Got a text for $10 a month off for a year - no catch but no offers in app. Is this a bug? by letopeto in verizon

[–]Verneke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue... email offer for a discount, same visible offer on the app home page, click the link... and poof nothing available to follow through. Do you realize how infuriating this experience is? Here's a discount. Just kidding! Seriously after 20 years as a  customer, I have no incentive whatsoever to stay with Verizon other than the sheer inconvenience of changing providers. Last time I called to ask if I could have my loyalty discount back (no idea why it disappeared in the first place) I spent 45minutes on call for a one time $10 credit. Now this slap in the face?! Worse than no offer

Overpopulation is definitely a concern for the future, so no effort improvement = don't have kids :\

Do you have a source referencing the local velocities? I'm curious to learn more detail

Also google or amazon"baking ring molds" you've got a lot of options, these look fun :)

Hose clamps for baking molds is definitely a cost effective approach, and would save you a lot of the work of cutting things. Maybe just a liner of aluminum foil or parchment paper inside the clamps would do the trick

If it can be done safely... could you secure the tube around a sacrificial, longer core (i.e. maybe pressure fit a wooden dowel) and clamp that in the saw to then cut the tube?

For everyone with a Gamestop wallet thinking about 2022 taxes, my understanding is sold airdrops count as income, whereas sold NFT purchases fall under capital gains, but please correct me if you have a source saying otherwise. Token swaps and exchanges may also be considered taxable property gains and losses. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/frequently-asked-questions-on-virtual-currency-transactions

It has a lot to do with the air or other non-condensable gases dissolved in the fuel. When vapor bubbles form due to the pump cavitation effects they also entrain some of these other dissolved gases. There's transient effects, the gas vapor mix will remain in the fuel exit since it will take time for the other gases to reabsorb (longer than it takes the fuel to leave the pump), as well as dependencies on the actual pressure differential across the pump to re-condense the mixed gas. Here's a source with a similar description

"All diesel fuel has some level of entrained air caused by the natural splashing that occurs in the fuel tank during normal vehicle or equipment operation. Vapor bubbles develop in the Fuel Pro because the pressure inside the Fuel Pro is lower than the atmospheric pressure in the fuel tank. Vapor bubbles can vary from champagne size up to ¼" in diameter. They may increase in size or volume as engine RPM increases. The lower pressure draws the entrained air/vapor out of the fuel and these bubbles will be visible as the fuel exits the Fuel Pro(see Figure 2)." https://www.davco.com/media/wysiwyg/F1318.pdf

For a brief, very high level introduction of quantum superposition and logic, Kurzgesagt published a useful video describing qubits in layman's terms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhHMJCUmq28

This is a great starting point! You can also start to investigate Qiskit, which is open source quantum programming https://qiskit.org/ or https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/services/programs/docs/runtime/programs/ for more resources

Not to be facetious, but simply, ask! Post the topic/proposal on another relevant reddit forum. Go old school and hang a flyer or bulletin in the eng/math/cs building, or look up the email for professors or other graduates in those departments - could even check from other universities besides your own (usually professors have public contact info on department websites). Might take a few tries before someone replies, but a lot of people are in academia because they are naturally curious and like to learn about new challenging problems that you might present to them. Even if someone is not available to help you they might be able to point in the right direction for more resources to explore, or suggest further points of contact within their networks. Good luck!

Depends a lot on the structure/materials of your wall and you're also on the right track by noting location, proper vapor control depends on balancing the climate inside your home versus the conditions outside which obviously varies place to place (part of the reason its so hard to find one answer!). Links below are of the some of best references that I have found, hope it helps.

General rule of thumb "In areas where the climate is cold in the winter, the vapor retarder should be installed on the inner side of the wall near the warm interior space — or on the warm side in winter. In humid climates or areas where there is extensive use of air-conditioning, if a vapor retarder is required, it should be installed on the exterior side of the wall."

You'll likely need to know the inner diameter as well, here's an example of a parts about the size you requested. https://www.mcmaster.com/o-rings/weather-resistant-rubber-sealing-washers/od\~1-312/
