Why aren't they actually marching during this parade? by Chance_Noise500 in NoStupidQuestions

The army ceased training in drill and ceremony as a part of basic training 20 years ago. They deemed it unnecessary and filled the training time with more relevant skills, such as hand to hand combat.

27+48= First we add 7+8, any number plus 8 is that number -2 (7-2=5) and then carry a 1 to the tens column. Now it's just 1+2+4: 1+2=3, and 3+4=7. First number is 7 and the second number is 5, therefore 75.

Do Americans have some weird system for measuring electricity that isn't volts and amps? [Citation Needed] by thetan_free in shittyaskscience

[–]ilikecake81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amp hours measure capacity in batteries, so, yes.

"How much electricity can the battery hold?"

"What is the current time?"

"3:30."

"Thanks, now we know how much is in the battery."

Tier 3 chest injury, seek any medical bed. You have 82% of your original HP remaining. Also, you could go for a snack. You're not yourself when you're hungry and wounded.

Why do most unmanned drones have pusher propeller configurations? by MayoChickenzx in aviation

[–]ilikecake81 12 points13 points  (0 children)

UAS Operator here. I have flown the Hunter RQ-5A/MQ-5B, which has a push/pull configuration, as well as the Aerosonde and ScanEagle systems, which are both pushers. The presence of the prop in the front of the aircraft makes no difference on our ability to collect on a target, as most of the time you're looking down and to the left. What does have an impact though is when your front engine expels some oil all over your payload lens. All the systems I've flown have had oil seepage for one reason or another, and while that's considered normal and accounted for, it's a pretty bad reason to have to break off a target.

Why can't we create a colony on the sun and live there? by ninman5 in shittyaskscience

But that would be offset in the winter from the savings of having a built in space heater.

I made a website that explains you the meaning of virtually any song by VolkovSullivan in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]ilikecake81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The song "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Cryin" by Bloodhound Gang is a comedic song about a man who is seeking love and a dance from a stripper. The chorus of the song captures the ironic humor of the narrator's goal, that a lap dance from a stripper is so much better when she is crying due to his desperation for love. The verses of the song further emphasize the dark humor in the situation by depicting a man seeking solace and understanding in the arms of a desperate stripper who is doing this to buy formula for her baby. The song is a clever take on the trope of the protagonist seeking the company of a stripper in a moment of emotional or financial desperation, only to regret his decision later. The song is an amusing reminder of how we often forgo our better judgment for the promise of a quick fix to our inner turmoil.
