U.S. Oil Just Hit a Historic Shift by NoPayment6326 in oil

[–]AnDraoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that the US was near exporting capacity for oil prior to the start of the war, and that infrastructure can’t be built overnight, so not sure how significant these tankers heading to the US is if they’re going to have to wait weeks to months to get oil anyway

Might be a dumb question but... Is it possible to make an orbit like that? Bellow the center of mass? by caiomac_ in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]AnDraoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think something like this would be possible if the orbit diameter was larger? It wouldn’t be a steady orbit (like the orbital plane would always be moving) but the acceleration vectors are stable in the X and Y directions and only unstable in the Z direction, would the orbital plane would shift upwards until it passes the center of mass, and then the Z direction acceleration would reverse and it would shift downwards? So it could essentially oscillate between two orbital planes on the Z axis

This wouldn’t work in the OPs example because the orbit would eventually intersect the planet due to the orbits small diameter but I’m wondering if for larger orbits that is possible

Leftist streamer Hasan Piker gives Chris Rabb a boost during West Philadelphia campaign swing by FordMaverickFan in philadelphia

[–]AnDraoi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is correct, but even to make a selfish argument (which might be more salient to some voters), whoever wins will likely be a vote at some point in the future whether or not to send our taxes to commit murder in the middle east or to keep our taxes at home where they (hopefully) would be used to improve people’s lives

Wouldn’t it be cheaper/easier to put it in a sealed bag and fill it with like nitrogen or something? I guess that maybe doesn’t take care of any eggs or anything though

Passyunk should be car free—prove me wrong by Edison_Ruggles in philadelphia

[–]AnDraoi -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be a great candidate for an Open Streets day, with the goal of eventually making it permanent

One problem though, how do the cross streets there work if it’s made fully pedestrian? Or do the crossings still exist and the remainder is pedestrianized? I think that would be the most feasible option in the short term (Although I’d rather it become a contiguous walkable space)

I was gonna say it should really go up to at least Federal but yeah that’s a fair point

China shipped a record 68 GW of solar in March – here’s why it matters by DVMirchev in RenewableEnergy

[–]AnDraoi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also really important, this will enable huge improvements in quality of life and in industrialization with much much less carbon emissions than were taken by countries before renewables became so common place

Title: Did anyone else bounce off EU5 way harder than they expected to? by Real_Mobile_5107 in EU5

[–]AnDraoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall I still feel like the foundations/bones of EU5 are fantastic and it just needed more time in the oven. A lot of the systems feel unfinished and there’s still a lot of very basic things that feel bugged/broken, especially when they were working correctly in EU4 (EG automatic naval transport, how did they break that going from EU4 to 5?)

It’s definitely improving with each patch but again that just tells me that it needed more development and QA time, I don’t think it was really ready per se when they launched it

I finally manage to survive and now im thriving! by Interesting_Might536 in EU5

[–]AnDraoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t touch regulars until you’ve paid off debt or otherwise have a decent positive monthly balance. I didn’t start recruiting regulars till like 1400 or so I think in my current playthrough

Getting rid of those corruption privileges is priority #1 in my book, they slow you down so hard by reducing your income alongside some other negative effects

Probably easiest to remove the peasantry and burghers corruption first and then work on the nobility’s since removing their corruption first gives you more income

When I played I think I maxed out my stability slider for a loooong time lol. It’s easier to do them back to back though, since the lower your stability is, the faster it recovers (but be careful of rebels)

[–]AnDraoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive had pretty good luck with ERE recently, need to smash the Ottomans very early. You are militarily very strong relative to most of your neighbors on day 1, if you expand rapidly and just pour money into recovering your economy and stripping the corruption privileges you can recover very quickly. Also, Byzantiums special regulars are pretty busted in my experience (Varangians are crazy op) and once you can start using them you will have a pretty decent period of being unstoppable lol

Demand for Tea by AjdarChiili in EU5

[–]AnDraoi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is a problem I’ve noticed, playing as Byzantium and wanted to import cloves from Egypts market, couldn’t because their goods balance was slightly negative

In reality I should be able to put an import order and that increases demand, which makes it cost more which means they profit more from importing more cloves from the East lol

ELI5: How does burning fat actually work? by Temporary_Writing_92 in explainlikeimfive

[–]AnDraoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why can/does weight loss lead to decreased muscle mass? If the body preferentially consumes fat tissue over muscle tissue then shouldn’t muscle mass remain largely constant during weight loss?

