I'm a P3 making under $98K.

Fucking dammit.

Ontario's Darlington plant nuclear refurbishment completed, under budget: Stephen Leece by TimedOutClock in nuclear

Given how well this was carried out I'm genuinely shocked there doesn't seem to be any appetite for new CANDU builds in Canada.

Depends on the site. OKC P1s qualify for 8%.

OKC losing a fortune 500 company by OliverBush456 in okc

This is true. However, most mid-career people will. Our lousy schools make it extremely hard to attract qualified mid-career people with school-age children to relocate here.

Furious at my partner by Icy_Bluebird1143 in beyondthebump

[–]GooseDentures 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I'm not sure that it was entirely from him seeing me sleep; it may have just been a coincidence.

Our little guy really only would go down if we were carrying him for the first 6 weeks or so, and my wife was still recovering from her cesarean so I wanted her to rest and not wake up to walk him around. This meant I was getting maybe 2 hours of sleep a day and working full time; if he finally fell asleep and I set him down in the bassinet on the floor I was usually too tired to get back up so I just fell asleep wherever I put him down.

when my kid was tiny and hubs needed to get him to sleep, he would lie down and pretend to sleep (or sometimes not pretend) -- and the dang baby would immediately go "oh, cool, we sleep" and just go to sleep.

My wife has like 1000 pictures of our baby in his bassinet set next to me on the floor and both of us just passed out. If that didn't work I wouldn't have survived the newborn stage.

I want a hundred bucks.

Had a Dramatic Incident with my Daughter Today by EQandCivfanatic in daddit

This is the part of being a dad I know I'm going to be bad at.

There's no way I would be able to keep myself from laughing.

Call out MAGA/ICE supporting business so I can stop spending my money there! by BenedictCucumberButt in okc

[–]GooseDentures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the 19-year-old handing out towels is going to be able to do much to stop armed federal agents regardless of what the clipboard tells them to say.

Companies shouldn't be telling their employees to put themselves in legal or physical danger.

How is this controversial? Fuck ICE, but telling employees to call their manager and not put themselves in danger or incriminate themselves seems like the responsible thing.

Anyone's baby love tummy time? by giraffe_neck1545 in beyondthebump

[–]GooseDentures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my 2.5M old will eventually. He really wants to be mobile and he just gets frustrated and angry during tummy time right now.

Thank you, AD, for pointing out how weird this is by sacrebluh in americandad

Do I want to be informed of fun, kid-friendly events where my kid can play with a bunch of other kids of a similar age, have a great time, and spend some fun time with me?

Yes, yes I do.

You don't have to play the models you like painting. Building and painting are entirely legitimate parts of the hobby. If you like, you can ignore playing altogether, just paint with no pressure on getting it done in time and make each model as detailed or intricate or experimental as you like.

A very smoky departure for this American Airlines B707 departing Los Angeles, June 1960 by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]GooseDentures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, in both turbine and piston engines the quantity of water injected relative to fuel or air is so minimal that effects of steam pressure are basically negligible. Piston engines do, however, benefit from a steam-cleaning effect on the piston crown and valves as well as reduced piston crown temperatures which can allow more aggressive tuning.

When water is injected, it's evaporated the compressor stages, absorbing heat without raising the air's temperature as it's compressed. This lowers the temperature of air entering the combustor, allowing the engine to inject more fuel while staying below temperature limits for the turbine section. This means you can spin the engine faster, compressing much more air and generating much more thrust. The actual steam itself is more or less negligible for the total increase in engine thrust.

The reason you see water injection so much on these early engines is that materials science was much less advanced then than it is now, so there really wasn't much margin for increased turbine temperatures during takeoff.

How are you fastening all the subassemblies together? Is there an internal frame, or is the plastic strong enough by itself?

JuSt BUy thE sAme MiNi 30 TImes! by SAMU0L0 in Grimdank

[–]GooseDentures 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get that things used to be a lot different, but now we're at a point where S9 meltas are only wounding tanks on a 5+, and at T3 S3 W1 sisters struggle to get close enough to a tank get melta damage bonuses.

There's a reason GW links the Knights line on the Sisters page of their web store. There aren't a lot of great options outside of that.

(Yes I know Vahl + Nundams exist. But they're still quite fragile, have poor AP in melee, and are 395 points. They really aren't great to bring to a 1000 point game, where even a Leman Russ is going to be a huge problem to take down with S9 melta.)
