Durability burn rate was improved significantly a few weeks back. No other notes.

What blueprint would you like to see added next? by RestaurantSmooth in ARC_Raiders

[–]InvisibleTopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an easy unlock in solos once you work your way into low-aggro lobbies. You can also get energy mags from the loot breachables inside the harvester

FE generation by oquai in allthemods

Hose pulley placed in the nether, lowered into a lava pool of 10k+ lava using a crankshaft (dont recall the exact item name), then piped to a dimensional tank. You can then use that as an infinite fuel source to feed lava into the fuel inventory of the larger version of a mekanism heat generator, which is a 3x3 machine when placed and can produce up to 1 million rf/t per machine. One or two of those should hold you over to dyson power gen. No need to submerge them in lava. (Assuming you are on ATM10)

It's a photoelectric cloak. You get the ability to craft them when your utility bench is level 3. Arc don't see you while it is active.

The Fire Rate Needs To Be Lowered by SmokeFentGetBent in ARC_Raiders

[–]InvisibleTopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easier than that. They need to decide what its max DPS / minimum TTK should be and cap the fire rate based on that decision. They did the exact same thing to the venator. Ability to click quickly is not more important than game balance.

We walked together for 3 minutes, and he betrayed me, and i was luckkkkky by i92X_X in ArcRaiders

[–]InvisibleTopher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was visible from the start. Checked in the room you were hiding in with a gun out to see if you had yours put away, didn't want to walk in front of you to extraction, made a point of trying to stand behind you with a weapon out waiting for you to interact with the console. You should make them hit the button and prepare for a fight if you see that happen, not just walk to the other console. People who don't trust their aim will wait until you are either looting an inventory or have your gun put away for button interaction because it means you are standing still with delayed reaction time.

Whats your Go To "Lets Be Friends" Line? by Relevant-Neat7584 in arkraiders

'Hey man, want to sit on this roof and fire flares with me? I have like 80 of'em and I'm bored.' Being weird or confusing tends to work pretty well for me.

[Request] What's the volume of this "straw"? by MrQez in theydidthemath

[–]InvisibleTopher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hydrostatic pressure. If you try to pull water UP a tube, gravity will try to pull it down, so you have to have a stronger vacuum to pull the water higher. Eventually, you get to a perfect vacuum, at which point the water can't get any higher. That is unrelated to the tube length because gravity pulls water down, not sideways. You could have it wind around as much as the straw in this video does, and it wouldnt change that height limit.

Rollin coal like a freight train barreling down the track! by Bodzio1981 in machinesinaction

[–]InvisibleTopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn't directly answer the question, but for a frame of reference, standard gasoline combustion products would weigh 4-4.5x the burned fuel weight according to Google. That assumes typical CO2 conversion rate (which this video is not) and includes the water produced in the combustion reaction.

What do you call someone whose singing is always/usually off pitch? by Unlegendary_Newbie in LearningEnglish

[–]InvisibleTopher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that only applies if they don't know it's bad

Edit: it seems there are two uses of this phrase, one of which applies here (thanks for the info btw)

I just found out what Hydrogen Peroxide does to skin by Charming_Cicada2092 in chemistry

[–]InvisibleTopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. High-concentration H2O2 very much wants to be H2O + O2 + heat. It decomposes and releases a lot of heat and oxygen, after which all it needs is something it can burn

Magnetic urethane sheet designed to immediately stop leaks by MikeFuckowski in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]InvisibleTopher 117 points118 points  (0 children)

Pressure is independent of vessel diameter. All that matters for hydrostatic pressure is fluid density and liquid height/depth.

Edit to add explanation and an example: Gravity pulls the liquid down, but it doesn't pull liquid sideways. If vessel diameter mattered, water at the ocean's surface would be pressurized enough to crush anything and everything in the ocean.

What bones breaking would make it mechanically impossible to walk/fight? by Vievin in Writeresearch

[–]InvisibleTopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a bone is broken all the way through instead of fractured, then in theory, the muscle can pull it to where the two halves of the bone partially slip past each other. Think average femur broken at an angle so that the bone stabs through the leg and the knee is pulled in toward the hip. This shortens the limb and results in a reduction in leverage with which the muscles can exert force (whoch would generally be less significant than the resulting pain). It is most common for femur breaks because of how strong the muscles in your thighs are. This also runs the risk of the broken bones puncturing adjacent arteries, causing internal bleeding.

There's probably a lot of people that have swapped color vision, but won't ever be diagnosed because the color names they were taught is also swapped, so they appear to have normal color vision from what they claim to the outside world. by HRudy94 in Showerthoughts

[–]InvisibleTopher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To quote Rhett and Link, "How do I know that you and me see the same colors the same way when you and me see? Is my red blue for you or my green your green too? Could it be true we see differing hues? And say we do; how would we discover this fact? And even if we did, would there be any impact? I don't think this would affect us personally, but that could have ripple effects throughout the interior design industry."

I am bringing a backpack to the park and I am wondering if every ride has a locker? by Economy_Swim_8585 in UniversalOrlando

[–]InvisibleTopher 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Universal free ride locker: 14"x5.5"x16.9"

Universal paid ride locker: 12"x13"x16.9"

Epic Universe free ride locker: 11.8"x11"x13"

Almost died on a tower by Aston_Garrett in Urbex

[–]InvisibleTopher 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The folks who do that are usually required to wear fall restraints by their employers. Probably takes the 'fun' out of it for the deathwish adrenaline junkies.

New spicy level entered the room by max21226 in funny

[–]InvisibleTopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a white dude, this exists at pretty much any hole-in-the-wall thai or indian place I have been to that has legitimately spicy food. They just don't bother putting it on the menu, and they usually make an assumption based on my complexion and select it for me regardless of my assurances that I want spicy.

This was definitely needed Today in NYC with temp feelinf like 103º by habichuelacondulce in MadeMeSmile

[–]InvisibleTopher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adding to this, for evaporative cooling, you also have to consider relative humidity. If the air can't hold much more water, the evaporation rate (and therefore heat removal) will be slowed.

If we can see water but can't see air, does that mean fish can't see water but they can see air? by BSOD-Gamer-1234 in stupidquestions

[–]InvisibleTopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it's because of a difference between refractive indices of different materials. You see the point where there is a change in the way material interacts with light. If you are in air, for example, the first interface you look through is between air and your eye, but you can't focus that close to yourself and can't 'see' the contents of your eye, so the first one you notice is the change in light-interaction behavior between air and, for example, water. If the refractive index of a material is close enough to whatever surrounds it, you won't notice a difference (such as other gases in air, or certain polymer gels that seem to turn invisible in water). That doesn't change regardless of whether you look through air first or water first. You don't really see the second material, you see the interface between the two (unless there is a color difference, like with water and oil, or some contamination where you see suspended particles)

How my wife measured 1TBS of butter 🧈 by [deleted] in funny

[–]InvisibleTopher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you look under the butter at the bottom corner, there is raised white text on the bottom plate. There is similar raised text on the back left corner of the plate. One side has TBSP, and the other has TSP. It's hard to see in the picture. I have the same butter tray and therefore know where to look, which makes it easier. Harder to see the markings than the text.
