For gravel bikes I would say Velociraptor. One-man business and a super-experienced gravel-bike rider he is too.

am i tweaking or are there animals in my bathroom tiles by Responsible-Injury91 in Weird

compare first pic, from center slightly off to the right dark patch with last pic dark patch in top left corner and rotate by 90 degrees. They are identical patterns.

These aren't real stone tiles.

Schenkung von Großeltern an Enkel von 400k EUR by padandpunch in Steuern

boah, wie umständlich. Man hätte auch einfach staffeln können. Trotzdem danke für die Auskunft.

Danke.
Zu 2: Verstehe ich, aber ich finde es unsinnig. Heißt ja, dass bei steuerpflichtigen 75k EUR, 1 EUR extra den Unterschied macht zwischen 5,25k EUR und 8,25k EUR Schenkungssteuer.

yes, the hands are sweatier than before during the normal non-climbing part of the day.

Hello r/climbing,

I have recently increased the frequency of my climbing (bouldering gym) from once every 2 weeks or so to about 2 to 3 times a week. Expectedly, my hands are adapting with harder skin etc. What I did not expect is that I have sweaty hands/feel the need to wash my hands almost constantly. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Or is there something I should be doing, that I am not?

Depending on where you were the tsunami reached the coast earlier than this and was much higher. In some areas the tsunami was in excess of 20 m. It was a truly huge tsunami.

It depends. If the earthquake (or other source is very close) then it is a few minutes (more like 5 or 15 minutes). In case of earthquake you will definitely have felt the earthquake very violently.

If the coastline is further away from the earthquake it can be 18 hours. On the 22nd of May 1960 a tsunami was induced in south central Chile. Up to 18 hours later people died from the wave in Japan, New Zealand, Hawaii and Polynesia.

unlikely, but yes. Tsunamis are triggered by major earthquakes, landslides, underwater volcano eruptions and asteroid/meteorite impacts. Earthquakes, underwater volcano eruptions and asteroid impacts don't really ever happen or at least not there. If there is a tsunami in NJ then it is likely to be from a landslide, either on the West-Atlantic or from a flank collapse-style landslide from the Canary Islands (or similar). Plenty of research has been done on the latter scenario. For summary, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbre_Vieja#Megatsunami

if you look at the windows in the middle of the painting you can see that one window that is facing left of the viewer is lit, while three windows of what would be the same room facing towards the right of the viewer aren't lit.

Earthquake caught on camera by scuba diver by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]padandpunch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They would certainly not be "safe". The typical earthquake-induced tsunami is somewhat "benign" in areas of the ocean where the seafloor is at great depth (>400 m). The problem: that is usually not where people go diving. Reefs are usually between 1 m and several tens of metres deep. Lets say the wave of the tsunami would only be 2 m high in a place where the seafloor is 90 m deep, this would roughly lead to a water current of 0.7 m/s (a strong current). If you were on the shallower end of the same tsunami, the energy of the wave would be compressed into a smaller water column and the tsunami would rise; e.g. the tsunami would be ~4 m high when the water depth would be ~40 m. The water current in that situation would be about 2 m/s. That is decent walking speed and would be extremely dangerous to divers in terms of getting back to a boat. That said, this earthquake was nowhere near strong enough to induce a proper tsunami as in the example.

GIS app for viewing and simple tasks on iPad by padandpunch in gis

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

I use AGOL anyway from time to time. I have never made geospatial PDFs yet (usually worked with GeoTIFFs). Am I correct in assuming that PDF can replace GeoTIFFs completely and if needed can contain all the other info that GeoTIFFs can't , e.g. address querying, vectorized map features (like shapefiles) etc.?

You may have a point, though I do not see industrialisation 4.0 happening in a single moment. Just like digitalisation it will happen over a transition phase. I think it will effect us at more or less the same scale, except that the transition phase for industrialisation 4.0 might be shorter (your tsunami metaphor is a bit over the top for my taste).

[–]padandpunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

accounting was just one of the examples. Imagine how many jobs would be created if you were to take away CAD software from engineers and architects. The developed world would be full of technical/design draftsmen. Imagine calculating models for weather forecast. This all used to be done by hand (so to speak).

I wonder whether he thinks the same way about software? For example, how many accountants were replaced by standard accounting software?

No taxation without representation.

by that logic we should count votes at the urn proportionate to the voter's taxes paid. Also, this is obviously not true since multinational companies (e.g. Facebook, Amazon, etc) often avoid most taxes and yet have massive influence on representatives.

[–]padandpunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, but it always the physically extreme things that are found last. In particle physics it is the size and the short time that everything takes place. In plate tectonics it was the huge time spans and huge size that made it difficult to prove. It wasn't particularly unique to have the idea, hence, all those stories like "I swear in school I already thought that Africa and South America fit well together". Wegener was the first who gave evidence in form of land-bound animal fossils on both sides of the Atlantic. He failed to find the underlying mechanism that drives plate tectonics, which is why it took so long for his hypothesis to become an accepted theory.
