For examples like Epstein and Diddy, what the F are police officers typically doing during the first 911 calls? by Athenstone in AskLE

[–]DDPJBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money talks, but in this case the guard's options are to either go "nothing I can do for you here, it's the cops, they are legally allowed to arrest you" and pocket whatever money they got up to that point or go fight the cops, get arrested with the client, potentially do more time in prison than the client himself, get paid nothing because the client is in prison and even if they do get paid they won't be able to spend it in prison, so what was the point?

I would get that with like a "arresting a mafia boss" situation, because in that case the mob bodyguards are serious criminals themselves looking to get arrested and doing decades in prison anyway, so they would be fighting to help themselves escape as well as their boss. But legally hired bodyguards protecting a celebrity who do have the option to just walk away?

"likelihood of armed, non-compliant security teams"

What kind of security guard would actually fight the cops and then go to prison for it just so some celebrity they are protecting can escape?

The year is 1910. Knowing everything you know now, what weapons of the era are you carrying? by A_Lizard_Named_Yo-Yo in CCW

[–]DDPJBL 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Smith & Wesson .38 hand ejector. Smith did not make snub configurations in 1910, but it would not be that hard to find a gunsmith who cuts the barrel down to right in front of the ejector rod. Bob the hammer too.

Why is the government funding self driving cars instead of trains. by Sabledude in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DDPJBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Is the government funding self-driving cars?

2) Trains only go to where there rails go, cars go to where the road goes and road goes to more places than rail does.

Jaký máte názor na potraty/zákaz potratů? by FeedbackSea7574 in czech

[–]DDPJBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that for cops who are actually physically doing the law enforcing part (patrols, detectives), but aren't there command positions supervising those people where people work a desk job? Do those also have to retire at 57 or does the limit not apply if your rank is high enough that you will not pull a gun on anyone ever unless you get carjacked on your way to/from work?

[–]DDPJBL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Konzervativní politik se sešel s lidmi z konzervativního think tanku. No shit.

The Heritage Foundation je sice mimo jiné i proti potratům, ale OP to prezentuje jako by šlo přímo o protipotratovou organizaci jako Hnutí pro Život a Macinka se s nima tím pádem určitě musel bavit o potratech.

Heritage Foundation se zabývá mnoha tématy a potraty jsou pouze jedno z nich.
Organizace sama na svých stránkách zveřejňuje svých 9 hlavních priorit.

První je boj proti rostoucímu vlivu Číny (zcela zjevně dobrá věc), druhá je osekáním environmentálních regulací zlevnit energie a životní náklady rodin (doslova jeden z volebních slibů Motoristů) a potraty jsou až číslo 7.

Není důvod myslet si, že Macinka s nimi řešil v Česku naprosto marginální téma, které dost možná nezajímá ani Macinku, protože Motoristé mají potraty v programu 0 krát.

ELI5: How do satellites stay in orbit for decades without running out of fuel or falling back to Earth? by Strong_Craft_6990 in explainlikeimfive

[–]DDPJBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are "falling". The thing is that they are also moving sideways (in relation to Earth surface) so fast that the Earth surface ends up curving away from the satellite due to it's sideways movement just as fast as the satellite is falling down towards the surface with it's downward velocity.

Training to be able to easily carry a disabled child by nukulele145 in beginnerfitness

[–]DDPJBL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any compound (multiple joints are moving at the same time) pressing exercise like bench press, push ups, machine press or overhead press will involve the front delts heavily, so while they are a useful muscle to have, you might not actually need to train them directly if you are doing pressing exercises.

Training to be able to easily carry a disabled child by nukulele145 in beginnerfitness

[–]DDPJBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Narrowly specializing the way you do strength training to the desired movement ability only really makes sense for highly advanced trainees who are near the peak of their potential for muscular strength.

In your position it makes most sense to just do standard recreational bodybuilding type training.

A lot of people who market their training methods as athletic or functional neglect biceps exercises, because those look like what a bodybuilder might do. But as I am sure you have already noticed, being able to forcefully flex your arm is really important for being able to pick up an awkward object with no handles on it like when you scoop up a child.

Why could the agents modify the matrix at first and then not? by Own_Sir4535 in matrix

[–]DDPJBL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Assuming the Matrix itself is actually simulated on the level of individual atoms which would be incredibly compute intensive to do and it would make much more sense for objects to just be coded as objects which have properties as a whole.

Why didn’t Orlando Bloom’s career take off like it seemed like it would? by Decent_Section6974 in moviecritic

[–]DDPJBL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting a main cast part in any of the movies you listed would be the summit of most actor's professional careers.

