not to mention the fact that if you put the chip in you actually have to select which account you're using and then put in your pin, which of course will take more time than just tapping the card to a screen

When were your great grand parents born?

You are welcome

There’s a bit of confirmation bias there. Rural areas developed where there was water and didn’t where there wasn’t. So where there is a long farming history there is generally surface or ground water, and the bits that ended up in national parks/reserves it’s either deeper or not there.

That’s fluid as an adjective. OP was asking about fluid as a noun.

Stagnant liquid doesn’t flow

Ah, was just wondering because it's often at lower heart rates when I feel my heart pounding particularly forcefully, but I think my oxygen transfer may be a bit out of whack cause rona.

Will deconditioning cause your resting heart rate to go back up? Or if you're less active will you still maintain your low RHR past the point where whatever damage people think you're going to cause yourself by not pushing yourself to exercise til you drop through something like long COVID?

Thank you kind stranger

What's weird to me is if you read stuff from the WWII era and before, it was common for people to refer to Japan as Nippon, and they called Japanese people Nipponese (if they weren't using a pejorative). It's kinda crazy that everybody says Japan now in English instead of Nippon, which is what the Japanese say.

They did try hiring a water witch. That didn't work.

There are advantages to building statically determinate structures beyond the simplicity of analysis; mostly related to the lack of prestress which means you can get away with larger manufacturing tolerances.

However in practice it is hard to achieve a truly determinate structure, and in many cases it is not necessary to even attempt it. There are analysis techniques that apply to indeterminate structures so it’s not like we just build those blindly and hope for the best.

Hand surgeon here. I’ve repaired my fair share of tendons.

I assume you’re referring to a surgery where a tendon is ruptured or cut, and needs repair.

Repairs are pretty straightforward. You make a cut, find both ends, and suture them together.

If a tendon tore from its attachment to the bone, you usually need to drill a hole into the bone and attach it with an anchor of some kind. (There are a wide variety of implants and techniques for this, so it’s hard to give more detail.)

Surgery is usually easier if you get it done sooner, so the tendon doesn’t retract or get covered with scar tissue.

Similarly, as soon as it’s safe, you’ll want to start gently moving, so the tendon doesn’t get stuck in scar tissue. Especially in hands!

If it isn’t clear, this is all very simplified, and is not a substitute for talking to a doctor in person if you think you need surgery!

If you give me a more specific question, I may be able to help you better.

So does whether a structure is statically determinate or indeterminate mostly serve the analysis stage of construction or do people actually build statically determinate/indeterminate structures and see how things go in order to improve from there?

The time is not spent by the machine communicating with the card. When you do chip and pin the card machine is communicating with the bank or credit card provider, and checking that the card is genuine and can afford the payment. This takes non-negligible time. In a contactless payment the vendor doesn’t check the card and just takes a risk that it isn’t genuine. The transaction will be settled up at the end of the day. This is why there are generally limits on the value of transaction that you can do contactlessly; it protects the vendor from being left out of pocket for a large sum.

Edit: this answer is Eurocentric. I understand that the technology may be different in other places, though in that case I doubt there would be a noticeable difference in speed.

See, I thought the Bahamas were named after Baja Blast.

> Wouldn't your heart need to beat more forcefully to move the same volume of blood completely around your body at 60bpm than at 100bpm, though?

No. You don't need as much blood flow when your blood is more efficiently carrying oxygen, and it doesn't have to push as hard when it's not getting as much resistance from your arteries.

> And are these your own actual numbers, or are people more likely to see a more modest decrease in resting heart rate, like from 70bpm to 60? 100 seems awful high for "resting"!

It is high, yes. It's typical of someone with poor physical fitness, but not healthy. 60 bpm is a fairly normal healthy resting pulse. But the thrust of the explanation - that the heart does less work by having mild stress during exercise and less stress the rest of the time - stands either way.

“Brainiac” haha haven’t heard that in forever I love it

The deepest anyone has ever been able to dig is about 8 miles. Every team that has tried has hit an impenetrable barrier keeping them from digging beyond this.

It gets worse. The American British Thermal Unit isn't the same as the Canadian British Thermal Unit.

Hint . . . I live in Canada. I'm aware. Also aware that most trips in the US (~60%) are six miles or less. 17.5% in the 6-10 mile range. Another 8.5% fall into the 10-15 mile range.

5% are over 30 miles

5% are 20-30 miles

​

So, what's your point?

ahh who cares.
