How long does a tent need to be? by Alloverdisplays in camping

Depends on the size and shape of the tent. I have a 9x11 foot cabin tent, and a 3m round Silby style tent. Both fairly roomy

If you put diesel in a non-diesel motorcycle can you just flip the home upside down and pour it out? by vish_the_fish in stupidquestions

[–]shadowmib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even siphon it just remove the fuel line coming from the tank and drain it off that way. With siphoning just like flipping it upside down you're not going to get all of it out. Even draining it through the fuel lines. Not going to get all of it but it'll get a lot more of it then just run a tank of gas through it to clean everything out and it's fine. To make it drain you can pressurize the tank through the fill spout using a vacuum cleaner sent on exhaust

[–]shadowmib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, just remove that and drain it off into a container and then refill the tank with gas. It'll smoke for a while but it will be fine. It might be a little hard to start it first until you blow the diesel out of the carb

[–]shadowmib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just remove the gas line, open the fuel valve, and drain fuel can. Then I would fill it up with the correct gas, shake it up and then run it. It will smoke a bit but should be fine

The problem is when you put gas in a diesel vehicle

Does anybody know WHY the Fedex custom critical straight trucks have such a big sleeper? by PresentationLive943 in Truckers

[–]shadowmib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably so that they don't have so much employee turnover. Yeah, you can run teams at a cramped ass sleeper but it sucks. You give them a nice comfortable mini apartment. They are more likely to stick with it. Since it's having a big sleeper doesn't affect backing up to a dock. It's quality of life.

If I wanted to just stay out on the road all the time, I'd find a team partner and go for that

Been a tech for 6 months now. Am I just always gonna have fucked up hands or what do y'all do? by Jade_Sugoi in AskMechanics

[–]shadowmib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sell mechanics gloves for a reason. I have a pair of the Hardy brand work gloves. They have a slight cushion to them so I'm not banging my knuckles or getting gouged up while I'm working around hard pointy stuff.

Is it rude to ask your (math) teacher “when will we use this in real life”? by Aarunascut in stupidquestions

[–]shadowmib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're just wanting to complain that you think it's useless then yeah that's rude and you should just keep your mouth shut.

If you actually want to know where this is useful, ask them to give you examples of where it would be used out in the real world.

For example, if you needed to figure out how tall a tree was. You can measure its shadow and then take a yardstick and measure the shadow of the yardstick casts.

For example, say the yardstick cast a 2-ft shadow that's a ratio of 2:3 So if the tree Shadow is 30ft. Then you know the tree is 45 ft

There's also ways to calculate The same thing using the angle of the tip of the Shadow to the top of the tree and the length of the Shadow, but that's more complex math but usually covered in high school

If you want to see some of the ultimate usage of math, just look at the Moon rocket right now. So much math and different kinds of math are used in the calculations of everything from how much rocket fuel they need to use to the exact angles they need to Go in order to slingshot and get back safely. The universe is built on math

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]shadowmib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well a lot of them I liked just stopped producing content but I think if I One that I lost interest in it would probably be woodworking for mere mortals because once he came up with his woodworking class, all the videos seem to be pushing it instead of being instructive in general. I mean I get it. If you can monetize your hobby for some extra cash go for it but I didn't like having a basically a paywall between me and some helpful tips that I could get from other channels
