No, we’re a bunch of dipshit players who just assume it’s locked.

The DM describes some fancy heavy door. Someone tries to listen through the door. Barbarian tries to bash it open but rolls a nat 1 and stubs his toe taking 2 damage. Rogue tries to pick it, rolls a 3 and ends up locking the door. Cleric doesn’t even realize there’s a door there. Lack of skill continues ad nauseum for 20 minutes.

Or my party, struggling with unlocked doors.

DM (later): “all you had to do was turn the fucking knob”

Sounds like Methyl-ethyl-death right there.

Like the other person said, a scam, but to give the claim…

Black water or alkaline black water is power-packed with minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.

Sounds like my well water if you boil off some of the water.

Its distinct colour is attained by the elevated alkaline water pH that ranges between eight to nine.

PH doesn’t change the color. A thing that changes PH may also change the color but the PH itself is not responsible.

Ah. So yeah like the other person said those static blades are stators. I havent found a good name for the cone aside from “aft cone” but that’s more for turbines. The stators should help it make pressure (that’s what they do in turbines) but the only reason I see for the aft cone is reduction of turbulence and since this is for cooling the hot end turbulence is actually a positive thing because it reduces the skin of hot air that sits against the heatsink fins.

If you’re pusing enough air you may benefit from a nose cone but it should probably be more hemispherical. Also an intake cone that’s like a trumpet bell might be beneficial.

For noise, most is probably in the blades but you may see some reduction by adding a sweep to your stators and/or adding a jaged pattern in some places like all the new jet engines do. Like this: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/qtd2_sunrise_3024x2016_0.jpg

Granted, on the scale we’re talking here all of this will be splitting hairs.

What exactly are you trying to do, if you don’t mind my asking?

Just trying to quiet those loud fans?

The cone shaped hub in the middle? Same reason you’d see a pointed nose or tail on a plane, to reduce drag and turbulence and possibly noise. With some fans it doesn’t really matter but at high enough flows it’ll become worth it to spend the extra money on that part to make it cone shaped.

Look at airplane propellers. On them that part is called a spinner. On an old, slow, biplane with tons of cables and other draggy parts, it likely wont have one because it’ll make no difference anyway. But on anything that’s the slightest bit sleek you’ll have one because it will significantly reduce drag.

Since that area has burned it should be more fire resistant for a while.

Live standing trees themselves don’t really burn that well. It’s all the shit on the ground and when there’s too much it can get hot enough to actually burn the trees. This is why regular smaller controlled burns are good.

Also sounds like it was only 50 years for the current ‘energy stored’.

USB-C likes to get full of dust and is impossible to clean out.

I have dust plugs in mine and just wireless charge because I have also had failures.

No, the Fire TV Stick is a streaming stick. The Fire TV is a TV with the stick built in and it makes you go through the Amazon Fire UI to do normal TV things as well.

Needs to be either a percentage of yearly gross revenue averaged over the last 5 years, or a multiple of whatever they stood to gain from the policy (not just the individual plantiff).

Whichever is higher.

And don’t let them write it off. You still have to pay taxes on the fine

Also your 9 friends might just exclude you from group texts, and therefor activities, because they don’t want to see the green bubbles. I shit you not.

DIY everything…

The most power hungry (modern) TV I’ve seen was 100W. Most fridges nowadays are similar, 100W but intermittent.

A fridge is not “the tiniest bit of convenience”.

Box fans don’t really help when it’s 100F+ and 90%+ humidity. Where I am it you leave a house without air condition for even a month during the summer you’ll have mold and the ceiling will be falling down.

For anyone that reads this and thinks that cheap solar setups leave you barely scraping by, I’ll giv e acounter example. I helped my parents do solar on their RV. It’s 720W of panels, 3000W inverter output and cost a little under $3k but could have been cheaper, the cost is due a bit to us being inexperienced at the time and also overbuilding it to allow for more panels. It can run all the modern conveniences (for up to 3 days with no sun) except the big airconditioner, but can run a window unit that conditions the bedroom and dries the rest of the RV. If we were to do it again though we could make it run the big one with pretty much no increase in price.

Also if you happen to be on undeveloped land with no power, the electric company often charges $1200 or more per pole to get to you, so it very quickly becomes worth it to just do off grid solar.

There was one guy I saw who was 400ft from power but thepower company wanted so much that for a tiny fraction of that he was able to put in a really nice off-grid solar setup. Plus then you don’t need to deal with connecting to the grid or any sort of permitting depending on where you are or how little you care about permits.

It is absolutely not a liability issue. Sale of a used car by someone who isn’t a dealer is as-is where-is at least in my state and I assume most others. They can even do like some districts do with their busses; they pull the batteries and say it can’t leave the property under its own power. So you get a tow truck to tow it 100ft down the road, chuck a battery in it and drive it away, then at that point you’ve “restored it” and anything wrong is something you missed.

My HTPC has accounts in chrome on there for each member of the family. All are configured the same with ublock origin but only one is getting the popups.

Sentell v. New Orleans & Carrollton R.R. Co

1897 U.S. Supreme Court holding that dogs are personal property. This has since been the prevailing law throughout the U.S.

I blame the places that say you’re “adopting” the animal.

No. Legally they are property, I’m giving you currency in exchange for personal property. Doesn’t matter how you have to word it for legal purposes, I’m buying it from you.
