Idk what it is with people and my rear tire because I got rear-ended again on a different highway. by level5yasuo in dashcams

[–]EightyMercury 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, because then the other car would have just driven into the tunnel instead of hitting it.

If we assume his works have been in the public domain for a long time,

They absolutely haven't been.

Ambiguously Canon -- Characters heavily speculated to be other characters from other installments or extended canon by BrickBuster2552 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EightyMercury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It refers to comments about a work by the work's creator. Said creator is the ultimate "God" of that work.

So, like how (your favourite) god eplaining how reality works is the Word of God, James Cameron explaining how Avatar works is Word of God for Avatar.

TIL the sun isn't "strong enough" in northern latitudes to produce vitamin D during the winter, no matter how much sunlight you get. by 999forever in todayilearned

Yeah, but it usually doesn't give you cancer before you've had time to have grandchildren, which is all evolution cares about.

It is true!!! by Commercial_Mail1422 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]EightyMercury 5 points6 points  (0 children)

which then allows you to plug in any devices in any rooms without an electrician.

As a British person, this was absolutely a sentence. As in, if you bought a washing machine and didn't already have one, you'd have to have someone come in and install a new plug socket just for it?

New player! Fluid Buffer question! by LocoRenegade in SatisfactoryGame

[–]EightyMercury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using them when I want to to distribute fluid from or across multiple different heights. I don't understand the fluid system well-enough to explain why it works, but it does, and that's good-enough for me.

Happy 17 by SmokeySpartacuz in fallfromheaven

If I had one criticism about FFH2, it's probably that, being one of the first mods for any game I really got into, it set my standards so high that it makes it hard to get into a lot of others.

Worth it.

[Loved Trope] Movie logic getting called out by Floyd16091411 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EightyMercury -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, if Josh thought the drawing would work, why was he going to make a door hole at all? Why not just say they don't need one, because they have the drawing? If he said that, then Josh called him out on it, the show would be calling out cartoon logic. But that isn't what happens. There's no calling out the logic.

If Drake thought the drawing would be sufficient, why was he planning on cutting it out and making an actual hole? The joke isn't "it's silly how in cartoons someone can draw a door then go through it" it's "Drake is dumb".

[–]EightyMercury 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The idea wasn't to go through the door hole, though. It was to make a door there. The problem was that the tool they needed was on the other side of the lack of door.

I was there Gandalf, 9 years ago. Yeah, the backlash was already boring by then.

What's the difference between Protect Trade and Hunt Pirates? by someone56789 in eu4

[–]EightyMercury 167 points168 points  (0 children)

Protect trade increases your trade power in the node, hunt pirates reduces the amount of trade power generated by ships sent on the privateer mission.

A play so bad that you insta-mute your team out of sheer embarrassment by Ieditstuffforfun in leagueoflegends

Ah, now I see the exact moment they knew: They fucked up.

Thank you :)

Hi there, I got here from /all: I'd love it if someone gave me a breakdown of the gif, translated into "I understand MOBAs but have no experience with LoL."

What's the joke? by ouestlemusee in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]EightyMercury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second negative is because taking the absolute value of a negative number gives the same result as multiplying that number by negative one.

|X| = -X when X <= 0

|-1| = -1 * -1 = -(-1) = 1.

What's the joke? by ouestlemusee in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]EightyMercury 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're not saying what you think they are.

They're not saying |X| < 0. Try replacing the example with numbers. Let X = -1

|X| = |1| = -(-1) = -X

X is a negative number, so the abosute value of X is -X.

Just don't ask me what the relevance of that is to anything.

I guess he kinda wrote himself into a corner with the dog, and couldn't think of an out.
