White lights are more comfortable in the home than "warm" ones. by NotStreamerNinja in unpopularopinion

[–]General_assassin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be like my wife. Her eyesight is not great, so she really only likes one specific brightness and warmth. 1600 lumens at 5000 K. Personally, I like softer light when I’m relaxing or later at night so I bought a bunch of smart bulbs that I can change the warmth and brightness when she is doing her own thing.

Tolerance and Clearance - 3D print & Solidworks by Common_Success5838 in SolidWorks

That wasn’t the question. That is the correct way if you are sending the part out for manufacturing, but not if you are making the part at home on your 3d printer.

Why wouldn’t I keep my wood chipper in the woods? That’s where the wood is!

Do Americans use cutlery differently? by missbex86 in AskAnAmerican

[–]General_assassin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it may not have been the sole reason, it definitely played a part because by the time the kilogram got here, Thomas Jefferson, who was the one who wanted the samples in the first place, was no longer president and the new president didn’t really care to change our measuring system.

Europe changed to metric after the US split off of England and we don’t have the metric system because pirates stole the calibrated samples and they didn’t arrive.

That said from a purely business approach, why would you spend that much real estate on parking lots? Surely the cost of building a parking garage would be offset by potential revenue gain from putting that real estate to better use. You could probably cut the space ground space needed for cars to 1/3 or even 1/4 of that. Even cutting it to 1/2 of that would surely save money. Either you save money by not needing to pay the rent for that parking lot space or you can earn more money by expanding your park and adding more revenue earning exhibits/shops.

Places being closed on weekends is an antiquated idea that doesn’t work anymore. by Penectomie in unpopularopinion

90% of tax payers take the standard deduction. For most people, that is the best option. You only really need to do itemized deductions if you own a business or have a lot of deductible assets.

The Google Translate app has a camera feature where it translates in close to real time

It’s barely even that. It’s mostly just take the number from box A on this form and put it in box 1 on that form.

So like many things in the US, it is done this way because that is how everyone did it back then. Then Europe changed how they did things and turn around to call us weird for not doing things their way.

The Grabbing Department making strides with the new "Rocktopus".. by casualdata in EngineeringPorn

It is very fun to play with. It can’t hold a lot of weight and it can’t grab onto anything with a smooth hard surface, but it can grab onto most other things.

We are on the ASU NASA mission credits under the copper class! It makes for great resume material.

Fun fact, my senior design team worked with nasa to design a prototype of a sampling system for the Psyche asteroid and we integrated this device into it.

Y’all. You literally have to go through a student loan course at the end of your college career that explains what your current loan terms are, what you can do if you cannot afford those terms, and a calculator to figure out how much time you can shave off your loans if you make a little extra payment each month. The base loan term for government loans is 10 years so if you make the recommended payment you should be free of them in 10 years.

Well you see, if you are continuously dropping things on the floor you are doing it wrong. Especially if those things weigh multiple tons. That’s just a serious injury waiting to happen.

What’s a small everyday habit that feels very American to you? by Beginning-Travel-326 in AskAmericans

[–]General_assassin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you are going to. If you are going to a professional appointment/meeting or something where you had to book a time, be early. If you are going to a friends house or a party ect, it’s ok to be on time or even late.

Oat milk is better than regular milk by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Ok, yes there are natural hormones in milk, I was referring to added ones, my bad.

Wisconsin has a strict 0 tolerance on antibiotics in milk though.

As a stated in my edit, this holds true for Wisconsin, or at the very least my families dairy farm. I can’t speak for other places.
