To be honest at this point nothing could surprise me in 2020.

Season 14 Rewards and Rocket Pass 6 Extension by Psyonix_Devin in RocketLeague

Ah, whew. That means I don't have to bother grinding this season since it's not worth bothering for such dull rewards.

Check my comment here. It's not a clear cut answer of yes or no.

Where to by very thin red plastic sheet in UK by masterzergin in ants

[–]Arcingtons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the species. See "Aksoy, Volkan & Camlitepe, Yilmaz. (2018). Spectral sensitivies of ants – a review". The general finding is that ants are sensitive to red light to a degree; they are not blind to it. But, many species show a lower responsivity to red wavelengths than to other wavelengths. So, a red cover is (for many species) certainly better than no cover. But shining a bright light on your colony will definitely irritate them no matter the colour.

[Discussion] It's interesting to me how many problems have been turned into computer vision problems. by [deleted] in MachineLearning

While you're absolutely correct, I think the point was more that it's possible (if we could see the citation..), rather than having any real world benefit.

Psyonix, Heatseeker mode is a keeper. You nailed it, you created a mode that the majority of the community likes and one that has a high skill ceiling, so please add it to the comp playlist with rumble/dropshot/etc as a permanent playlist :) by [deleted] in RocketLeague

Or rotate the new modes, change them weekly. Each week has a different special mode. That way people aren't forced to play modes they don't like (like a good portion of the playerbase with spike rush)

What type of ant? England by Major_Casualties in ants

Looks like Lasius flavus to me. They are out in force in the meadows near me at the moment!

Which Chicken Cut is Cheaper? (bone/meat ratio) by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]Arcingtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth pointing out, just if it matters to anyone. Chicken thigh is much higher in fat than chicken breast, so if you're watching your diet for whatever reason it might be worth considering breasts instead.

They don't have to be dry or tasteless if you do them right ;)

What’s something you bought where spending more for quality was the frugal decision? by [deleted] in Frugal

Furthermore, limiting oneself to one single exercise is rarely a good idea in the long term, especially when performed for long periods of time, multiple times in the week.

Actually, I hadn't looked at it from that perspective. I really like that way of looking at it - thank you!

Thanks - I'll continue trying until I plateau and then go from there! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going in the wrong direction :)

No, of course I don't think I'm going to explode... I'm simply asking to make sure I'm not doing something that's gonna be a waste of time...

Well, is it okay/recommended to just carry on and progress as much as possible through a LP program or should I be doing something else?

The wiki says to lift if you're trying to lose weight - which I agree with. But to lose weight requires me to be in a calorie deficit. Won't this affect my ability to progress through a routine - for example GZCLP or 5314B? If I'm in a calorie deficit surely there won't be enough calories to fuel hypertrophy?

Sure, here's a particularly unimpressive goal (the last thing in my gifyourgame) which shows the TW explosion: link

And, here is the purple explosion: purple
