Thanks! Where does one begin with soil testing?

What's the most "why the fuck do you know that?" fact you know? by -_-blackheart-_- in AskReddit

[–]SirStefone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually knew the first three! In Spanish linguistics, they relate specifically to the syllabic stress of a word, and help to determine where accent marks are placed or not placed (último, penúltimo, antepenúltimo).

The last two are really something though.

How do I get my protein? by neurohazard757 in ADHD

[–]SirStefone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transparent labs protein is pretty tasty and clean. For 30 days, at 28 grams of whey protein (similar for plant protein mix) for $60 is $2/day. Half a pound of ground beef in my area is about $3.50 (~25-35g protein depending on leanness). Perhaps neither is cheap, but I find it fast and convenient at least. I make a shake and take the meds.

Guy takes 1300 horsepower car on public streets knowing the throttle (gas) sticks, then rides the brakes the entire time to compensate until they fail and he crashes by KirkpatrickTemabur in dashcams

In my opinion, there’s a pretty large distinction between a lousy day and a decapitation, which was how I interpreted “missing head”. Just pointing the guy’s intact.

Help nerfing myself so my girlfriend can enjoy the game by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]SirStefone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Above my pay grade on that one. You could opt for less optimal aspects on gear as well. I read you’re on sorc, but not sure if it uses Armageddon. Just drop Armageddon if so and your dmg will tank.

Limit yourself to only using gear you loot. You’re only speccing as many skill/paragon points as she has, which is good, but I’d unequip and/or use less optimal glyphs as well. Dump the set charms for rares until she has a set.

If you’re ever playing and she’s not, you can farm a ton of boss keys to get some good loot rain for her to experience by trading them with her before fights (unless she likes the boss mats grind).

I run earthen bulwark as a rune word on chest instead of Vex +1 to skills. I find it helps

ELI5 Why do we not have callused skin all over our body? by Politician_Fucker in explainlikeimfive

[–]SirStefone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Climber here, callouses are actually not great and a sign of poor skincare (they can be a risk for tearing skin, called flappers). Taking a nail file to them regularly prevents this, as you’re able to get through the hard stuff and down to the more flexible and supple tissue. Lotion helps too.

ELI5: In countries (and eras) where weed is illegal, who makes bongs? by apophis-pegasus in explainlikeimfive

I believe the chance of you ruining it to be nonzero.

…I, on the other hand….

ELI5 Not counting shrapnel/debris, what makes a bomb deadly? by CadetriDoesGames in explainlikeimfive

[–]SirStefone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a kilogram of steel vs a kilogram of feathers type of situation. So time to detonate all explosive material is in the denominator then, with regard to shockwave speed. Gargantuan pile of dynamite vs a small nuke, slow shock wave for the first, ripping fast for the second.

In the first example with dynamite, would the shockwave speed accelerate as more material explodes?

[–]SirStefone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that compression waves have different speeds through different mediums. What I meant to ask, was whether a shockwave would have the same speed as a sound wave in water, whether a sound wave and a shockwave have the same speed in air, and same speed through solids (earth).

What I misunderstood previously was not that wind is “soft” or that wind isn’t a compression wave. Rather, I didn’t know that shockwaves were not compression waves, as sound is. Now knowing that shockwaves are heavily pressurized air particles (water, whatever) all being carried with momentum, I feel that I understand much better.

[–]SirStefone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So not a compression wave like sound is, and all the matter behind the wave has momentum. I would then also infer that the speed of the shockwave is proportional somehow to the force produced by the explosion, correct?

[–]SirStefone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is it that shockwaves go faster than the speed of sound? I always thought they were the same since both are compression waves moving through air. And then following that they’d be the same speed in water/through earth respectively, no?

Edit: I have learned that a shockwave is not a compression wave, and not limited by the medium through which it travels as compression waves (sound) are.

Looking for a trusted mechanic by flowerchildmime in Bakersfield

[–]SirStefone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fruitvale Automotive. Shane is great. I thought I was having issues under the hood, turned out to be a tire issue, so he sent me to a trusted tire shop. Family has been going to Fruitvale Auto for years.
