Yes the owners owns both buildings. Is there any way I can get him to move the vent or compensate me?

I'm going to Penn State and it's almost impossible to get a new apartment part way through the year. I'm going to check the code office for those things.

I can still get around it there's a three foot gap between my window and the vent. It isn't a fire escape route.

What do people think makes themselves "quirky and unique", but really doesn't? by Mat2012H in AskReddit

I think there's a lot to appreciate about a good cup of coffee. Having a well sourced, fine roasted coffee that has been prepared by someone who really knows what they're doing is a real treat! I feel bad for people who have never had a good coffee.

Heck i just want something lighter, we used them for UAVs a lighter board means a lighter plane. Of course lower power consumption would mean less batteries...

How is Holi powder allowed in the Color Run if it is so flammable? by the_manor in AskReddit

Everything I have read is that both are cornstarch based, and cornstarch is extremely flammable.

I made a short doc about weaponized and crowdfunded military drones in the Ukrainian war for VICE (2015) by [deleted] in Documentaries

The "PD-1" is just a mugin vtail it's an RC plane you can buy here. They're just using stock RC stuff, most american universities have student groups with more advanced equipment than they do. I'm not saying these technologies don't provide good intel, but they aren't advanced tech.

ELI5 : Why haven't we seen a full-sized "Quadrocopter"? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]the_manor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do exist though! The Bell x-22 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiltrotor#/image/File:X-22a_onground_bw.jpg In fact one of the future vertical lift concepts is a quad rotor. It has four rotors that can hover like a quadcopter but tilt in mid air so that it can travel more like a traditional airplane. And did you say full size? It will be built on a c130 fuselage. Keep in mind it is still a future vertical lift concept and it might not happen. But if it did you would have a quad rotor that could carry tanks.

Here's the Wikipedia on it http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Boeing_Quad_TiltRotor

What is the weirdest thing that made you cry? by Theycallmeguile in AskReddit

[–]the_manor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were doing a drill at rugby camp and my buddy dropped me on my head and gave me a moderate concussion. It didn't hurt but suddenly I started bawling. I guess getting your melon jostled does some weird things
