You're saying the bluest state has the least dependence on government dollars?

Huh, isn't that neat.

I went to the RMV in Chicopee without an appointment just a few weeks ago to register a trailer. I had no issue and didn't even wait very long.

😂😂 Fantastic!

You and u/misterforsa need to fight now!

You're the problem, OP

If you want better chances, you could try Off The Record. Look them up, I've heard good things about them.

Sounds like you experienced a phenomenon known as a Green Flash

The world is less than ideal currently.

Yes, you described it nearly perfectly. I'd make two corrections:

1. In reality, the torque required to loosen a fastener doesn't always equal the torque applied when it was tightened especially if a lot of time has passed. But if you immediately loosen a fastener after tightening, it should be about the same.

>In order to have a screw torqued to 7 in-lbs, do I apply a load of 1 pound 7 inches away until it no longer rotates?

2. I think this definition works, but when applied in reality it's more like: Rotate the screw until 7 in-lbs of torque is reached. Because as you know, more and more torque is required to spin a fastener the tighter it gets. When it's loose, you can only apply torque up until it spins.

So if a screw spins with 5 in-lbs of torque, then you simply can't apply 7 in-lbs - it moves before 7 is reached.

Fun fact. The speed of sound through a substance is dictated by the average speed of the molecules within that substance. Speed of sound in air is about 750mph, so the average speed of each air molecule at any given moment is 750mph.

But they only go extremely short distances before bouncing of another molecule and going another direction.

Edit: The average speed of air molecules is actually closer to 1000mph at room temperature.

It doesn't rush in, but now there is an interface where cold/warm air can exchange. Having 1 small opening for air to flow is significantly different than having 0.

People talking about heat transfer at your foot, but I think the bigger affect is how when you stick your foot out, you've created an opening in the blanket that allows warm out to leave and for cooler air to enter.

Better than Belchertown

It is a free country after all.

Tell me why it isn't valid.

If you use cash, you are paying for the 3% credit card charge anyways.

Best to use a credit card that your being charged extra for and get the cash back.

Your argument is flawed.

Right.

And if you pay in cash you pay for those higher prices without getting the cash back.

This is too funny. You people are clueless about credit cards.

See my other comment here.

Why's that?

It's evident the general public has no idea how to properly use credit cards. Everyone has been brain washed into thinking they're bad.

Yes, credit cards can ruin your life because they're interest rates are so high you can get out of it.

But what if I told you you can have credit cards, make free money by taking advantage of their cash back rewards, and pay $0 in interest in fees? Does that sound crazy?

Well it's not! Just pay the balance in full everyone month and it'll never accrue interest. Don't use your credit cards to buy things you can't afford (basically treat it like and a debit card - if the cash isn't in your account, don't buy it).

So if you have a credit card that offers 2% cashback and you use it to buy everything you would normally buy (groceries, gas, everything) and you pay it off every month - you will essentially be paying 2% less on everything.

Why would you not take advantage of that?

1. If your debit card/credit gets stolen, you can shut it off. Cash gets stolen, you're shit out of luck.
2. You're paying with cash everywhere, but only have $20 bucks at any given time?
3. I didn't say my time is more valuable than yours. Our time is equal, which is why it would be awesome if you got up to speed in today's world and stopped slowing everyone down.
4. You don't understand how credit cards work. I earn $100s in cash back every year and pay absolutely $0 in interest and $0 in fees. If you pay your cards off on time every month, there is no interest and the cash back rewards are quite literally free money.
5. Using credit cards in the quickest and easiest way to build credit. Your a silly person if your prefer to do things the hard way.
6. Yeah I kind of stretched on this one. No one disputes in person transactions.
7. You'll know how much you spent in total, but won't know what you spend it on.

No but seriously, point number 4 is the biggest reason. It's free money. And no the interest doesn't outway it because there is no interest if you pay on time. And it much bigger than $0.02.

If you regular pay for things in cash, you are:

1. Risking getting that cash stolen
2. Risking losing that cash
3. Wasting everybody's time as transactions take longer
4. Losing out on cash back and other rewards that credit cards offer
5. Hindering your credit score
6. Forfeiting your ability to dispute any transactions
7. Lessening your ability to track expenses.

That's only suppose to work with family members. You've done it with strangers?

If the person you are buying the car from has the car registered and insured and they're willing to part with their license plates, you can drive it home the same way you would drive a friend's car on the road. The person selling the car then cancels their insurance a few hours later or the next day.

But where does the energy from the sunlight come from? You can keep going with your argument - all the way back to the big bang. What makes you think the true source is sunlight?

Yes, you have that exactly correct.

Oh, well right, he's just stating one example of the conservation of energy.
