You can try to appropriate it, but everyone knows it's Iowa State fans that take the cake by a long shot. Even a good deal of your fan base knows you guys boo too much and make jokes about it; you just apparently haven't or don't care to come to terms with it. | CollegeBasketball | sports | comment | 2,015 | 53 | short | 3 | 1,449,806,859 | cxuzcio |
"Honey, [kid] stumbled upon the Facebook chat you had with [colleague] and showed it to me. I can tell he's flirting. Do you have this under control, or could you use some help on it? I know I don't need to be worried because you'd never hurt me this way, but I just want to make sure he's not putting you in an uncomfortable position and that you feel that you have support in dealing with his unwanted flirtations."

>Scooters are heavily mass produced compared to ebikes.
Yeah but they weren't before, and outside of Bird or w/e other companies they weren't before. Companies making them are definitely not selling them at huge scales unless it's to these corporate clients, but Bird makes their own now iirc.
Bikes are already at scale, so why is making it an "ebike" making it so much more expensive, like more than a whole bike + scooter?
The reparability of a bike is nice, for sure, I never had a problem with my scooter and my general plan would be to just call and Uber and bring my scooter with me if something did happen and I was somewhere with it. | technology | technology | comment | 2,021 | 118 | medium | 1 | 1,628,890,481 | h8u3291 |

I wouldn't see why he would need to stoop to that. If he needed someone to marry someone else for political reasons he could just get someone under his control already to marry them.

Everyone thought Blockbuster was going to kill them, they won. Amazon Prime video and Hulu started in the 2 years before Netflix streaming was announced, they won. When HBO came after them, they swiftly surpassed they’re numbers and are now at the same price point.

I know Florida has never stormed the field in football, and I'm fairly confident we have never done it in basketball either. It's just not something that happens at Florida, and I would never consider doing it there. It sure looks like fun and if I had the chance to do it at a different team's game I would do it, but it is just not part of the culture at Florida. | CollegeBasketball | sports | comment | 2,015 | 72 | short | 2 | 1,449,810,113 | cxv148l |
As to your point one, I absolutely agree.
As to your second point, that is a bit dishonest. This entire proceeding is based upon the report from the whistleblower. That is the accuser at base in this case, there is no impeachment based on the 25th call without it. The whistleblower is the accuser, and Trump, like every other Amercian citizen, has the right to face the person who accused him of the crime he is on trial for. | PoliticalDiscussion | news | comment | 2,019 | 79 | short | -7 | 1,575,476,964 | f9n4qha |
I'm completely, fully aware of that, thanks. I'm saying that there is no defense for the voter who ranked Kansas ahead of us, and that his arguments to try and give that voter any credence are not valid in the face of overwhelming counter-evidence.
Basically, the voter has virtually no logical ground to stand on, so stop trying to logically justify his vote. | CollegeBasketball | sports | comment | 2,015 | 63 | short | -1 | 1,450,729,586 | cy6ybn9 |
The overarching thing comes down to two rules:
* Be patient
* Be flexible and adapt.
Let me provide some examples.
If you are in a foreign country where you do not speak the language, try to listen to people and figure things out.
As an example, in 1998, I was sent to Poland on business. I don't speak a word of Polish. English, obviously, French, Latin, and a smattering of Spanish and Esperanto, but no Polish.
Good first part: Polish uses the same alphabet. It looks intimidating until you realize that it is mostly because of the sounds being mapped kind of differently.
I tried to figure out as many words as I could; mostly what Polish vocabulary I now have is very random and sporadic, but it is based on what I saw and heard there: komputery (computers - the reason for my trip), dziekuje (thank you), dobra (good, also short for good day or good night, as far as I could see), wentylator (fan - it was labelled in the hotel elevator), piwo (beer . . . imortant), wodka (vodka . . . also important), toaleta (toilet - really important after the other two), etc.
When trying to communicate something, I started by trying to find a common language. I would step through my languages, asking if they spoke each (I used English, French and Esperanto on that trip). You never know what *other* languages may be spoken besides the obvious . . . unless you ask (most of my friends don't even know that I speak French, never mind the rest of that lot).
Pay attention to people's gestures. Even before they know you don't speak the language, they may communicate what they're saying to you visually. In one instance, someone stopped me on the street. I didn't understand the words she used, but she pointed at her left wrist with her right hand. I held out my watch for her to see the time, and that met the need.
Now, let's flip it around. Let's say you are in a place where you are comfortable with the language and need to communicate an idea to someone else.
I ran into this on a bus one evening on my way home from work. There was a fellow on the bus who was freaking out because he realized he was on the wrong one, but didn't know how to ask for the right one, or where to get it.
I asked him slowly, "where are you going?" He was able to recite an address, so I told him to calm down, I would help. This has to be conveyed in tone as much as in words, because they may not understand the words.
I took out a pen and grabbed a piece of scrap paper from my bag. I wrote down the number of the bus we were on (57) and another one that has a similar route (55X) as well as the one he wanted (55). I then drew a "no" symbol over the first two and circled the third.
I said "next stop", hoping he would understand, then gestured to the left of the bus, "That side." I pulled the cord for him, and when the bus came to a stop, he got off. I saw him start to cross the road behind us, so I gather he got the idea. | LifeProTips | lifestyle | comment | 2,015 | 566 | long | 3 | 1,450,804,651 | cy7xjzd |
> This is because it is contrary to how you believe.
I'm just going by polling results. There are very few people who actually believe that the government ought not regulate the economy at all. That is definitely a fringe belief. Believing that the government ought to regulate fewer things than it does at present is still compatible with the notion that capitalism works best when regulated to some degree, which is the orthodox viewpoint. | PoliticalDiscussion | news | comment | 2,015 | 75 | short | 3 | 1,449,777,109 | cxugcer |
Some games are really bad about it.
"Emily: haley never cleans the couch!
1) tell Emily she should leave haley alone.
2) tell Emily to be the bigger person and just do it this time
3) tell haley that this can be the one job she does a week"
Me: "I have no idea who these people are. Are they sisters? Regular roommates? Anyway, I'm gonna try to be neutral. The first one is obviously pro haley. The second one lets haley be lazy while making Emily only feel minimally bad - since she still has to clean the couch. Option three is an insult to haley because it makes it sound like she can't do any work at all... Ok, option two it is"
"Emily: of course you would side with Haley
Haley: OMG WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN ACT LIKE THE BIGGER PERSON, YOU CALLING ME A BABY?!"

