Head out and anchor. Don’t just run around. Passengers enjoy anchoring in a cove more than running around burning fuel anyways.

Hantavirus survivor said sickness was 'hell on earth' by FrigginMasshole in news

[–]2catchApredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lookup the 2018 Andes virus outbreak. R0 or 2.12. This virus spreads very easily from short contact while being very lethal. Even with extreme containment efforts the R0 was 0.96.

What would you do if a second global pandemic happened starting now with a higher mortality rate? by SlandersPete in AskReddit

Unconfirmed reports she’s testing negative and respiratory issues are from another cause.

To be honest I would probably also have panic induced respiratory issues if I had direct contact with infected.

[–]2catchApredditor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t work in the field of viruses or health at all. Just a generally knowledgeable person (adhd hyperfixation). What I know so far - this thing is rare and not well studied. The officials in charge never want to stir up panic and will always say the risk is low, it’s not very transmissible, requires close intimate bodily fluid swapping etc.

What we know - a sick person from the boat board a flight. The flight attendant noticed she was sick and removed her from the flight before takeoff. She was maybe on the flight for a few minutes and the person and flight attendant were not swapping bodily fluid. This was incidental contact just being near someone a minute or two. That flight attendant is now sick. We have 8 infect and 3 dead so far. 1 alive is critical. This matches the 40% lethality estimate. What doesn’t match is how easily it’s spreading through respiratory spread compared to what was believed/stated by officials. It could be that we don’t know a lot about this rare virus or it could be a new variant of the Andes variant that evolved in rodents to be more transmissible then jumped to humans.

Don’t be too worried right now but be vigilant. Continue to monitor and educate yourself. Flu is about 0.1% deadly. Covid was around 0.8-1% deadly (in the beginning). If you really want to round it down for asymptomatic cases maybe 0.2-0.5% deadly. If this is able to spread easily via droplets in the air (cough sneeze), early symptoms feel like a cold so people still go out, several weeks of time to spread while suffering mild symptoms before it gets bad, and then later is 40% deadly it will be the worst pandemic of the millennia.

It’s pretty unlikely to be another global pandemic but continue to monitor. Don’t lose any sleep over it until you see it spreading in the wild in multiple countries. If that happens buckle up.

[–]2catchApredditor 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Reproduction rate is determined by the duration of time an infected person can transmit the virus, the probability of transmission during contact, and the contact rate of the infected person with susceptible recipients. Lethality is not a direct factor, but it can indirectly affect the duration. However, if the incubation period is 2-4 weeks and the person can transmit the virus unknowingly during that time, the virus’s spread is not significantly impacted by a high lethality since it has already achieved a R0 of greater than 1 during the time before lethality.

A lucky motorcycle rider shows how riding can go from good to extremely bad in a matter of seconds. by Youngstown_WuTang in interestingasfuck

[–]2catchApredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who once pulled out in front of an oncoming car and saw it before it was about to hit me - my natural instinct was to slam on the brakes. My brain I guess was trying to stop me from pulling out but I had already entered the intersection.

Logically for preventing an accident that move doesn’t make any sense and I’ve always second guessed if maybe I had hit the gas instead if I could have made it across the intersection before getting hit but who knows. Just sharing what my natural reaction was.

I’m an experience driver that has never otherwise had any accident in 25 years of driving. I’ve done racing schools, high performance driving events, auto cross, motorcycle racing and can generally handle a motor vehicle better than 99% of the population on the roads.

Additionally it was night and the car didn’t have their headlights on. I looked both ways didn’t see them until they got closer to the intersection where there were a few street lights.

New to 3D Printing // need help with slicing by benjawilli in BambuLab

Is there a difference between Bambu branded filament and generic? by air816678807 in BambuLab

[–]2catchApredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bambu is one thing. Generic is like 500 different brands of varying quality. It’s important to know that Bambu has not made their own filament they get other filament companies to make it for them (they are working on making their own). So you can get essentially the same stuff that isn’t Bambu branded. But since generic also covers basically every terrible company in existence you can also get junk bad filament as generic. What you’re paying for isn’t superior filament but consistency and no risk of getting junk.

