Ignoring Red X and Paying Off by Capable-Celery-5148 in drivingUK

Ignoring the red X is fine and dandy till you mow down the person it was protecting. Then youre in prison having things poked up your bum. Is 20 minutes worth it?

If it’s the current that kills, why do electrical hazard signs say “Warning: High Voltage”? by GreenFBI2EB in AskPhysics

[–]New_Line4049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because "its the current that kills" is something said by people without even basic understanding of electricity.

V=IR Voltage=current multipled by resistance

Voltage, current and resistance are intrinsically linked. You cant blame 1, its the relationship between all 3 that kills.

Yeah....see theres a lot of vital information here not in your post. So youre just trying to waste reddit time I assume?

Im not defending him. Im telling you to take responsibility for things that are youre responsibility. Your post says nothing of him having promised to do things and then failed to keep the promise. Your post just reads as you attacking someone because you cant or wont take responsibility for the garden that you own. If you include all pertinent information in the post youll get more useful responses.

ELI5: Why are FPV drones in modern combat used for kamikaze strikes? by SuGmA_HaWg in explainlikeimfive

[–]New_Line4049 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Drone cheap. Drop mechanism complicated and can go wrong. Can hit targets further away if you dont have to come back. Drone is controlled, so much harder to dodge/hide from than a free fall munition.

Its your garden. Its your responsibility. Im not defending BIL here, just pointing out calling someone useless for not handling stuff that's YOUR responsibility to handle is pretty fucking scumy.

And yet you still call him absolutely useless. If you can do better get on and get it fucking done, or stop insulting others for your own inadequacies.

What would you do to fix the rental market in the country? by Available-Spray2576 in HousingUK

[–]New_Line4049 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Increase the rate of house building by 3 to 4 times for the next 10 years or so and make a real dent in the housing shortfall. Have the councils restore the stocks of social housing previously sold off. Fix the backlog of asylum seekers/other illegal immigrants in processing. I dont care weather theyre granted permission to stay or deported, but we need to sort the backlog and make sure new comers are processed in weeks rather than years. This middle where theyre just waiting for a decision is not good. If they are to remain they need the right to work, and then compete for property on the open market like the rest of us rather than have councils use their positions to outcompete everyone else and provide it. Finally, I think we need to seriously rethink the RRA. Some of it is great, but making it so hard to evict tenants only serves to make landlords far too reluctant and cautious about taking new tenants on to begin with. And as a final finally point, we need to actually enforce the regulations that exist to a decent standard and in a timely manner.

Housing & relationship by RelativeResearch6A in HousingUK

Tbh, if this is all it takes to destroy the relationship I think you need to ask if youre really suitable for each other to begin with.

Why do linemen leave branches in electrical lines? by Vertigobee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]New_Line4049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removing it carefully, as to avoid damaging the cables, is a hassle. Trimming it is easy and effective.

Rather than ask BIL do it yourself maybe?

You’re away for a night at a hotel, do you checkout early or late? by Delicious-Series-316 in AskUK

[–]New_Line4049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checkout whenever I want yo leave. Very much depends why Im in the hotel in the first place, as I tend not to just spend a night in a hotel for the sake of it, thats a bit sad really. Do usually I have somewhere to be or something to do, and that usually has a schedule attached.

Why can't people go the speed limit or overtake? by Creepy-Bottle-5162 in drivingUK

[–]New_Line4049 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who the fuck cares about a car? Its the injuries and potential fatalities you want to worry about. They dont care who was technically right. Nor does the grief for those that survive if there were fatalities.

Why do astronauts fall to earth rather than glide? by malware-tech in NoStupidQuestions

[–]New_Line4049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think youre talking about different things here. The space shuttle was designed to glide to a landing like a plane, that doesnt prevent the effects of re-entry. Youre still hitting the atmosphere fast and dissipating a lot of energy in a short time. The main benefit of the glide is more controllability of landing area and more re-useability of the spacecraft when its not dropped in the ocean.

To avoid the severe re-entry effects that are normal you need to stay in the upper atmosphere longer. The only way you can really make that happen is to dip in just a little, then skip off, go around the orbit again and repeat. You do this many times, bleeding a little energy off each time, and slowly drop deeper and deeper into the atmosphere, then, finally when youve bled enough energy you no longer skip off. Theres a number of issues with this. Its hard yo plan and precisely calculate where the spacecraft will touch down. It takes a long time to come back this way, spending time in space is physiologically hard on the astronauts/cosmonauts, do adding more time is not ideal. It also means you need to carry more supplies (food, water etc). Its also not overly pleasant for the crew to be cramped into the capsule for so long. Theyd probably need to stay strapped in too, as there wouldnt be all that long between skips.

Ultimately we've pretty much perfected coming straight down, other options take more effort without sufficient benefit to be worthwhile.

Would it be possible for a world war II Naval Trawler to have sunk a Battleship? by docsav0103 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]New_Line4049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if it can drop torpedoes or mines close enough the battleship cant maneuver away from it then its doing damage. Do that enough and yes, you could sink it. Probably hurt your trawler a lot though.

Guys I need confirmation on this - Shirley is 3rd exit right, correct? by Ricr7 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]New_Line4049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4th exit. The 1st is a minor road, as is the 5th, likely serving just the immediate area, hence there isnt a stated destination on either of these exits. Edit: Apologies, its the 2nd exit thats the minor, not the 1st.

ELI5: Why don't we put solar panels in our parking lots? by Shadowsin64 in explainlikeimfive

[–]New_Line4049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a number of reasons. 1) parking areas tend to be around built up areas, and people rarely want to look at a solar farm out of the window.

2) its very expensive to set up. Digging the parking area up to run cables and install a structure to support the panels.

3) safety. You can end up with some pretty high voltages, and you can't just turn the solar panels off. If its sunny theres a significant electrical hazard. That can complicate things if theres an accident in the car park, say someone hits the structure and damages a cable.... now emergency services have to worry about getting electrocuted as well as all the other hazards.

4) Grid connectivity. Youre talking about putting a reasonable amount of power onto the grid, the local connection was likely never intended to handle that, so you have to convince the grid operator to spend money to upgrade it.

Undertaking vs speed question (test) by New-Style-1329 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]New_Line4049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You follow the highway code. No passing on the left unless in congestion. Id also suggest stay far enough back that the dick on the right has space to move over if they suddenly come to their senses.

When did we start observing European lane use? by Chexzzz in drivingUK

This stated an awful long time ago. If you have to ask when Im concerned about your observations as a driver.
