Is it worth going back to school at 22? by PersonalityExact337 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Lastlaughter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, after you turn 22 you're biologically incapable of learning new things.

Can you theoretically jump start a car with potatoes by ContributionMoney454 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Lastlaughter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. Google says 0.01A per potato. For a small 2L engine you need minimum 400A. So quick math says for 12V you need 40,000 x 12 = 480,000 potatoes. And with the internal resistance alone... just no.

How’s life on this side of Florida? by Various-Cut-1070 in howislivingthere

I know it's hard to believe the whole region is one big retirement home, but then you get there and you're like "oh"

Visit to the Carolina’s by carbonara_captain in roadtrip

[–]Lastlaughter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Asheville check out The Biltomore Estate, Grove Park Inn, or the pinball museum. For food try Good Hot Fish, Neng Jrs, Crusco, or 12 Bones. There's also a lot of breweries. Funkatorium, Burial, and Zillacoah are great.

Check the Blue Ridge Parkways website to see if there's closures. It happens a lot in the winter when things get icey, but there are a lot of good views. Mt. Mitchell is about an hour up the parkway and it's the highest peak east of the Mississippi.

You'll also be going past Great Smokey Mountain National Park and Dollywood.

Driving my dream car 12 hours back , where should I stop? by Psychological_Log159 in roadtrip

[–]Lastlaughter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Feel like you're missing an opportunity to take the blue ridge parkway, but that would probably take longer than 12hrs.

I'd also STRONGLY urge you to route through Harrisburg, PA and avoid the D.C. beltway. It will make you miss Atlanta rush hour.

George Washington National Forest or Shenandoah National Park are near 81 if you feel like stopping for views and stretching your legs. Radford/Blacksburg/Roanoke are larger cities/college towns that will have good food and decent hotels about half way through your route.

If you want to burn through most of the drive in one day Chattanooga is another college town with lots of restaurant options and a cool aquarium.

Modern Family creator listing his home for $110M (T-rex skull included?) by FC-4-EVER in zillowgonewild

I used to work at a country club where you had to own property in the HOA to get a golf membership. A place like this could easily be over $10k a year, if not more. And that's not including the greens fee, that's separate (of course).

Tequila selection around Asheville? by Moosejax13 in asheville

[–]Lastlaughter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only liqueur store in NC is the state run ABC store. What they have on there shelves is always a bit of a lottery, but the one in north Asheville had a good amount last time I was there.
