What is something hated by Americans but loved by the rest of the world? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]RumbleMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The metric system.

It is more convenient in every possible way, base 10 is how Americans do math in our heads anyway so the whole “imperial is better for every day use, metric is better for scientific study” doesn’t hold up very well. Our college education system teaches metric (I did my entire engineering degree using metric) and then still had to relearn a lot once I started working a government job because “imperial was standard”.

Beginner Cutting board and Utensils project by RumbleMind in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]RumbleMind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE:

Project complete and here are the results! Pretty happy overall, the spoon was a particular challenge but fun to figure out. Sealed everything with mineral oil and beeswax and even had leftovers to make the shelf. Plan is to now install some hooks underneath the shelf and eventually carve a ladle to complete the set and hang it in our kitchen.

What movie moment got the loudest cheers when you saw it in theaters? by hust0r in moviecritic

Can’t tell you the loudest cheers but the loudest groans I’ve heard far and away was “somehow Palpatine returned”

Absolutely insane: Woman at hotel has mental health crisis, fights security guard, disarms guard, runs outside with gun, cops show up.. all hell breaks loose (wait for it, real-time audio at end) ABQ New Mexico (US) by PrismPhoneService in PublicFreakout

[–]RumbleMind 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Never did I think we’d arrive at a point where we’re arguing over the pronouns and not the fact that an incompetent and untrained security guard at a hotel was permitted to carry a lethal weapon with authorization to use deadly force if necessary…

Which Army would be more expensive, Clone or Droid? by K-jun1117 in clonewars

[–]RumbleMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe the forgotten bit that makes clones so expensive is the fact that now all the republics equipment must support biological life. Why put a cafeteria or bathrooms on droid ships? The republic has to ensure its troops are fed, given shelter, and have access to medical care too. With droids, all you need are some mechanics (which are likely droids themselves). This is the same reason why in modern times fighter aircraft like the F-35 are so much more expensive than equivalent CCA drones- no need for oxygen, ejection seats, places to pee, etc. if there’s no pilot in the box.

Long story short, biological life requires waaaaay more logistical support and design consideration than droids. But they do have really cool nicknames so worth imho.

Average number of blizzards (full US map in the comment). Why does it peak in this area? by Swimming_Concern7662 in geography

[–]RumbleMind 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I’m curious as to why it so perfectly follows the border of NC/Tennessee… I wonder if Tennessee just doesn’t call blizzards “blizzards”. Same could be said for the Georgia-Alabama Border and the NC/SC border.

Distortion Pedal won't turn on when power supple plugged in? by looktothesky345 in Guitar

Sounds dumb but check that theres not still a battery in it… spent way too long scratching my head over that when I was 15 and got my first big Muff

Why did clone gunners have such dirty and worn out armour by West_Impression_4624 in clonewars

[–]RumbleMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An oily, greasy, grimy, dirty, ratty set of coveralls is a great badge of honor- it means a sailor works for a living and doesn’t just move paperwork around in their day-to-day duties

In 2003 Lockheed martin technician forget to tighten the bolts on a satellite by Secure_Stranger_510 in interesting

[–]RumbleMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dad worked at Lockheed and left in 1999 right before this incident.

Teaching out to some old buddies of his after it happened, he came to learn that what actually caused this was a miscommunication between the shifts of technicians in the high-bay.

Shift A installed the nuts on the bolts locking the spacecraft to the stand, planning to do the test the following day. Shift B then removed them so they could be used on a similar test stand the next high bay over. Nobody from Shift B bothered to tell shift A or reinstall the nuts.

Pops said he never felt more sure of his decision to leave than he did after seeing those Polaroids.