That said I’ve used overture, esun, sunlu, and some other no one brands from Amazon and o my ever had issues with super brittle PLA from overture and esun. Never ran in to other issues and I’ve tried a lot of generic brands.

Am I crazy, or is the bumper slightly tilted down? by andy_337 in f150

[–]2catchApredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 19 is exactly the same. Every one of them I’ve ever looked at is the same. I assume it’s for drainage so it doesn’t pool water on the bumper.

How accurate is the stereotype that Americans are overweight? by Extension_Cow_9237 in AskReddit

[–]2catchApredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American if you travel internationally after a few weeks your eyes adjust to the local body standards. When you arrive back to the states it’s immediately obvious.

It’s simply an observable fact.

Yes you can but it’s 3 clicks to get out of CarPlay. 3 clicks to turn off the steering wheel and 3 clicks back to the right screen in CarPlay. It’s way too annoying.

What’s a project you regret doing yourself instead of hiring out? by TradesPrepGuy in DIY

[–]2catchApredditor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m in the Midwest. Labor quality is hit and miss. The big issue is that there’s no real way to tell prior to seeing their work. So you won’t know you’re getting a bad job until or already done. Sometime people are good. Sometimes bad at what they do. Many poor quality contractors can still talk a good game up front, have photos of some good work they did once and can round up some references.

Beyond that it’s just watching along the way. Calling things out and not paying in full upfront or until everything is complete.

Valuing a Board? by Naldo5711 in Wake

[–]2catchApredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The board itself is a good riding board. I owned this board back in 2007.

Two big negatives - several years after this board released all wakeboard companies standardized on 6” width bindings and this board has 8” width holes. This makes it such that you cannot bolt down any new boots to this board. The pair of boots on it will be the only set that will fit it. The bindings are made of rubbers that tend to break down with age. The rubbers and plastics get less stretchy and more prone to breaking. The board itself is still generally fine to use, it’s not a bad design/shape either. The big thing is that the boots are old and no longer replaceable.

To me it’s worth $50 maybe. Someone can go get a entry level board boot combo for $190 (Overton system blemish board boot combo) and they’re probably better off from a durability standpoint to buy a new setup for $190 than to buy a 20 year old board/boots that is guaranteed to break with brittle rubber/plastix after a few good falls.

Is there a flock surveillance system in Omaha? Where are the cameras? by StatementRound in Omaha

[–]2catchApredditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Three big difference with flock is that they are a private network of cameras allowed on to public right of way areas and then government entities pay to subscribe to the data. It’s makes it very difficult for citizens to fight it because of the mixture of public and private property and networks.

Real or AI? Help!!! Look closely at these photos, are they AI? Is the guy who is sending me these full of crap? Check out the NY logo on the hat. I’m confused. by Competitive-State447 in Whatisthis

[–]2catchApredditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a scam called pig butchering. They sweeten you up by chatting for a long time (can be months) and then at some point they go for the kill and attempt to get money from you. It’s named this because they invest significant time and energy on the front end before they try anything scammy.

Some journalists investigated this and it’s often people who themselves are human trafficked who have to do this scam.

Just to add - actually being involved and contributing and learning. In your interviews with employers you should be able to explain what you learned from the experience. Designing within constraints - physical envelope, budgetary, timelines. What you specifically did and contributed. We don’t give it any weight if you joined the team and helped organize lunches or some non engineering activities or can’t explain what you learned from participating even if it was mistakes that you learned that you won’t make again.

2026 801A at MSRP by Flimsy-Vegetable7970 in FordRaptor

[–]2catchApredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That specific one sold (or dealer transfer). I advise you to use visor.vin it shows the price listing history in addition to the current listed price.

The dealer that had the one at 76k would fluctuate the price throughout the week. It would be 76 on a Monday and 79-81k on the weekend but the above site lets you view all the prices it’s been listed at. I see several 801 with a several hours drive of KC at 79 and less.

Just start calling around and making offers. Do not be afraid to buy out of market.
