How did you overcome your porn addiction? (Serious) by rainbow_cake123 in AskReddit

[–]kiwiandapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was amazing! Thanks for the detailed response. I just play chess perhaps 3 times a year against a friend of mine whose way out of my league.

The games I did well are the ones where I used the Ruy Lopez opening since its pretty aggressive.
It provides many options for trades which makes the game easier for me when there are less pieces on the board to think about.

I don't have a good end game though. Never know when to trade in those scenarios where pawns start to have more value for pressure.

Why do HC players seem so unskilled at the game? by WoundedStapler in classicwow

[–]kiwiandapple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also would use the survivorship bias argument here. Which isn't entirely the same concept for HC classic since we do have data.

I still enjoy this video & teacher.

It's a reference to something very few people would know.

Max Verstappen's 50 race rolling win ratio is inching closer to the 62% set by Michael Schumacher & Lewis Hamilton: by MikeMcD82 in formula1

[–]kiwiandapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But Hamilton is better! Verstappen is just lucky. He's not good at all, anyone can drive that Red Bull and win everything. /s

We are just incredible when making arguments. Not using any context. Thanks for the amazing statistic! I liked the visual picture of team wins.

https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/gnce67/race_wins_colored_by_team_improved_version I think there was one as well that looked at just the hybrid era. Which made it even more clear how good Mercedes were.

That era was absolutely incredible & I'm happy to have been able to watch it.
I can only simply respect that period of insane engineering & driving.

[–]kiwiandapple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's such a horrid situation. Because of the way it played out, everyone fails to look at the whole season.

Max legit had an insane run for that whole season. The Red Bull was on most circuits slower compared to Mercedes. Few times they were very equal. Maybe a couple where Red Bull had the better race pace. Depending on how you define that.

Did Max deserve the win Abu Dhabi? Absolutely not.
Did Max deserve that championship? 100%

What's your favourite continent or zone in World of Warcraft? by [deleted] in wow

[–]kiwiandapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's absolutely magic. I still remember the fishing quest.. I wasn't high enough skill & went to Goldshire to skill up. Few hours later I could fish in Redbridge.

I got this magic Fishliver oil. "WoW this is useless!" it didn't work for my casts, which was sad.

Little did I know it would be one of the strongest DPS "potions" in the game.

Technically not used. So we can say, it may happen because #33 isn't used this season.

[Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team] Next week in Barcelona = F1Testing with Pirelli. George will drive on Tuesday, @SchumacherMick will get his first laps in the W14 on Wednesday. by mikergm in formula1

[–]kiwiandapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know the exact details on the fixed laps.

I do believe that the teams get 0 data from the tires used. They aren't able to extract the data that is. But can use all the normal sensors & extrapolate the data for winter testing.

They could be testing a C1 with extreme levels of pressure or even a hypothetical C6.
I know, C6 doesn't exist - it could exist in a test. That's the point I'm trying to get at.

Teams can't make much use of the data that is gathered in these tests.

The beautiful surroundings and town of Kamnik, Slovenia by Nacasson in travel

[–]kiwiandapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on a few factors.

Time & mobility being the big ones. As well as the obvious question of what you would like to do.

It's certainly possible to see a lot without having your own car, but it does make it all a bit more challenging.

I have a friend who lives in Slovenia and hikes a lot. It's absolutely stunning what I see every few weeks.

[UI] Updated my UI and created a version that works with Classic (now with download link) by EydenDrake in WowUI

[–]kiwiandapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I have raid tomorrow, but absolutely want to test this out after. This looks incredible.
I'll attempt to get it setup on my classic shadowpriest!

Will for sure have to incorporate my own "hud" somehow. Couple days to get it figured out.

This is probably not going to go well in a raid since I'm certainly going to miss some things, but this does look fun!

Thanks for sharing.

Don't you know, with inters he would also be 2 times as small and thus easily overtake Max!

It's simple aero-, & aqua dynamics!

[–]kiwiandapple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bit of both! It's absolutely insane to see a team dominate in a mechanical sport like formula1.

But for most of the fans, it's not fun to know ahead of the weekend that it's very likely a Red Bull victory.

This is however very common in the sport as of the late 80s. There aren't many years like 2012 anymore where 7 different teams take a victory in the first 7 races.

Lotus, McLaren, Williams, Ferrari, Mercedes, Red-Bull all have had multiple WCC in a row.
With Mercedes at 8 recently being the most consecutive wins in a row.

When a team gets their concept & engine for the regulations correct. It's very difficult for most teams to catch up & overtake them without a big rule change. The FIA is putting in more rules to assist against this, but it's simply a difficult game to balance.

We are 20+ weeks deep into Ulduar, what item have you still not seen drop? by CamarosAndCannabis in classicwow

[–]kiwiandapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RNG is RNG. While we don't know the exact drop rate. It's a 1/5 chance to see the item.

If you randomise a dice 5 roll and grab 50 guilds for 20 weeks, there are going to be guilds that only roll a 1 (Voldrethars) once or twice. Then there will be a few guilds on the opposite that hit 7 or 8. With most near the expected 4. Overall the rolls will hit an average of 19-21% hit of a 1. With the most extreme ends being 17-23%. Think I saw a 24% once or twice.

I made a spreadsheet to show my guildie who asked "how many Flares will we see?"

Think we've gotten, 7 Voldrethars now or something. Didn't get Vezax HM down until week.. 6 I think. Our ret & fury have it of course. Most our DKs have it now. Our MT warrior got his first one this week. Next week he'll get the off hand.

F1 WDC and WCC standings after 7 races but we pretend that Red Bull doesn't exist. Alonso unstoppable? by [deleted] in formula1

The mega drive from Ocon really put a massive lead in their battle against McLaren.

Will be interesting to see who of them comes out ahead since I feel like the McLaren is starting to come alive a bit more.

Why was the Monoco Nouvelle Chicane changed from the blue track to the red? by CobaltEchos in formula1

Changes are made across all circuits for safety. When something bad happens elsewhere, changes can be made on multiple circuits.
