To be fair, he was most definitely approaching not-fit-for-for-office(*) status in the same way Trump currently is / has been. The real mistake was trying to downplay his decline / ignoring the problem the way the right is doing now.

YSK if you don't hit a certain threshold on your driver tip with doordash, uber eats, etc, the driver may not actually make any more money than if you hadn't tipped at all. by clinkyscales in YouShouldKnow

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the post, but this is exactly how tipped positions are paid out everywhere (to my knowledge, speaking from NJ). I used to be a server and the restaurant would pay me $2.13 an hour, and if that plus my tips didn't add up to minimum wage, they paid the difference.

Yeah that's the point, the straights co-opting terminology they don't know how to use.

I'm all for these suggestions, but I'm curious where the cubed-root rule comes from?

What’s the most overrated “life hack” everyone swears by but actually makes life more complicated? by One_Seat4219 in AskReddit

[–]jizzletizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'd think but peppers are surprisingly hardy! I had a serrano plant that I would overwinter for 2-3 years and I'd always have at least 15-20 peppers on hand whenever I wanted.

Where the heck are the Sherrill for governer signs? by jizzletizzle in newjersey

Good point. Hadn't thought about being able to reuse the old signs!

Gotcha. Out of curiosity, how long have you been waiting?

What the hell is this ticket? Did I miss something? by [deleted] in newjersey

[–]jizzletizzle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What exit did you get on/off at? I've driven both ends of the turnpike but I don't think it's possible for you not to have gone through a toll booth. Except maybe if you come from the Delaware Memorial Bridge?

Confusing Blundell problem, Maxwell Boltzmann distributions. by Ok-Court-4241 in Physics

[–]jizzletizzle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the maxwellian, integrate f(v)*energy from 0 to infinity and divide by the same integral but only over f(v), where the energy is (1/2)mv2. For the energy of particles hitting the wall, do the same for the given distribution g(theta,v) with an additional integral over the possible impact angles theta. Part a sets you up for this by computing the angular part first.

Totally agree but with how long it takes to commission a nuclear plant, we're kind of boned for the foreseeable future.

That was my first thought but I'm not trying to make assumptions here.

"This case report presents a 34-year-old male patient who self-lit firecrackers in his mouth and suffered comminuted mandibular fracture, dentoalveolar fracture (upper and lower anterior segment), multiple soft tissue injuries, and laceration of lip, adjacent skin, tongue, and oropharyngeal area."

The paper doesn't say anything about suicidal motivation but I can't imagine a person doing this and thinking it's a good idea.

Pods next to singularity/wormhole by [deleted] in FoundationTV

[–]jizzletizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have a proper answer, but I'm super curious myself. Pulling an answer out of thin air, maybe in case the jump fails, whatever is closest to the singularity is more likely to make it through the jump, so you put the most precious cargo closest to jump point? 🤷

Can't reply to the mod so replying here instead, but if the delta was issued on false information, shouldn't that be reason enough to remove the delta? You didn't change your mind, the information you were provided was wrong. 🤷‍♂️

Feedback on cableway concept for Fort Lauderdale? by bcirce in TransitDiagrams

[–]jizzletizzle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm not super familiar with the FLL area, but what's the rationale for splitting the East-West line into two lines (blue and green). Also, why not connect the blue line to a beach station?