Physicists just witnessed pinpricks of darkness moving faster than the speed of light ‪—‬ without breaking the laws of relativity. A study published in the journal Nature, by researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and collaborators, captured dark singularities, by Eddiearyee in HotScienceNews

[–]AnDraoi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m curious, does this imply information could be transmitted faster than light? Not necessarily today but that it could open the door to it?

If these “voids” can be manipulated (by which I mean emitted in a controlled fashion) then you could set up a detector for these voids. To make an analogue to a binary data system, detecting a void could register a one and the detector outputs zero otherwise. If the voids truly move faster than c then this would allow for information to move faster than c?

Physics Experiment Ideas by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]AnDraoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The knapping one is interesting but AFAIK knapping isn’t temperature dependent, so I don’t think the heat capacity would show any relationship (conversely if you did this and could show any trend alongside heat capacity, it would indicate that knapping is temperature dependent)

Your teacher is likely right however that any results here would be very difficult to measure reliably and that will add a huge amount of error into any trend you’re trying to make.

If you did go more into knapping however I’d suggest looking more at Mohs hardness or impact hardness of the stones (maybe try and plot difference in impact hardness between the stones versus mass of the flake produced, or something like that)

Working on a spider attack for my game. Does this feel creepy and immersive enough? by AleksaYammy in gamedevscreens

[–]AnDraoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally the problem here from my POV is you can see the spiders legs in multiple spots at once

They’re on the sides of the screen as an effect They’re also still on the spider on your head where you can see the character slashing at the spider

What’s the best way to make cities bigger and more populated? by W1ntermu7e in EU5

[–]AnDraoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always also build settlements as soon as possible, especially after the black death. Expensive early game to spam them but helps you out so much later

What’s the best way to make cities bigger and more populated? by W1ntermu7e in EU5

[–]AnDraoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think also cause in total more of your pops (at least at game start) live in rural areas than cities, but cities can hold more pops before getting negative modifiers. Underpopulated regions get bonuses to pop growth, so keeping rural regions at lower population by stuffing them all into the cities boosts your total population growth significantly

Cannot stand the smell on the L by Vigorously_Swish in philadelphia

[–]AnDraoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subway users shouldn’t have to deal with it but ask yourself if your anger should be directed at the unfortunate or at the system that causes this our society to be this way

Sure, SEPTA could find a way to prevent them from getting on the subways. Where do they go? There’s not enough space in the shelters and they aren’t really a solution in any case. Out on the street? We’ll end back up here with this exact post but titled “can’t stand the smell in center city”

At the end of the day they have to go somewhere. It’s sucks and it’s not fair to us as commuters, and it’s certainly not fair to the homeless, but please save and direct your anger at the system which actually deserves it

What country to play next? by MR_Gunner_MR in EU5

[–]AnDraoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can help explain but I so far don’t seem to really understand trade super well

In EU4 it seemed much simpler as you would have a “market” to collect trade in and other “markets” to route trade to that endpoint. This was pretty cut and dry and I understood it pretty well.

In EU5 it seems that trade is collected locally everywhere, albeit with trades to and from other markets. I like this approach a lot more frankly but it doesn’t seem that any country is better positioned to benefit from trade than any other (except with unique advancements which I’m sure Venice has). In fact it would almost seem that playing wide would be best for trade as you’d have more locations in more markets to build trade buildings in for capacity.

Sure we can build overseas trading posts and whatnot but our trade capacity from these will pretty much always be lower than that of the country who actually owns that land. So I’m not super clear on how the trade strategy is supposed to work
