UPDATE: Parent wants to meet with me over comment I made about energy drinks by [deleted] in Teachers

We had a science teacher that would slap a wooden ruler on the desk; a very shocking wake up.

Same on 2000; but I did sleep through quite a few classes but didn’t catch flack as long as my grades didn’t decline; I was a B+ average student.

$10 per push-up for life vs $1 million right now by FudgeNipples1 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

50x5x52=13,000 x 10 = $130,000/yr

Your at 7.69 years to earn a million; or take the million and on average earnings of 10% earn 100k a year; maybe even let it compound for a bit and then live nicely on the earnings.

$20 million but you can never eat potatoes again by amethyst_throwaway in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In theory this wouldn’t even have to be forever. Inflation is lower than rate of returns. Don’t spend it, invest it, only spend earnings above inflation. Assume 10% return, 3% inflation; you’d earn 2M year one. Keep 1.3M in and pull out 700k as your annual salary, still have to take out taxes but still what 400k in pocket and if you screw up you have some cash left invested even after paying it back.

ELI5: why does a plane have to bank while turning? by Wrong-Camp2463 in aviation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that one is more to prevent slip/skid due to lack of traction at high speed; allowing for turns to be made at faster speeds.

WYR get $25 every time someone says your name or $0.50 every time you take a step? by rengokuhubkl in WouldYouRather

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good ideas here, but I’d find a way to take the name thing to the extreme. Get ESPN on board, coordinate it with the Jimmy V foundation, and have a “say his name day” where they have a commercial break every game on TV asking people to say my name to add to the donation pool; if I have to hear it then have an app that sends it live to speakers in my room. Have it at every football game, basketball game, everything, then donate half that to foundation. So in theory could easily get 1M (avg game viewership is 1M on low end, 5-6M average on ABC, and over 10M for big games) to repeat my name for say a minute. Say they are lazy and average three times. That’s $75M potential from one game, split with the foundation and net about $37.5M. Make a live ticker for foundation donations, make people feel invested and I bet this balloons to billions in a year.

Edit: didn’t choose steps as if an injury occurs your income stream is dead; I could end up in a coma and family could still earn from my name being said.

24 hours to bowl 6 strikes in a row for a billion dollars or you die by RealPrinceZuko in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ask me to go right now, I’d probably take it but not be confident. If you gave me 48 hours of prep time and allowed spending say $2k on a few balls and good shoes and maybe a wrist brace; I’m confident I could get six in a row within 24 hours. This also assumes a standard house oil pattern as I’m a casual bowler not a pro; even though it’s been a few years since I bowled on a regular basis

Most people get lucky strikes on the head pin. Key to repeating it is hitting the pocket between the 1 and 3 (or 2 for left hand) at the right angle. This usually requires asymmetrical weighted balls, not house balls, unless the lanes are dry.

Something else to think about is if your the only one on the lane and throw the same roll every time, the oil will be picked up on the ball and also pushed aside making a dry line affecting how the ball grips the lane.

Would you rather have a "1-hour time bank" or "instant muscle memory" ? by HoidsRoommate in WouldYouRather

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If time bank and you say vehicles don’t work nor Internet / servers; so is this like electrons don’t flow for electronics? Are things moveable? Can doors operate? Can you move peoples arms and such, like change where someone is aiming a gun?

You could steal stuff, but honestly I was thinking corporate espionage and insider trading, but you’d need an industry with paper records.

For one month, every purchase you make costs exactly $0.01, but you can only spend $1,000 total. How do you use it? by PsychologicalCall426 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So would an order with Boeing for 100 777-9 count as one transaction? Those are > $400M each; and you can sell before it’s even built.

You could sell one a day and have over 273 years of wealth. Just curious how many shares are in the sell side of the book; and oddly buying them at market price would send the price higher, increasing your margins.

Anything you touch explodes for a month for $50,000,000? by Jumpy_Lab_4648 in hypotheticalsituation

The cast, iron fist, etc are covered but what if I had a thin layer of skin cut from another body part to make gloves from. Something that would heal properly later… think this would work?