>Its ok to fight back, but don't act like the fight's already started.
the fight started the second there is a person in between me and getting the car at a price that isn't an objective number that you decide to give me. The fight started once we had to start paying a commission for someone to sell me a car and not provide ANY useful input to the process except making customers uneasy and play games to get you to spend more than you want to. | LifeProTips | lifestyle | comment | 2,015 | 87 | short | 1 | 1,451,324,460 | cydyriy |
Remember when the Apollo 11 movie came out and people online got really upset because they didn't include a scene showing the astronauts planting the American flag? They said the original footage was one of the most powerful, iconic pieces of historical video ever created and it was anti-American whitewashing on the director's part to not include it in the movie.
But that never happened! There's no famous video of them planting the flag. The actual footage is really long, the flag falls over several times, and it's dark and is really underwhelming. It's not the footage the jingoists were claiming to remember. Maybe people were thinking of the old MTV commercial or something, but they all "remembered" seeing this "famous footage" that never existed. | science | science | comment | 2,019 | 125 | medium | 12 | 1,566,486,838 | exp7blo |

You're getting further and further away from the point.
USA has a massive right-wing anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiment
and it doesn't have any of the advantages of Europe
So no matter how you look at it Europe is still **better**
Which is my whole point.
No matter what "Europe isn't perfect" problem you throw at me
USA has that same problem (often worse) and it's an objectively shittier place to live and work **on top of that**.
So you're reinforcing my point every time you're trying to counter it. | PoliticalDiscussion | news | comment | 2,021 | 89 | short | 1 | 1,630,600,195 | hbc0oxl |
LOL, I was wondering if anyone would notice that part about the advisors...
BTW, I usually vote democratic.
I guess I'm kinda frustrated with the choices for the Democrats this time. We're down to a socialist, Hillary and what's his name. He's still in right?
Hillary might very well end up as the nominee.
Unfortunately I just don't know if Hillary is Presidential material or not. Plus, I'm just not sure if America is ready for a matriarchal Presidency.
If it comes down to DT & Hillary I think that DT would be the winner. Just my opinion of course.
I guess I'm just trying to wrap my head around the possibility. | technology | technology | comment | 2,015 | 112 | medium | 1 | 1,450,645,957 | cy5ubs1 |
But that's an outlier the other way. The problem with UCF and Boxing and stuff is that, like this one, it could end in a matter of seconds.
Baseball games will always be 9 innings at least. That's what they can count on. If it goes longer, it's a bonus because they get more ads. If UCF/Boxing could somehow guarantee a fight would go 12 rounds no matter what, it would be similar.
Comparing it to baseball would be like if somehow the team leading off could somehow end the game immediately by hitting back to back home runs on the first two pitches or something. If that were the case, baseball would be covered much differently too. | CollegeBasketball | sports | comment | 2,020 | 118 | medium | 1 | 1,579,805,115 | ffcqi0m |
No, that's not how it works.

