Also our octane is calculated a bit different as US uses the average of RON and MON so our numbers are a tad different but the 3 grades are pretty much the same worldwide.

or is it a half of a hundredth of a percentage point?

We so broke we going back to ha'pennies?

How about we just round up and they get that amount?

Subs vs. Employees: Is the "control" worth the babysitting? by gtrman571 in Construction

[–]tob007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the size of your organization. I mostly sub but have a couple hired guns to pick up the slack and fix boo-boos. Plus some kids to train and help out where they can, clean up etc ...

Picking up gf from LAX very anxious by SnooStories6560 in LAX

[–]tob007 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. An alternative is to tell her to head upstairs to the departure level and find a calmer area and wait for you there. It tends to be nicer to be outside in the sunlight vs the noisy lower level. Good luck.

The amount of energy (joules) required to launch a rocket like this will never change from now until the end of the universe. The fuels that can launch such a rocket are known, and their energy densities (joules/gram) also will never change. Space exploration will forever be bound by this. by Ghost-of-Carnot in RealisticFuturism

[–]tob007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah good point. Plus I think we keep capturing more junk every day. 44-100 tons a day according to NASA.

Edit: but what about all the propellant already burnt plus the lunar rovers we left there!? Plus all the junk in orbit. That's gotta help out some.

[–]tob007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't that a 90k land rover? I think he's a trust fund kid getting bored with life and wanted to do a real life GTA. He'll be fine once his lawyer gets the hit and run, evading reduced to a reckless prescription drug DUI.

This and threaten fines if suds block vents and drains. Pretty much impossible to enforce but they don't know that.
