  • If you keep pushing it further open it has a detent that will hold it open far enough that even my big nose won't touch it... It's an amazing design, better than a screw cap in every way. Well, at least the properly designed ones.

  • Sorry bud, you're straight up wrong. Aerospace and defense in the US very much still uses the inch-pound-second system of units.

    I'm not a concrete guy, but I know that metals and composites have material properties certified for use in civil and commercial aviation are given in psi in MMPDS and CMH-17. I would be willing to bet that concrete specifications in the US are no different.

    I could keep going. Our bolts are specified in ultimate tensile strength by psi. Structural steel standards use minimum yield strengths in psi. There is literally a type of steel called A36 because its minimum required yield strength is 36,000 psi.

  • You all don't get it. In the story, the interviewer is the bad guy, he's wasting his time and the time of the interviewee just to understand how valuable his team is.

    The lesson to take from it is to be in touch with your team so that you don't need someone else to show you how they are.

  • There's a lot of out of date info in there making your conclusions a bit innacurate. The yen is super weak right now, compared to USD and EUR especially.

    Rice grown in California should not be cheaper than rice grown in Japan, just purely based on a currency analysis. Almost all other domestic foods in Japan are much cheaper in real terms than in California.

  • You aren't having them redline the engine and slip the clutch going up a hill. Practicing idle starts in first is probably way less wear than a single sporty start on a highway on ramp.

  • I'm now imagining a bundle of 2x4s vertically sticking up 6 feet.

    I think I've only once or twice had something not fit the hatchback because the roof was too low. And those items wouldn't have fit in a 3-4 foot bed either. Plus a proper hatchback should have roof racks to put oversize cargo on anyway.

    I'm not arguing a 5+ foot bed isn't better than a hatch (my 97 Taco with 6 foot bed comes in handy sometimes), but the shorty beds make me laugh.

  • The rules are quite loose? Why else would they have eagle eyed officials watching closely to disqualify athletes for infractions.

    Games can absolutely be played asynchronously. Games can have scoring systems instead of head-to-head.

    Would you say pinball is not a game?

    I didn't think I needed to get out the dictionary definition of game, but I hope this clears it up... Definitions from Oxford Languages: "noun, a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck."

  • Why track and field events not games? They have rules, can be won or lost, and can be played casually if you think that is a requirment.

    Take shot put, hammer throw, and javelin, for example. The game is who can throw the object in a certain way the furtherest. I could play a shot put game with some friends at a river bank by drawing a line in the sand and seeing who can huck the heaviest rock on the shore the furthest.

    There's a reason they call them Olympic Games.

    Really any activity with some structure is a game if it is play and not "real", even better if it can help practice a skill useful in life. There is a difference between a running race (a game) and running for your life from a bear (not a game). Between MMA and a street fight. Between war games and a shooting war.
