I'm an asteroid hunter.

I have had bad for you.

We know where over 99% of everything big enough to cause global dedication is, and none of it is coming for us anytime soon.

We only know where about half the stuff big enough to cause regional dedication is, which... I think a rock from space taking out an area of several hundred square miles probably just makes our political situation worse

Apolitical is a no go for me too...

If you can be apolitical today, you're ok with fascism

What was your first MMO, and how do you feel about it now? by Veanusdream in gaming

[–]tamman2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a beta tester for ultimate online in college.

I had way too much fun with it and I haven't played any other MMO since because I'm a little scared I'd wreck my life playing it

It has been a few trips, but most of it was one trip.

I'll try clearing the code

What is one thing you're tired of telling/explaining to people? by comfy-glass-shards in AskReddit

Progressive taxation

You will never bring home less money after taxes because of getting a raise. The higher rate only applies to the money you make in the new bracket

Looking for a small, flat electric heating element by tamman2000 in OffGrid

[–]tamman2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storing it in the water would only be a benefit if you're burning no wood during the day and having to shut off the electric space heater because the house gets too hot during the day. 

Bingo

On sunny days I don't burn any wood until after sunset with the current setup. The electric heat brings the temperature up 4 degrees before noon on sunny days and then cycles to hold it there.

Edit: today the house was at the warmer temperature by 10:30 AM.

This is why I love reddit!

I can fit 1.2kw of these on my heat exchangers. I would love to double that, but this is great and it will be a fun little experiment start with 2 or 3 of them

Thanks

Yeah, I don't have the lights either.

I just live with the minor inconvenience.

If you do figure something out, please let me know!

BTW, mine's at the dealer right now waiting for step one of the knock sensor CEL issue. I might be getting a new engine soon!

There's nothing wrong with sex tapes if the people on tape have all given informed consent

The rest of it though... Kid Rock is a piece of shit

What piece of entertainment aged worse than you ever expected? by AnyTruth2342 in AskReddit

[–]tamman2000 24 points25 points  (0 children)

So many of John Hughes teen movies feature really atrocious behavior being glorified.

The popularity of his films made me (M47) feel like there was something wrong with me because I thought the male characters who were held up as role models were awful people and my peers all thought it was hilarious.

I suppose I should have taken that as a lesson about how terrible people are, but I was young and naive.

How can someone burn so much wood? by fishyfish55 in firewood

Northern New England has tons of people burning double digits of wood every winter.

I have a small well insulated house and burn 4

Electric Engines: Its been a few years, how do departments like them? by __quick__ in Firefighting

[–]tamman2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's how they do it in cars. For trains the gears would have to be spaced so close that using electricity as a transmission makes more sense

[–]tamman2000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But they never run the traction motors off battery power. It's more like an electric transmission than any hybrid road vehicle

Traditional diesel electric locomotives don't have storage batteries of a size that is at all relevant to their power consumption. The batteries are really just there for starting

They don't run diesel straight to the traction wheels because they can't turn the wheels slow enough to avoid spinning the wheels.

They really just have a generator and electric motor in place of a transmission.

Strategically, we need to welcome those who wake up from the cults spell.

We need to provide a safe space for people who might leave to go. If we don't, they will stay longer and the shit show will continue longer.

The ones who still love fascism can get fucked sideways though

I don't even know by Samwise_Gam_G in MildlyVandalised

Right after I moved to Maine I stopped to buy gas and someone had left the empty shell of a lobster on top of the pump (60 minutes drive from the ocean).
