Car D is going to have to wait for car A no matter what

Assuming no cars come after yellow car, it doesn't matter if car C goes or not.

Honestly it's nicer because car D doesn’t have to move up a car length to yield.

Yes they could get screwed very hard though

Yes that's a physical asset.

Silo full of grain is known as a future or a commodity. I might not have the Silo or the grain physically in my possession, but my note says that I own it.

BTC is a commodity and commodities are very similar to stocks

BTC just isn't backed by anything

A corporation is an entity

It has assets and profit tied to it. The "share" is a share of that.

Is a share worth it is debatable. But the share is a physical piece of the corporation

Same can be said about traditional stock markets. The prices are entirely fictional there, too.

Not true at all.

Microsoft has 7.4B stocks outstanding.

Microsoft has a valve as a company.

Owning 1 stock gets you 1/7.4Bth of the physical company.

If Microsoft goes bankrupt or dissolves you could get some value out of your share.

There are 19.9M BTCs

BTCs have no intrinsic value

Owning 1 BTC gets you 1 BTC

If BTC goes under you get nothing

The stock market does have artificially inflated/deflated prices but they are roughly based on a company's value. The stock is backed by the company.

Brake cleaner will eat away paint

Walk by the car and spray it. It's clear and will take 5-10 minutes before showing damage. Eventually, the message you draw will show up.

A car with messed up paint would have a harder time getting approved to get fixed. If you mess up the engine, then it's just getting fixed instantly with taxpayer money.

Brake cleaner, crazy they put that stuff in spray cans...

Can't we see stars that do not show up in the night sky? Like that spot looks dark to the naked eye, with a hobby telescope it looks dark, but with a space probe telescope you can see a distant star is there?

You discounted space dust. But there has to be a near infinite amount of asteroids out there. If I wanted to see 1m lightyears into a specific spot, like the odds of not hitting an astroid would be pretty hard.

Like if you had a Lite Brite globe with each Lite Brite peg representing a sun. In the middle of the globe it would be completely lit up. However, if you started throwing around astroids around inside the globe, you'd start blocking pegs. Suns, pegs, are still behind the astroid. It's just blocking the light. A tiny astroid could cast a huge shadow. Even tiny space dust.

Is a private jet an operating cost?

You have to understand what profit is.

If I make a church, collect 1 million from my congregation. Then, I pay myself 1 million for the job of being the pastor.

My business, the church, is non-profit. It had 1 million in revenue and 1 million in expenses. No profit.

Now, I would be dumb to pay myself the million as a salary because then that million gets income taxed. I'd "buy" 1 million dollars worth of bibles for Uzbekistan and never fulfill the order or something. Launder it.

The idea of why the church doesn't get taxed is sound. People pay income tax, church collects taxed income, church spends taxed income to better community.

They are essentially supposed to be a middle man. If i took my taxed income and donated it directly to buy bibles for Uzbekistan. Then it doesn't make sense for my money to be taxed again. So if i give my money to the church and they give it to Uzbekistan, then why tax it?

Problem is our tax code has loop holes

A church was never supposed to buy a private jet. Yet it has become a business expense.

So, feel free to boil a young goat in its mother's milk. Jesus is A-ok with that.

How did you get that it was alright to boil a young goat in its mother's milk out of that?

Sure, he says you could eat the young goat that has been boiled in its mother's milk.

But nothing saying it's alright to boil the young goat in the first place, which the OP verse clearly states.

Ohh I see now.

Yeah 160° is too hot. But people do it. Small tank multiple showers needed. You can stretch it.

I was saying for people that have their water too hot. The regulator inside the US mixing valve has a stopper so you can't go to max hot. That's all the piece inside does, stops you from turning the valve more. Doesn't help reglate the temperature. Someone in comments said their regulator is bad and I thought it was OP.

It's definitely a nice upgrade. Little pricey in the states because hardly anyone uses them, so they are "specially". Not any more difficult to install really but plumber might charge a premium.

In the US the standard safety temperature for the water heater is 120° F

You don't need it higher than that unless you have a small tank and use a lot of it. Tankless is 120°F.

