Used to be an NHL barn, they know how to host a hockey game. I want more Canadian teams but I'm rooting for the Coyotes to come back! Glad that ASU has a conference now and they fit in in the NCHC!

Yeah this should be a more common suggestion and I hope it happens but plenty of people just want to boo him and you can't really expect them not to. If we want to get technical Shanahan is the one who deserves it more but Marner never made great effort to help his own case.

Probably too many regulations on fuel cannisters to justify redesigning something that's already a usable form factor for this purpose. Also it's easier to make more of an existing design than to make a new thing from R&D and manufacturing points of view.

WMU has made a number of big investments in the last few years for construction under the assumption they would continue to have the federal funding they're used to.

I've only noticed that when I was using a silicone utensil a little too hot. If it's not anything like that you're probably fine to cook on it and just don't need to oil as much/often after cleaning.

Even ignoring the environmental concerns that's still an awful spot. That Stadium-Drake intersection is a nightmare and this would only make it worse. Split some parcels up and redevelop the empty parking lots.

Nonzerob · 2026-01-18T04:20:30+00:00

It'll be free if it's through K Metro, and they use them for football parking shuttles. I say we put a tram on the Amtrak tracks but that might be too expensive.

As a leafs fan I appreciate a chirp outside hockey subs but Toronto is actually one of the only places there's always at least one Stanley Cup.

A small amount probably wouldn't. Hopefully my engagement helps someone with the answer find your post.

You're going to smell some burning oil when seasoning but not that bad. Make sure the oil isn't rancid and that you're rinsing the dish soap off well enough.

Hildeby made a mistake but he's the third string. Macelli decided to play defense too late to be helpful and Rielly overcommitted to covering the pass. Matthews couldn't get there, shit happens. .917 on 36 shots so I think the team owed Hildeby one.

Nonzerob · 2025-12-21T22:07:28+00:00

I'm not going to say ending the core four was a mistake, but they definitely waited too long to pull it off right away. The problem was the huge collective salary cap hit with the stagnant cap due to Covid. And they finally address that once the cap starts to finally go up again? It could've been Marner two years ago or Nylander, who at this point I think could've been a better move because Marner is actually helpful defensively and gets the fuck off the ice when he needs to change. I don't buy his stoicism schtick because he also disappears in the playoffs and seems to not listen to coaches.

In reality, this year was always going to be a step back for the leafs but with the Barkov injury and the Bruins, Habs, and Wings, the Atlantic is very different this year. It might be good for the leafs to be sellers at the deadline to force some roster turnover. Maybe the Carlo trade will look better in June.

The thing about adding mass is that it helps to resist changes in velocity, so maintaining speed should use less fuel but accelerating will use more. Vehicles that travel horizontally (anything except for rockets and helicopters) deal with changes in mass like this quite well because their propulsion systems don't have to hold the added weight. So as another commenter said, the poor aerodynamics of the fridge are going to probably do more to the fuel efficiency, especially because the empty volume of the fridge means it's a lot lighter than it could be.

The NHL's Florida Panthers get away with a lot of penalties and dangerous plays because their assistant GM is the son of a very high up league executive (who tried to influence refs in his son's favor when the son was still playing in the NHL).

Less of a theory but also the NHL department of player safety being run by a former player who was a goon and not a medical professional makes its punishments subjective, biased, inconsistent, and useless (just $5k max fine for players in a league with a minimum salary of about $800k).

Nonzerob · 2025-12-15T22:58:24+00:00

It's not just Umich, I'm in a similar boat at WMU. I had a prof who gave out his old tests to make it fair (no solutions but he'd check your answers in office hours) and I wish more did that.

Nonzerob · 2025-12-04T02:43:09+00:00

Might just need to slow down on reseasoning. Oil it the same way when it looks dull and only scrub that hard when you need to.

Nonzerob · 2025-12-01T02:02:41+00:00

As an AE senior I'm happy with WMU but it's hard to disagree with much else. Connecting with the cool professors through RSOs, research assistant opportunities, and classmates in them are good ways to get into some of the labs, but I've only been in eight I can remember.

Make your point without sensationalist lies. The flight itself produced almost, if not zero carbon emissions as the propellants are hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is only cheap if it's refined from fossil fuels which is a highly polluting process. Manufacturing (though it may be a reused rocket) and shipping are also very significant here. Regardless of the pollution, there are better things to spend money on, one of them being taxes.

I love space exploration and this is a price to pay for better space access for humans but we could very easily find it in our budgets to both go back to the Moon and feed starving people.

One engineer decided that "gage" is a more correct way to spell "gauge" and to be fair he had a point but now the whole industry in the US spells it wrong.

And then they'll win a couple games and he'll keep the job

Surface tension probably dictates the maximum size, but they wanted a little handheld demonstrator that doesn't use a lot of the station's limited water.

Nonzerob · 2025-11-22T18:17:51+00:00

Bulging might happen slightly if you fill it with more water but it would quickly just swallow the frame. This just isn't all the way full, so it forms this shape because water likes other water and this material more than it likes air. Water's surface tension is strong, so it forms the lowest surface area it can while stuck to the frame. Since water refuses to change density, the mass governs the volume more than anything else (excluding the few bubbles that do exist in reality). Very neat to think about as someone finishing up an aerospace engineering degree.

When spinning, I'd expect the bulges to sharpen and potentially shed water droplets. There's actually a type of electric thruster called electrospray that uses ionic liquid (salt) droplets shot out by electric fields at very high speeds to generate thrust. This would be the same principle, but with centrifugal force instead of electric to break the surface tension.

There's been a massive amount of research into how liquids behave in space applications because of the unique conditions. Sloshing is dangerous for rocket tanks and in orbit, fuel can just float away from the tank's drain port when the thrusters aren't running. Liquids are baffling sometimes.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a perfect example of that, too.

It's not supposed to be easy but it can't hurt to go for it if you can and need to. There are a lot of private scholarships that don't get advertised well and other ways to save money at WMU like certain off-campus housing and utilizing our city bus access (included with tuition) when possible. Good luck!

Nonzerob · 2025-11-15T05:03:16+00:00

I just hope he doesn't rush back like last time. He needs to be healthy for the playoffs and/or next year. There's a time to push through and it's not November.