Because of bad press.
But there's no difference between advertising recruitment on twitch and tv.
They did it in a very questionable way which is why they for sure needed to suspend it but I don't see what the problem is in recruiting where most teens are going for their entertainment these days. That's who your audience is / your recruitment pool.

I don't think the establishment Democrats are going to cave into Sanders as easily as the establishment Republicans caved into Trump. Trump is, at the end of the day, doing normal establishment Republican things. He's nominating right wing justices, pushing for right wing legislation, doing right wing things. Sanders would not be nominating centrist justices, pushing for centrist legislation, and doing centrist things. He would be doing things that are in opposition to the liberal establishment. | PoliticalDiscussion | news | comment | 2,020 | 76 | short | -1 | 1,582,132,416 | fi423gm |

You could also lower the render distance, so you dont have to render as many chunks, making the computer work more.

There’s one thing that many don’t realize. A shutdown will come no matter what come the fall/winter. Once flu season kicks in together with the virus. We are going to see a huge spike in deaths just from the sheer amount of people that are likely to catch both unless if we shut down. The bad thing is that schools are opening back up and from what my friend at the NIH told me, this is their current worry. Especially for children. There’s a chance that children could become gravely I’ll and possibly die if they were to catch the virus together with something else. Winter is expected to be the worse period.

Yep, about half the shows end up with an unsolved case. When they say that "the first 48 hours of an investigation are the most critical", what they're actually saying is that if nobody rats out the perp within a couple days, it's not going to happen.
All those true crime shows, what they really are is an interesting insight into how cops think. Other "true murder" shows you spot other illuminating things. My favorite is how every investigator they interview says one of two things when they're talking about the early questioning of the murderer. It's either a) "his alibi just wasn't believable", or b) "his alibi was just *too good*". What that tells me is that detectives tend to fixate on one person who they think did it, and no matter what they say, they still think they did it. It makes you wonder how many *other* murder investigations there have been where these guys **badgered** an innocent person, and nothing came of the investigation so it never made it on TV. | technology | technology | comment | 2,015 | 174 | medium | 1 | 1,450,744,573 | cy77q2p |
I definitely think that a big part of this problem is asset inflation, but what if another part is just supply and demand? Most baby boomers are still at the age where they are living in their homes, post retirement and pre nursing home or care center, at the same time that millennials entered the housing market. So you have the 2 largest demographic groups fighting for the same limited pool of houses, prices would naturally go up.
It would take another 20 years or so for the boomer generation to reach retirement home age, but when that happens it will free up millions of homes across the country. in the meantime it is definitely a problem, but I would argue with this hypothesis that it’s not just a speculative bubble. | investing | finance | comment | 2,021 | 131 | medium | 11 | 1,615,987,571 | gr8g9i1 |

Walmart will get your identity and there is a fee required. The fee is what offsets in the case that a check is not legitimate, Walmart could get their money back.
Just like a bank teller, the check cashier at Walmart is well trained in spotting fraudulent checks. They also have a machine they can run it through which checks several security conditions. Walmart will require an official photo ID and have you on record so you wouldn't be able to do it a second time if your first check did not go through. Also, they only cash checks up to a certain amount. Walmart is risking to take the loss on a fraudulent check because it is covered by the cashing fee but they wont be doing business with you again. | LifeProTips | lifestyle | comment | 2,019 | 132 | medium | 1 | 1,568,813,338 | f0ok36p |
Bernie's age terrifies me. Imagine all of the hard work pays off and he wins, only to die of a heart attack or some shit. That'd be the fucking worst.
The key to Bernie's success imo relies almost entirely on closing tax loopholes and busting up off shore tax havens and taxing mega corporations instead of offering endless breaks.

Your muscles and liver store glucose in the form of glycogen. However, in a typical 70 kg person, only about 1000 Calories of energy can be derived from those sources. Most of the energy you were using came from metabolizing your fat reserves. The same 70kg person typically has around 15 kg of fat (stored in adipose tissues), worth around 140,000 total Calories of energy. \[Source: Cahill et. al.

