Yes, that would benefit living children, not potential children, and we can't have that.

Would Nuclear Weapons be as destructive in ship to ship space combat, as they are on the ground in an atmosphere? in c/nostupidquestions

I completely agree. It was used in To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini. I can't think of many other works that use it.

Others have answered you question about non-directed nuclear blasts in space already. They don't work the same way as in atmosphere; lack the blast or the thermal heat, etc. Enter the Casaba-Howitzer, a theoretical nuclear shaped charge that shoots a directed plasma stream at near light speed. This idea came about in the 60s along with nuclear blast propulsion.

Warehouse fulfillment is skilled labor. Fast food work is skilled labor. I'm having a hard time thinking of an example of a truly unskilled labor job.

The first Alien movie. It came on tv once and my dad was all into it. That took years to get over.

Help understanding mortgages, monthly payments and cmhc (lemmy.ca)
 

I'm trying to put together a google sheets reference chart for mortgage payments but I'm having a hard time figuring out the cmhc portion.

The basics of the chart is having a row for the price (200k-900k, incrementing 25k per row), down payment amount by %(set as a global in a field above), the cmhc insurance amount (price amount - down payment * CNBC rate based on down payment %; is this right?), monthly payment amount (using the PMT function on sheets, this is close but not matching to other calculators). My input for the PMT is the interest %/12, the lifetime (300 monthly period, 25 years), the total amount of the mortgage (price - down payment + CNBC insurance). This is mostly working but is still off by 10s-100s on the monthly payment. Is there something like graduated % in calculating the cmhc amount that I'm missing?
