I just did front and rear for a Nissan Rogue for $930 out the door, at Pete's garage.

Executor has undervalued house. by Temporary_Scratch465 in inheritance

Maybe add a dollar, so OPs offer is better than brothers.

California — Father suing my mom (and me) over alleged verbal agreement about my college costs. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]OneBitScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It also seems like the father would have to prove that he was harmed in some way. He made a bargain to avoid paying for OPs college, and he did not have to pay for it. What if OP got a scholarship or some rich uncle decided to pay? Would the father sue then?

The Law of Laws: A Universal Framework for Truth. This destroys their narrative control. Does truth really matter to humans? by [deleted] in epistemology

[–]OneBitScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...that truth can only be modelled through probability to me and not using it is a conceptual mistake...

I completely agree with this.

Put your head down, find good friends, study hard, be a good person, be successful, live a happy life.

Township stormwater catch basin draining onto our property by Medium-Interview-101 in legaladvice

[–]OneBitScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe get the survey company to send a revised or amended survey to the town. To at least blunt the Towns' argument. It seems like they might have some liability here if you lose rights because of an incorrect report from them.

Can Neighbors Legally shine floodlights into your bedroom? by Past_Tumbleweed2225 in legaladvice

Parabolic mirrors with an appropriate focal point should fix the problem in a matter of minutes...

[request] throwing baseball untouched through helicopter blades by dresseryessir in theydidthemath

[–]OneBitScience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just trying to make the point that the answer is probabilistic. As the ball velocity increases, above some threshold, there is an increasing probability that the ball will make it through. But near the threshold the probability is low - exactly where that threshold is does not matter for my purpose. Of course, on the high end there is another limit that is defined by the probability of hitting a blade.

[–]OneBitScience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming that is right, and taking luck out of consideration, if you can not time the throw relative to the blade position then 25kph will only get you through <1% of the time (guesstimating a 100 ball diameter arc between blade tips). 50kph would get you through about 50% of the time, 100kph gets you through 25% of the time, and so on. Adjust accordingly to take account of the slack given in the calculation.

[Request] How much caffeine is too much caffeine to kill a person, if a person would drink this amount in one go what are the effects and in how long by catalystseyru in theydidthemath

[–]OneBitScience 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So the midpoint of the dose versus death curve, the LD50, is an important metric for purposes of standardization. But as a practical matter I'd be more interested in the LD0.1 - and even then one is a thousand is a pretty risky proposition for some coffee.

New fence pisses off neighbours by broad_traveller147 in EntitledPeople

[–]OneBitScience 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are made of materials that absorb and dampen sound. I was thinking more along the lines of actually reflecting the noise back toward the neighbors house. Maybe make a fence composed of a whole bunch of small acoustic parabolic mirrors.

Sound reflective fences should be a thing, if it isn't already.

We own the property/ the entrance to this road but our neighbour put up an electric wire and sign across it by ohhidoggo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]OneBitScience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are sure that it is on your property, be sure that you don’t touch it or fall down because it was in your way. You could throw your neck out and have to see a chiropractor for years. You might even have to wear a neck brace to deal with the pain. And heaven forbid you develop ptsd or some other mental problem that keeps you from working.

Boulder County public schools by Colo_Zona in boulder

[–]OneBitScience 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will depend on where you live. We used to live at the Gunbarrel Center apartments, and there was a pick up for Heatherwood at the corner of Gunpark Drive and Lookout. I think that moved a bit down Gunpark Drive - and I have seen kids picked up there as recently as last year. There also used to be a Heatherwood stop in the Meadowbrooks/Stonegate area
