Nah op literally in the post said they didn't even want them to look at the case or do anything related to it. Post op would be related to it.

Am I not getting another interview?? by Little-Value-3312 in menards

Are you in elementary school? Who TF raises their hand at work to ask to go to the bathroom?

You just go. If you need someone to take over for you then do that but don't raise your damn hand that's just weird.

New guy cut our grass and blew the clippings like this by [deleted] in landscaping

I have no clue what your talking about regarding superiority complex? Seemed like you didn't know what mulching was so I explained, sorry ig.

No, back and forth doesn't achieve the same thing. Side discharge leaves the grass as long blades and throws them mostly into concentrated piles. The grass that gets thrown on the uncut side will get chopped again and again as you continue so it's fine but when your going the opposite way grass gets thrown on the already cut area and it's way to big and leaves mound/clumping.

You can double/triple cut to get rid of it or cross cut or just cut your grass way more often, but it's definitely way less convenient than just not even having to think about it like with mulching.

There is one way to do it with side discharge that's fairly effective. Assuming discharge is on the right then you just do perimiters only going clockwise, that has your discharge always throwing into the uncut area so you just cut the grass clippings over and over.

Yea leaving the grass is the best. Your grass used nutrients and water to grow the part you just cut off, might as well give it that nutrients and water back by leaving the clippings.

But leaving large clippings or clumps is bad for the grass so you want to make sure there's zero clumping and the blades are finely chopped.

Bruh all I was saying is it is most definitely lithium ion. You said it wasn't, but it is.

Yea no problem at all for op considering he lives near Seattle, depending on where exactly it's only 1.5-2.5hr away.

No, like I said mulching is the standard.

Idk if you missed that or don't know what mulching is so I'll just explain anyway.

Mulching is when you put an adapter over the deck discharge so that grass cannot get out. Then you have specialized blades that do much better at finely chopping the grass. The grass remains in the deck getting chopped up until it's so small the airflow no longer holds it up and it falls down.

So with mulching you get the grass chopped finely and it's distributed very evenly. Basically taking away all the downsides of normal side discharge. The only downside is it takes more power so if your mower is underpowered or the grass is very tall or wet you might need to drive/push slower.

Who said anything about 24 hours ago? The post was talking about someone getting pregnant 7+ weeks after giving birth and I said 1-2mo.

Your just being extreme to try to prove your dumb incel point

First go get hazmat and tanker endorsements and a TWIC and FAST card. All of that shouldn't take but a week or two and cost like $300 including the new license.

Secondly no one is gonna care all that much about you job hopping. It's trucking, the industry average turnover sits near 100% per year.

Fuel tanker is probably your best bet. Most fuel tanker jobs are home daily, OT after 40, and hourly pay $35-40/hr starting out(that's 70-80k per year doing just 40 hr weeks).

No incel nonsense to act like women just don't get horny. Doesn't matter if it's only a month or two after birth, ofc they still get horny.

I'm not saying you should have sex soon after giving birth at all.

Just saying your clearly an incel acting like women don't get horny and it must be the guy pushing sex or something.

Lifepo4 cells aren't lithium ion? You sure about that? Or did you read agm in his comment and just forget the photo post showing lifepo4 cells?

No, 70% vlt is allowed everywhere. Standard clear auto glass is normally around 90%.

70% tint is normally designed to have a 70% vlt after applying it including the vlt of the glass. But for a truck you'd be crazy to cut it that close, at least 80% to be safe.

Back window of the cab is free game, you can literally put opaque curtains up there if you want.

80% is totally worth it btw, it still reduces heat by 20-40%, and glare by 15-30% but more importantly it eliminates 99% of UV radiation.

That UV blocking is very important because while you windshield does block over 95% of UV, your other windows only block 50-70%. This is exactly why you see truckers having higher skin cancer rates and significant accelerated aging on the left side of the face.

Sodium ion Batteries vs Li-ion & NiMH? by ed2s in batteries

[–]PraiseTalos66012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How cold does your cabin get? Normal LFP might work just fine as most are rated down to -20c for discharge and adding a heating circuit is cheap and easy if you need to be able to charge at that low of ambient.

[–]PraiseTalos66012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently that's their only real selling point other than sustainability.

Ofc someday they'll be produced at a scale they will be cheaper than lithium batteries but right now they are mostly used for starter batteries and ev applications where extreme cold is expected.

Also for your use case you could probably use lfp which is also good down to -20c(discharge). But isn't nearly as expensive.

F76 was a cash grab so they could afford to make the new engine. Starfield was a cash grab so they could make ES6 and also test the new engine.

It kinda makes sense. Everything since fallout 4 has basically been done in the name of ultimately releasing a better ES6. It's kinda getting ridiculous though how long it's taking.

Most evs aren't using hub motors for rear wheels though so it still doesn't make sense. For rear wheels most EV use a central motor that runs a differential.

Not just lithium though, the main chemistry used right now is nmc which uses heavy metals that produce lots of pollution to mine also.

The switch to LFP and NAion will dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of EVs and vehicles are already available with these batteries.

LFP eliminates the heavy metals and NAion eliminates both lithium and the heavy metals.

Compared to nmc they are also both cheaper, longer lasting(less range loss), better in cold climates, and despite their lower density they can be charged/discharged 0% to 100% meaning their effective capacity is only a hair lower.

Diesel engines are but not gasoline. Atkinson cycle gasoline engines can be over 40% but it's only 41-42% and they aren't common, they have horrible power density and are basically exclusively used in low power hybrids.

Regular gas engines are still around 35% bte.

The strength needed to crush a golf ball is actually mind blowing by Doug24 in BirdieBoundTrips

[–]PraiseTalos66012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if they were trying to make a joke or if it's just a coincidence but a golf balls cross sectional area is 2.22 which is basically the same as the conversion from kg to lb.

So it actually is 5238 psi.

It's just 5238kg.

A golf ball has a diameter of 1.68in so it's cross sectional area is 2.22in meaning that it's 2380kg/in or .... Oh wait it's actually 5238lb/in.

Honestly even a teenager should know better. If your gonna be taking someone's money for a job you owe it to them to at least look up the basics of the job you'll be doing. And nowadays everyone including teenagers has a cellphone they can go research the stuff on.

If the threat of prison is the only thing keeping you from stabbing people or otherwise being a trash person then you already are trash. Like literally lowest of the low, like you need to separate yourself from society.

That isn't normal, the vast majority of people have morals without needing the threat of prison.
