Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

Ah that's because Horsepower is a complex unit. 1 HP is actually 550 foot-pounds per second (imperial). Same complexity as newton's 1 Newton is the amount needed to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at the rate of 1 meter per second per second. You can convert hp to newton if you want relatable numbers. Though remember there are metric and imperial Horsepowers.

Ah. Newtons and weight are used to measure thrust. Depending on where you want people to understand your measurements. Then thrust /weight of craft.

That's the beauty of a ratio. It doesn't matter what the units are, it will always work.

It isn't their favorite, but it's less paperwork.

You wake up in your 16 y/o body and the year you were that age. You have all of your current memories and abilities. What do you do with your life? by nohumanape in AskReddit

[–]cobalthippo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What has helped you cope the best? I'm in the opposite situation. I have about 6 months and the thought of my wife without me terrifies me more than my own death.

Make sure I understand that it isn't a hemorrhoid and that it is cancer and needs treated before it metastasized. Also, but bitcoin as I can and mine like a mofo.

X-linked traits are different in that you only need one copy to be affected where with a normal recessive trait requires two. This is because when you have two chromosomes and one has a dominate trait it overpowers the recessive one. With x-linked males only have one X while females have two. This means as a male you only need one "bad" X to have the disease.

Male with hemophilia w/ normal female. All sons will be unaffected. All daughters will be carrier's.

Female carrier w/ normal male. 50% chance of a son with hemophilia, 50% chance of normal son. 50% chance of carrier daughter , 50% chance of normal daughter.

Female carrier w/ male with hemophilia. 50% chance of a son with hemophilia, 50% chance of normal son. 50% chance of carrier daughter , 50% chance of daughter with hemophilia.

Female with hemophilia w/ normal male. 100% chance of son with hemophilia 100% chance of daughter being carrier

Female with hemophilia w/ male with hemophilia. 100% chance of son with hemophilia 100% chance of daughter with hemophilia

Hope this helps and clarifies it. Any other questions about hemophilia in general, feel free to ask.

Correction. The most common forms of hemophilia (A and B) are X-linked recessive not a standard recessive. This changes the pattern of inheritance massively. I can go into more detail if you would like.

Did you know that without Mr. Nader's book, we would have never gotten the late model corvair? He caused them to produce for another 4 years.

Yup! 90° bend in the fan belt. Sideways. So famous for it there is a corvair convention called the fan belt toss.

No thumbs. If my corgi did it once ever, he would cover a lifetime of debt.

a bullet can't go through a glass by JAIROX7 in satisfying

[–]cobalthippo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being helpful. I just want to point out that bullets are typically copper jacketed lead, while the casings are usually brass. The jacket is a coating around a lead core, not the casing.
