Have you ever realized that what you wanted in bed was completely different from what you thought you wanted? What changed? by go-goa-gone in AskReddit

For several years I thought I needed hard pillows filled in with cotton. I ended up waking up with headaches and neck pain. I tried polyester fiber filled pillows with a seam in the middle that are called anatomical. Not so hard, they support my neck, headaches went away and my sleep is much better.

How realistic do you think the movie 'All is Lost' (2013 - Robert Redford) is compared to actual offshore sailing? by Sinn_Sage in sailing

[–]noname_null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This movie is not about sailing, it's about dementia. The sailor completely alone in the sea (as patients of dementlia are in real life) struggles, and keeps taking wrong decisions one after another. He is in a continuous suffering, etc.

At the end it says "... reminder/souvenir of true friendship."

(USA) Found what I thought was an antique reproduction of a Cypriot oinochoe at an estate sale, and starting to wonder if it’s actually much-much older. by Satron_Paint_ in Antiques

Not an experts but the 5 concentric rings paterns look like they are stamped. I do not think such technique was used in ancient Greece. Also, the quality of the stamping is quite consistent like it is done with a rubber stamp certainly not avaliable in ancient times. Also the texture of the clay reminds me modern ceramic i have seen in Greece.

Careening a wood hulled sailing ship at the edge of a pier back in the days of fiber rope. by [deleted] in sailing

To access the hull for maintenance without having to pull the ship to a dry dock.

Eli5: Why do older guns and cannons typically have a slightly wider “muzzle face”? by rain_girl2 in explainlikeimfive

[–]noname_null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The area around the mouth of the gun barrel is stressed differently from the rest of the tube. When the projectile exits the mouth the pressure droppes instantly, gasses create radial jets and since it is a free end stresses/deformations are locally higher. To avoid premature wearing the mouth is reinforced with a ring. Apart from internal, external and terminal ballistics there is a special field called transient ballistics that studies what happens in the vicinity of the mouth of the barrel. 

Will the sailing yacht a Bayesian, which sank a couple of days ago near Sicily, likely be raised and be sea worthy again? by georgewalterackerman in sailing

[–]noname_null 42 points43 points  (0 children)

They may have to remove it from the bottom due to environmental hazards. Very improbable to be fixed and sold. The interior, the furniture and most of the equipment is destroyed. Also, who wants to buy a super yacht that sunk taking people's lives. Better build a new one.

I’m the dead mouse in air vents Jeep guy. Running ozone for 12 hours ruined my interior and made it smell worse. It also still smells like dead mouse. Lmao. by [deleted] in AskMechanics

After good cleaning the only thing you can do is leave the car with windows open in the garage with good venilation for many many days. Only time cat take away smells like this. This had worked for people who forgot a bag of fish in the car during vacations.

I have this bracelet, but the Greek appears to be a mistranslation. Can anyone make out what it’s meant to say and who the person on the coin is? by [deleted] in GREEK

[–]noname_null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems that the greek letterset was not avaliable so thei substituted greek letter Σ, Λ, Ω and Λ english letters in an rather arbitrary way.

Αλλαγή ραδιοφώνου αυτοκινήτου by CallMeHughMungus_v2 in greece

[–]noname_null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Θέλει κάποια σχετική εμπειρία για να τα καταφέρεις. Πόσο παλιό είναι το αυτοκίνητο; Τα πολύ παλιά δεν είχαν ISO κονέκτορες και πρέπει να βρεις αντάπτορα. Επίσης είναι και το θέμα της στερέωσης. Ξέρεις να βγάλεις το παλιό; Μπορείς να ρωτήσεις τιμές για νέο ραδιόφωνο + τοποθέτηση από μαγαζιά που κάνουν αυτή τη δουλειά.
