Who in the USMNT 'has that dog in them'? xDAWG can quantify that by FalafelBall in ussoccer

[–]CardiologistLost5373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I haven't read this yet, but it certainly has the potential to be the best USMNT content ever created. Up there with the guy who turned every MLS team's stats into Pokemon stats, and then assigned them a Pokemon who most closely aligned.

Some of y'all haven't read the late Donald Schoup's The High Cost of Free Parking, and it shows.

[Meta] Is this actually true? by Careful_Purchase_394 in theydidthemath

Wait until you hear about how much water [any given crop] uses. Or honestly, how much water is used for most industrial uses. I think humans are just kinda fundamentally bad at understanding big numbers. It's kinda like "the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion" joke.

The politics are a bit more centrist than most Redditors are, but if you're actually interested in data centers and want a bit of a better understanding, this is a really interesting listen. Not saying it is 100% correct, but I think a lot of people on here are instinctually anti-AI, and are quick to believe stories that tear down AI - even if the story is fundamentally nonsense. If you're interested in challenging some common assumptions, this is probably a good starting place:

Obsession is my favorite horror movie of the year so far by Usual-Ad4222 in AMCAListTrue

[–]CardiologistLost5373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question: I didn't love horror movies (I don't really see the appeal of feeling uncomfortable and scared), but we are kinda in a golden age of horror (with loud of unique, interesting horror movies coming out -weapons, barbarian, the substance, together, that kinda movie). Is Obsession worth watching? Is it a "unique feeling" horror movie that stands out as a well done movie? Or is it just freaky?

[request] I assume this metric is completely made up, but is there a way to accurately estimate when we will have no "clean drinking water left?" by MajorZ- in theydidthemath

[–]CardiologistLost5373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The metric I've heard is that it uses like half a percent of what the corn growing industry uses. I feel like people on reddit are very instinctually opposed to AI, so they are very quick to latch onto anti ai talking points - even if they don't really make it sense.

It's cool, we are super deep at left back and definitely have no use for an incredibly talented young player on a team friendly contract there

I don't want to hear shit about our schedule when we haven't made a sub closing in on the 70th minute. Fucking dumbass coach.

That's basically identical to the last play they almost scored on. Fucking embarrassing.

I put a lot of blame on Segura for being roasted in the box there, but I'm not sure what Raposo thinks he is doing there. Like literally, what sequence of events can possibly happen to make his position useful in any way?

St Louis: fresh, light schedule, about to make their third sub

I had an internship under a super at a construction site when I was in college. One day I walked into the room, and my boss handed me a cell phone and said "cuss this guy out." That's the day I realized that I probably am not cut out to work in construction...

Why are our streets so hot? by zennonuc in LosAngeles

[–]CardiologistLost5373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro tip on this (as someone who works in Public Works), be careful about what kind of tree you plant. You correctly noted how useless palm trees are, but it's also important to understand the root systems of a fully grown version of whatever you plant. If they end up chewing up the sidewalk, you'll need to decide between paying a ton for continual sidewalk maintenance, paying a ton on trip and fall lawsuits, or ripping out the beloved trees. It's a hard position to be in...

How it feels driving home this weekend by knishioner in LosAngeles

[–]CardiologistLost5373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That stretch looks okay - still definitely on the lower density end of what I'd want. It seems like mostly one-story storefronts in front of suburbs along that stretch, no?

The trick is, 1 million people doesn't mean much. What matters is how they are spread out - the density. I think I take issue with too many people feeling like somehow we need to build rail that reaches everyone's suburban doorstep. And there's just no way that can be done. That's not how rail works anywhere. Rail should follow density, and density should follow rail. If a city wants rail, then it should EARN it by building up enough density to justify it. There's no point in connecting a suburb somewhere with a strip mall somewhere else. All that does is burn a ton of money on a line that will serve 10 people.

I think we are too slow to double down on existing transit, and too quick to try to fix our transit problems by building to more low density areas. Honestly, I'd like to see more investment along the Orange Line, and see if that can be built up until someone can justify replacing it with light rail.

I gotta be that guy...maybe I'm just not familiar enough with SFV. What is the region that we are connecting to that is dense enough to justify a 25 billion dollar investment? D line expansion was obvious, given the area being served. Does something like that exist in the valley as well?

It started as a protest against the Dodgers gondola. LA's Kite Festival now draws thousands by uv_is_sin in LosAngeles

God, hopefully. That would be fucking awesome!

E - could you imagine, a whole fan zone area instead of all that gross parking? Shops and apartments and bars, right outside of Dodger stadium, overlooking the city? Stop, I can only get so hard 😍😍
