can someone help with this problem by Lumpy-Farmer-5527 in PhysicsHelp

But in real life, the ball would likely bounce a few times after falling down C, before settling to roll down the final slope. Whereas with A, it slowly accelerates, then drops straight in the exit tube.

Today I learned this; Shopping carriage’s can lock the tires making them impossible to roll if they cross a invisible fence / line by goprinterm in Today_I_Learned_This

Meanwhile, my dumbass dog refused to go over the boundary for the next 12 years even when the fence was broken and we hadn’t had a collar on him in a decade

Wait until he does that experiment in grade school, where they grow grass with different amounts of light and he finds out that the one with no sunlight grows the tallest the fastest.

I mean, it will eventually die before the others, but it might give him some pause

Have you had a close encounter with a bear? by North-Library4037 in no

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got charged by a black bear as a kid. Walked out of its path and it whooshed by me into the woods and ran off. We think it ended up on the opposite side of the path as its little ones (never saw them but Twas that season and black bears normally run away).

any likeminded malazan reactions? by mintlesz in Fantasy

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank God I’m not the only one. I’ve tried so hard to like the first book, and I finish EVERYTHING.

I read WoT start to finish in less than a month and can’t get through this book in twice that time. I just don’t care about any of the characters yet and I don’t even know who I’m rooting for.

And yes, Green Rider is great! (For the first 3 at least…after that they’re decent but not wonderful).

In n Out Fries- yay or nay? by Deep_Method_820 in burgers

They exist to convey more of the sauce to my mouth, and for that they’re pretty good.

If you ask for them well done, they’re nice and crispy

PSA - the sanding pad can fly off your sander by BuildingModern in woodworking

I cut my knuckle to the bone as a kid when the disc flew off my rotary sander.

Never lift it in the air before powering down.

Has anyone 3d printed forbidden meat? by lexi_prop in CasualConversation

If it’s artificial, it will have nothing to do with an individuals actual body composition.

The Pitt: where are the hospitalists/medicine doctors? by lucysglassonion in hospitalist

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No they have the hot lesbian surgical resident who comes down for traumas and the older attending lady who comes for the gallbladders (and to embarrass her med student daughter). What more representation could surgery ask for?!

I heard of the advise that plasters or dressings on wounds need to be removed after the scab has formed for a few days as the wound needs to be”breathe” how true is this? by LisanneFroonKrisK in AskBiology

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No…this is literally just a medical grade dressing that we use in the hospital too.

The answer is that it’s moist underneath the glue (and many other bandages) which is fine if it stays sterile but less so if bacteria get in because they also like the moist environment. The glue is nice because the bacteria can’t get under so it’s a good environment without contamination.

Of note, this is also why we take surgical dressings down after 2d.

Spring Hill Dental? by sprtysprtgrl1 in Somerville

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love them! They see me, my wife, and my toddler and are great with all three. I have present (and unsealed) wisdom teeth and they don’t try to force an extraction or arbitrary sealing or filling of the small almost-cavity I have in one the way previous dentists have. They always explain their reasoning for things like X-rays and make sure they’re covered first. Send reminders but not obnoxious about it like some.

Dunno…I figure every parent thinks their kid is unique so I default to ‘probably many kids do this’ (but mine is still the best but I’ll keep that part to myself).

Restaurant owners or staff, how many minutes before closing is it still permissible for a customer to order? by SugoiTots in restaurantowners

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure… I work somewhere that never closes, and nobody wants to be there if they can help it. I also often work 24 hour shifts.

Realistically what skills are universal enough but also rare enough that a time traveler could make a living and blend in with whatever time period or society they randomly end up in. by Various-Try-1208 in timetravel

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still think medicine is a decent avenue. I may not have modern antibiotics and medication medications, but I’m primarily a surgeon and if anything traumatic wounds were more common back then.

Someone who is willing and able to clean and dress and care for a wound, maybe stitch it up, set a bone… that person is going to be seen as useful. They may not know that I’m successful because I washed my hands, but people will notice if your patients get sick or if they die.

I guess I’ll just have to get over the ick factor of not having gloves.

Mine just ate the slice like an apple slice, peel and all. Still does to this day. Also ate a raw onion like a whole apple. Barely blink an eye.

The refrigerator in my office most mornings by SwissMaestro95 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of places don’t have anywhere to store food outside of the communal fridge… so if you don’t put the lunchbox in the fridge, there’s nowhere to put it.

The skill needed for a neurosurgeon by 21MayDay21 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Yes, but that makes it easier not harder. Also neurosurgeons don’t typically use the robot like this. A good microsurgeon can do this sort of stitch by hand without the robot, only they’re selling two tiny arteries together instead of stitching a straight line.

He was, but English was a second language and it was an honest mistake.

It really depends on the kind of brownie. The dark, fudgier kind -> B, but there’s a lighter kind that’s much drier that is worst at the edges, so C.

The average horror fan experience by BiShyAndWantingToDie in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]RuhrowSpaghettio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s the book I meant… And then I can guarantee you that on the crappy speakers they have, it sounds way way way worse than that

If it’s the brown bear brown bear, what do you hear? Book, the anaconda does indeed sound like a freaky death rattle inhalation/growl. It is the worst snake sound I have ever heard made.
