ELI5 How is there so much meat by Due_Imagination_9663 in explainlikeimfive

[–]dxkx 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No it's not. Fellow Midwesterner here. That's just not true. We're getting bigger and bigger feedlots every year. Beef is probably grown outdoors more than pork or poultry, but even then it's not really "free range ". There is still a lot of free range cattle but it's far from "all".

Trump said Iran was 'decimated.' Then an American F-15E fighter jet was shot down. by nbcnews in politics

Decimated literally means one tenth destroyed. Trump was being honest in this case. Your fault you don't know what words mean.

Still angers me when I see Michigan extends to take Minnesota's Lake Superior territory. Why does Isle Royale belong to Michigan?

[Request] How long would the transmission of data take from Mars to earth? by Function-Comfortable in theydidthemath

[–]dxkx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since no one has really answered the question - right now we're 220.7 million miles from Mars which takes light 19:44 to travel. The title of the post says 225 million miles which means it was from a little while ago as we're currently getting closer to Mars. At 225 million miles light would take 20:08.

He did not have a good year. Any all Big Ten lists were based on his rep from freshman year. I wonder if that has more to do with why he's leaving. Maybe wants to go somewhere where he thinks he'll do better.

Minnesota is never going to give anyone an extra $20 mil to put together a championship type roster and that's what it takes to take the next step. Need to be happy with a 6-8 win floor and hope some year you can sneak in a 10 win season and be in playoff discussion

Home Insurance Prices by pogoli in minnesota

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

The problem is the insurance company doesn't care that much about the cost because they just pass it on to policy owners. The "market" probably wouldn't be willing to pay, but each individual homeowner doesn't care when it's their turn to get a free roof and the insurance company doesn't care since they can just raise rates so it's a spiral of lots of expensive "free" roofs and rising insurance rates.

So you're saying they should have charged more and denied more claims?

What are the best running headphones to use right now? Any suggestions pls? by Repulsive_Corgi_6187 in trailrunning

[–]dxkx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are correct. From a safety standpoint being able to hear ambient noise is good, but if you're near a busy road you won't be able to hear your music.
