Mythbusters were going to film an episode on the security flaws of RGID chips in credit cards, but every major credit card company said they would pull their ads off the Discovery Channel if the episode aired.

Got it! Ok in an ideal and I am talking textbook scenario probably, but it would be so marginal that hitting the breaks would be the most efficient.

Because what you are suggesting is:

You are in 5th or 6th gear at 100km/h you start hitting the breaks and you simultaneously shift to 3rd, or something? It might be more efficient, dunno.

I tried, I am not a physicist.

Doctors don't typically let cancer progress without treatment. They treat the cancer, based on how far it has progressed and whether it's responded to treatment.

Early on, a cancer is contained in one spot, and it's almost always simpler to cut it out and be done with it. Maybe, follow up with a little chemotherapy (possibly localized to the spot) to be sure.

If swinging a scalpel seems like a bad idea (maybe in a sensitive part of the brain or parts of the neck), then radiation might be a good choice. Radiation is often also used to destroy bone marrow for blood cancers that are addressed with a marrow transplant.

Once cancer spreads, then surgery starts to be less of an option (you can only cut someone up so much, and you'd simply be playing "whac-a-mole" trying to get the tumors), you typically look at chemotherapies that go all over the body. They can be very tough as a treatment, but also effective.

Those are all well established and understood therapies that any hospital that treats cancer patients will be able to provide, and the doctors know how to use all those things to get the best possible outcomes.

Immunotherapies tend to either be very specific, so only usuable in certain situations, or they are personalized and need a facility that has the technology and people to implement them. Many are also novel and still being tested, so they are only available as part of a clinical trial, and a person needs to qualify and the trial needs to still be accepting new patients. Being new, it's also VERY expensive and if many insurance plans only cover it if other treatments haven't worked.

Grocery stores toss closer to 5-10% of food, not a third. That statistic refers to food waste at consumer and retail levels.

OP wasn't asking about 727, DC-10, or L1011-style engines. They were asking about DC-9-style mountings, or the common tail mountings on business jets. Unfortunately wording on their part.

Adding Customer Appeal as a big factor as well.

A lot of "exotic" products on store shelves simply don't move. You can see some stuff there that has clearly not been getting much sales.

So why does the store even carry it then, if they could put something there in its place that would probably sell more?

The answer is because that weird item might be the ONE reason a customer goes to THAT store rather than A DIFFERENT store that doesn't carry it. And while inside, that customer thinks "Hey, I need milk and bread too... and oh, wow, an extra vegetable for tomorrow night's soup, and... and... and..."

By keeping slow-selling items in stock, stores can attract customers to them. So a percentage of their space is reserved for low-demand inventory.

including food you put on your plate and dont eat, sure. but thats got nothing to do with anything grocery stores are doing.

Keep in mind that the scale is logarithmic. Going from 5 to 6 isn't a small increase in power, it's 10x more powerful, and 7 would be 100x. So, 3 is the kind that people may not even notice at all, 5 is a bit shakey, maybe some stuff falling off of shelves, and 7 is buildings falling.

your 1/3 number isnt specific to grocery stores, thats across the whole chain, including food people have on their plates at home and put in the trash. so doesnt really apply here.

Thanks, that was quite eye-opening! The USDA does say that 31% loss is at the “retail and consumer level,” so it makes way more sense to me knowing that consumers and restaurants also contribute to that figure.

I am trying to figure out if a car (say running at 100km/h on asphalt pavement) would stop faster 1. slaming on the brake, or, 2. slaming on the brake plus rev match downshift, say if you can execute it at 100% accuracy. Basically I am trying to approach this question from the matter of physics rather than real life situation. Hope that helps clarify.

That statistic refers to food loss and retail and consumer levels, not just retail levels. Grocery stores do throw away food but not 31% of it or they would go out of business. Shrink is at the retail level is closer to 5-10%.

Cosigning means the landlord is concerned your sibling will pay their rent so they want the cosigner to pay them if your sibling doesn't. You'd would be responsible for any missed rent and if you didn't pay the non-payment would be the same as not paying one of your own debts.

can you explain how you can engine brake with an automatic?

I used to drive at 150 km/h because in my country the tolerance is 23 km/h at 130. But with the increasing fuel prices now I travel at 110 (13L/100km vs 8) and I like it, it has a very chill vibe

The bar code was invented for grocery stores.

I am not sure I understand the question, but yes hitting the breaks is THE way to go.

Of course in case of ice/snow it's not recommended or actually preferred to do engine break but that's not at all quick.

As someone who drives manual daily and have only driven automatic 10 times, why did you specifically ask about the manual shift breaking?

>Uhh. There’s a little bit more going on but the guy who had the magnetic flywheel built a castle with it and my grade 9 science teacher did not.

How is a perpetuum mobile related to castles?

>Like, go see what madebyoneman on YouTube is up to. He’s a good guy. Or VinnyStVincent.

I did. Looks like a dude who picks on rocks and sometimes almost makes something net positive. I dunno...

The other guy makes shitty music (???) and levitates a "rock" which is quite clearly magnetite, while obscuring parts of the shot. I mean... You can make anything seem possible with a bad enough video clip.

>Go read the pamphlets that Ed released about magnetic energy, seems to be right up your alley.

Ed who?

>Where do you think Tesla got his ideas from? It’s like he was born with this preconceived notion of electricity but that’s obviously not true.

Err, research and experiments, I would assume? Science?

Could you share your source for a third of all food at grocery stores getting thrown away? It would be interesting to see their breakdown (ie. produce vs canned goods).

I also wouldn’t be surprised if a third of all total food gets discarded in the US if they include agriculture and restaurants (like the chickens that die from avian flu and food that doesn’t get finished due to oversized portions), but it seems odd that notoriously low-margin grocery stores would be that wasteful.

The water in the freezer is only freezing about an inch of water(ice cube). Lake water will free several inches.

It describes the relationship between the military and arms industry where industry groups rather than foreign policy, dictates military policy.