I don't know where you got 70°C from.

If you live in the US, then you probably have a standard mixing valve

If you live elsewhere, it's probably a thermostatic one

For US:

You want to turn your handle all the way hot to clear your hot water lines fast, it's room temperature in the hot water lines. Once the water is hot, then you start mixing in cold water.

The first cold water is from the lines in your house. It is heated or cooled by your home, basically room temperature water.

So say I turn the valve on full hot. Pure hot water is pouring out. Now you add some of that "room temperature cold water" to get to your perfect temperature.

Now, once you run out of "room temperature cold water," it will start pulling water from the street.

I'm guessing you live in a cooler climate area?

120°F + 70°F = perfect temperature

But if the outside water becomes, say 50°F after you use all your water stored in your cold water lines

120°F + 50°F = colder water

So you have to add less 50°F water, which means slowly creeping your valve up until you have steady temperature water going to the valve.

Things like the type of water heater matters. If you use a tank then as you use water it adds water. If you keep your tank at 120° and you're adding 70° cold water or 50° water to the tank matters. You also have "room temperature water" in your cold lines going to your tank at first, then colder water. So that creates another "lag" in temperature

US standard mixing valves aren't as nice as a thermostatic valve. They are just cheap and standard and work well enough in most places.

Thermostatic valves allow you to select, say 100°F water, and the knob just controls the water flow rate. No matter what, the water that comes out of your shower will be 100°F. As the water coming into your house gets colder it will automatically adjust. As the water from your tank gets colder, it will automatically adjust.

Sounds like your valve is working as intended though

Yes, but this wastes water, so if you're trying to be green, you should be able to open up the valve to full hot.

Not only does it waste water, your shower will take longer to heat up.

Also, depending on where you live the perfect temperature changes a lot because of outside temperatures. If you use all the room temperature water in your cold lines then start pulling cold water from the outside. You're going to have to adjust it. Bigger the house, the more the problem.

But if you have to dump out your entire hot and cold lines to even begin to step in the shower, that's a ton of wasted water.

Answer is a thermostatic valve. It will just use hot water until it needs to mix in cold. If your cold water temperature changes, it will adjust it automatically. You really do pick a temperature to set the valve at, and then the handle just controls the flow rate.

The regular for a standard mixing valve is there only so you can't turn the valve to burn you. When people keep their water tanks at 160°F, a full turn to the left would be devastating if you're standing in it.

#1 Ontario being the population of Pennsylvania

#9 New foundland being the population of Wyoming

#10 Prince Edward Island only has 150k, could lump in 150k from northern territories

20 senators for 40m, 5.0E-7 senators per person

200 senators for 340m, 5.88E-7 senators per person

It seems pretty fair

I'll go check out your comment!

I just find it funny that some Nirvana fans would listen to Plateau by the Meat Puppets and think it was Kurt Cobain singing. Like "He recorded a studio version??"

I wouldn't even know how you could change Africa to something else and be liked. It's a tall order for sure. I enjoy Bob Dylan a ton but understand not everyone likes his voice or even harmonica. "All Along The Watch Tower" could easily be changed and enjoyed because it's the music and lyrics that are loved mostly. Africa is an entire package. I enjoy Dave Matthews Band performing "All Along The Watch Tower". He puts it in his own style some, but that style isn't as different as Jimi.

Lake of Fire is the only one I'd say is maybe better. Especially if we are talking about the MP too high to die version over MPII version.

They are all good songs, though, so I can definitely see your point.

Have you heard the original meat puppet versions? Nirvana basically covered them exactly.

Not saying that's bad. But when you look at songs like "All along the washer tower" by Jimi, or "Whiskey in the Jar" by Metallica. Those covers are completely changed to fit their style. In my mind, that's what makes a cover great.

A lot of Nirvana's style is the Meat Puppets

Good covers, but they lack original twists. Meat Puppets even played the music in the unplugged performance. So really it's wasn't Nirvana covering them as much as Kurt Cobain singing.

It's what I have against Weezer's cover of Toto's Africa. Good cover, but it doesn't scream Weezer at all.
