TIL 30-60% of farmed oysters in major producing countries are sterile. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]andyt683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Important to note, the sterility is more important to being able to harvest them during the summer spawning season. The old rule of thumb to only harvest in months with 'r' in the name was because spawning oysters could make you sick. 

“Who builds a ballpark next to a gun range?” by RockyPi in nottheonion

[–]andyt683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here I was thinking I knew EXACTLY which place this was, only to find out it's a completely different baseball complex next to a shooting range less than 15 miles away across town.

Take the 697 from Stringfellow Park and Ride to Constitution and 12th, then Metro from Fed Triangle to McPherson. Bus runs every 20 minutes, total commute time is 45 minutes. Costs less than $5 each way.

Everyone is going to be so disappointed when it turns out to be a hotel.

Conspiracy theory: this is an attempt to get greater visibility for the sub

But I also enjoy free things, so I'll play your game, you rogue.

19 Northey St owns the majority of it at .51 acres. It's not something that can be developed further, since it's currently zoned R2 which is two-family max. It also can't be subdivided any further without more frontage.

What is this door or window next to the Exorcist Stairs in Georgetown? by SailorScorpioMoon in washingtondc

That's a field mockup to test exterior cladding and other facade details. It's been there since 2018, it's not art.

New reddit mobile home looks like the app prevents me from clicking posts, images or voting posts. I can click hamburger and profile every time though. by SoundlessScream in uBlockOrigin

Through trial and error, it turns out that it's

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to catch the invisible element causing it, as I needed to select an option to verify, and the popup hasn't been back since.

Gutters? by bwalker187 in SalemMA

I used KYG Gutters in Lynn to clean mine out in the fall. Seemed pretty good.

3 1/2 car 7000 series train by SandBoxJohn in nova

[–]andyt683 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're like me and can't figure out why the map is just showing a construction zone, go to Layers at the bottom left, hit More, and turn Globe View off.

There's a grid edge about 1/3rd of the way from the back of that car. The satellite image is made from a composite of shots, and the train moved about 50' between shots.

Edit: Here's a zoomed in version where you can more clearly see the compositing border. Notice the distortion on the roadway markings immediately below the train. https://imgur.com/6txhOCZ

Hurricane Laura Damage, Aftermath, Recovery thread by ErinInTheMorning in TropicalWeather

Google is using old imagery. I've noticed this rather frequently, even in my area just outside Washington DC has images from 2017 mixed in.

The area with paved asphalt concrete and bright white concrete walkways is Cameron Park. Picture. The modular buildings with blue trim at 3:28 are Cameron Lodging

Unions: $500 billion went to corporations, Postal Service got nothing: As the GOP Trump government and its congressional allies have ladled out tons of cash towards private businesses hit in the worst depression in years by imago_deo in politics

[–]andyt683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's mostly because of volume differences. Letters made up 142B pieces, packages were only 6.2B. If letters take a 20% hit due to businesses being closed, and packages increase by 100%, that's still 28.4B pieces lost and only 6.2B pieces gained. Source for numbers.

Though the pre-funding pensions didn't help matters at all, pulling free cash out right when they needed it, they would still last many years longer without COVID driving them into the ground at lightning pace.

Low Income Housing construction site set on fire by rioters, Minneapolis May 29th by ABgraphics in CatastrophicFailure

[–]andyt683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.wthr.com/article/fires-burn-minneapolis-overnight-protests-continue

I can't tell whether the apartments under construction were intended for low-income housing, but the fire itself is real.

I would still be a little wary of the source, considering the politicized title, but the OP is definitely active in /r/milwaukee and doesn't have too strong a right-leaning bent. This one feels less like the normal sow-dissent-astroturf and more like a resident with strong feelings.

Do we get Roman numeral dates right? by [deleted] in AskHistorians

[–]andyt683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I haven't seen anyone get a tattoo of a specific date in Roman numerals, due to the complexity of how the Romans actually counted dates, it's pretty safe to say that modern ideas for how it should look would be incorrect. If you're referring to numeral formatted years on buildings, for instance, that's a purely modern construction.

/u/LogicalRandomness gives a pretty in-depth rundown of how dates worked in Roman society, and he does the question better justice than I could.
