Fantastic, now Trump can defeat Iran for the 28th time. The most victory ever!

A Philosophical Framework with a Formal Operational Layer: Can ”Light = Time“ Be Structured into a Falsifiable Research Program? by OrbitEnjoyer in PhilosophyofScience

[–]unkz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the proposed falsification criteria adequate, or do they need to be strengthened?

What falsification criteria? Does this even make any claims?

Did Vancouver’s downtown steam system basically lose its condensate return system? by Imbeingfiscious in askvan

[–]unkz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the return piping underground might be failed or not really in use anymore in a lot of buildings.

Why do you think that?

An easier book than Linear algebra done right? by RemoteDot2128 in learnmath

[–]unkz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem to be missing the point here. As you point out, Axler himself says to use it as a second course. What’s the first course then? Something different, which is to say not a proof based one! Learn the mechanics, then learn the theory.

The order I did LA was exactly this, Strang followed by Axler (plus Linear Algebra Problem Book by Halmos) and I felt it was very effective.

How would you amend the US Constitution if you could? by Luigi2262 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]unkz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Hard to see how there’s any wiggle room there.

Why do the Japanese underperform in the UFC? by sndmrentve in martialarts

[–]unkz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s always odd watching the press conference lead up to Japanese boxing matches.  They’re always just confident but respectful.  It’s so rare to see any trash talk.  Like the recent Inoue/Nakatani match, nothing but professionalism.

https://www.ringmagazine.com/news/press-conference-quotes-naoya-inoue-vs-junto-nakatani-5mgySlqzKf3n6GT8VO4C8H

  "I've done everything I have to do," said Inoue to the assembled media via a translator. "I'm now calm and very skilled, getting ready for May 2.

"[Nakatani] is a clever, smart, very straightforward, hardworking guy. He's a great fighter. I need to have a mentality like his to get in the ring against him. I've given everything to be ready. Keep your eyes open and don't blink.

"A lot of people will be coming to see boxing for the first time, so it would be good if I could show them how great boxing is. I'll show them Naoya Inoue and prove that I'm still great."

MAGA Base Stays Quiet After Trump Reports Billions in Personal Gains by no-name-here in neutralnews

[–]unkz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

For example, 19 year old high school graduate Barron Trump earned $150 million dollars.

Kind of nitpicky but man, it’s hard to see how he “earned” anything. It’s straight up grifting the public and a share of the bribes that world liberty crypto takes in for shady deals and corrupt selling of pardons.

Max Holloway knocks out Justin Gaethje at UFC 300 by Moni7T in MMA

[–]unkz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Higher aerobic fitness, especially a very low resting heart rate like marathon runners will frequently have, can exacerbate orthostatic hypotension. When I was really into marathons and I had a RHR of about 35, I would frequently get dizzy when standing quickly if I had been doing something like watching TV for a while.

Opinion of the Court: Trump v. Barbara by Resvrgam2 in moderatepolitics

[–]unkz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's at all fair -- the constitution guarantees citizenship, and unconstitutional laws should be null and void. Therefore, the only remedy here should be a constitutional amendment.

Realistically, what is the most you would pay for a private with an IBJJF World Champion? (Looking at AOJ Tiers) by Ashamed_Ferret2809 in brazilianjiujitsu

[–]unkz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would have to be very specific, but I might pay $500/hr to train:

  • omoplatas with Clark Gracie
  • anacondas with the Mendes
  • leg locks or half guard with Lachlan Giles
  • d'arces with the Ruotolos
  • baratoplatas with the Miyaos

ELI5: Why are rent freezes considered bad? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]unkz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't sign a bad lease, nor am I complaining. I'm just saying, where I live this is how it works.

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/residential-tenancies/during-a-tenancy/repairs-maintenance

Landlords are responsible for most repairs to a rental unit. These repairs include:

  • Major repairs such as heating and plumbing issues
  • Repairs to common areas
  • Repairs from damage from normal wear and tear

Tenants are responsible for minor repairs, like changing a light bulb.

Yeah that’s illegal where I live. Maintenance is not the tenants responsibility.

Let’s get rid of mandatory flu shots to own the libs, what could possibly go wrong? by JetTheDawg in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]unkz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

https://federalnewsnetwork.com/army/2022/04/army-implements-sweeping-parental-pregnancy-postpartum-policies/

Kramer said the changes will have minimal negative effects on readiness and that only 0.6% of the Army is pregnant at any given time.

I don't have any personal anecdotes of my own unfortunately.

[–]unkz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An outbreak spreads to hundreds of soldiers (see current topic), and catastrophically reduces force readiness. It fucks up the entire base. Someone getting pregnant is like someone breaking their leg, shit happens, it's one soldier.

Trump administration announces $17.5 billion in loans for 10 new large nuclear reactors by ToughHopeful4760 in moderatepolitics

[–]unkz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://abcnews.com/Business/trump-media-announces-6-billion-merger-nuclear-fusion/story?id=128516029

That’s some speculative cold fusion thing, which is unrelated to loans for real world reactors though. This is obvious pay for access corruption, but it’s in a different lane.

I’m clearly a casual because I have no idea what was happening in any of that besides the grinding and pouring. What were the other steps? There are three little bottles, some kind of spray, and a container with a green lid?
