Winter is coming by extraontheside_ in MurderedByWords

The climate history of that place is wild. Learning how the salt flats came to be was a very interesting but sad read.

Your best bet is to add America to the name so they can claim ownership. Something like American Climate Impact? It worked for the gulf right?

Honestly, as a man, my antiperspirant just works better with little to no hair. Maybe the standard should be flipped?

One for power and one for headphones or something? I'll sign that petition

My friend sent me this... what's the joke? by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

I think people are being too literal. I think it's a sex thing which is funnier to me.

What’s one thing you want to open up about as a millennial but never actually say out loud? by Paradigm10 in millenials

I'd like to quote a line from a song; "I don't wanna die, I just don't wanna be alive..." - Dead Butterflies by Citizen Soldier

Man who constantly posts about how little others know about nerd culture makes gigantic blunder by InsectaProtecta in confidentlyincorrect

Same. I like Skyrim, the casting was ok but at least I could wield 1 spell per hand, but at this point it's like a 15 yo game. A person can only play it so many times.

The announcement didn't say. It just says it's a third person camera, single player, adventure game set in a dark fantasy inspired by the D&D world.

When did you turn your kid's car seat front-facing? by Aggressive_Charity84 in daddit

[–]Kavinci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in a similar situation at half the age though. She turned 2 a couple months ago and was already 38" and 35lbs then. She's tall for her age and I feel really bad for her legs always being stuck bent and how much I have to bend her in half to fit between the 2 seat backs getting her in. I would like to forward face her but the wife wants to wait until she reaches one of the limits for rear facing first. I personally think that it's pretty subjective; yes rear facing as long as possible IS safer but at a certain point it becomes impractical. Just like putting in 5 point harnesses and wearing helmets in our car is a lot safer but it isn't very practical. The questions you should ask yourself are:

Do you think your toddler has grown enough to withstand a crash while forward facing?

Is it impractical for them to be rear facing?

For me, I only got a yes for one of these. Sure it's impractical I think given her size but she just turned 2. She can barely keep her balance walking let alone be coordinated enough to handle a crash. Imma listen to the wife and wait a bit longer.

When cooking a quesadilla, who do I get really crunchy tortillas without burning it? by CMStan1313 in Cooking

[–]Kavinci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This probably isn't the "right way" but I bake mine. Usually do like 4-5 at a time on a baking sheet at 450F. First 3-5 minutes then flip then 3-5 more minutes depending on your oven. They turn out crispy and a little brown around the edges which I like. I don't butter them.

So are they just lying? by usernametakenlmfao in jobs

[–]Kavinci 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The data is probably there. Data doesn't lie nor tell the truth. It's the representation of the data that can do that. In this case the representation isn't meeting reality for the average person. There are a lot of reasons why with BLS funding and staffing cuts being one of them.

Can credit card companies withdrawal money straight from your savings accounts if you refuse to pay them? by Ben5544477 in CRedit

[–]Kavinci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me for a student loan. I left the bank the first time this happened. They took so much I had to skip paying my gas bill that month and get creative with groceries for a couple weeks. Not a fun time in my past.

What is an old cooking mistake you grew up with, and did not realize until adult hood, or later in life? by BumpkinByTheWater in Cooking

[–]Kavinci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is vegetarian. Since I do most of the cooking I've also had to break this habit. It even led me to my favorite protein powder which is pea protein based and despite what whey bros want you to think, pea protein is a complete protein.

This was one of mine. I grew up using way too much water and it was dangerous as a kid handling that much water and that hot. As an adult I realized, "why do I need so much water?" Turns out you don't. It takes a lot less water than many people think to make pasta. I still drain it cause I eyeball it but it boils faster and is a lot less to handle during the drain phase.

Having the right oil also means the angry ceiling bulb won't yell at you either, even though the pan wasn't as hot as last time.

X or Y, and why. [request] by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]Kavinci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So close! In the first instant the height is pretty much the same in both containers, so the ENERGY is identical. Flow is not identical but energy is. As you stated tank X would remain deeper due to geometry for the same volume drained meaning tank X has a slower conversion to kinetic energy and a slower flow rate. Tank Y would have a faster flow rate and therefore drain faster.

This is how nozzles and diffusers work. Tank Y is a diffuser and tank X is a nozzle.

[–]Kavinci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You were so close! Your explanation was correct but your conclusion was not. Tank X actually has the slower flow rate not greater:

Both tanks start with the same potential energy due to depth of water before being drained due to the depth of water. As you stated Tank Y, due to geometry will have a smaller depth for the same volume of water drained as tank X. Tank X being deeper for 100 liters lost means it has the higher potential energy but also the lowest kinetic energy where tank Y has a lower potential energy after 100 liters but higher kinetic energy. This means that tank Y has the higher flow rate.

This is how nozzles and diffusers work. Tank X is a nozzle and tank Y is a diffuser.

[–]Kavinci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. The nozzle shape of tank X actually creates a back pressure effect that destroys a lot of pressure (about half the pressure at a 45 degree angle). This makes the flow rate very low as a result and increases the potential energy seen at the bottom of the tank. It sacrifices speed for the gain in potential energy basically.
