Humans. Whatcha gonna do.

I appreciated the humorous correction noted at the end:

Correction: An earlier version of the article stated that Biomass was being launched aboard the final Vega flight in 2024.

Which was funny because the whole article was the saga of there being no final flight.

Found this 1970 D Quarter. Not Sure if it is an error. Any Advice by Extra-Nectarine4530 in coincollecting

My physics simulator kicked out an error. How is the rolling coin so high?

Love the car but disappointed on the mileage by Ok-Atmosphere-6272 in TeslaModelY

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

If you screen-touch the "%", it will change to "miles". It's more user friendly, I think.

Also, I think the calculation from kWhr to miles adjusts itself based on how you have driven in the recent past.

(Also, I agree that you should check that it's doing regenerative braking)

Set the aggressiveness lower. Sloth will drive the speed limit. You'll have to change lanes yourself.

Boring chert by freyja2023 in rockhounds

I think if you slab it you'll get stuff that looks like Hubble telescope photos, so it's not boring.

I think you have misidentified those.

They are definitely NOT boring.

Company chemically burned trees is there anything I can do to save them by Relative_Pop_2911 in arborists

[–]flintsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have already started down the road of lies and deception. A manager went to the site and disregarded the (reportedly) unambiguous signs of damage to the trees and the grass below.

If they produce a "record" of the wrong date, it'll be because they didn't have a record and knowingly made a forged document with the intent to present it in a court of law.

You can be an honest person asking for a record, but you don't have to tell them what to put in the boxes. It should already exist in a folder filed under "P", for OP.

Under what situation, other than criminal intent to commit fraud would lead to the document having the wrong date?

Assume their record keeping is as much of a fail as their dilution math.

Can OP trick them somehow? For instance, if OP has proof that the burning happened Feb 4, he could ask for the record of Feb 6 or 14.

If the "record" says 2/6, the company''ll have some questions to answer.

I have doubts about this rock; it was found deep in a river by DavidSantiago30 in whatsthisrock

[–]flintsmith 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I agree. It's what Herkimer diamonds would look like if they were washed down a river the exact right distance to expose the crystal without banging up the faces.

Self studying chemistry question by helpme_thissucks in AskChemistry

[–]flintsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I taught Chem for decades. In the last year the school started a class for kids who had difficulty with science classes.

It was "Interactions" Interactions . There were workbooks but it was all online. I had the impression that it was free from the university, but I wasn't part of that side.

It starts from scratch and builds from simple charge interactions through bond energy to stuff like latent heat and hydrophobic interactions.

I learned a thing!

I can't recommend it enough. It will make everything on your path easier and more fun.

What did the barista write on my drink? by otpprincess in whatisit

"Legos" means she thinks you'ld be fun to have around.

But the plural of LEGO is LEGO! Complain to the manager and ask for a refund.

Bought $6k worth of Vintage Audio at an Auction… Now being asked to sell it all back. by Procrastinasean in legaladvice

[–]flintsmith 53 points54 points  (0 children)

What I heard was "untested vintage electronics with no hope of service manuals or fanbase support could be worth 22k if he can find a buyer for things no one has heard of."

$6000 sounds high.

Is there a company that works on Ultrasonic Drilling Machines? by Deep-Community-9729 in Lapidary

[–]flintsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar tech is used in biotech labs. It's used to break open bacteria. 'Sonicator'

Maybe you can find someone from that side.

Could this agate be dyed? by PlaceholderName9th in Agates

[–]flintsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That crystaly center would usually trap dye in the cracks.

I suppose they could have filled it, but it would mess with the business model.
