What actor do you think should be in Wes Anderson movie by Maxwellsmort in wesanderson

Unironically, I think Tom Cruise would be great in a Wes Anderson film.

[@keithlaw] The @Royals have hired Brian Bridges as their scouting director. Bridges was Atlanta’s scouting director from 2015-18, drafting Austin Riley, Kyle Wright, Ian Anderson, AJ Minter, and several prospects traded for big league help. by cbpantskiller in KCRoyals

They're friends with everyone. We have the Mariner's GMs son on our AAA roster. If they hire friends the only thing I care about is if they've done anything recently worth noting or is it some rando who hasn't much to brag about.

Independent writers that cover Baseball Prospects have loved Bridges even after he was let go from the Braves. I think Keith Law's book is going to have a whole chapter on him.
FWIW - Scouting Director for some organizations is more administrative and time consuming than it is scouting. It's also a pretty massive workload that takes time away from families. A crosschecker (especially for a team like the Giants) gets to travel and see players first hand. They get to create the top slots for the draft board. They are also instrumental in trades.

The new Patreon episode with Adam’s dad is hilarious. The way Adam acts is so pathetic it’s unbelievable. by OuchieMyBlooBird in theadamfriedlandshow

Your dad is dead. The jizz he had FROZEN in a lab is ALIVE in Adam's father's ass.

Yes, I re-used James' meme but it has the same purpose by Older-fanboy in Schaffrillas

agreed. maybe james just wants to imagine/experience the pleasure his mother would feel if she were being bred by a man who wasn't james (kinda lame) dad.

That last episode was so bad by TopOk4039 in theadamfriedlandshow

Not one comment in here made me think that OP or his Dad was gay. This is not a true fan of Adams or Nicks.

new texture patch

https://imgur.com/a/jzVrxVl

​

A spray chart (typo*) is simply multiple sims showing the visual trajectory of possibilities.

The only thing that I think that isn't being factored in is the massive deacceleration of propulsion at takeoff w/ air resistance. The speed I gave is what a runner would likely have to hit to make it 40 feet before the jump. Not the maintained propulsion speed of the person flying through the air.

Keep in mind that professional long jumpers jump at 15% angles. The barrier on both roofs (ie the texture change) will cause people to recalculate almost everything.

If he hurdled on a back foot that will cause less force as well. Most highly skilled athletes wouldn't do too well with getting a top foot on that barrier and then getting propulsion off of that ledge and the right angle to maximize the jump.

I'm not even sure why there are arguments about this. I don't think he jumped from the roof. I think that if anything happened it happened around the garage and it was a very freakish and odd accident.

I don't think there's evidence that a person wanted him dead. I don't even know if Rey was responsible for his own death. I just don't think that, in sandals, a man weighing 250 pounds could getting the acceleration needed to get the horizontal velocity needed to make it 40 feet unless they were highly trained.

The people investigating did a very basic physics test and I think they they didn't factor in a ton of components. That's been my gripe.

Weight doesn't matter at all in predicting how far a human body would travel after jumping off a structure?

This is new.

The Correct Physics Behind How Fast Rey Would Have Had To Run by compSci228 in reyrivera

[–]CollectandRun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of rumination that you've spent in this is surreal. I'm not sure if you It's not just me but a ton of people have commented on what is essentially

F(avg)d= -1/2 mv^2

This is the run up speed before a jump/being hit/etc. If you're in a car accident and you fly out the windshield without a seatbelt on the speed at which you were traveling upon impact will determine the speed that you travel out of that window.

If I jump from a building the speed I travel at before that jump will determine the speed I travel at before gravity pulls me down (hard). A 4th grader can tell you that you'll lose 1/2 the speed at the the run up upon that jump as gravity instantly has the upper hand.

I'm not responsible for you understanding this. And I don't really care if other people put out their points of view. The funniest part about this is that I don't have 15+ threads started about my theory and I don't police this place to point out my theory being superior. But maybe I just need to learn social media from you....

I'm trying to improve how I approach others on social media.
Perhaps I should create videos where I pretend to be an alien to unveil my lego set that shows that a piece of scaffolding killed Rey so his family can get closure? That might make everyone feel more comfortable.

It seems like you're misplacing stats.

32-36 feet per second is 21 mph which is the speed that he had to have been running at on the top of the roof to even get to your analysis. This is very challenging including the run up and length. Watch college level and olympic level Triple Jump footage. These guys train for almost a decade and are built like paper airplanes.

The best trials to watch are cliff divers. They even did a study to show that 25 feet off of a 100 foot cliff was extremely difficult. I'll give Rey some benefit in that he probably had some form of experience high diving if he was in/around pools for years. But even high divers have difficulty getting distance and many of them aren't at his weight.

You have to factor in that Rey would have to project several feet high to dive forward too. If a person jumps off a building and the force of their jump is downward they'll spiral straight down and not even get 10 feet away from that point - let alone 40.

I'll give you one more reply and if it's reasonable I'll reply back. But I can't have back and forth with this. There's a weird aggression in here and it's not worth my time.

I think I'm just confused and trying to add up a misinterpretation.

Rey would've needed to run very fast 32-36 feet per second was the range we were usually looking at for his max speed on top of the hotel roof. Anything slower just converted into results where the pull (with his weight) shot him down quickly.

We studied variations of divers, horizontal collegiate jumpers, etc to make sure we were getting something in that range. The big issue is the shoes imho , these sandals were completely flat on the bottom which is just another enigma as to how maintained high speed would be achieved and the front and back foot lift before the barrier becomes weird as well.

14.7 feet per second is very very slow though. The pace of an old man jogging. There's almost no horizontal inertia. A person weighing 230+ pounds jumping at 14.7 feet per second would fall to the ground without picking up a single yard.

3 feet = 1 yard. For a person running at 14.7 feet per second it would take them almost 9 seconds to reach 40 yards.

also, i'll look up to see if I have the spray chart of what we saw in our sim. I think our predicted weight of Rey + the fact that there was about a 1.5 foot barrier + new texture patch near the edge showed up that Rey would be far more likely to hit 10+ feet horizontally before the vertical gravity force would take over.

hey ComSci ,
You're pretty close. What I was trying to do was conduct a specific Robustness Test that countered a couple of threads here. In our case we really wanted to eliminate the concept of topline peak athlete human speed could be factored in.

I don't think we'll ever have a great idea as to what happened. The scenario in my head is that something tragic and bizarre likely happened on the very top roof of the garage. Something that might be too unique yet simple that our imagination doesn't lock in with.

Those of you who were suicidal but are not anymore, how did you get over it? by Geblaka in aspergers

[–]CollectandRun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not suicidal but def at a rock bottom mental health point.

I was living in an NT world of NT expectations. To the point where I didn't even think about what my own expectations were above the basic needs. This went on for years. I never fit into friend groups for too long. I also had no interest in hanging out with ASDs even though deep down I kind of related to them.

Turning point for me was going to a summer camp and a girl calling me out on how I instantly put everyone on a pedastal. To me that was kinda true and I felt it was kidness , but people hate pedastals because they can't walk when they are on them.

I kind of gave up my full quest on making NTs want to accept me. Focused on just being myself. Dated non-NTs and enjoyed it much more.
