Using time dilation to travel forward in time, what would it take to travel a million years into the future? by holderupin timetravel

[–]luminairex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Which one, speed or distance?
  • Please post the mass of you and your vehicle

You can work out the answer to the first question with a calculator or Uncle Google using the Lorentz Time Dilation equation. I used to do it for fun when I was bored with my physics course.

Once you derive your fraction of c from that answer, e=mc2 will answer your second question.

Someone must have parked over their two hour limit again.

I run Skiplagged, a site being sued by United Airlines and Orbitz for exposing pricing inefficiencies that save consumers lots of money on airfare. Ask me almost anything! by skiplaggedin IAmA

[–]luminairex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this once to visit a friend in New Jersey. A ticket from PHX to PHL was $192. Booked a ticket from PHX to NYC for $107, which connected via PHL on the very same flight. I had my friend pick me up in Philly instead.

It works great if you don't check any bags

Is a 55k salary enough for a single guy in Wellington to live alone? by Eucibousin Wellington

[–]luminairex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I moved here under similar circumstances, I found the cost of living to be comparable to Phoenix. Got some flat mates close to where I worked in the CBD. 90% of everything I might need was within walking distance. Most other things were doable by bus, and for everything else I could hire a car for the day.

Eating out will cost you heaps here.

What wind speeds do you consider safe? by zizou21in scooters

[–]luminairex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Wellington, New Zealand (considered to be the windiest city in the world). There's never been a day where it's too windy to ride. 120km/h gusts are common and never deter me, even when it's raining.

Edit: scooter is a 49cc Benelli

CMV: People who pirate video games and claim it's because of moral reasons are pathetic. by JustAdolf-LikeCherin changemyview

SNES games aren't sold new anywhere. The developers derive no profits or royalties from that sale

IamA data recovery engineer. I get files from busted hard drives, SSDs, iPhones, whatever else you've got. AMAA! by datarecoveryengineerin IAmA

[–]luminairex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to "securely erase" hard drives prior to disposing a computer by feeding them through a tape degausser. What are the chances that data destroyed in this way is actually recoverable?

Is there any truth to the myth about sticking drives in the freezer to unstick them?

Anybody know a St Pierre's teryaki sauce rip off? by BRY0Nin Wellington

[–]luminairex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teriyaki is soy sauce and sugar as a base, start experimenting from there.

This US boeing was in Wellington today. anyone have any clues as to why? (I'm thinking a dignitary either diverting from the G20 or something to do with the TPPA or the GCSB..??) Anyone? by hmistryin Wellington

[–]luminairex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was in the dompost today, there's a Five Eyes meeting in Queenstown this week.

I can't believe they came all this way and skipped our Bucket Fountain.

If the aim is to increase turnout, why not just hold it on a Saturday?

Is there a frugal way to fulfill prescription medicines (Ventolin, Flovent, QNASL)? New to the US and bowled over by costs. by readysteadyjediin Frugal

[–]luminairex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once lived on the Mexican border and filled up my scripts in Mexican pharmacies (most people in my town did). Legally you need a prescription to re-enter the USA with it, but Customs usually only questions you if it is a controlled substance.

[–]luminairex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mexico - Dixon Street. Full tequila bar.

Pan de Muerto. Better Mexican food and margaritas but a tad pricier

Pomodoros Pizza. Down a dark alley behind the Happy Pants brothel.

Making Narcotics by crownsdownin Homebrewing

[–]luminairex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an old recipe around called Brain Death that I found floating around on a forum long ago. You end up with a very expensive and marginally tasty batch of beer that you can't drink to excess. Haven't tried it myself though!