I'm brand new to investing and just opened and account with Interactive Brokers. I bought some shares in the VT (Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund ETF). Interactive Brokers is telling me the "Last Exch" is 104.10, yet Google is telling me 104.33. Both are telling me the data is delayed.

Former 10 year att customer. I never really particularly minded paying a little more for convenience. Until I found out that instead of adding my wife to my unlimited plan, they created a whole new one for her. As a result I ended up paying at&t an extra 1200 over 8 months. Atts response was I should check the details of my phone plan more regularly. Then a week after I thought I had resolved the issue they again billed me for double. When I called them about that, they said there was nothing to do as it was the previous billing period. I litterally cancelled my debit card got 2 months of free service from att before they shut off my phones, and I left still owing them 1100 on me and my wife's phone. I told them to take me to collections. Switched to verizon...still the same shit, but now I have two paid of phones, and I pay 70 bucks a month for me and my wife's unlimited plans. Verizon also had a promo going and i got a 300$ gift card. Att if you are paying attention, all you had to do was be decent and I would still be over paying you for your shit services like a loyal dog. But because of the absolutely terrible way att decided to handle the situation I decided to be as difficult as I could be. | technology | technology | comment | 2,019 | 238 | medium | 1 | 1,574,397,723 | f8ahtmg |
Visual Studio Core is a huge step in the right direction for being able to develop .Net code on the Linux kernel (and, by extension, on a Mac OS). Until that is a mature technology, however, and until IIS and other tools are fully adapted to work on a non-Windows machine, there is simply no viable option to work outside of the Windows OS. Additionally, dual-booting offers no incentive in a work environment, where all I do is work anyways.
One day, Linux will be viable, and I will be happy to switch on that day. Until then, please don't insinuate that a self-respecting developer is anti-windows. | technology | technology | comment | 2,015 | 107 | medium | -2 | 1,450,291,441 | cy1a0sn |
But she's not just a generic businesswoman. Her job is to make important judgement calls about the digital security of her company, the work her subordinates are doing, and whether or not they're keeping peoples' data safe as a very important part of our country's financial system.
How can she possibly make the right calls about the employees under her if she doesn't understand what's going on? If it turned out that she didn't have a good sense of these things, she could have gone back to school on the company's dime and gotta some certifications, but obviously that didn't happen. She was probably well connected (perhaps thanks to her sorority) and was almost certainly counting on the underlings to do the hard work at her command. Maybe it sounds unfair to make such judgement calls, but I feel like the scope of this disaster speaks for itself.

I typically don't throw out teams be coach, and coach K is certainly not an exception to that rule. K did lose as a 2 seed, but like I've explained before, they fit virtually none of my description as a team I would take, and I think they were somewhat over seeded to begin with.
So you're comparing the teams I would bet on with a team that was seeded worse, objectively was worse, and playing against better competition than what I'm contemplating. | CollegeBasketball | sports | comment | 2,015 | 83 | short | 0 | 1,451,104,852 | cybk11j |

He is the player most like Pete Maravich in recent memory, but he's still not anywhere near the level as Maravich.

Yet to be seen but one thing that didn't make me too fearful was because what the Federalist society actually was.

Yeah, I whole heartedly agree. I'd never tell them they can't, just recommend they make sure they know what they're doing first. This guy should *be able* to do whatever he wants with it, but it's *my opinion* that if he doesn't even know what a torx driver is he *probably* isn't ready to attempt a repair on his own and runs a high risk of regretting doing so.
Really I think specialty screws are a pretty reasonable way to say "hey, be careful, you could potentially fuck something up if you go past this point".

I don't disagree with you, but without knowing the cashflow it's hard to say.
There's also fear of the unknown. Chances are this dude has worked his whole life to build this business, what would he do once he sold? He is probably stressed and complains, we all do, but it gives him something to do and deep down maybe he likes/needs it.
Also you never know with prices. I've bought and sold multiple business's, hell its what I've been doing my whole life. Reason I mention this is I notice there is a TON of people that are trying to sell their business's but you have to buy the land as well. Assessed values have soared the past decade+, to the point that the business doesn't generate the revenue to justify buying inflated real estate underneath of it.
I was just looking at a carwash, generates roughly $80-90K/year cashflow and requires very little hands on management. Problem is the guy wants $1.2 million for it. He's not asking that for the revenue, but for the real estate. IMO he will NEVER be able to sell it at that price, but he will keep it on the market for years and keep taking his $80-90K.

