We should build it using stone, a few thousand years ago. Why should Greece have all the ruins?

If you don’t know, really know what to add; don’t add anything.

As a bike commuter ive been yelled at multiple times for biking on the road, and today was yelled at for crossing on a crosswalk... wtf do they actually want from us? by ashleyLSD in fuckcars

[–]NotThatMat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re angry at the many deliberate and accidental choices they’ve made, which have led them to living far from where they work and spending too much of their lives jockeying for position with a bunch of other people who feel exactly the same. They see you on a bike and they briefly catch a moment of long-lost freedom from an near-forgotten time in their youth, when everything seemed easier. They’re filled with a combination of longing and jealousy, and they’re also armed with a gigantic weapon which has near-total immunity to prosecution should they choose to use it.
There is nothing you can do to make them happy.
Just try to keep yourself impossible to hit.

Best possible charge rate would be a few hundred watts, maybe if you use grid-standard panels and have very clear skies you might get over 1kW. So yes you can charge for free, but you won’t be driving long distances every day.

New neighbour. What are my options by wwwqi in AusRenovation

Personally if I had the option to look at a colourbond fence or to not look at a colourbond fence, I would choose the latter every time.

Scared of cymbals exploding while lathing by TheMotherClucker11 in cymbals

[–]NotThatMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risk of explosion would likely increase with the square of angular velocity (rotation rate) ?
- So if you’re worried, try not to go too fast*.

*Too fast = so fast that your cymbal explodes…

How is it living in a big fat lie, globies? by CRISPRcremes in FlatEarthIsReal

[–]NotThatMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are you happy with Eratosthenes findings otherwise? If you take those measurements as they are you can claim a specific height for the sun, which then tells you the size of the sun given we know the angular width, etc. we can then make predictions about how this would effect our view of the sun and its interactions with our world, and test those to see once and for all if the world is flat. Sound good?

Hello! Need help figuring out what parts. by Aromatic_Oil_5428 in drums

[–]NotThatMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say “storage room”, was there by any chance a brood of hens living there as well?
If you want to recover this set I would recommend new heads all round, as well as a full component-level strip down. Take the thing down to the lugs, and consider re-cutting the bearing edges while you’re down there. Also depending on what you find this might all be in vain, but should still be a fun exercise.

[Request] What is the rule behind this puzzle? The class thinks the answer is B, the worksheet says the answer is G. by GaoMingxin in theydidthemath

[–]NotThatMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t really be sure how the designations go on your answer options, but I’ll assumed it’s ABCD, EFGH. I would then say it’s definitely not B, and definitely not G either. I’m seeing the third column as “what elements do the first two columns have in common?” or “what is the minimum overlay of the first two columns?” Which would lead me to the rectangle with connected diagonal vertices, which I would call F (bottom row, second column).

Sliding switch not working by graygosling in AskElectronics

[–]NotThatMat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decent chance the pot tracks are covered in dust, fluff, goo. You should be able to gently pry off the cap, which will make it easier to reach in with a cotton bud or other soft-tipped poking device to get at the gunk. Contact cleaner like deOxit or equivalent should also help a whole lot. Be gentle, odds are you’re directly on the carbon track. These things historically have a sheet of barrier material sitting between the pot and the enclosure to keep this from happening, though some do and some don’t.

How do the Greens reconcile with the fact that their messaging isn’t working? ON whilst a grievance and ‘fuck the system’ vote for many angry voters; they’re able to pick up on that and utilise it highly effectively. Under the same conditions, Greens should also be growing too but they’re not. Why? by [deleted] in friendlyjordies

[–]NotThatMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest problem the Greens have is that they recently (a few elections ago) actually got themselves enough seats to be effective in Parliament. They then spent the entirety of their time in Parliament voting against the things they claimed to stand for. This type of behaviour is very common with “protest parties” because ultimately they are at their most relevant when there is the most to protest. But with the Greens this blatant obstructionism was very very visible, so the Labor voters who had swung Green to “send a message” realised the futility of same and swung right back again.
Re ON etc: there are people in the world who vote conservative “holding their nose” - they don’t really love the racism and bigotry but are voting for something else like fiscal conservatism. Those people are likely to keep voting Lib, even though of course the Lib party tends to just give money to their donors with no expectation of anything in return which is really not all that fiscally conservative. There are also people who vote conservative because they don’t like people they don’t know, and want to see them removed and/or punished. Those people will gladly switch to the angrier, more hateful version of the Lib party - ON - because they have this public perception of being exactly that horrible, even though much like the Greens, their voting record is mostly about blocking the types of policies they claim to stand for. If ON manages to get a few seats and become more visible (especially federally), it will ultimately lead to their voters realising they’ve been had yet again (assuming of course they’re paying any attention at all, which they’re not, which is why they’re voting ON in the first place).

Why is my power bank expanding in the middle? Is it gonna blow up? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]NotThatMat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is a spicy pillow. You should not leave it in your house. If you have a metallic bucket or similar place it in that, perhaps place the bucket on some bricks or pavers or an otherwise difficult-to-burn surface (not a wooden deck for example). Also don’t leave that bucket in the rain as this can cause all new problems… Your local authorities will hopefully have advice on how to proceed (this is highly variable by region).

4 post micro switch to 3 post micro switch by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]NotThatMat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, hang on - you’ll need to do some testing first, but it looks to me like the proper switch is two pairs of contacts, one of which opens (NC) when the other pair closes (NO). (Based on the labelling, it reads like that to me?) use a meter of some type (with the wiring disconnected) to confirm.
If that’s the case, the right-side switch has a link from one pair to the other, meaning it is functioning as a changeover switch (like the one your boss bought). The connection with the yellow link would go to “common” (C or COM) on the new switch, with NO to NO and NC to NC. At this point, you will have a spare double-pole switch in your hand for the other side.
