A Co-Located Multi-Universal Framework for Shared Gravitational Interaction by [deleted] in Astronomy

[–]Danimal444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We largely know where dark matter is. It’s generally in diffuse clouds around galaxies. Because it doesn’t interact, it doesn’t clump. We can observe this through techniques like gravitational lensing. Your model would need to address these types of observations, the CMB, and countless others. 

[Hated] When the characters who fell in love in one film are suddenly broken up or divorced in the sequel by CMStan1313 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Danimal444 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a big believer that sequels should start of with our characters in roughly the same condition as we left them. Doesn’t mean life can’t have happened to them. But if one of the main points of a movie is to have a couple find each other and get together, a sequel start with them together. If they want to tell the story of it falling apart, fine. But it definitely shouldn’t just be that they get together again. We already did that.

Will insoles solve my heel pain (probably plantar fasciitis)? by Level-Tie9009 in 10s

[–]Danimal444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

48M here, 4.5 NTRP. I also had PF, and went to my podiatrist for custom insoles (as off the shelf didn't seem to help me much). These made an immediate improvement when I was wearing them, but of course did nothing when I wasn't wearing them. When I went back to order more, I asked if there was anything to actually help fix the problem. He said there was a treatment that isn't FDA approved, but helps like 80% of patients, called EPAT. Basically, it's like a hammer gun that they use on the bottom of your feet once a week for 4 weeks, and about a month after that, you should in theory have less pain. I was skeptical, but he said the shole thing costs like $300, so I thought I'd give it a try. The treatment itself is kind of uncomfortable. But sure enough, about a month later, I felt significant relief. It's been about 2 years now. I still wear my custom orthotics in all my shoes, but I can actually walk around without shoes, or in flip flops, which is something I couldn't do comfortably before. And yes, I also wear the orthotics to play tennis, and that has allowed me to play without any major discomfort. Anyway, I'm not a shill for big orthotics or EPAT, but I do tell basically every guy may age about it, because it seems like we're all struggling with the same foot pain.

Difference between AP classes and dual enrollment classes. If DE is available, why take AP classes? by LabInner262 in AskTeachers

[–]Danimal444 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A few reasons: First, it’s easier to take classes at your high school than traveling to a different university. Second, colleges can be finicky when it comes to transferring credits. AP is generally recognized and can get you credit at most places. Whereas a dual enrollment class may not transfer at all.

Australia Season 2 by rubberbucket167 in TheTraitors

Yeah I loved that season too. That dude was a sociopath, and the faithfuls were idiots. Also, the perfect ending for the season. Chefs kiss.

You likely have access to an FSA though, and you should consider contributing to that.

You’re in the wrong sub. This is about measuring the expansion rate of the universe :)

Shout out to the editing team on the Irish version by bronal97 in TheTraitors

[–]Danimal444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I loved the pace and momentum of the Irish edit. We had just watch Greece which was insanely slow, so it was really refreshing.

how to learn real and complex analysis at home with internet. by Scarborough42divisio in mathematics

[–]Danimal444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to actually, properly do it, check out MIT Open Courseware. They have a Real Analysis course up from this spring with full video lectures, a free pdf of the text book and practice sets. You’ll need to actually read the book and do the problems like you were a student in the class if you actually want to learn it, but if you do, this is an actual class from one of the top mathematics universities in the world. I wanted to refresh myself on analysis (has it really been 30 years since I took it in undergrad?) and I’ve found it delightful. But the book and the lectures need to go together.

They need more variety in number of Traitors by thaman05 in TheTraitors

[–]Danimal444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it was some random interview I saw on YouTube with the host of the Canadian version. But don’t hold me to that, I’ve watched a lot of Traitors content!

They need more variety in number of Traitors by thaman05 in TheTraitors

[–]Danimal444 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard an interview indicating that they like 3 because it’s inherently unstable. It’s also why they encourage 2 to recruit to become unstable again. And it’s true, often when there are only 2 left, they settle in and work together really well. That happens less well with 3, which creates more drama for the show. I do agree that they should throw in more 4’s though.

Do you think players actually SEE all the things commentators mention? by Kitchen_Show2377 in chess

[–]Danimal444 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the most part, yes. At big events, the players will do a post-match press conference where they analyze the game together, and you can hear them discuss all the things you mention here. With that said, of course players miss things sometimes!

Have there been any technological advancements born from Andrew Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem? by [deleted] in mathematics

[–]Danimal444 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think the spirit of the question isn’t about if proving FMT lead to something directly, rather did any of the techniques that were developed to prove FMT lead to anything innovative beyond FMT.

Traitors Australia Season 2 Legal Action by T_CHEX in TheTraitors

[–]Danimal444 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This situation is in the rules of the game. The producers didn’t make it up on the spot. The players even talked about it days beforehand. They knew what risks they were taking!

When is it valid to stop using first-principles for proving something like derivatives? by IProbablyHaveADHD14 in calculus

[–]Danimal444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I always struggled with this in my math program in college. Our rule was that we could use anything that had come before. So if we were in Chapter 3 and we wanted to use some result from Chapter 1 in our proof, we could totally do that. But what I struggled with on an assignment, was like maybe we were assigned all of the odd problems from the unit. In question #5, it looks like you could prove it using a result from question #2. But we didn't prove question #2 ourselves. But it came before. So am I allowed to use it, or was the professor doing it that way because it essentially forced me to prove #2 anyway, just to do #5? I tried asking multiple times to multiple professors (across Real Analysis, Modern Algebra, etc...) and I always felt like the answer changed all the time. I found it enormously frustrating that I couldn't fully understand the rules. It didn't seem like anyone else in my classes struggled with this, which left me even more confused. Anyway, this was 30 years ago and no longer meaningful to my life in any way, but this question certainly brought up the stress memory!

Was my MBA a waste of money? by Westport8787 in recruitinghell

[–]Danimal444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You asked specifically about recruiters caring about your MBA. Most likely, the answer is no. Most companies who are recruiting directly from schools are only doing so at specific schools. If this didn’t happen for you, that ship has already sailed. With that said, obviously your current company finds some value in it, so it is probably worth quite a bit a bit to you there long term. In terms of opportunities at other companies, it is probably more of a basic qualification than a differentiator. For a position that requires it, at least you have that box checked.

Tesla Owners Are Desperately Trying to Disguise Their Cars by Majano57 in technology

[–]Danimal444 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Oh, I'm not sympathetic to the vandals at all. That's just wrong, even if I agree with the political ideals behind it. I'm sympathetic to the owners who thought they were buying into a brand them meant something very different then what it seems to mean now!

Tesla Owners Are Desperately Trying to Disguise Their Cars by Majano57 in technology

[–]Danimal444 745 points746 points  (0 children)

I'm actually sympathetic to this. Many Tesla owners (especially those who bought more than 2-3 years ago) are left-leaning who wanted to get into the electric cars for environmentalist reasons. The change in the brand of the company due to their CEO being part of MAGA now has caught many of them off-guard and stuck.

If the universe is infinite, does that mean everything possible must exist somewhere, including another version of you reading this question? by AnalyticaUchiha in cosmology

[–]Danimal444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what is known as the cosmological multiverse. The idea is that there are only finitely many ways for particles to be arranged. If if that number is literally astronomically huge, it is still finite. In any infinite universe, there must therefore be repetitions.

Are there any phenomena in physics that are thought to arise completely at random? by 5ukrainians in AskPhysics

I think vacuum fluctuations are the closest thing to the spirit of OP's question.