The trick was to use the circular saw blade gun (RC-DS Remote Control Disc Ripper) whenever you had to conserve ammo. Each blade stays around for a couple of seconds and you have all the time in the world to cut a bunch of limbs off. Also, don't forget to stomp all the corpses for extra ammo. You can also milk stasis and telekinesis a bit.
(Pro tip: try to telekinesis-grab corpses from afar to figure out if they are actually dead.)
The "machine gun" (SWS Motorized Pulse Rifle) plowed through ammo the quickest while dealing fairly little damage. Shooting libs off is fairly difficult.
The "rail gun" (C99 Supercollider Contact Beam) was a good weapon to carry around, because having it means this ammo type is dropped. Selling Contact Beam ammo was a good way to get some cash. Well, actually using that clunky gun every once in a while is kinda cool, too.
I probably used the "shotgun" (Handheld Graviton Accelerator aka Force Gun) the most. It's very effective against the weaker enemies if you're close enough. | gaming | entertainment | comment | 2,015 | 179 | medium | 2 | 1,448,964,437 | cxizbck |

He actually may not be wrong. During a mission to obtain funds for the Alliance, Luke Skywalker ended up being chased by Vader and, for various reasons, tried his hand at podracing. The commentator claimed that there had never been a confirmed case of a human racer; there had been rumors from the Outer Rim, but in the coreward worlds, it was never verified. In addition to driving Vader to a rage and crashing Luke's pod, this verifies that humans are extremely rare as surviving podracers.

Jesus Christ is that guy annoying. I kept wanting to stop watching his sneering whine, but then decided I would, in case something good was actually coming. The nerve of the guy to complain about manipulation used in the industry and then using literally every verbal trick in the book to hammer home his points without actual statistics or evidence. Yeah, if you call someone disgusting at every corner, even if you haven’t actually told us how they are disgusting yet, it will stick for some people. Yeah, if you do all the points against you in a ridiculous voice to indicate just how stupid everyone is who believes that, it’s going to stick with some people who are not secure enough in themselves. Yeah, the somber music and black and white background was a nice touch for the people who agree with you - not evidence or convincing of course, but just what the film makers recommend to really drive a scene home, plug on those heart strings and *gasp* bypass the thinking brain to the emotional one. Christ, what manipulative BS.
But, let’s tackle his points:
*We live in a capitalistic society. Making money is literally the thing that gives value. Our entire structure is based on profits. For Christ sake, don’t live in such a society and then complain that cooperations want to make money!
*Yes, gambling mechanics are not good for compulsive gamblers. I completely agree. However, a lot of games have gambling mechanics, so if you suffer from compulsive gambling, then do your research and don’t buy them! That’s like complaining you can’t go into bars, because some of them have a pinball machine in the corner. Yeah, you have a mental disorder that limits what you can do. It sucks. But it is absolutely not the job of the entire environment to change how they do things, because of your problem. That’s like saying there shouldn’t be sex scenes in games, because there are sex addicts out there. Why don’t we have quiet hours in supermarkets to support people who quickly suffer from stimulus overload? Because we don’t change an entire system for a few individuals who can get their groceries another way. We are talking about *games*. Not some life depending industry you HAVE to interact with. A hobby! “Playing my flute gives me asthma attacks, please reconstruct all flutes so they no longer do that!” Nobody says that. They say: “Have you tried the piano?” There are lists out there with games that have no loot boxes and micro transactions.
