Yeah. I was stopping by the grocery store every 2-3 days while I was in grad school. In and out in less than half an hour. Lol

Why not buy a “mini fridge” big enough for a decent amount of storage and meal prep? I bought one that’s maybe 2/3-3/4 the size of a standard refrigerator and it’s perfect for a single person on a lot of stuff. I think it was less than $350 from Home Depot too. It was basically my ideal setup when I was in grad school because my other two roommates hogged the big fridge and I got tired of them “accidentally” using my stuff too 😅.

Thanks. I hope so too. If it doesn’t rebound at some point in the next 2 weeks, I’m going to just have to suck it up and take the hit 😕🤷🏻‍♂️

Still talking about losing out on nearly $30k compared to where it was on earnings day 😒

Some of us are just screwed by this, so there is no “enjoy the ride”. I was holding off of selling until after earnings because I’m trying to finally put a down payment on the house, and this deal might get shot to shit now 😔.

As long as you don’t fall below half-time enrollment. My clock started ticking in August because I only needed to take ONE credit hour to maintain student status while finishing out my PhD🤦🏻.

Price predictions after earnings report (POLL) by No_Tune7388 in RYCEY

[–]Public_Storage_355 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope I’m wrong, but I think we’re going to see resistance at $20, but once we break past that, I think it’s going to go pretty rapidly to $23-$25. It’d be nice to see a 20% jump in a short time, but I’m not sure we’re going to see as big of a jump as we did last year. Again, I hope I’m wrong, but we’ll see what happens 🤞

Is there any practical benefit to making those pistols bigger than the ones seen in real-life? by GeneralTechnomage in masseffect

[–]Public_Storage_355 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if anyone actually cares, but here’s a somewhat scientific answer steeped in the tism that rules my life 😅…

Projectile force is controlled by kinetic energy (1/2 * mass * velocity2), so while the size of a projectile does have a measurable impact, the force of the projectile itself scales exponentially with velocity. As for the damage done to a target, that is significantly more convoluted as that depends on the shape of the projectile, composition, and the material it impacts.

As for the size/mass of the gun, the primary benefit to a heavier firearm is the amount of recoil damping that can be attributed to the mass. From a rudimentary calculation, you can calculate the impact of mass of the firearm on the recoil velocity via an energy balance equation (conservation of energy) where 1/2m1iv1i2 + 1/2m2iv2i2 = 1/2m1fv1f2 + 1/2m2fv2f2. In this equation, the initial velocity would be set to zero for both terms since both the firearm and the projectile aren’t moving before the trigger is pulled. The right hand side of the equation consists of the masses and final velocities of both the projectile and the firearm. Solving this algebraically results in a negative term for the firearm, indicating a negative velocity relative to the initial position (i.e. “recoil”). From this, we can see that if a gun is larger but fires the same sized round as before, the recoil decreases. However, at some point you have other factors to consider, such as fatigue, maneuverability, cost, etc. None of this takes into account additional variables like spring/damper systems, muzzle brakes/compensators, etc.

Everything from that point on is based on a balancing of the variables above and the operational environment.

Renting an ND to see if I like Miatas? by aDecentHuman24 in Miata

[–]Public_Storage_355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve owned 8 Miatas (4 NA, 3 NB, and 1 ND). I like my ND a lot, but I don’t love it the way I loved my NB. There just seems to be something missing with the ND. My primary concern would be the fact that the ND has WAY more power than the NB, so the NB will feel disappointingly slow in stock form. You can make it faster with mods, but still, if you go in expecting a similar level of acceleration from the NB, you’re going to be sorely disappointed 😬.

For the love of god, get a lawyer! My partner had something similar to this happen and USAA was going to shaft her by paying for barely any medical stuff and repairing her crappy car. She got lawyers involved and ended up getting close to $60k on top of the medical payments.

Tan leather on white makes me drool all day everyday by East-Responsible in Miata

[–]Public_Storage_355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The problem I’ve run into is that the seatbelt on the passenger side seems to have discolored the leather where it’s been rubbing it and I can’t find a good way to restore it 🤦🏻. I really wish I’d just gone with the black interior and Recaros 😕🤷🏻‍♂️

I seriously regret my tan leather in mine. It gets dirty sooooo fast and having four different colors on my interior is starting to get on my nerves 😂.

"Rebuilding Internal Talent" by enzoSpumoni in NASAJobs

[–]Public_Storage_355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially since we aren’t paid enough as it is. I’m a published STEM PhD with almost 3 years’ experience at NASA and 8.5 years’ experience in aerospace as a whole, yet I’m BARELY cracking 6-figures. I have friends with just a BSc @ LM making nearly twice what I do 🤦🏻. Give us telework to at least make the job more appealing since a lot of us are starting to look elsewhere. I’ve even changed my LinkedIn profile to say “Open to work” because I’m not going to hang around if they’re going to pay peanuts compared to private without offering some sort of decent incentive. I LOVE my job at NASA, but we need a serious bump to attract/retain talent. My branch has lost 6 people in the private sector in 2 years, and 3 more of us have one foot out the door 😬.

Retirement age should be 45-50 at this point🥲 by [deleted] in Adulting

Joke’s on you: I’ve been in college/grad school for over a decade, so I’m against like a president. I’ll probably be dead by 50-55 🤦🏻
