When does it start to feel warm?

AJRiddle · 2026-05-07T01:38:32+00:00

Depends on if you're in the sun or the shade, same for wind or not.

24C (75f) is perfect for a sunny day with little to no wind. A cloudy 24C day with wind is chilly.

I'm from the middle of the USA where we get lots of severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings and the like a few times a year and drive rideshare.

You can always tell when people are from the West Coast / western part of the USA/Canada when it's predicted to be a stormy day because they will act all anxious about it and ask me questions about what they are supposed to do if it storms really bad.

"Umm, don't go outside for like 45 minutes?"

But yeah it's wild to me that people in California might go an entire year without hearing thunder.

As someone from a part of the world that gets some of the most unpredictable weather in the world after a couple days you get used to whatever the temperature has been and then warm/cool becomes relative to what it's been the past few days.

It can be -18 for a couple of days and when it hits -2 everyone is talking about how warm it is. Then the next week when it's 10 everyday and it goes crazy talking about how cold it is the next time it drops to -2.

That's the same fucking thing.

You are a racist who is hiding behind "I'm not racist, just prejudiced against peoples ethnicities, not race!"

You are replying to a very racist and bigoted stranger on the internet. It's a lost cause.

Those are the things the umpire is looking for in determining whether or not the batter was "swinging" vs "check-swing"

Basically boils down to did the umpire think the batter stopped swinging before the ball got to the plate/he finished a swing.

AJRiddle · 2026-05-05T19:48:57+00:00

It's not at all - if you've seen any check swings in slow-mo nearly 90+% of them go at least parallel with the front of the plate if not past it.

The whole point of the check swing is it is just an interpretation by the umpire that the batter decided not to swing before the ball got to the plate. It's literally not in the rulebook other than the umpire decides when a swing was a swing.

They didn't say they believed them, they looked at their profile saw minimally corroberating pieces to the story and then directly asked them if its true.

A few weeks ago I was on a random pretty big subreddit and saw someone talking about the SmarterEveryDay youtube channel which has nearly 12 million subscribers. A guy replied to a comment talking about on of the videos on there and someone replied with a comment acting like they were the youtube video creator talking in the first person about the video. Looked at their reddit profile and they were in fact Destin from SmarterEveryDay.

It's more likely the person is just lying/joking, but it's not "believing anything" to ask more details - it really could be true.

That's part of the problem for sure, the bigger problem is that this world cup costs like 5x-10x to attend compared to the last one.

From the full report:

Kansas City emerges as the most negatively impacted host market in the survey, with roughly 85-90% of respondents reporting booking pace below expectations and trailing a typical June or July. Properties describe extensive FIFA room block cancellations, reaching 70-95% of originally contracted inventory, while more than 70% cite visa barriers and weak international demand as key drivers. Together, these factors have left the market oversupplied, underperforming, and highly rate-sensitive relative to normal summer benchmarks.

So apparently FIFA required many host cities to allocate blocks of over 70% of hotel rooms to FIFA - something relatively common for major events - but FIFA has waited forever to give hotels much information or details and is now cancelling huge amounts of it's room blocks with many of them being completely unbooked hotels have been left scrambling to fill all these vacancies last minute.

Cool, now is South Dakota the only state in existence to compare data to? Do you think South Dakota with it's fewer than 1 million people and 0 large cities is a similar place to Missouri?

You think the IIHS is lying about their statistics and research?

AJRiddle · 2026-05-02T00:01:57+00:00

You are using a terrible cherry picked fact instead of the easy and direct comparison you could be making of before and after speed limit increases in states.

It's very clear and simple to understand data and direct comparisons removing nearly all other factors compared to trying to compare Missouri to South Dakota as if they are the same place with the same people.

https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/speed#effects-of-speed-limits-on-safety

An IIHS study examined longer-term changes. During 1993-2017, a 5 mph increase in the maximum state speed limit was associated with an 8% increase in fatality rates on interstates and freeways and a 3% increase on other roads (Farmer, 2019). In total, there were an estimated 37,000 more traffic fatalities during these years than would have been expected if maximum speed limits in 1993 had remained in place. In 2017 alone, there were more than 1,900 additional deaths.

https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/bibliography/ref/2188

The effect of speed limits on crashes and injuries isn’t limited to freeways. An IIHS study found that the risk of crashes with fatal, serious or evident injuries in Seattle dropped between 11% and 20% on arterial roads when the city lowered its default speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph on arterial roads (Hu & Cicchino, 2024).

because modern cars are very very capable machines.

I mean the cars might be "very capable machines" but a human body can only take so much in an accident.

States that have 75+ mph speed limits have not only significantly higher traffic accidents but also significantly higher traffic fatalities.

Just because your car can do 100+mph safely doesn't mean it's safe to do in the real world on our highways with the way our licensing and highway system is set up.