*You absolutely can handle loot boxes etc. responsibly. I have been doing it for years. Most people who play these games have been doing it for years. Even the twerp in the video admits that this is a problem for a very small percentage of players. If used correctly they give a lot of power to the consumer. Shitty game? I haven’t already spend £60 on it. I have spend *nothing*. I can just leave again. I enjoy the game? I can determine exactly how much and what I’m willing to give for it. I play this game every break? Cool, the developers deserve some money for making such a great game. I get something fun in return. The mechanic is no different than any other hobby with usable resources. I like knitting. It means I regularly spend money on wool and patterns. My wool shop sends me emails and adverts for any sale they have. In order to indulge in my hobby, I *have* to spend money. With free to play games, I don’t. But with almost all other hobbies you do and it is a continued investment.
*Gambling is fun. People have been doing it for thousands of years. We gamble on stocks, on the value of currencies and gold, on houses, on sports, on games, on our own skill, on getting that rare card in this card pack, on what the gender of a baby will be - it’s pretty ubiquitous. Why? Because we enjoy it. Games want to add enjoyment while making money. That is literally their entire reason for existing. The aforementioned pubs add a small gambling machine into the corner of their establishment. Why? Because the patrons like it. I’ve bought loot boxes. I have had a lot of fun with them.
*If there is a continued stream of income then there is actual incentive for the producers to keep supporting the game. To keep adding features. They now want to keep you playing! Previously there wasn’t much point in making a game with a massive endgame. You actively wanted the game to end, so your consumer went out and bought something else. Now, they want to keep making that game better, so you keep playing! They want you to show off your awesome items, so they make the game multiplayer. The revenue stream also means that smaller studios can afford to keep making games, rather than taking out loans to gamble(ha!), if what they are now making will ever be good enough to pay their development costs. We would never have this variety of free games at our finger tips if it wasn’t for the monetarisation options.
*We do keep wanting bigger and better games, while not paying more. Keanu Reaves in Cyberpunk? Steven Fry reading Fable? Massive, fully voiced decision trees that have long reaching consequences several games on? We want *more* of that. However, that means more money needs to come from somewhere. May be with loot boxes, we would have gotten some of the sequels that never happened back in the day when the final sales figures were the be all and end all.
*A university not taking addiction seriously is really not on the gaming industry.
*At my school you had to be wearing certain brands in order to be “cool” long, long before loot boxes. Now your Fortnite character needs certain outfits. That’s just kids. There will be bullying. There will be things that will be labelled as “cool”. I remember when no one wanted to play with you when you didn’t have the right yo-yo or skateboard. You are shirking off the responsibility to properly raise and educate kids by blaming a fundamentally human phenomena on video games.
*A seriously addicted person not having control of their own finances into adulthood is also not a video game problem. That is actually fairly par for the course. If your brain or body is malfunctioning badly enough, you will not live independently. It sucks. It’s not the fault of the world around you.
I’ve been writing for an hour now and really need to get on with other things, so I’m going to stop now. As you might have guessed, the video didn’t convince me. I will however avoid that whiny man-child for the rest of my YouTube days. May be his patreons (Noes! Money for non-essential rewards not everyone gets access to!) or all the additional ad revenue from you making us watch him, can finance him a course on how to present and conduct an adult debate. | gaming | entertainment | comment | 2,019 | 1,188 | very_long | 3 | 1,562,076,494 | eskzhva |