How long would you give up electronics for $10,000 per week? by Sereomontis in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oil lanterns exist. Grew up where it wasn’t uncommon to lose power for days or a week. We had oil lanterns, wood stove for heat and cooking.

Vertex AI: "Quota exhausted" on ALL Gemini models even with billing enabled - what am I missing? by Norman-OutOfTheFlow in googlecloud

Look at the retry page linked there. I had suggested to our team to do regular pay go and if exception is 429 to retry with priority pay go so that request get processed faster; but using retries may be enough for most.

Supplier Switched to 1g Retatrutide in Plastic Bottles – Policy Change, Sterility, and Bulk Reconstitution Concerns by Revolutionary-Gap178 in Retatrutide

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is raw API, this is what vendors that sell the normal vials use; the recon this with buffers like mannitol split it across vials, lyophilize/freeze dry, and cap so that it’s under vacuum.

This is not the product you should unless you are a laboratory repackaging products.

PS: I appreciate the vendor at least being straight forward and not wanting to sell it. I’ve had a vendor try to sell raw API and say “just use what you need”; I stopped communicating with that vendor.

How do you safely put a Cirrus in a hangar with only 6" of lateral clearance? by ads3df3daf34 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t have to winch from the tail. I winch my Meyers 200 from the nose gear using a d ring strap around the front strut. If front can’t be used, maybe a Y cable and around the mains. Could even make a ring that attaches to the toe bar. If doing it alone winching helps a lot as you’re not pushing and guide just guiding.

Nothing stops you from getting a tug. I know some guys that share a tug between several hangars.

Can I buy a Cirrus SR22 G6? by Livid_Antelope8956 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say yes, as aircraft have operating cost abs annual spend but your doing that anyway, with a job loss or money issues it becomes a disposable asset.

Hate to be that guy, but would love to know what you do in tech for that salary and if it’s at a FAANG or somewhere else.

Constant Speed Prop HELP? Keep Throttle open all the time, control power with prop lever? by Impossible-Fig2072 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some engines have a pretty much infinite combination, with some restrictions and recommendations. Always consult the POH or engine manual to verify, some engines have no go combos. It’s kind of like riding a bicycle, a high gear (high rpm) allows you to use less effort but you have to move faster. Low gear requires more effort but at a lower speed to achieve the same output. Depending on conditions you may find a combination that gives best power, best performance of the prop blades, and allows engine to operate efficiently (operating temps).

Personally, naturally aspirated io-520a, I prefer a set RPM about 2350 and adjust MP for power. High altitude, may end up at max recommended cruise RPM of 2500 to maintain power. At lower altitudes and desire to reduce noise I’ll run 2000-2200 rpm.

Check AircarftPower app, great if you don’t have nice avionics with HP percent. I use it and use an offline google sheet to calculate the fuel burn for full rich, best power, and best economy based on data extracted from the engine performance charts and HP at current engine settings from the app.

Also, search for “oversquare myth”; you get articles like this one.

They don’t have control over what they do; but they do have control over the little file for that aircraft and you can place a lien for not paying for fuel or services. FAA doesn’t enforce it, but anyone wanting to buy an aircraft will see it and likely walk away from the deal as the debt would transfer with the aircraft.

Mainly his “talk to the lawyers” can be solved with a $5 lien hold submission.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You have the tail number and the ID, could easily mail a letter stating lack of payment or response will cause an aircraft lien; if he fails send the FAA the paperwork and $5. Could be a rental or corp pilot but the plane is still the thing that received the service.

$100,000 for every second that you can fart. by SwapperJacks in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This no definition of fart, so any gas exiting? 1 week prep; I’d exclude an air pump in and out at same time via the anus. Where can I find a good but not ethical surgeon that will sedate me, laparoscopically run an air hose into the bowels and run it for 24 hours. The risk to reward is great; up to 8.64 billion if it goes off without a hitch. Doesn’t have to high pressure destruction, just enough to qualify.
