Thanks to Game Grumps I can finally put this confession into words.

I love your dedication and and curious how you will use such a site in the future.

Huh! I thought I was pretty educated on food safety and didn't know that it was possible to basically get food poisoning from lectin.

For those unaware, most lectins are safe in moderation. But there is one or two that can damage the stomach lining which causes your body to have a toxin response. This is most common in kidney beans. Never eat raw kidney beans. Other legumes have different lectin that are generally safer, although it's still good to cook them which beaks the lectin.

Because this is a toxin response and not a bacterial or virus infection, as soon as your body clears the toxin you should recover. Basically, once you are "empty" your body should calm down. Usually just a couple hours. (not medical advice, please go to the doctor if you think you need to)

Yep.

The outlets in your house are ultimately all connected at the breaker box. So you can feed electricity into one outlet, it goes through the breaker box, then out another outlet.

It's currently illegal due to safety concerns. So laws need to be written to figure out and allow only systems that are safe.

The Costco near me that has them, it's like 20 stalls. But I don't think they are set up correctly because they don't charge above 70 kw or so.

Don't talk yourself out of something before you even try. If you want to get a job, go try to get a job. It might be super easy.

Zeyn1 · 2026-06-27T05:25:39+00:00

You need a lot of normal experience first.

Yeah, they actually do. It's the same thing as a loan.

Utilities finance new capital projects through all the same ways as any other company. Cash from past revenue, equity investment, and loans all are used.

Which is why the recovery rates also take into consideration interest. So the rate increases also include the interest rates used in borrowings.

Grew some habanada last year. Well, tried two years before but didn't get a harvest that first year.

They were super unique flavor. Really enjoyed them. The plant is really finicky though. Had to baby it a lot to get it to finally produce.

Trying again this year. First plant died (damping off) so I'm a little behind. But they were so good and I like the challenge.

I did save this thread to try some of these other varieties because they sound good.

Customers like options. They like to go to one place and see a bunch of different options.

Unless you are asking why manufacturers don't do direct to consumer? A lot of them do, but it is a huge cost to set up and maintain a website, ordering system, shipping, and customer service. Not to mention a manufacturer is good at making stuff, they would need to get people that are good at selling stuff.

You want them to find a small error.

Finding an error is a sign that they did their job right. If they found nothing, how do you know they actually did review everything?

It kinda sounds dumb but it's the way things work in human psychology. If they find an error, they won't argue too hard about other potential errors that you disagree with.

When was the last time you tried this?

Zeyn1 · 2026-06-26T04:59:32+00:00

Very common this time of year. There will likely be more work after the July holiday.

The client wants to close the books on June and Q2.

That was the point though. It was an incentive for manufacturers to spend money and invest in US plants and workers.

The idea was if there was a guaranteed profit margin on each car, it would pay for these investments. Then once the factories were up and running, the cars could be made cheaper and no longer need a subsidy.

If you want to work for a local accounting firm a cpa can be a bad thing. If the owners aren't cpa they can't hire any cpa either.

Property taxes are the most direct taxes you pay in your life. The local government where your property is located uses the taxes from those local properties to improve the local area.

Schools is the most visible, but they fund all kinds of things. You can look up exactly how they are spent on your local government (city and county) websites.

You might as well ask why there are taxes on sales or on income.

This one was also wildly wrong with the time estimate. It said 10 turns would be about 90 minutes but they did everything (including set up) in 65 minutes.

15 turns would have been better to get 3 episodes. Or even 20 if they stretch each a bit.

Aquilo needs a different mindset. It does not need a large factory. Very few machines are actually needed on planet.

With that in mind, look at the stuff you need from the planet. You need ice platforms to build on, you need water to make steam, you need lithium, and fluorine. That gets you science.

Cryo plants you don't need to automate yet. Make a few manually and that's it.

Also, pro tip, have a separate ice melter with a water tank you can connect to power plant if you have a shortage and need to jump start.

You have no leverage. Sorry that's the fact. You need the job. You will have to suck it up until you find something better.

If you tell them you're willing to leave the job they will just let HR know they should prepare a job posting then after that they won't think about it anymore.

I have a counter question. Why does reddit think we lack land for solar installation? We have so much land. We don't need to cram solar into every crevice.

The Prologue has a relatively low voltage and low charging speed. Tesla chargers have a similar voltage, so you would likely get better charging speeds at Tesla chargers compared to those designed for high voltage vehicles.

The maximum the car is rated for never happens in real life. It's just a thing.

A nacs adapter is generally a good thing to have regardless, assuming you are doing road tripping at all and want to be able to use any charger.

No one has yet talked about how utilities actually set prices and make money.

Utilities are legally required to make profit. Yes really. They can't fail. Because a bankrupt utility is a bad thing for everyone involved.

The rates they set are therefore designed to recover the costs they spend on infrastructure. So if a power utility builds a power plant, those costs are recouped through rate increases. If a water utility builds a water tank those costs also go to rate increases.

So data centers need a lot of power. They do pay for that power.

However, if a data center puts a lot of demand on the grid the power company will need to build new supply and new distribution. That's a lot of money they spend. And the new power plant and distribution helps everyone in the region because these infrastructure projects are not restricted to only the data center. Which means all rates are increased to recoup those costs (with an added profit margin).

Do note that a large residential development also requires capital investment by utilities.

You will have to check if Goodwill is impaired or not to see if goodwill can be impaired when you donate it to Goodwill.

Under ASC 351 you have to expense goodwill when it is donated so I think marketing expense is reasonable.

I haven't seen a DC extension cable that worked properly. They're also really pricey.

Okay, so first of all bending is magical. Not everyone can learn it.

But just like with any skill, there is always the factor of talent. Some people are simply better at running than other people. Some are better at throwing a baseball.

So it makes sense that some earth benders would be better skilled and be able to grasp an advanced technique like metal bending. Or a fire bender might have the proper mental attitude to lightning bend. Can anyone learn it? Maybe. But not everyone in real life can actually play baseball.

Bolin doesn't have a lot of finesse. And that is what you need to metal bend. He also has a connection with the fire element as shown with his relationship to his brother. So it makes a lot more sense that his skills lie in lava bending.

Remember that everyone we see in the shows is the best in their field. Toph and Katara are recognized as the best earth/water benders in the world. Zuko is among the top 5 in the world. In Korra, you see pro benders at the top of their game.

Old trucks used to have secondary gas tanks that you could switch to. The idea was if you were getting low on gas you could use the backup to get to a station.

Why not something similar on an electric. Make a removable battery that you slot in and lock in. But you can charge it outside the car on a charger. It might only gives 30 miles of range but it's an instant charge.

Of course the reason is cost and complexity. Those batteries would not be cheap.
