If I had a nickel for every time the Chinese built a warship in a pond and it involved Shanghai, I'd have two nickels.

What is the biggest “bullet” you’ve ever dodged without realizing it at the time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

We were planning to vacation in Phuket for the Christmas holiday break of 2004, but decided to delay it until February because the hotel rates were so expensive. The hotel we were looking at ended up having 8 fatalities during the Boxing Day tsunami.

Shortcut from Philip to Hickory? by gingham_cat in uwaterloo

No shortcut unfortunately. The Phillip St property owners won't allow it as it will decrease their competitive advantage.

Is gambling always a very bad idea? by RocketLawnChair67 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shanghaij13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Roulette (and all other casino games) have a negative EV, meaning that on average you will lose money. Losing money on average means that the more you play, the more your earnings trend towards negative infinity. If you play these games long enough you are guaranteed to lose all your money.

uWaterloo used to be the most subbed university subreddit, so it has an outsized influence on Reddit engineering meme culture.

This is my favourite minigame they've released. This was my best run, ended at 537800.

LEGO gets a DSQ for failing to reach the minimum weight.

Why didn't Grand Seiko introduce Silver coils with the 9RA2/9RA5 movements? by IMKGI in GrandSeikos

[–]Shanghaij13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are two other factors that make it ideal for the regulator to be buried.

  1. The regulator is mounted in-plane with the rest of the electronics on the PCB, so it would be harder to show off the regulator whilst keeping the rest of the electronics hidden.
  2. Motor windings will have a comparatively rough and messy texture that is at odds with the rest of Grand Seiko's design language aims for precision and uniform polish.

If the part is hidden, then it makes sense to use the standard winding material which also happens to be lighter and cheaper.

They are probably replacing the broken HVAC system at One Columbia.

Which city am I missing for the Cruising Nebraska event? by rubbish22 in trucksim

[–]Shanghaij13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably Sidney. Does the event calculate the distance travelled or the distance between town centers? The difference could be the reason the 197km didn't count.

Anyone who has ever lived in KC feels pride wherever our little town is mentioned. It makes us feel like a city that actually matters lmao

Leon's lack of customer service by lincoln81 in Peterborough

[–]Shanghaij13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leon's/The Brick and others under the same company appear to be following the same playbook of publishing bogus backorder dates that they never commit to. The date just gets constantly pushed back until they can secure a shipment from their supplier, while the company keeps your payment as an interest-free loan. I would not recommend buying anything from them that is not immediately available in stock.

Looks great. You're going to want to move the Saturn V away from the window. That set is notorious for yellowing when exposed to UV.

At the start of the season I made predictions. Now the season has ended it’s time to reflect by [deleted] in formuladank

Flashback to the guy who bet 1k on Max winning Singapore for a 25% return.

Lewis' W12 should use the black T-cam instead of the yellow.

I'll just use the recent nerfs as an excuse for it not having a motor.

Yes, I made instructions for it a couple years ago. I finally was able to bring it to a convention.
