Some Guy TT posted:Wait, do thermostats actually work that way? I always jack mine up as high as possible and just turn it off when I've decided its warm enough, and even in freezing winter my heating bills are really low. No, they're on-off switches. Most people set a comfortable temperature and let their thermostat maintain that. If you crank it all the way up and forget to turn it off (as I imagine a child might), then it just stays on making your place warmer than necessary.

Endless Mike posted:I'd also be very surprised if the Des Moines airport can actually handle a 747 The terminal probably can't handle a 747 (so they'd have to use stairs!), but the longest runway at Des Moines us 9000 and some feet. In good conditions and assuming the plane is nice and light, a 747-400 can land in 6000 or so feet. Once emptied of passengers and cargo, it could easily take off again with enough fuel to make O'Hare.

I was on a whirlwind business trip across Finland back in January, so it's fun being able to think "I've been to Ostrobothnia!" and "I've been to Vassa (very briefly, to buy gas at 5 in the morning)!"

Hot take: I don't get the Macanudo hate. Its biggest crime is being inoffensive.I thought the Pettipanna visits the Spirit of the South storyline was kinda charming. The gnome comics can gently caress right off, but whatever.

Europeans didn't land on Australia until 1606, which is in the 17th century. Australia didn't have any politics in the 16th century with the big fat asterisk that the Indigenous Australians have been living there for 60-100,000 years and there was probably a fair amount of politics in their affairs.

I know Ripley's just traces the first picture off of Google Image Search, but that's not even an airplane part. It's a pressure plate off of an automotive clutch. Light aircraft don't have those.

Mercury Hat posted:This was bothering me enough that I skimmed through the archives and no pronouns (even neutral ones) are used at all except for being called "it" occasionally. Whether it's gender neutral now because the goose is nonbinary or just because the goose is a prey animal is beyond my reckoning. Nobody has the time to get all up in a goose's cloaca to see what they're rockin. It's best to use neuter pronouns until the goose clarifies which gender it prefers. Vargo posted:

I think Father Pertillä is against the nobles -- he's a self-made man and doesn't respect anyone who was born into their power. Bertil / Son Pertillä did some cool stuff during the war and was offered a noble title, but refused it because of his father. Father Pertillä got wind of his son't deeds somehow I guess, but doesn't know his son refused the titles. I think. The typeface is really hard to read.

Mikl posted:Just FYI: eating canned food which is meant to be heaten up (like... I dunno... Stew) without heating it up is a good way to get botulism. No it isn't. There are fewer than 20 cases of food-borne botulism in the US each year. If the can is intact, not puffed out, and the contents aren't spoiled, the food is fine to eat hot or cold.

Of the states where it's banned, it was only banned in the late 1980s or early 90s in most cases (banned in New Jersey in 1867).

Well the author is off to bigger and better things, such as writing for Infinity Train, a new Cartoon Network series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY6kfVWv01k Looks like it premiered tonight! https://twitter.com/HamShears/status/1158547703585841152 Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise I was honestly hoping we'd have a quick story in which Modesty and Willie just caved Lacey's face in, but alas.

There's potential for an interesting story where Susan files a discrimination suit or something, somehow fights and overcomes adversity and changes her situation. Instead, she'll complain about it for a few more days and then they'll switch to complaining about a different social injustice next week.

PetraCore posted:I don't believe it, Ripley! Even your own picture only shows 3 out of 4 hemispheres! Counterintuitively, that's not how hemispheres work. There's some of Africa in the Northern hemisphere and the Southern hemisphere (that is, it lies both north and south of the equator), as well as the Eastern and Western hemisphere (it lies both east and west of the prime meridian). There's no such thing as the south-western hemisphere, but that graphic makes you think there should be.

A person can be vaccinated after exposure but before symptoms start showing up. Once someone is symptomatic, the virus is replicating in their brain and can't be stopped.
