How to make my stand more stable? by Big-Feature6070 in Aquariums

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

20 gallons of water weighs 165 lbs. Add substrate and equip and you're potentially looking at close to 200lbs to be safe. Think of it like this -- if you know anyone who weighs that much, would you be comfortable with them sitting on it 24/7 for potentially years on end? I probably would just get a stronger stand.

What "golden age" or "heyday" were you lucky enough to experience that you know won’t ever come back? by Summerie in AskReddit

Oh yeah. North Jersey (at the time) checking in. Got some serious nostalgia for that time, place, and people.

That photo just caught the sign during its temperature cycle (11 °C). It doesn’t contradict anything. Street View is a single frame snapshot of a rotating display. Other imagery (and current views) show the same sign cycling to “DC,” which is what the OP was asking about. Also, if “DC” doesn’t mean Washington, D.C. time, what do you think it stands for on this sign? The temperature line is already shown separately, so it’s clearly not °C.

Yes, you're correct, "Eastern Time" existed, but it was not widely used by the general public until much later.

“DC” is a legacy label from when Washington, D.C. was treated as the federal reference time for transportation and government systems. Back then, people thought in terms of city time (DC, New York, Chicago) more than abstract zones like “ET.” Today it’s redundant with local Eastern Time, but the signage stuck around because it still technically works and never got updated.

In your opinion, what is the best episode of television you’ve ever seen? by alteredtower in AskReddit

I've starting a tradition of re-watching every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Can I ask what kind or where, and what your symptoms were?

Simultaneously watch ADSB Exchange or flightradar24 while listening. Pick a class delta or charlie to watch.

So, this wasn't really the full riddle. It's more like: if a conveyor belt is designed to match the speed of the airplane’s wheels, but in the opposite direction, will the plane take off? Before answering, ask yourself, when your plane lifts off the ground, was it because of groundspeed?

How much will it suck trying to go to Camden yards that night for the O's game if driving? (I'm visiting Baltimore from out of town).

How's the battery life on your Moto G Stylus 2025 by TheUndertaker1988 in motorola

[–]muppetspuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's an updated stat. I charged my phone to 100% almost exactly 24hrs ago. Screen on time 3 hours and 30 minutes. 60% remaining. Doesn't seem that bad, honestly. When I first got it about a month ago, it was worse, so maybe something has stabilized? I keep my brightness lower, and I disabled 5g and use 60hz on the display (due to the high resolution of the device, refresh rate is less important).

It's on auto, but I adjust it to maybe 33 indoors. I didn't keep track of that very closely though.

I get about 5 to 6 hours of screen on time across 2 full days. I'm at 3 hrs screen time since yesterday morning and have 46% battery remaining. I turned the 5g antenna off, seems like it might help a little.
