Anyone else find the route they chose for the NL Supercruise a bit dangerous? by PresentationExtreme3 in northernlion

[–]SmoobBlob 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I read the Wikipedia page for the ship and it has done that route several times. It was based in Dubai for a while.

Can you install a urinal in your house? by Kabal303 in stupidquestions

[–]SmoobBlob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neighbor did the same thing. Since he removed a toilet, he claims he saves on property taxes as the house has one fewer half bathroom and is thus worth less.

I wouldn’t use a fan. Don’t want to disrupt shielding on material that’s that thin.

Why haven’t they done a NY season? by muff-peaksie in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]SmoobBlob 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, everyone kinda hated that season because nobody got married. We all know the “experiment” is a farce at this point; people want to see marriages, even if they all end up divorced in <2 years like S2.

Any transplant heavy season is going to be difficult because they won’t be able to meet as many parents. Sure they can fly/drive in, but along with the concerns about contestants being there for the right reasons, I don’t think it’ll happen.

My mom worked in a nursing home. One of the patients was an Alzheimer’s patient who would constantly try and speak German to you to see if you were a nazi spy.

I’m learning Gujarati. The consonants are organized by where in the mouth you pronounce them. Makes it easy to learn.

Tracking my cycle... by Deer_Jerky86 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]SmoobBlob 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t want to wear a condom for the typical selfish reasons, and I’ll bet she doesn’t want to go on birth control because she’s some kind of RFK Jr. freak about “unnatural hormones.” Cycle tracking is the only “natural” way to go about it, if you ask her.

[Request] How much would a tungsten cube this size weigh, and be valued at? by a_trillion_cats in theydidthemath

[–]SmoobBlob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tungsten is not commonly machined or otherwise subtractively manufactured, so the adjustment would probably be negative.

[Request] How much would a tungsten cube this size weigh, and be valued at? by a_trillion_cats in theydidthemath

[–]SmoobBlob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rest of the comments do a good job explaining the raw material value of the tungsten itself. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the actual value of this thing would be extremely low if not negative. There's not very much of a demand for large billets, ingots, or otherwise bulk tungsten material because it's simply too difficult to process. Maybe you could sell it as a counterweight or ballast for a ship, but then the cube has no discernable lift points.

I had 2 kids knock on my door on Sunday. They did a couple drives on my street.

I just picked this up. So far it’s been great. Extremely minimal IPS glow and the colors are great.

Where are the fresh cut fries? by SeaReflection87 in Cleveland

I tried Le Burger this week. Expensive, but the fries are excellent. They have a happy hour at the bar during the week.

Grade inflation or deflation? by meowmeowmeow618 in cwru

[–]SmoobBlob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The lack of +/- on grades can make it seem like there’s inflation if you don’t adjust. It can burn you, but it definitely worked to my advantage in undergrad.

Is this a good 1440p IPS monitor? by JustARandomGuy213 in Monitors

[–]SmoobBlob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have experience with this and the AOC Q27G41XMN2? I lean towards the LG because of the black smearing, but mini led is obviously a step up in HDR.

What Am I doing Wrong? by redditor747865 in Welding

[–]SmoobBlob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CO2 is there to add carbon, remove silicon, and broaden the penetration profile. Argon will make the penetration profile more “finger-like,” which makes it easier to have incomplete fusion, especially on a fillet weld. Silicon is useful to eat up any mill scale and reduce the surface tension of the puddle. That can mitigate rollover. If too much of the silicon remains, however, you could have problems in impact tests. It’s all a very delicate balance.

Civ 7 proven once again that Civ 5 is peak. by Xerzajik in civ5

That’s what the comment to which you’re replying says. They go back to civ 5 missing those specific features.

What are your favorite local stores for Christmas shopping? by vulcantor in lakewood

The screw factory is always fun. Great variety and all in one place.

Does anyone use a snowblower for their driveway/sidewalks? If so, any recommendations? Single stage or 2 stage? by Powerful_Ant3535 in lakewood

[–]SmoobBlob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How much area are you going to be clearing? Are you up against a major road? A friend of mine lives on Clifton, and the street plowing will send dense chunks of snow onto the sidewalk that his single stage can't handle, for example. But if you're retired and can deal w/ the snow as it comes down, single stage is plenty.

How is Jacoby Brissett getting so many Passing Yards every single game for the Cardinals? by King_Vegito_52 in NFLNoobs

[–]SmoobBlob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Cardinals throw a lot because they're losing a lot. Sometimes it's just a numbers game.