Public company directors have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of their shareholders. Leaving money in the company without good reason would be a breach of this duty.

I’m not using experts opinions as “proof” of anything, I’m demonstrating to you that an overwhelming number of people of relevant repute are agreeing with my point, which does indeed give credibility to the strength of my point without being a fallacy. No, experts saying Carr is better does not automatically make Carr better, but it does indeed reinforce and support my *argument* that he is better. You’re right, examination of a subject is of course always going to be better than a lack of evidence, which helps my point further because examination of the two players is exactly why the writers at 247, The Athletic, ESPN, CBS, etc. believe that Carr is better. People who’s job it is to examine players and rank them have almost unanimously ranked Carr higher. Seems you kind of just went on a random philosophical rant there to say in more words than necessary that a vast majority of the sports writers out there ranked Carr higher because they have indeed examined and reviewed the available evidence on the two players and concluded that they’d rank Carr higher because of it. Of course, I knew you’d have something offhand to say about ESPN, which is why I added as many sources as I did in the first place.
Also, the split differentials aren’t nearly enough to say Martin is the unequivocally better overall player at all. The two are very similar from 3 over the course of their careers (the most important shooting stat here) and Martin separates himself pretty much on midrange 2s alone, which in turn makes the splits look a little better. I’ll trade the slightly worse splits for Carr’s superior playmaking and defense any day of the week, Martin was basically a glorified SG at ASU | CollegeBasketball | sports | comment | 2,021 | 296 | medium | 0 | 1,626,752,620 | h5u3o3r |
> It just seems like we haven't completely settled how serious Twitter is, in terms of communication.
It has legally been settled that tweets from an officer of a company count as official communication of the company. So while I agree in general that Twitter is a strange case, in this case it is pretty cut and dry. | investing | finance | comment | 2,019 | 58 | short | 1 | 1,551,227,224 | ehcyyjn |
Electricity consumption bad!
They should look at the other side of it as well. Those ASICs have a lifespan of a just a few months after which they get dumped. All that ewaste is probably way worse for the environment than the electricity consumption of operating those machines!
Anyway governments could just tax all this and it would be fine. Mining would continue despite it. In fact it would lead to bitcoin becoming more valuable because the more fiat you burn to mine it the more valuable it becomes. | technology | technology | comment | 2,019 | 89 | short | 1 | 1,574,786,729 | f8sqawd |
I get the feeling that there are too many people there to allow for “developed” status. That’s not to say India won’t produce great things and great people in the next decade, but the thing that drives their innovations also prevents a certain baseline standard of living above dirt floor tarp shacks, and that is their population | PoliticalDiscussion | news | comment | 2,020 | 57 | short | 2 | 1,607,626,866 | gfb7hsd |
You got these five bars in the top right that tell you your signal strength dude.
Walk around during your FaceTime, you can get a better signal.
Looking at it again.. 4 gigabit is.. ~ 50mb/s max.. if you had one bar.. ~10mb/s.
Still pretty good tbh, do you live in a steel and concrete building by any chance? It could be acting as a faraday cage somewhat, capturing signals. I know my phone loses service in my garage. | technology | technology | comment | 2,021 | 79 | short | 1 | 1,609,508,718 | ghpmhzb |
Thank you for the very informative post. I was under the assumption that I owed taxes on the discount no matter what. I owe more in taxes on the 15% discount than the entire lot of shares are worth. So good to know that a long term loss can help cover that.
I have a lot of RSUs that are very very very negative. Those are what I will sell first to cover the ESPP I purchase.
And I may take the two month ESPP break to get the $3000 loss write off . I’ll run the math and see which nets the most after taxes. | investing | finance | comment | 2,018 | 106 | medium | 1 | 1,528,897,981 | e0lmrri |
Great. Enjoy not having a seat at the table ever. We will win and will finally know that courting extremist holdouts who spread blatantly false propaganda against our own interests is not worth anyone’s time or money. You’ll realize how small in numbers you actually are, and we can finally forget you idiots ever existed. | PoliticalDiscussion | news | comment | 2,020 | 55 | short | 2 | 1,598,278,510 | g2oykjw |
I'm glad this is just an opinion, just like the other posts about minecraft is dying. It's funny that the game is "less" relevant yet we're getting another, large, update that seems pretty acceptable from all players. By now you should know you that people on youtube go by trends, mainly the "popular" channels. With anything expose to the masses will be subjected to the masses. I agree they're some toxic, opinionated, oversensitive, childish, and power hungry people in the community. However in a large community there are pockets of individualism. We can all agree that Minecraft Reddit is way different from Planet Minecraft due it's polished platform and individualistic characteristics.
One more thing to point out is I like how people are trying to make Microsoft some "evil" entity that want the games destruction. I was one of those individuals who honestly thought the game would be like Halo or whatever but turns out I was wrong. | Minecraft | entertainment | comment | 2,018 | 158 | medium | 7 | 1,521,865,676 | dw769zd |
There's an enormous amount of "woo" around this topic.
There is certainly no "resonance" in the body and nothing mystical about A = 432 vs. A = 440.
To the extent that singers have to strain less to hit high notes, or that strings are more "slack", wind instrument air paths are lengthened, etc., there could be effects on timbre (especially for vocalists), but these are just due to tuning lower, not due to A = 432 specifically. You could have the same effect by transposing everything down a half-step. | askscience | science | comment | 2,019 | 90 | short | 7 | 1,547,057,824 | ednfu4a |
I'm with you...
Ayo/Trent/Feliz is a great combination of guards and Giorgi is a great big man. We have Kofi coming in filling our biggest need and our team is mostly in-tact from last year (except Jordan basically).
