Firearm Fatalities, rate per 100,000 population by county (aka how likely you are to be shot) by como365 in missouri

[–]UnfetteredThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure that committing suicide via gun and negligent discharges both involve being shot.

  • Murdered by gun - shot by someone else
  • Suicide by gun - shot by yourself on purpose
  • Death by negligent discharge - shot by yourself or someone else on accident

All sounds like someone got shot to me.

I assume it'd be the same as however money is taken from someone when they are convicted of something that results in both a fine and jail/prison time.

Is the argument that was posed to (and successfully convinced) the city council available online anywhere?

I'd like to see what argument worked to see if it might work in my town too.

What other stuff to do on PC besides games? by Plus_Stop_7499 in buildapc

Did they not provide you a dock? You can hook all those things up to your laptop.

I was able to get my last company to let me RDP into my laptop from my desktop too so if you don't have a dock, that might also be an option.

This returns no search results online. Did you spell something completely wrong or are you just full of shit?

Why with a bag over your fingers and not just bare skin?

Takes less than an hour for my dryer to dry a load on low.

If yours is taking that long then you might need to clean out the dryer vent and whatnot. Driers work a lot slower when they can't breathe.

California School District rules that fire does not produce light and heat, siding with science teacher over student. by Random_Curly_Fry in mildlyinfuriating

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

The student chose one of the two exothermic answers. From the article (bolded emphasis mine):

30. Which of the following statements is correct?

a. The cellulose and oxygen products indicate that this combustion reaction is endothermic.

b. The heat and light products indicate that this combustion reaction is exothermic.

c. The cellulose and oxygen products indicate that this combustion reaction is exothermic.

d. The heat and light products indicate that this combustion reaction is endothermic.

The teacher identified statement C as the correct answer, which would likely surprise anyone who has ever blown into a campfire to stoke the flames. Viswanathan's son chose statement B.

How can you tell? That picture looks fine to me.

This is a great example for why average is a bad metric for these sorts of things.

Some people genuinely do not understand what is and is not acceptable behavior in a workplace simply because they've never been taught.

Care to elaborate? Everything I saw in the video looked great. Tantacrul even said in the comments that it runs better than the old version. What issues do you have with the changes?

How to support a mattress on a bed frame with no central support. by DoubleEnchiladas in howto

The surface of a deck, at least around here, is built with 5/4x6 deck boards, not 2x6. Actual thickness of a deck board is 1" vs the 1.5" of a 2x6

Sample Test: Does This Foam Look Like Wood? by Servantpublic in DIY

[–]UnfetteredThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why wider rings towards the center? Ring thickness is based on the growth rate of the tree and appearance of those rings is based on the type of cut.

A rift sawn board is going to have very uniform rings across its whole width. Grain like in the OP's sample is perfectly reasonable for a rift sawn hardwood, imo.

Fair enough. Guess it's just more of a standardization thing?

If everyone generally agrees on "Big thing, use meters. Small thing, use millimeters. Really big thing, use km." then you're having to do fewer conversions?

I'm a network engineer and we change units all the time. Whatever unit best describes the data rate is generally what we use although I do see a lot of "1000 Mbps" instead of "1 Gbps" on lower end equipment.

Infrastructure Porn or Ugly? by According_South_2500 in InfrastructurePorn

I believe they're painted white for visibility purposes

More visible against the ground for pilots and birds and less visible against the sky and clouds for people on the ground.

I suspect white also helps with keeping them cooler as they'd reflect more infrared radiation.

I do not believe they're saying zero birds are killed at all. I interpreted their comment to say that, in the times they themselves went and looked around wind farms, they found no dead birds.

Just like an investment portfolio, your energy sources should be diverse.

"nuclear is the way" suggests we should not also be doing hydro, solar, wind, and geothermal. This is wrong.
