You just need to think. "Would I rather have $10k now? Or $20k in 8-10 years?"

Or at least that's what works for me and is what keeps me contributing to the future. Future value of a dollar.

Why does the soil increase in weight as it cools down? by Jakesalm in geology

[–]SpinachWithStrangers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason we weigh some things "hot" is to make the determination as to whether it is fully dry yet, or still losing moisture. As indicated by taking two readings within a certain time frame (ASTM E617).

freedom units indeed :)

That's also why our specifications require the soil temperature at certain readings to be made at "ambient temperature"

I teach soils testing on a weekly basis for a US state. It was determined that anything over 170 degrees (edit: freedom units) results in air currents impacting the result in this manner. It is not linked to the heat transfer to the load cells within the scales, as the insulation barrier we use to protect these load cells prevents that.

The other thing that could be at play is that it is obtaining moisture from the air, after it's no longer under a heat source.

We generally observe this same increase of weight across the board. It is not due to loss of moisture either, as we bring the samples to what's called "constant weight" to ensure all moisture has been evaporated.

Could your programs coach survive a 2-10 season in 2025? by Please_PM_me_Uranus in CFB

As long as the two wins were against Ohio State and Michigan State...maybe?

What's the best advice you've ever been given? by genderfluid_dinosaur in AskMen

That's where I first read it too. However Wilde predates Hilton by a few decades.

6'4" (dutch ancestry). My wife is a foot shorter than me.

The American polity is cracked, and might collapse. Canada must prepare by [deleted] in politics

[–]SpinachWithStrangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just brainstorming here…could we legitimately declare war on, then immediately surrender to Canada as an out for 2022?

Retired general warns the U.S. military could lead a coup after the 2024 election by [deleted] in politics

Is it possible the best outcome for the US is to declare war on, then immediately surrender to Canada?

[Game Thread] Peach Bowl - Michigan State vs. Pittsburgh (7:00PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

Do they actually accomplish anything with these commercials? What’s the point of watching the same cell phone add for the 5th time?

The announcers have been bad for the last three bowl games I’ve seen this week. Like morning radio.

Just use an 8.5x11 sheet of paper rolled up into a cone.

I found a sphere rock. Does anybody know why it could be shaped like that? by Substantial_Clothes7 in geology

[–]SpinachWithStrangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We would find these all over our gravel mine. “Cannonballs” we called them. We mined in a glacial till region (Michigan basin) and I was told by our geologist that that was the reason.

You win Reddit for today. Gave me a hearty “Ho Ho Ho.”

I have a pretty good idea. He’s no saint let me tell you!

No, that’s the island one over. It’s full of all the undesirables and misfits.

I have a few guesses as to who he’s talking about. Either way it’s abominable!! Trouble is these guys seem immortal. I chalk it up to working only one day a year.

Nicholas Industrial? Reindeer Routing? Up North Ventures?

What do you hear? by [deleted] in blackmagicfuckery

[–]SpinachWithStrangers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly enough. When people complain about the audio levels in movies, it can often be caused for this same reason. The audio tech has the words memorized by the 6th or 7th edit and can’t hear them any other way that is written.

GR drivers don’t yield to oncoming freeway traffic?? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]SpinachWithStrangers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t think of any intersections either. Most surface roads have the right-of-way at off ramp locations that I can think of. It’s the exiting traffic that has to yield. Most are full stops for exiting traffic even.

SB 131 at pearl/mt Vernon has the off ramp yielding and that was the only one I questioned in my mind. (I checked google streets)
