What restaurant is better the Cheesecake Factory or the Spaghetti Factory?
Sounds like you live in LA / OC, CA ! I've been to all the places you've listed and all are good. Spaghetti Factory is probably a little cheaper but with their limited menu it's harder to screw-up your order. Not to mention their Blue Cheese dressing and fresh baked bread with garlic butter is legendary. Cheesecake Factory is OK but I really wasn't that impressed......some people absolutely love the place. Another place you might try is a little more $$ but worth it. It's the North Woods Inn. Looks like a log cabin with snow on the roof. Not dressy but casual kile the others Decent steaks & seafood, sandwiches salad and the best cheese bread in the state. Their other place { Clearman family owned } is Steak N' Stein on Whittier Blvd just west of the 605 on the edge of Pico Rivera. More formal and a little more $$ than Northwoods Inn. Great for special occasions. I've eaten there a great many times as I have at the Spaghetti Factory. Great drinks as well ! One more for you....Slaters 50 / 50 ! In Anaheim Hills just off where the 55 & 91 meet and another location in Huntington Beach off Beach Blvd. Incredible burgers....their signature 50 / 50 is 1/2 beef & 1/2 bacon ! Has been on a couple of the food channel programs and & in my opinion, the best burger I've EVER had. And in a place where we have In & Out, Fudruckers, Bob's Big Boy and too many others to mention, that's saying allot ! It's a family type Sports Bar and nice inside. Watch out though, it's crowded & packed & worth the wait of you go there during dinner hours. Check it out on line and make sure to see the Images / pictures on Google of so many burgers you can't believe it ! Have Fun !
A convex lens with a focal length of 20 cm is placed in front of a convex mirror with a focal length of 7.5 cm. A luminous object is placed in front of the convex lens at a distance of 40 cm from it. What is the distance between the mirror and the lens to get the object's erect image coincident with the object?
Umang has explained it well. The answer is 25cm.If you think of it this way. Suppose the mirror was not present, the lens is operating in a symmetrical mode. If the source is at 40cm from an f=20cm lens, then the image arises at 40 cm on the other side of the lens. This image now becomes a new source if we are going to reflect the object back to its original position. If we now add a mirror, it has to be set up so that ITS source and image coincide at the same location as the image of the lens, i.e. at 40cm from the lens. For a convex mirror to do this we have to write the mirror equation as[math]\displaystyle \frac{1}{-7.5}=\frac{1}{-15}+\frac{1}{-15} [/math]the minuses arising because the source and image are on the right hand side of the lens and the negative arising on the focal length of the mirror because it is convex. Hence the mirror is 40–15cm=25cm from the lens.
What do cricketers eat during the lunch and tea break in test matches in India?
(Note: I haven’t been to the food court area where players have their food. I talked with a friend who is an umpire with BCCI for domestic matches. With his inputs, and some TV shows on Star Sports, I have gathered this info.)Kapil paji once said in a commentary referring to food they used to eat during matches that, “Hamare jamane me aisa lagta tha ke shadi me aaye hai ���. (In our days, food would look like we have come to a big fat Indian wedding.)According to Anand Date, Strength & Conditioning Specialist at National Cricket Academy, a lot of change has happened in what cricketers eat / drink during Test / ODI / T20 matches.So for tests, they have a complete meal plan ready for all 5 days, and already conveyed to the hotel where players are staying during the match days.During the test match, each player consume balanced food consists of protein, fats and carbs.Breakfast: Cereals, muesli, fruits, juices, milk, eggs (scrambled, omelette), bread, idli, pasta, sprouts.Lunch: Usually lunch consists of roasted chicken, lamb, paneer etc. with lots of soups, butter, cheese, fruits and boiled vegetables.Tea: During tea breaks, players can have tea / coffee. But, if a team is playing in Indian subcontinent during summers, players take energy or sports drinks to keep themselves hydrated. These drinks contain potassium, sodium, fat etc.Dinner: After match, players take some recovery drinks. Dinner consists of protein rich food like chicken, fish barbecue with salads and soups.During each sessions, players consume a lot of fluids, energy drinks to avoid dehydration. It is said that you loose 3–4 kgs of weight if you spend entire day on field. So , it is really important for players to maintain water levels.Also, food plan for each player is specially designed according to their workload for the day. For example, bowlers have different meal plan if they need to bowl during the entire day or session. But, they have a different kind of food if they have an off day (batting side).A lot of research is underway on the food and diet of players, especially in cricket. I have seen a show where people were discussing the impact of food on batsman and their concentration. We have seen players like Kohli, Dhoni are very strict about their diet and work-out routines.So, I guess it is an interesting field of study for nutritionists and fitness people.Thanks for asking this question. :-)
What is the price of an ounce of meth?
