  • I learned Kids Playing Catch On Freeways Get Splattered about 20 years ago and I still remember, despite never needing to use it. So, the mnemonic helps to remember, but remembering doesn't really help me

  • Does this count as linework? My understanding of linework is that it's lines that are done in one or two passes, usually with smaller needle counts. Not quite the same as fine line style, but similar? With large blocks like this, you can correct mistakes on the borders by expanding it outward.

  • It was useful for asking questions that neither you nor the other person would want to put in a public post. For example, someone posted a picture in the bad real estate sub that looked very familiar, and I sent a DM asking "is this X location?". I might not want people to know I'm familiar with X location, they might not want people to know they're familiar with X location, but maybe we're both ok with each other knowing.

    But I'm pretty sure its main use was sending hate to people without getting banned.

  • All the math is weird. 36yr from 2025 is 13149 days = 315576 hr = 18934560 min = 1136073600 sec. But maybe they're saying there's still 16:44:25 left until their actual birthday?

  • Looks like a gear ratchet. Slope on the left piece allows a gear to rotate in one direction. Clamp on a bar on the right allows the assembly to be lifted to allow the gear to rotate in the other direction as well. Like a sort of gear brake?

  • The part that immediately got me was the clinician hiring a biller to dispute the $20k payback, only for it to be reduced to $10k. They probably paid the biller almost $10k to get the documentation together. For smaller paybacks, the clinic would probably be taking a loss to dispute the charge even if it gets stopped completely. As long as the insurer can provide justification for the charge, there's basically no way to punish them for doing this, even when the insurer knows the original payment was legit.

  • No, what an utterly ridiculous lie to spread. She would never get "Korean bbq" tattooed on her hand, she's a multimillionaire with tons of resources at her disposal to prevent a silly mistake like that. Instead, she got "small charcoal grill" instead of "seven rings". But don't worry, she got it fixed apparently, so it instead correctly read ... "small charcoal finger grill".

  • One of the risks is the fuel getting jammed. Since they're spheres, they should have very low friction. But they already saw that defects in the coating can raise that risk. They would need very strict QC on manufacturing the pellets, and the entire system must be designed to mitigate the chance of wear causing damage. There would naturally be a buildup of debris over time, but fine carbon dust usually serves as a lubricant anyway. They would need to prevent contaminants entering the core.

    Even if there was a jam, is there a foolproof way to stop the input, even during a power failure? Can the pellets sit in the reactor forever without getting too hot when the cooling is down?

    Is any of this human controlled? Part of Chernobyl was someone ignoring a failure and choosing not to shut down until it was too late - is that a possibility here?

    So yeah, saying failure is impossible is literally what they said with the Chernobyl-style reactors when they were new. They did safety tests on those to see what would happen if the power failed, which was itself the catalyst for the failure. Just say that you have a new, extremely safe design, be open about how it works, and don't tempt fate?
