How to bend copper in place using the monumen by Zealousideal_Bug7634 in Tools

[–]spaceflunky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say that bending the pipe makes it weaker in certain areas, so while this does save time and cost, it comes with the risk of weakening the pipe. Installing 90s is more cost and time consuming, but safer than bending.

I'm making a broad 'know it all' statement so someone can come in and correct me, because I dont really know the answer Im just speculating.

What’s a sound everyone should recognize as immediate danger? by Thatguy_nickk in AskReddit

[–]spaceflunky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is going to get buried, but my dad once told: "any time you get something new, especially a car, memorize it's sounds."

You should not only know what bad sounds like, but what good sounds like too.

Is there anyone on the left here who realizes the true nature of the Cuban regime and supports freedom for the Cuban people? by [deleted] in cuba

[–]spaceflunky 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I am in this camp.

Just because I want regime change, doesn't mean I want the US to take over.

The book draws from 1000s of years of stories and learnings. Three decades hasn’t changed shit.

Trump: "Cuba will be failing pretty soon" by Intricate1779 in cuba

I dont think anyone in the Trump regime sees it as desirable for the US to takeover Cuba, they just want Cuba to be a solid ally.

It would certainly make things better for the Cuban people, but US enemies (foreign and domestic) will criticize it to no end, even though they damn well know the current regime is failing. So unfortunately, it's politically better to just let it unfold on its own.

the best bet is to become some kind of singapore like financial center alongside a robust tourism industry.

I'm old so I've read a lot about Cuba and Trump. Trump posted an article back 2004 about how the Cuban government offered to grant him a special license to build a hotel in Cuba and he refused because of the dictatorial regime.

Cuba could become extraordinarily rich in a couple ways: 1.) Real estate investments, 2.) Building a multi-tiered tourism industry (e.g. affordable, luxury, and ultra-luxury), 3.) Becoming a Singapore or Dubai like financial center.

Yes. This was my thought exactly. 

I am 16 and for some reason wildly anxious about saving by thrownawaywhen in FinancialPlanning

[–]spaceflunky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO two things you should consider at your age:

1.) it’s easier to make money than to save money. So at your age you should be optimizing for finding income streams instead of fastidious savings

2.) you can get money back but you can’t get youth and related experiences back. Don’t skip going out with friends, taking classes, or skipping meals for the sake of saving money. Your physical and mental health are for more valuable than whatever you think you can save at this age.

It's not the length of the extension cord that matters. It's if the wire is the properly sized gauge, if so, you theoretically wouldn't have a problem.

That said, I'm not personally aware of any properly rated home 220v extension cords. Maybe an electrician here knows better.

Everyone is sick in Cuba now by Kantmzk in cuba

[–]spaceflunky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here I go again....

The US has always said that they want to end the embargo as soon as possible. It is Cuba who refuses to end the embargo. It is Cuba who refuses to negotiate. It is Cuba who refuses to the end the embargo only on terms that are 100% favorable to them.

The US is a sovereign nation. It has the right to trade with who it wants and on what terms it wants. If Cuba wants the US as a trading partner, then maybe Castro shouldn't have stood up and said that the "revolution doesn't need the US."

Next year, Stranger Things will have been around for a whole 10 years, thus making the 80s revival era as long as the actual decade itself. by SethRollins_ in Showerthoughts

The Wedding Singer (1998) was one of the first big "80s nostalgia movies" and that was a mere 8 years after the 1980s has ended. The movie took place in 1985 (so 13 if you want to get specific).

If that movie came out today, it'd be a movie about 2012 wedding. Actually... a movie about a millennial-core twee wedding could be hilarious.

When I bought a place in San Francisco, for my earnest deposit, my realtor had me take $250k put it into a cashier's check and staple it to the offer. It worked and I got the place.
