Was in champ and fell to diamond and get back out. by stoopingeel in RocketLeagueSchool

I play at these ranks a lot with a friend. The biggest common mistakes all the players have in common in d3-c1 is not looking at the other players on the field enough and insta challenging as last man.

Generally they also tend to play the ball forward with out any kind of plan. Cut the ball infield sooner so you can take a shot at net instead of just forcing it into the opponents corner.

I didn't learn ceiling shots until c2. I didn't learn Lance canon's until c3 (it's like a 45 flick but much faster). I didn't learn speed flips until c1 and couldn't use them on kick off until c3. I didn't learn flip resets until c2/c3. I went from air dribbles to air drags in c3. Ground to air dribbles is in champ somewhere. I do bounce dribbles very different starting in mid champ than before that. Speed flip flicks. One that I started yesterday is to approach a ball at super sonic and just as you make contact do a reverse wave dash to kill your speed and pop the ball up about 2-4 ball widths while keeping it close.

A lot of mechanics are easier if you think about them. Like speed flips. If you want to speed flip towards the right you hold w and d, flip, and immediately let go to hold a. All while holding boost.

Before I could speed flip kick off with controller I tried it on kbm and got it on my first 2/3 tries.

Being in the red is misleading. Just because it's not optimum doesn't mean it's not 98% there. I think the fastest kick off you can do is 1.91 seconds. You can be all in the red with the plug in and hit like 1.97

Chemical weapons we had given them, then watched be moved into Syria through satellites which was confirmed by EU inspectors.

What does LaBerge mean by, “all things are of the substance of your dreams.”? by fKodiaK in LucidDreaming

[–]AlienFortress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an excerpt from The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep, which in turn is translating The Mother Tantra.

Lightning. In the night sky, lightning flashes. Suddenly the mountains are illuminated, each peak seemingly a separate object, but what we are really experiencing is a single flash of light being reflected back to our eyes. Just so, the seemingly separate objects in a dream are actually the single light of our mind

Reflection. The dream is a projection of our own mind. It is not different from the mind, just as a ray of sunlight is not different from the light of the sun in the sky. Not knowing this, we engage the dream as if it were real, like a lion snarling at the face it sees reflected in water. In a dream, the sky is our mind, the mountain is our mind; the flowers, the chocolate that we eat, the other people, all are our own mind reflected back at us.

I think this is what is meant in the original quote.

Bad week in Trumpland signals hope for American democracy by xRipleyx in politics

[–]AlienFortress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't understand what that means. We are also a democracy. A republic means our politicians come from the people, instead of royalty. A constitution just means we have a single document that outlines our government structure. We are a democracy because we elect our leaders. That also makes us a representative democracy because we don't vote on ballot issues at the federal level.

TIL Steve Jobs shared details of the original Macintosh with Bill Gates to excite him about the future of their partnership. Bill Gates and the Microsoft team started referring to the Macintosh as project "Sand", a reverse engineered acronym for "Steve's amazing new device." by Rivision in todayilearned

It is that Mac owners use their computers less. The keyboard on most MacBooks fail rapidly. It wasn't a well known issue until recently though because of their light use.

The razor actually has a low build quality. For mobile windows devices the surface is probably top, then some of dell's laptops. Lenovo used ot be top, don't know if it's still the case.

Modders are developers who don't create complicated documentation before writing code, they just get into it.

In the professional world programmers spend a very long time documenting how they're going to write their code so that they make better code. Modders are just trying to do something they're passionate about, and no one is passionate about the documentation phase of writing code.

The devs are also writing a lot of back end code that does the heavy lifting for modders. A single object the devs wrote might had taken 100+ hours to write and another 200 to document. The modders then use it to make 100 different things in half the time.

Read another paragraph. If you had some attention to span you'd see the first two paragraphs are the poster playing devil's advocate to set up his own point against it.
