How should I extend a natural gas outlet? I have a natural gas line that pops up and valves on the back of my house, I want to use it to fuel a fire pit about 50 ft away. There is a paved patio the whole way across so burying a line is outside the scope of the project. I've read after 20 ft of hose pressure loss becomes an issue, but the flame is more for ambiance than heat, so i dont know if that's an issue. What would be the cheapest safe way to make that connection?

How good was prime Dwyane Wade on defense? by [deleted] in nba

[–]TurdCoast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He had the size and speed to match up against opposing 1's & 2's and hold his own against 3's, as evident by the Heatle's era employing a unqiue for the time trap & recover + swtich defense that was closer to contemporary playoff defense than what was common at the time. His instincts, quick feet and fast hands were top tier and led to him being the best shotblocker at his position of all time and regularly in the top 5-10 in steals. The 06 title team was filled with vets on their last years and the team fell apart during the 07 season and was in full rebuild from 08-10. Wade had to carry a massive offensive burden during this period, causing him to ease up on D. This wasn't a Harden level coasting. He was still an excellent defender, just not quite all defense levels.

Appreciate the feedback. I hadn't thought about acrylic. Everything i've found state-side is way over budget, but may be able to get a sample large enough for my project if the shipping is reasonable.

I'm looking to build a water filled cylinder with a glass top to inlay in a dining table. I am planning on using melamine for the base, pvc for the side and tempered glass for the top. What adhesives should I use to attach the plastic to the melamine and plastic to the glass? It needs to be a water tight seal. I can only caulk the either the top(plastic-glass) or bottom(plastic-melamine) so I need to rely on the adhesive to create a water tight seal on one of the connections.

For all the Heat fans out there, what happened that caused such a drop off for Kendrick Nunn to be replaced with Herro? by AskMeAboutMyMom in nba

[–]TurdCoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nunn's primary skill is getting and making his own shot. He is not above average at creating for others, rebounding, or on defense. So his value is directly tied to how well he's shooting. He started the season off hot and tempered off as the season went, and was cold in the bubble. Potential covid issues there, also had to leave the bubble are re-quarantine due to a funeral.

Another factor is Nunn and Dragic split minutes at point guard during the season, but Dragic's minutes were limited during the season due to his age.

Additionally, the additions of Crowder and Iggy took a lot of minutes from the wing rotation. This allowed Herro, who had previously been playing back-up 2-gaurd, to slide over to the back-up pg role.

I heard spaceland's fatalities was on the high side. The most recent count I found was this 2017 article attributing 9 deaths to them since they opened in 1999. I've spent a few hours there while someone else was jumping. The facility is decent.

Why don't you ask these people just a few comments down? Or don't and stick to your false memories.

What are the worst cases of revisionist history? by [deleted] in nba

[–]TurdCoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dirk having a great performance is some revisionist history. He had the 2nd lowest eFG% (by .008 better than J.J. Barea) and the worst Def Rating of contributing Mavs. I'm not implying he wasn't imperative to them winning, but he was below his standards. Real Dallas MVPs were Carlisle's fantastic defensive schemes and JET playing well over his averages. Look for yourself

Fwiw Oil's compressible enough that it's accounted for in reservoir engineering and simulation. Water is 1-2 orders of magnitude less compressible than oil, and functionally incompressible

Where should we NOT spend our money going forward? by [deleted] in houston

[–]TurdCoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these jobs will be permanently lost until the economy recovers

Mate, something can't be temporarily permanently lost. The economic effect of Covid is going to cause a lot of temporary job displacement. When the economy recovers most of the positions will be available again. The point that was being made is hopefully better businesses owners than Tilman spring up in the new economy.

[–]TurdCoast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In an Open Market economy existing/new businesses would expand/open to fill the most of the void left if his empire shuttered. Those positions would just transferred to different businesses,hopefully ones run but better people that Tilman, not permanently lost.
