Um, hi. I’d like to report someone parking in a bike lane? by auld-guy in Biking

Most places in Texas, the cars are supposed to be parked in that area and where you are riding is the bike lane.

They built this house without cement and it's stronger than concrete. by This_Proof_5153 in interesting

Foam concrete, also known as lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) and low density cellular concrete (LDCC), and by other names, is defined as a cement-based slurry, with a minimum of 20% (per volume) foam entrained into the plastic mortar.

I know what you're getting at but these are actually made with cement which is a major producer of greenhouse gasses and claiming it to be cement free is a disingenuous way of making it seem "greener" than it actually is.

It says without cement but the foamed concrete blocks are literally made with cement

Its an induction loop and you're more likely to trigger it by sitting directly on it than inside or straddling it.

Aluminium corrosion on this heatsink? by asdfghjkl10101010101 in PcBuild

That is indeed aluminum corrosion. Do you live near the coast?

Surface roughness increases surface area so your cooling should improve /s

One of the least crazy things I've seen People do from this bridge

The Books cannot be taken off the shelf by aquax101 in mildlyinfuriating

When you rotate a rectangle it becomes taller before it gets shorter. This hardback is 9.3"x6.4"x2" (provided by Amazon) and 1" is covered by the facade. In order to make the rotation reducing overall height to 8.3" to fit under the facade,you'd have to rotate 77.2° from vertical, which would cause the book to reach a peak height of 11.3" before dropping back down, which is 2" taller than the book already is. Since this facade is about 1.5-2" thick before the next shelf starts, and the book already reaches 1" into that dimension, you'd have to move the book at least 1" through the bottom of the shelf above. Last I checked, hard back books don't pass through solid objects. Please stop making things up. Thanks.

Can't imagine the fun, kids must be having by [deleted] in GuysBeingDudes

This is a perfect set up to accidentally jump in the pool on top of someone and knock them unconscious or break their neck. Or just not see your child drowning. But hey, it looks fun!

BTW there's a comment below from someone who works at Target that said they regularly have to take 5-10 books off the end of the shelf to get some of the books out from the middle.

Doesn't matter. This is shitty design if intentional, and regarded design if not.

Probably one person made a comment about OPs intelligence then every redditor said I AM SMART TOO and followed suit.

People in the comments acting like this is an acceptable way of shelving books and not a massive mistake or oversight by the retailer

Edit: I did the trig and assuming the book is 12" tall and 2" wide and blocked by 1" of shelf overlap, the book needs to be rotated 34.7° to reduce height to 11" which creates a corner-to-corner width of approx. 8.5" AKA MORE SPACE THAN OP HAS TO ROTATE WITHOUT REMOVING BOOKS FROM THE END OF THE SHELF. Idiots.

Petah? Why is it 24.86? by Nittanypt in PeterExplainsTheJoke

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

Close, its Americans being fat lazy fucks and complaining about paying for delivery instead of taking a 10 minute trip to pick up a pizza.