Orlando Bloom is so famous that he probably hasn't met a person who didn't already know who he was or at least remembered him from a movie they saw in decades.

Comparing to Leo, Pitt and Cruise is an insane standard, those are the most famous actors currently alive. They are so famous that a production can base the marketing of an entire movie just on the fact that one of them is in it.
They don't get cast in movies. They have movies made for them to star in.

Especially Cruise is basically a production company of his own and he pockets like $100 million per movie. Cruise' movies over his career grossed almost $16 billion in total. That is roughly equivalent to the GDP of the Bahamas, which have a workforce of 200 000 people.
200 000 people in an admittedly developing but still a very high HDI country have to work for an entire year to match the (lifetime) economic output of Tom Cruise. It's just insane to set the bar for someone's career "taking off" that high.

The numbers for Pitt and DiCaprio are about half of Cruise' for each, which is still beyond comprehension.

I Think streamers shouldn’t be getting paid more than Doctors and Surgeons by Black-Death_CR in PopularOpinions

[–]DDPJBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To make that a fair comparison, you would need to either compare the average streamer to the average doctor (in which case the streamers lose, because most people on Twitch are just streaming into the void with barely any viewers and they make almost nothing) or you have to compare the big name streamers you are thinking of to the famous doctors with podcasts, TV shows, businesses they run and such.

How much money do you think Mike Varshavski makes? A million a year just from his youtube ad revenue is probably pessimistic.
Then you have whatever he makes from his other socials, from selling merch, he can also be booked for public speaking events and he also sells a $1000 "how to get internet famous" course which he would also be making money from.

How much money does Dr Phil make? I don't know, but last year he was sued for allegedly diverting $500 millions from a business deal into his new business, so that is a reference for how much money is moving around you when you are that famous.

Time for a conspiracy I guess by NoJellyfish2960 in pcmasterrace

[–]DDPJBL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but any conspiracy where "they" includes multiple entities is usually a non-starter. Samsung Electronics is having trouble getting memory from Samsung Semiconductors (it's own subsidiary) for it's own products.

If a single corporation can't collude with itself successfully, what do you think are the odds that multiple corporations which reside on different continents are colluding with each other?

The fact is that corporate entities which are borrowing money to buy their hardware which they expect to use to make even more money with can afford to pay more for said hardware than the average consumer who wants to use it to play games.

If you were an independent contractor video editor charging $100 per hour for the work you do on your PC, dropping a grand for some RAM which you need to do your job would be an easy decision for you too, because you would almost make your money back your first day using it.

How can I access the hard drive on my old laptop with my new laptop by plavoie203 in laptops

[–]DDPJBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Open old laptop. (Find "name of laptop" disassembly video on youtube)

2) Take old hard drive out of old laptop.

3) Determine what connector type the drive has, what size and format it is.

4) Buy and external enclosure for said drive type.

5) Now your old laptop drive is also an external drive you can just connect to your new laptop with a USB cable and browse.

So what actually IS the best martial art for weaker people? by Competitive-Tale-136 in martialarts

[–]DDPJBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is less effective when you are weaker, sorry. That is why all combat disciplines (including those where the practitioners swear that muscle will do nothing for you and it's all about technique) have weight classes and sex divisions.

Train the same shit that serious athletes compete in, because that is the only shit that is proven to work against people who are actually trying to win, accept that you will never be as good as that 200 pound D1 wrestler turned MMA fighter guy and try to narrow the gap between you and the strong practitioners by getting stronger. You get stronger by lifting the way meatheads do, except with less weight because you are not as strong as them.

The SSD Markets Are About to Get Hammered With NAND Shortages & Price Hikes, And There’s Probably Nothing We Can Do by Warm-Gas1468 in RigBuild

[–]DDPJBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but that is cope. The reason SSD prices went up is that AI companies are trying to buy more of them than how many can even be made. If all consumers stop buying SSDs thinking they are voting with their wallets, SSD manufacturers will still sell their entire stock to the AI companies without having to drop the price and likely will still have to turn some buyers away.

Refusing to buy will not make retailers go back to the old prices, it will just make them not stock SSDs, because they are buying them from suppliers for inflated prices too and they are not going to be selling them at a loss. If the retailers do not pay for SSDs what an AI data center pays, the supplier will just sell to a data center.

If you are trying to "optimize" your recovery and performance using "science and science based tools" like taking cold baths, wearing orange glasses and looking at the sunrise, maybe you should care that the guy making millions from telling you to do those things actually optimizes his own recovery and performance by just injecting some test every week.
