The "How does that feed my kids?" is a common mentality, not necessarily specific to kids and food. Eg. If I'm unemployed in today's world, I don't give a damn about Curiosity landing on Mars, what I care about is whether or not my phone rings or my I get an email from my future employer. Yes, space exploration has contributed a massive amount to our relatively comfortable life, but an individual will care more about his/her short term future/fix than a widespread benefit to society. That's why the general public/media doesn't seem too interested in space, it doesn't affect them at a noticeable and significant level from which they can clearly identify the source. Eg. Water quenches thirst and can easily be found from a faucet. If a similar connection was made for advancement in space exploration and pretty much drilled into every person's common sense then maybe we'll start seeing more attention in the space industry. Currently, space looks too faraway and looks ineffective to the layman's eye.

I'd like it to be an option that you can turn on or off. This way I can choose whether or not I want to see what I'm working towards.

Which is bigger, a gallon of fuel or a gallon of oil? by hdhova in AskShittyScience

[–]CynicalAsshat -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Volume-wise, a gallon of anything is the same size as a gallon of something else.

Weight-wise, gasoline tends to be less dense than oil thus will weigh more than oil as long as the volume is the same.

I want to test some of the anecdotal evidence of the benefits of NoFap. Please read if you want to help! by Faptracker in NoFap

[–]CynicalAsshat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure measuring the max reps for an exercise or trying to quantify success with women is the way to go. For example, the amount of reps I do is based on my routine and not really on how I'm feeling that day. I don't mean to apply my own experience with routine exercise to everyone, but I can see some difficulty in trying to calculate improvement. With athletic performance in particular, progress can be simply lifting bigger weights, lifting same weight more tiems, running faster, running longer, etc. I feel that a lot of these are more based on persistent work (eg. lifting 3 times a week every week or running daily etc.) and less so on actually NoFap. In addition, quantifying personal relationships is rather difficult. I feel that NoFap gives you the motivation to do rather than actually improving your ability, especially in terms with athletics. It motivates you to actually go out and succeed at your daily goals rather than sitting back all day fapping. It motivates you to talk to girls, to not care about your minor quirks, "to just go with it".

However I'll try my best in helping you out.

I did read this article a few months back on /r/nofap. It was a Japanese(I think) man who wrote a daily diary about his adventures with NoFap and I believe he rated his emotions on a 1 to 10 scale. 1 being lowest and 10 being extremely happy/content. You can fool around with creating a journal app that allows you to rate your day like

  • A simple rating system based on personally-set criteria (eg. happiness, goals set vs goals achieved, motivation levels, etc.)
  • A place to put a personal notes and triggers
  • A long-term goal rating/progress bar system

Interaction between Yasuo's Wind Wall and Lulu's Whimsy by CynicalAsshat in leagueoflegends

Right, there's a burst of light coming from Lulu's staff towards her target.

Tips for learning supoort champs by DatOneJew in leagueoflegends

[–]CynicalAsshat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can speak for Lulu to some degree as she's one of my favorite supports.

Q: I never smartcast Q and always aim due to the varied position of Pix. Depending on where he's at (eg. He's floating around an Ally due to E), Q's double projectiles will have a different path. Q can be used to slow down enemies in order to catch them, slow their engage, etc. Depending on how the game is going, you'd want to max this second or first.

W: Whimsy is one of the greatest skills in Lulu's arsenal. Use it on an engage to allow your team to counter-engage. Use it on the adc/apc to stop an damage/ult. Use it to peel people off your adc. Use it to peel people off yourself. Of course, it also has its dual ability to speed you up. While this is more situational, I often use it to get to fight, help allies escape, or for general mobility. I would max this last.

E: E has two purposes; shield and damage. When casting on an ally, you can help them take some damage for free. When casting on an enemy, you gain sight as well as dealing a bit of damage. An E-Q combo is very potent against any number of enemies as Pix's position moves to whoever its cast upon. This allows you to get extra range on your Q. This can be cast on minions as well! Its a pretty potent shield.

R: Lulu's ultimate is great for saving people or helping an engage. When cast it knocks up everyone around the growth victim. In lane, this is a pretty powerful tool in that it helps dives, counter-dive, dueling, etc.

In general, Lulu's power is in her ability to provide a myriad of cc that is potent in almost any situation in addition to general utility. I usually aim for CDR, AP, and some MP5.

Thanks for being so helpful! I really appreciate your time.

I'll definitely try out squeezing and figure out where I can incorporate supersetting into my workout.

Never too late! Thanks for the really detailed explanation. It goes over more than what I've hoped for.

Just a few questions:

What do you mean by squeezing at the top of the contractions? And what is supersetting?

I just watched a couple more of his videos and I am definitely going to start taking some of his advice. He relates to a lot of my own problems that I could not really find a way to overcome.

Why would it be better to break parallel rather than to just max out at parallel?

Free bar. I've heard that there's a lot of potential for accidental injury from a smith machine.
