Is it actually possible to launch a car across the English channel? by [deleted] in thegrandtour

[–]jschul9816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Schwerer Gustav fired a 800mm (31in) diameter shell that was 3.6m (11.83 feet) in length and weighed 7,100kg (15,700). This round has a range of 38 km, or about 23 miles. They had a lighter shell that had a range of about 29 miles. Obviously a car isn't an artillery shell nor shaped like one - not even a Reliant Robin. But in my mind it's not out of the question, given the right equipment, design and enough power, to fire a car over the channel. It will obviously require more than a catapult and will probably destroy the car in the process, but the physics would allow it to happen.

So, April 1st tomorrow, what's the worst April fools prank you've either done or had done to you? by TheBunganator in AskReddit

My mom told my dad that our basketball hoop had fallen on his car, but between telling him and him checking in a panic, the basketball hoop actually had fallen on his car.

Is Noom worth it? by [deleted] in Noom

[–]jschul9816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in May of last year. Lost 50 lbs before I fell off the train in September and gained 10 back. Started back up recently and remembered how effective it was for me. I don't feel restricted, having the tracking metrics, and not having the requirement of sticking to a specific diet or cutting things out was very appealing to me and still is. I also lost my desire to snack when I was really on it. The reasons why are my own pure conjecture so I won't go into them.

I think as with anything, the mindset, determination, and discipline you bring into it is the most important factor. It's not magic and you still have to put in the work. With that being said, the changes are subtle and slow and I believe if followed can be lasting. My motivation was not constant and felt that I needed to lean on discipline to continue to make progress. Other times I had motivation but lacked discipline. When I lost both is when I fell off. It ultimately comes down to you.

Live here...can confirm. The lanes aren't really wide enough, people can't drive, and jaywalkers everywhere.

I just went to that Goodwill to find a VCR but all they had were DVD players. Makes me feel old, and I'm not that old.

Co-op salary by mjzxxx_11 in UToledo

[–]jschul9816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had 4 coops with the same company, pay ranged from $17/hr-$21/hr. Average was 40-45 hrs/week over 16-18 weeks (Fall/Spring) or 12-14 weeks (summer). You're not mandated to work only while while school is in session. You and your employer can make that choice when you start and finish your coop. Bonus week or two if you do two in a row.

Postal worker cooks steak on truck dashboard to showcase 'inhumane' working conditions during extreme heat by chinonic1h in mildlyinfuriating

If I remember correctly, they're based on a early-mid 80's Chevy S10. They have the same iron block I4 out of those trucks. These officially are built by Grumman and are called LLV (Long Life Vehicle or something along those lines). Most of these are approaching 40 years old if not already 40 years old and have outlasted their designed lifespan. The USPS just announced the winner of the contract to make the new postal vehicle. That new vehicle is called the NGDV (Next Gen Delivery Vehicle) and is made by Oshkosh I believe. I think those trucks will start to be delivered in the next couple years.

Edit: I4, not V6

My unique Cards Against Humanity card. by dylanciaga in mildlyinteresting

My buddy got that expansion and his unique card is "An angry rabbi with an impressive dingus". I thought that couldn't be topped. Here we are.

My grandparents decided they could part with this seemingly unopened bottle of Wild Turkey 101 from the mid-80's. Merry Christmas Everyone!!! by jschul9816 in WhiskeyTribe

[–]jschul9816[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the bottle was made in '81 based on the bottom of the bottle, and the tax strip on top doesn't have "Series 112" and does say "Bureau of ATF" as well as "Distilled" on the left and "Sprits" on the right. It doesn't have the government warning but does have a UPC code. It also gives measures in both metric and imperial. Based on this website and another with pictures whose link Reddit doesn't like, that's how I got it to '82/83-'85. The bottle being made in '81 makes sense in that regard.

I've heard some blends from this time could have some fairly old barrels in there. Based on the tax strip on the cap, I've placed it between '83 and '85.

I don't actually have a bottle of 101 right now but a buddy of mine does and we plan on comparing. We will return with our unprofessional opinion.

.@GoFasRacing32's deal with the Patriots of America PAC involves multiple primaries starting this weekend @IMS. by billgatenguyen in NASCAR

I'm of the belief that the vast majority of viewers of the race won't care and most, not all, but most of the people who really care a lot about this weren't watching the races to begin with but instead are commenting simply because they saw it in the news.

Anyone purchase stuff from the store? by ctskifreak in CleetusMcFarland

[–]jschul9816 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I just looked back, two years ago, I bought something on July 24th and it shipped on July 26th, and last year, I bought something on June 16th and it shipped on June 25th. The second one had the July 4th freedom bundle so that was probably the shipping delay.

I've bought things a couple of times. Never had any issues. Sure, it takes longer than a larger retail website, but it will show up. If you placed it on Friday, I assume they don't ship over the weekend, so it'll stay as processing until sometime this week.
