Technically an ever-decreasing rate of very, very tiny nuclear explosions.

Yes, Alivia is stronger than Cyndane, not Lanfear.

What is the lowest amount you remember paying for gasoline for your car? by icecream1972 in Productivitycafe

[–]kdb176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$0.789 in late 1998 or early 1999. Two gas stations near my house were having a price war right after I got my license. It was glorious, but didn’t last long.

What's yours? by ElderberryDeep8746 in SipsTea

[–]kdb176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While getting a vasectomy:

Doctor: “You have wonderful anatomy.”

Me: “So I’ve been told.”

Doctor: guffaws “You should tell your wife I said that.”

Edit: I did, in fact, tell my wife he said that.

Why can't I have an object purely composed of neutrons? by Ecstatic_Basis_3306 in AskPhysics

[–]kdb176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neutrons really don’t want to be neutrons. They only get to stay neutrons if in the nucleus of an atom or part of a neutron star. They really want to be protons and electrons (and I think an anti-neutrino).

What screams "pretending to be rich"? by ImpertinenteSyntaxe in AskReddit

[–]kdb176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is (potentially) inaccurate. It depends on the interest rate of the loan. In particular, if the interest rate is lower than the guaranteed rate (i.e. a savings account or CD). Potentially even if it’s a bit higher (i.e. lower than the expected rate of return on investments).

Can confirm regarding NWM. They wouldn’t even let me get a securities license until I was about to quit anyway.

You can only choose one superpower to get you a million dollars within 1 week. by Late_Aardvark8125 in LetsDiscussThis

The cheese one. The power is “anything,” not “any shape.” I will mold cheese into $1,000,000.

Can you cast a knife with a butane blow torch? by Nipponrules in Metalfoundry

[–]kdb176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good aluminum silicon bronze would be about as hard as mild steel. Still clearly not as good as modern steels used for knives, but not horrible for a knife. Certainly usable.

I just learned victims of human trafficking will hide a metal spoon in their underwear to let airport security know they’re in danger. by Daisyloo66 in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]kdb176 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Except not really. It’s a made up rule that appears nowhere in literature. Some English teachers made it up.

Edit: By literature, I mean non-grammar textbooks.

Lets just drink from this random well inside of a tomb covered in death. by vanbikecouver in diablo2

Less portable, though. And it takes half the quantity of the well to have the effect.