**The biggest questions that will determine how our season goes:**
1. How does Kofi fit into our system and can he play well with Giorgi?
2. Do Griffin or Tevian (and to a lesser extent Da'Monte and Kipper) step it up a notch?
3. Can Ayo/Trent/Feliz play consistently well and mesh with each other when it matters most?
4. Will Verdonk be ready to contribute big minutes this year?
**The biggest questions that will determine if we can build into 2020-21:**
1. Can we recruit an Ayo replacement (Adam Miller & DJ Steward / Andre Curbelo would be huge for us)
2. Can Griffin/Tevian/Da'Monte take it to the next level?
3. How do our Sit 1 Play 2 transfers work out?
4. What's the ceiling for Kofi and Verdonk?
5. Does Kouma come back and what's the ceiling for Kouma and Hamlin? | CollegeBasketball | sports | comment | 2,019 | 180 | medium | 1 | 1,567,638,144 | ez0kox0 |
Im not talking about not censoring pedo rings since that is child abuse and is inherently harmful to the children. I'm talking about things like 2 consenting 17 year olds making a sex tape being considered production of child porn where even they could be in legal trouble for that.
And about nazi shit as much as i hate them and their opinions i believe they have a right to have em cause without the right to speak about them you will just get underground nazi groups that have 0 differing opinions and just turns into a 100% echo chamber. Even if some already are echo chambers atleast the random person can stumble in there and talk to them and try and help them see the other side with a forced echo chamber they will just downward spiral and most likely be even more radicalized. A person can be radicalized even if it is banned but a person is alot harder to un radicalize if it is banned | technology | technology | comment | 2,021 | 168 | medium | 1 | 1,634,328,815 | hgs4fvb |
Checks and balances only seemed to fail, but if you apply a little critical thinking you notice that things like the patriot act have more support from the other branches than you'd imagine, then realize our system is corrupt like every other system and that's probably what we should focus on. Sanders doesn't take bribes, that should be a big reason for you to like and trust him, not to mention that he's never shown any willingness to screw people over in Vermont. | PoliticalDiscussion | news | comment | 2,015 | 83 | short | 4 | 1,451,176,568 | cyc97y9 |
Since you're all on PCs with Windows 10 edition, you have the same options that Java players have and don't have to return it if you don't want to.
You might get advice from others here that you should all return and get Java instead since you all have PCs. There are many good reasons to do that, and some reasons why you might not want to do that. But you can do what you're asking about with what you have already.
Your options on either Bedrock (Win10) or Java
1. Buy a realm
2. Run your own server on a PC you leave running all the time
3. Find a free server provider
4. Buy a server
For the server options, you just have to make sure you find instructions specifically for Bedrock, not for Java. | Minecraft | entertainment | comment | 2,021 | 137 | medium | 1 | 1,610,866,437 | gjjy4th |
...they're referring to the military
Edit: And for what it's worth, they never said anything about believing the people who signed up for these jobs are signing up to murder people, that's something that your brought up and stuck on their argument. This is known as the "straw man fallacy", and I highly recommend you look it up and consider with an objective mind whether what you wrote falls under it.
What they did say is that the aim of the job is to try and end lives, which, regardless of the base reasons behind it, is absolutely what the military does. And addressing police, every officer knows that they may come into a situation where they need to end a life in order to protect themselves or others, and they knew this when they took the job. The aim of that job obviously isn't to end lives, but it is absolutely a part of that job that goes well beyond what EMTs and healthcare workers and other first responders who undergo trauma are ever expected to deal with.
I want to address something else you said earlier:
>According to people in the comments here, you should absolutely ask them because they signed up for it and decided to put the uniform on.
To be absolutely clear, I vehemently disagree with this view, and I think no matter if it's a cop, a nurse, an EMT, a veteran, or anyone else whose dealt with trauma in their work, asking them about it and digging into their worst memories is all together reprehensible. | LifeProTips | lifestyle | comment | 2,021 | 262 | medium | 11 | 1,615,503,808 | gqmneep |
The reason it's for the "rest of 2020" is because they have a backlog. They don't get paid for any of the masks until they actually produce them. This thing took off because a bunch of numbnuts thought that $14m was booked revenue. It's just backlog. And a lot of it might get cancelled.
That's why I told people it wasn't even a $10 stock. | investing | finance | comment | 2,020 | 65 | short | 1 | 1,583,904,705 | fk6k75n |
There are two quantities (permeability and permittivity of free space) that determine how the electric and magnetic fields behave. Light is an oscillating electric and magnetic field, and those two quantities determine the speed they travel. Because light is massless it cannot travel slower than it's slowest speed.
Special relativity starts by stating that the laws of physics are the same no matter how fast you are going. Permittivity and permeability of free space are part of those laws, so light always travels at c regardless of how or when it's measured. All of the weird special relativity effects fall from this. Basically the question becomes
"will two people travelling at different speeds agree on the speed of light in a vacuum, or the length of an object?
The speed of light in a vacuum is always c."
"Will two people travelling at different speeds agree on how much time has passed or the speed of light in a vacuum?
The speed of light in a vacuum is always c."
"Will two people travelling at different speeds agree that an event happened simultaneously, or on the speed of light in a vacuum?
The speed of light in a vacuum is always c."
It's that last point that trips up causality. If we can't agree that two events happen simultaneously, then different observers may see A happen before B, B happen before A, or A and B happen at the same time. You could construct a thought experiment where an FTL message arrives before it is sent, and violate causality. | askscience | science | comment | 2,017 | 259 | medium | 13 | 1,488,829,623 | del4q60 |
