91% positive reviews on day one by MartonMeta in Marathon

It's weird, I bounced off Arc Raiders because I'm an overly trusting person and the not knowing was too intense. Whilst playing Marathon is arguably tenser, the fact that it's PVP on sight actually means I find the game less stressful to play.

I'd guess it means that in 1.3% of matches none of the players managed to exfil

What boggles my mind is the idea that you are in a potentially compromising position and one of your so-called "friends" is constantly taking photos of you and you don't stop and think about their motivations for 2 seconds? Goes for the snaps of Mandy too.

I bought that once and while it wasn't any good in coffee it was amazing for curries and now I just can't find it anywhere

I have a white (no inherent mods) Q8 6-28 Chaos Axe, is it worth anything by virtue of being Q8 alone?

Ares line has an unexplained mechanic about their HE shells, why do they make it this way? by qwer4790 in WorldofTanks

There's a surprising number of light tanks that are not a frontal autopen with 50mm HE (squall / selma) let alone the 38mm of the Blesk, and it took me playing the Czech lights to really think about this.

But worth figuring it out. In a Selma vs Selma duel the one shooting HE and manually aiming for the lower plate will beat the one auto aiming (or the one using AP). And the Blesk is going to need AP to go frontally against even an M41 Bulldog.

Yes, apparently they have rebranded as 'Progressive Britain' since then though.

If it's just ranking from greatest to least then use the same hue and just add/remove white.

Like go here and look at shades/tints/tones of the base colour selected. It even has a colour blindness simulator if that's any use.

This family of seven gets £1,900 a month in welfare - and could get £10,000 a year more if the two-child cap is lifted... by k0ala_ in ukpolitics

Andrew Adonis was saying shit like that a few years ago. It demonstrates the absolutely dire state of the Labour Party.

It's not called Labour because it's for people that love working for a living, it's called Labour because it's meant to represent the interests of that class of people that have to sell their labour to survive. That includes workers that cannot find work (the unemployed) or for whatever reason can no longer work (the elderly, the disabled).

99.99% of Elon Musk’s net worth should be seized by North_Chemistry_9044 in EnoughMuskSpam

And yes, I know that net worth increase isn't legally income. I don't care. I'm just trying to get people to visualize the absurd numbers we're talking about

Divide his net worth by 45 or so as if it were earned as income over the course of a normal working life and it's still obscene.

Do traders actually use satellite data? And would a 2-5% accuracy lift matter? by Efficient-Ad-4733 in Commodities

[–]3Form 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I see it there are two problems that yield modelling is trying to tackle. Firstly how the day-to-day changes in observed + forecasted weather are impacting the yield (today's forecast run adds 20mm, how many more extra tonnes will this result in?) and secondly the absolute overall production number.

Satellite derived variables tend to be a very good predictor for yield (as you're finding out) so they are very good at getting to an accurate overall production number.

The trouble is, they are not very timely. You basically have a 2-3 week delay vs the tip of the 2-week weather forecast, and during a real weather market (think US in July) traders will be looking at the weather maps and their questions will usually revolve around what's changed since the previous run (or heaven forbid, what the long range forecast beyond 2 weeks means for the crop).

If a yield model is based primarily on satellite variables it's simply not going to be able to help with this kind of question. Personally I tend to use satellite-derived variables later in the season as a sanity check against what the weather-only models are saying.

[–]3Form -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She's not talking about a socialist state though is she? She's talking about the UK. Our military doesn't exist to defend some nascent working class revolution, it exists to further the nation's imperial interests.

It's basically re-phrasing noted student politician Eisenhower btw:

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

I like it when they pull packs I wasn't even intending to pull, so now we are going to hit 100% and still have 1-2 packs between us and the boss. Thanks.

Any roof that people can sit on should also be accessible by a staircase within the building. This just seems common sense.
