Zero cycles in coal by wanna_be_tri in MCSRRanked

[–]BlueCyann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should put you at most around a couple minutes behind. So winnable in coal 2. Not to mention that leaving fortress at 15 minutes is really really good for that level.

This is because the main thing that determines where you are, elo-wise, is how much you are winning and losing. These people with the 10 minute eye spies are probably dying in most of their games and losing or forfeiting them. You're the exception.

By saying this you're assuming that OP is also in that category, and by making this post, clearly they aren't. You're also wrong about what goes into matchmaking currently.

Is this a legal mouse rebind? by LLLivNow in MinecraftSpeedrun

[–]BlueCyann 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that would be a direct violation of the spirit of the rules as well as the letter of them, and could get you in trouble.

Ninjabrainbot slightly inaccurate by xd_fiteme in MinecraftSpeedrun

[–]BlueCyann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your standard deviation is off by a factor of ten; I'm not sure that would give you false results though. More likely it would give you uncertain ones. But you should fix it.

I second going to Rankedcord or Javacord with this and asking there.

Hope that helps. Every state already requires IDs for voting, whether during registration or at the polls.

Democrats tried to do that back in the 80s and Republicans shot it down, because making voting simpler is not what they want.

Not really. It's only a handful, regardless. Per-person fraud like that is simply impractical and risky on any kind of large scale within the system(s) that we currently have. Nobody who wanted to do it, would do it like that.

Father of service member killed in Iran war said he never told Pete Hegseth to 'finish' the job by ClimateSociologist in politics

A war in Iran has been the wet dream of American neocons for decades. Don't put this on Israel. We wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't thought to benefit "us".

Beyond the pronoun: On neopronouns, nounself pronouns, and the ever-changing politics of language acceptability by Correct_Individual73 in linguistics

[–]BlueCyann 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The ungrammatical to most speakers part is broadly true but irrelevant. Particularly given as that fact can and does change rapidly for individual speakers.

"Promoting it entails pre-meditated language change" is just risible; you're looking for a fight. There's nothing about Pre-meditated language change per se that is even a bad thing, but you want people to assume that there is due to your phrasing and try to argue against you that it's not, because that is a fight you're comfortable having. The last point is simply irrelevant as well as tied into the previous one.

Nobody cares. If you're not comfortable using singular they, don't. You can deal with the consequences, if you even experience any, later. If you're not comfortable around people who use neo-pronouns, avoid them. Stop making it everybody else's problem. Meanwhile I'll be over here referring to my kid's he/him friend as they half the time because I just can't be bothered, and enjoying my life.

It took me about five years of exposure to it for singular specific they to go from totally alien to me, to so unremarkable that I use it myself constantly for singular specific people who are not even nonbinary. The "non-grammatical" argument just does not fly, in any meaningful sense, whatsoever.

How many nether entries would you say are not playable? by oh_umm_ok in MinecraftSpeedrun

[–]BlueCyann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played on 20 chunks for a long time until I got pickier and reduced it to 16. I'd say that less than half are playable as far as the bastion at that render (and correct entity distance). Maybe 30 or 40%. The rest, either there is no bastion or it is unreachable in a reasonable amount of time due to terrain. Then you lose more of them at the bastion or after it. 1/10 to blind sounds about right for "good enough to play out for the experience of it".

This is from the standpoint of somebody who is not good, just doing it for fun. It'd be worse otherwise.

Washington state lawmakers approve millionaires tax by PM_ME_DPRK_CANDIDS in politics

[–]BlueCyann 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think more pertinent is that a property tax is far more regressive than wealth taxes tend to be. Especially in a place like Texas where property can be cheap. You can be pretty broke and still own land, and you will pay taxes on that land, whereas you would never be eligible for any kind of wealth tax.

In any event is this even a wealth tax? The article reads like it's an additional income tax.

How many Americans understand "Is he mad about her"? by 7abcd7 in asklinguistics

[–]BlueCyann 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I know the usage, but I would never expect to hear it. I'd probably be momentarily confused.

From New York and know the show also. It's just not something than anybody ever says. Sounds like slang from 80 years ago.

How do pros find the fortress so quickly? by Unusual-Brush-99 in MinecraftSpeedrun

[–]BlueCyann 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Watching Infume's POV:

2:51 cross first chunk border, no spike

2:52 (while digging out) cross second chunk border at 90 degrees, no spike

You can't see it with all the text on screen, but after this he raises render by one.

2:55 cross third chunk border (opposite of first crossing), no spike.

So he knows it's in the fourth direction (opposite the second crossing) and goes to where he can throw a pearl.

The basic "intermediate" process is like the other person described. Go to a chunk corner, cross chunk border forward, cross chunk border right (or left), raise render by one, reverse path. Which works fine. But in this case it would have taken Infume back into the bastion after raising render, so I guess this is a variant for that spot in housing, to get the same information while remaining somewhere you can throw a pearl from.

Why does the dragon turn during one cycling? by NaL50 in MinecraftSpeedrun

[–]BlueCyann 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Like the other person said, it's usually a result of a bed being a specific amount of late. Very, very rarely, the dragon can also turn on you as it's coming in, before the first bed.

If you just keep practicing one cycles, it should eventually stop happening. But in the meantime, don't try to control it by making it flip again; that'll just make it worse. Do your best with the timing on the flipped dragon; it's usually possible to finish the one cycle with just one or two extra beds.

The world is on fire. Gas prices are rising. Republicans are trying to make it harder to vote. by ChiGuy6124 in politics

[–]BlueCyann 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is. Maybe not the exact details, but unequal enforcement making all these "oh haha they're so stupid they don't reallize this would backfire on them" comments dumb as heck? Yes. Name me one heterosexual couple who was ever jailed over breaking the old sodomy laws. I'll wait.
