A long time ago I heard about some kind of scam or recycling thing where people would make a single functional car out of two cars that had been in wrecks by cutting off the damaged sections of both and welding them together. This reminds me of that and why it is such a horrible idea.

It's called a 'clip job' and it is (or was) fairly common. Insurance companies loved it because they could salvage a functioning car out of two total losses and recoup some of their money.

Does anybody know what type of plane this is? I want to send it to a friend of mine who is a commercial pilot and I'd like to pretend I know at least something of aviation.

According to Wiki, TUI airlines flies primarily 737s, and that sure looks like one.

I like how one guy kind of just casually reaches over and tugs on its tail like a lever and the goanna (Asian water monitor?) is released from its mounting brackets, then immediately pings over to the far corner of the shop where you'll spend an hour trying to get it out with a broom. Classic repair work!

They were filming it because they knew it was there. It had originally come from the white van at the back.

and, before you ask? it's a normal tomb. nothing creepy or bad or horror related about it at all. just a nice, safe, normal tomb, without any wandering monsters at all.

edit- yup just tryin to get some quotes for remodeling my summer vacation tomb that's all. no reason to investigate this much at all.

Depending on where you live there are laws about disturbing burial places. If there's any chance that it's historically significant, you'll want a team of archeologists to look it over as well.

Do everything on the up-and-up with legitimate contractors and they should be able to walk you through the proper practices.

Don't be an rear end in a top hat about it.

For anyone who didn't read the article (or some other thread I saw it posted in - not sure where I'm getting my story from here ), my recollection is that the fracking process itself isn't worse in terms of creating this radioactive brine - you get it from conventional wells too (as with fracking, depending on what's in the ground) - but fracking tends to happen closer to where people live, which is what makes it worse.

The smoke sits on top of the CO₂?

If there was actually methane there, would it explode instead?

No, because methane is less dense than air and would rise away and dissipate. If the flare was close enough to the source it might ignite.

It wouldn't have exploded without being sealed. That was obviously not the first time they had done it.

Yes! Copy this script into your preferred browser scripting addon. If it automatically adds [ url ] tags around the urls then you need to delete them. I use Violentmonkey, Greasemonkey apparently has vulnerabilities that make it unsafe to use.

You can change the max height in the last line to whatever suits you, I find 650 pixels works well on a 1920*1200 screen.

This script was originally created by forums user Elysiume.

Unfortunately, that script is specifically for webm and doesn't seem to touch gifv or mp4 videos. I don't know enough about scripting to modify it to include them.

I don't know what the difference is, but the version I have is a little simpler, change the max-height if it's too big (edit: SA keeps adding url tags, you'll need to delete those)

code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name               smaller videos
// @namespace          [url]https://forums.somethingawful.com/[/url]

// @grant              GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==

GM_addStyle("video { max-height: 800px; } ");

window.addEventListener("load", function() {
    $("video").attr("controls", "controls");
}, false);

Aha. The URL tags was the problem. I hadn't even noticed them. Thank you. Now it works fine.

Really it's better to say we're running out of cheap helium. You can extract it from the atmosphere just fine, the process as it exists right now though is just incredibly expensive and energy intensive.

It's a significant portion of a lot of natural gas deposits. Separating it out is easy, there just hasn't been any infrastructure for it. The US selling off its reserves has depressed the market. When it's worth their while, there will be plenty available.

is just random people getting flu shots an american thing? I think they only give them to elderly people here

Doctors generally recommend that their elderly patients get one, but they are available for anyone who wants one.

Places like hospitals often give it to all their employees to minimize transmission to patients.

I know nothing about circuits beyond kids tv basics at this point but i want to ask why is current represented by an I? ( I am assuming current is the i from context. Also im aware the letters chosen dont have to line up with anything just curious if it does)

From: https://www.thoughtco.com/electrical-current-2698954

quote:

The conventional symbol for current is I, which originates from the French phrase intensit� de courant, meaning current intensity. Current intensity is often referred to simply as current.

to answer the usual follow-up: the reason you also sometimes see Ohm's law with an Ɛ instead of a V is because voltage used to be called "electromotive force."

It seems like anything the French were involved with has a weird verbose connection between the symbol and the concept. Germans and English were pretty straightforward, in contrast.
