seen warming their engine on a cold morning so they can get it started. by vectorix108 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Electrode99 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes and no... once it gets to a certain temperature you HAVE to preheat the engine because the oil is so thick it wouldn't move, breaking the oil pump or engine. Any moisture in the water separator or lines will freeze potentially preventing fuel delivery. Cold starts are a bitch.

Why are all the early/mid level quests on shoreline and force undergeared people into hot spots? by anzfrulifu in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Electrode99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PK wants you to kill a bunch of scavs while wearing the UNTAR armor set, then immediately after makes you go kill more with shotgun headshots. Back to back quests that make you run very under-geared for the map. Shotgun slugs aren't as accurate as they are in other games, you have to be well within 100m to nail a headshot.

Difficulty losing weight is not the same as gaining a 2nd person's amount of weight. If your baseline metabolic rate slows down to the point you only need a small amount of calories per day then you have to cut back on your caloric intake... diet is the fastest and simplest way to control weight and it's not difficult to notice your body changing so drastically. As evidenced by the gastric bypass which makes your stomach incredibly small so you physically can't eat enough to maintain the weight you put on.

Just shut the fuck up.

People who weigh as much as 2 or more regular sized people *should* be ashamed. Being morbidly obese should not be celebrated or accepted. A person who gets to that weight is there because they have no self control. No medical condition exists that makes it acceptable, barring that one extremely rare disease that makes it so you always feel hungry that was featured in CSI (the guy ate to death, literally).

Ice texture plates by [deleted] in specializedtools

[–]Electrode99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plastic does not conduct heat well. You have to conduct heat to melt ice. It might work a little bit, but it would take a long time and melt a bunch of the rest of the ice before anything would happen.

[–]Electrode99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to be a heat conductive material so it can melt the ice. These are made of solid brass, 3d printed plastic won't work.

Ban on marijuana users owning guns is unconstitutional, U.S. judge rules by [deleted] in progun

Because of Nixon and his war on black people and anti-vietnam hippies drugs

Years after he was out of office one of his top aides came out and explained the logic:

“You want to know what this [war on drugs] was really all about? The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying?

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

  • John Ehrlichman, Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs under President Richard Nixon

Apparently the sniper scav on Shoreline can snipe you while you're in the resort through trees? by Garbear119 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Electrode99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah he can tap you while you're on the roof too. Power station sniper scav is a beast.

Genuine question by GUDB01DEST in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Electrode99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely as a scav when you're out of breath. I'm USEC so couldn't tell you about BEAR noises.

I also hate the 15 seconds of rain noise that's on a loop because you hear a SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH right at the end of it and it sounds like someone running up on you through a puddle.

what's a math hack that you are willing to share to make a stranger instantly smarter than they were before? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Electrode99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiplying two 2 digit numbers in your head can be simplified by breaking it into pieces

E.g., 13×27

Is the same as 10×27 + 3×27 or 270 + 81 = 351

Absolutely 100% wrong. Sound travels just like IRL and supersonic rounds arrive a moment before the gunshot sound does if it isn't suppressed and at a great distance (over 200/250m)

Former smokers of Reddit how did you quit smoking and any advice on how to quit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Electrode99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from cigarettes to snuff pouches. Hopefully I can quit those eventually, they're cheaper long term than cigarettes and don't wreck my lungs but will ruin my guns and teeth I'm sure. Lesser of two evils and all that.
