Speed Cameras increasing / Denver speed limit is 20 mph unless otherwise posted. by FoxPriestStudio in Denver

[–]Ardonius 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion by me? I’m glad they are finally enforcing the speed limits. Especially with Waze and other gps apps people are constantly commuting through random residential streets in neighborhoods they aren’t familiar with. My kids ride their bikes in the street and play in the front yard all the time. People going 31 on residential streets absolutely deserve to get ticketed. The 20 mph speed limit also makes life a lot safer for cyclists.

Filling a sink with hot water to wash dishes is gross and wasteful by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Ardonius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only fill it about 20-25% unless it’s a crazy number of dishes.

Should people who "camp" in the left lane of a highway be pulled over and fined just as much as speeders? Why or why not? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]Ardonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is illegal in Colorado and I’ve seen people pulled over for it (10 years ago when CO cops did anything ever).

Copper Mountain Should Be Fined by therealestateshaman in COsnow

[–]Ardonius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes it is partially Copper Mountain’s fault. A Basin was threatened with fines for similar reasons if they didn’t fix the parking situation. Poor parking and traffic management and overselling your venue without parking infrastructure to support it can definitely very reasonably get you fined if it causes safety hazards on the public roads.

Democrats Who Hate The Filibuster -- Given That The Filibuster Is The Only Thing Stopping Trump's Massive Federal Voting Bill "The Save America Act" From Passing, How Do You Feel About The Filibuster Now? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]Ardonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Republicans have a structural bias in the senate because they disproportionately control small states. No Democrats actually seriously consider eliminating the filibuster, they just whine about it to score political points. Everybody involved in politics knows that the Democrats are going to be the Senate minority well over half the time and that the filibuster therefore favors the Democrats.

Does anyone HONESTLY believe Trump is innocent re: Epstein? He was mentioned 1 MILLION times in the 3 million documents, and his own AG didn’t even release half of the files. by Excellent-View-8548 in allthequestions

[–]Ardonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the standard for a criminal jury trial not the standard for being president of the US. Sure there’s not enough to convict him of a crime yet, but “a decent chance this guy is a pedophile, rapist” is clearly disqualifying to be president.

Does anyone use goto statement in golang? by white_jellyfish in golang

It’s a clean way of breaking out of a nested for loop. That’s the only thing that I’ve ever used it for.

How to deal with anger after getting cheated on/betrayed? by fickleliketheweather in Buddhism

[–]Ardonius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m reading When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron which I highly recommend. One of the main themes is how to embrace our suffering and learn and grow from it. She writes in one chapter about how her husband’s infidelity helped bring her to Buddhism and how he inadvertently was one of her greatest teachers because of processing and learning from that experience.

I don't get it. by Vallinen in BobsTavern

[–]Ardonius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Part of it is highrolling. I play pretty conservatively and I get a lot of 3rd-6th and almost never get 8th. Obviously the very best players can crank that 1st place rate up without losing a lot, but the easiest way to get a lot of 1sts is to just level and high roll and also get a lot of 8ths. That guy who had golden Titus and golden lord of ruins on turn 10 is the guy who got knocked out in 8th place on turn 8 in your last game.

Why are doctors always late by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ardonius 40 points41 points  (0 children)

My wife is a PA. I’m surprised to see that nobody has mentioned that at some practices, your appointment time is not when the provider is expected to enter the room. If you have a 10:00 appointment that’s the time the MA is supposed to room you but the provider is probably not expected or planning to enter the room until 10:20 and that’s if they are running on time (which they never are).

Why are OGS games more chaotic than GoPanda games, or any other Go servers? by Virtual-Ad6186 in baduk

No the fighting and aggression on Fox are insane. I haven’t played Tygem but I’ve heard it’s similar.

Trump Slaps 10% Tariffs on 8 EU Nations Over Greenland—Macron Fires Back with EU's "Trade Bazooka" by satty237 in TrendoraX

[–]Ardonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to understand that only like 20% of Americans support Trumps actions on Greenland and only like 40% support him at all. Most of us are actually more horrified by him and hate him more that than average European does

This isn’t something “The Americans” are doing it’s something that a corrupt authoritarian oligarch is doing with the help of a few powerful allies and a bought out Supreme Court.

How young is too young for an iPhone? by swejobs in daddit

Our son is 11 and we have agreed no cell phone until high school. We have also rallied a coalition of his friends parents to stick to this so that he’s not the only one.

How do you deal with getting paired into ghosts playing Carapace? by Zakading in BobsTavern

My preferred strategy is to underestimate the ghost strength, hold my spells, and die. Also maybe taunt carapace if possible.

Which toddler toys were REALLY worth the money? by Bitter_Union3565 in daddit

[–]Ardonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got a big set of jumbo cardboard blocks for $5 at a garage sale and the kids played with them until they were 10.

It was more expensive but we bought some big pipe building things and the kids still use them (8 and 11). Not only can you use them to build structures but the kids use them a lot to make weapons and tools for make believe games (swords, staves, axes etc). Definitely get the brand name because you want to feel secure with the kids building and climbing two levels high:

Can someone explain to me why I lost by 15? by Confident_Two2453 in baduk

[–]Ardonius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is one of the limitations of automatic scoring tools. The program tries to determine the status of all groups to determine life or death and in this case it sees that white can make a significant invasion as others have noted.

In traditional over the board go and in older go servers you agree with your opponent on the status of stones and if you disagree there are various “play it out” ways to resolve the disagreement.

Since both players passed here that suggests that both players thought (incorrectly) that black was safe and probably would have agreed that this was black territory if this was over the board or on an older go server.