Hi Tim. That question depends on where you live and the quality of the meth. I live in California where meth is readily available for purchase from countless drug dealers all over the state. I'm from the central coast of Cali in close proximity to Bakersfield/kern county where meth is often cooked. multiple dealers all pushing the same product gives the consumer the edge. I know people who would sell you an ounce of decent smoking meth for no more then $500–600 an ounce. Keep in mind you ideally want quality vs quantity. It's always worth it to spend more for better dope. an ounce of really bomb meth…we're talking rocket fuel shards reminiscent of ICE dope from the 1990’s can go for way over a $1,000 an ounce. Do your homework before purchasing. make some inquiries (but be low key about it) to find out whose got what. if your buying a good amount like an ounce ask the supplier for a sample to try. Mind you your gonna get a better deal all around if your in a big metropolitan area as opposed to a small rural area. If your planning on purchasing multiple ozs, feel free to ask dealer for a discount since your buying a large amount. good luck and buyer take heed: getting a sales conviction can land you at least 10 years if you live in certain no tolerance states like Montana, Nevada, utah, and many others. hope I helped:)Addendum: April 13, 2018. When I answered this question back in late November of 2017, I can attest that everything I wrote was factual and true regarding prices of methamphetimine. In my experience with buying decent meth, prices were as I listed: up to $500 per OZ. WoW: in my current new home of El Monte, CA (approximately 16-ish so miles from downtown LA)… $220.00 dollars AN OUNCE..all day, everyday. That’s pretty f—ing cheap. Just goes to show you that like a lot of things in life: popularity, demand, availability, price…whether it be mini-coopers, apple bottom jeans with the fur, or FURBYS..as long as a demand is out there?there will always be a supplier. Yeah, I guess it had been a minute since I’d used meth..and it’ll be another minute before I do again

What is the answer to this question? Suppose we have 5 blue marbles and 5 red marbles in a bag, and we pull out one marble which may be blue or red. Now there are 9 marbles left in the bag. What is the probability that the second marble will be red?
The event you’re interested in is the 2nd marble being red so we only need to consider 2 events: Blue 1st, Red 2nd (B, R) and (R, R).With (B, R) you have 5 blue marbles out of 10 then still the original 5 red marbles but this time out of 9 since you didn’t replace the first one. Multiplying the probabilities gives us the joint event. Note this requires conditional probability.Pr(B, R) = Pr(B)*Pr(R | B) = (5/10)(5/9) = 25/90 = 5/18 = 0.2778For (R, R) you have 5 reds out of the bag of 10 marbles then 4 left in the bag of 9.Pr(R, R) = Pr(R)*Pr(R | R) = (5/10)(4/9) = 20/90 = 2/9 = 0.2222Those are disjoint events so we can simply add the probabilities.Pr[(B, R) OR (R, R)] = Pr(B, R) + Pr(R, R) - Pr[(B, R) AND (R, R)]= 25/90 + 20/90 - 0= 45/90= 1/2= 0.5So there is a 50% chance the second marble drawn will be red. Interestingly the result would be the same if you put the 1st marble back in after observing it (sampling with replacement). The 2nd draw is independent of the 1st.Pr(B, R) = Pr(R, R) = (5/10)(5/10) = (1/2)(1/2) = 1/4Pr[(B, R) OR (R, R)] = (1/4) + (1/4) = 1/2
If you dropped a piece of ice at 0 °C into water of 0 °C, what would happen to ice?
Observations of a tour skaterNordic Tour skatingWater freezing to ice is a difficult process. If you look at a sea when the air temperature is below 0 the sea do not freeze instantly. The freezing always starts at an edge were water is connected to a solid state object. Some water molecules are than, by the random laws of quatum physics connecting to the existing ice which will make the ice grow outwards in the lake. The ice will grow until it covers the entire lake. The ice have than laid itself on the lake (is that an English expression?). The lake will appear as a safe place for walking, and it is, except at some points in the middle of the lake were the ice will be too thin to carry a man. Watch out!To avoid a cold bath you should not enter the ice directly after the ice have laid iiself over thr lake. What a few days. And heres comes the strange thing:Ice will freeze above 0 degrees.When the ice is all over the lake the ice will continue to grow even when the temperature is above 0. Actually it will not start smelting until the air temperature is above 5 degrees.The explanation must be that when the temperature is below 5 degrees water molecules are more likely to get stucked on ice rather than to get loose from ice. As energy is consumed when ice is melting and produced when ice is freezing, this means that a lake that is freezing do produce heat.The 0 degrees scenarioIn the suggested scenario the ice will grow and produce heat. The water close to the ice will be warm. Mayby up to 1 degree. The warm water will sink to the bottom. The water in the cup will then have a gradient with the warmest water in the bottom and a cover of ice.The final state will be an even cover of ice and and a somewhat warmer water in the bottom
