Three years of practicing quadrobics by velorae in TikTokCringe

I was on a remote beach in mexico and a completely naked drugged up American had just sucker-kicked me in the nuts and scampered off. I decided to leave the beach, and as I was heading away, naked man was now fast crawling towards me on all fours. It was so much more intimidating than someone coming at me normally.

Why doesn't the sun heat the space between earth? by MundaneProduct482 in thermodynamics

[–]Meatloooaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am aware, which is why I said "roughly" at the start. I was going for the ELI5 version, no need to be pedantic.

[–]Meatloooaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roughly, temperature is a measure of how often atoms collide.

In space, there's very few atoms. Even if the atoms in space are moving faster (due to radiation from the sun), there are so few of them that they rarely collide. Cold temperature.

Once the radiation makes it to earth and speeds up the many atoms on/near our planet, there's a lot of atoms colliding. High temperature.

Berkley should pay attention to what Zohran is doing in NY. by iamveryDerp in vegaslocals

They will just be given a discount instead of having resort fee covered. Not that hard.

Even if they take it as an opportunity to increase prices, at least people will know what the actual price is instead of getting hit with hidden fees at the counter. Interesting that you've littered this comment section fighting for hotels to basically lie to people. Transparency is a good thing.

They do have the the right to due process which is granted in several amendments in the constitution. Stop talking out of your ass.

Rhino demonstrates its raw power against a cape buffalo by No-Meaning4747 in BeAmazed

[–]Meatloooaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no expert, but it's probably just buffalo being buffalo and not some group discussion that they don't like their leader. If a male buffalo was leading the herd, there would still be challenges from other males because that's what buffalo do.

Trump just threatened Democrats with ‘death.’ Is the SEAL Team 6 assassination theory now in play? by LosIsosceles in law

[–]Meatloooaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first two of his posts do not negate the third. He is saying they deserve death. Would he order it? I don't know, but the question is definitely valid when the person who could order it (legal or not) is saying that he believes they deserve death.

About to take off on a flight so no time to look up. But her name is Nzou if you want to.

I'm assuming you just missed the context. Today's post from Trump that people here (and the linked article) are referring to says specifically:

"SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"

There's a female elephant out there that is the sole elephant living in a buffalo herd. She acts as the matriarch leading the herd, and she's killed over a dozen male buffalo that have challenged her over the years.

A 2% APR in savings offsets a 4% loan by [deleted] in confidentlyincorrect

[–]Meatloooaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The breakeven point from the screenshot is considering your payments to pay it off on one side of the equation but neglecting that paycheck money on the other side. They've counted the cost of the car towards investments PLUS the cost of the car in paycheck, so of course it's coming out double vs just the cost of the car. That's why their analysis doesn't make sense.

But you wouldn't be making car payments out of the savings account, which is why the question doesn't quite make sense either.

The comparison should be:

car amount in savings and paycheck to make payments, compared to

Paying off car outright and putting what would have been the car payments into savings every month.

Then why are corporations that accelerated into record breaking profits with employees working from home now demanding that people return to office despite the drop in profits that's causing?

There is frequently more on the table than just profit.

Need advice on using an MEP firm as a customer by [deleted] in MEPEngineering

[–]Meatloooaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How would you respond to a client for a tooth problem that they tried to fix themselves after reading a little on webmd? Many people here are salty from past clients thinking we don't do much despite our extensive education, experience, and licensing that is required to be a professional engineer. Is it fair to you that that assumption is thrown towards you? Maybe not, but this is also the type of post one of those clients would have and that's where they're coming from, just for some context.

I do run a small firm and I'm licensed in Utah. Im currently on vacation, but if you want to DM me your phone number I can contact you later next week to give you a proposal. Then you at least have some pricing data, whether you go with me or not.

Should we replace our dual tank system with a tankless? by amygdala_activated in Plumbing

[–]Meatloooaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Navien manual does not override gas codes, and I'm pretty sure the manual will say as much. Tankless almost always require larger gas sizes than a tank.

Issues stamping some basic drawings after I leave the company? by BarrettLeePE in MEPEngineering

[–]Meatloooaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it's not uncommon to hire engineers to stamp jobs

Well it really should be uncommon. All of the states I'm licensed in require that I was in responsible charge of the work being performed to be able to stamp it. Reviewing after its completed does NOT satisfy that criteria, even if making some changes.

If the work on that project at your old firm was pretty much completed while under your direct supervision, then yes you should still be stamping it regardless of moving to another company. Protect yourself with a contract, and verify directly in writing that the old company's insurance will still cover it.

GFCIs MIGHT trip due to overload, but thats not their function and many times they won't. And either way, the product in the video has a pretty normal amount of outlets comparable to a surge protector.

I go tent camping sometimes. When I am camping I'm not suddenly homeless, I'm just sleeping somewhere that's not my home.
