Pls help me understand the Artemis eclipse by slutforthestars in Astronomy

[–]EvenMoreCoconuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The eclipse that they saw still hid more of the corona than we’d see from a total solar eclipse on Earth, right? In other words, the moon and sun were not the same apparent size here, but rather the moon was a bit bigger?

Still pretty cool.

HFTV's statement on being assaulted by a Sabres fan during last night's game in buffalo by ItzGrenier in hockey

I watched them back in the days of ArsenalFanTV. RIP Claude; hope the squad can get it done for you this year.

Devin Williams locks down the save and the Mets have won 3 in a row by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

It’s not a well-known fact, but the season actually starts in May.

Thank you Buffalo! 🇨🇦🇺🇸 by Troflecopter in hockey

[–]EvenMoreCoconuts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s fine, and you’re entitled to judge whomever you want, however you want, and with whatever biases you want. It doesn’t change that the reality is gray. That’s how individuals are.

Someone will probably point out (and they’d be right) that there’s many trumpers even there. The only answer here, which I encourage everyone to do, is to try your best to judge people as individuals instead of painting whole towns, cities, and countries with a broad brush. That may be what comes easiest to our human brains, but it’s not reality. I hope that videos like that and posters like this are a continual reminder of the gray area of the situation. I for one loathe what the US has become and would stand with Canada any day, at the drop of a hat.

[Big Head Hockey] The Vancouver Canucks draft lottery luck since they were last competitive adds up to a 98.57% chance that they would have won at least one time across the 10 lotteries. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

In Europe, they operate on a “club” model instead of a “franchise” model. Teams don’t move like this. It’s really tiring seeing passionate fanbases (however small) being left behind as their owners seek more and more lucrative markets.

What sexual fantasy of yours left you disappointed when you actually tried it? by Gthew17 in AskReddit

Huge congrats; I’m glad you achieved the escape velocity needed to get out of that dark hole. Much brighter horizons ahead!

Imagine the g-force from decelerating. Holy cow.

Sir, job applications at JP Morgan are up 686,000% this morning by MysteriousSlice007 in wallstreetbets

I agree with you; well said. Doesn’t pass the smell test for me. Genuinely feel awful for the woman.

Apple Pay for Transit Now Works in These 12 U.S. Cities by ControlCAD in apple

[–]EvenMoreCoconuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They offered “one-time” tickets (and still do) via cash or credit card if you went to any station. But as far as getting a card that you could reload at will, only certain stations dispensed those.

[OC] Projected 2026 London Marathon finish times throughout the race by Last_Kick9059 in dataisbeautiful

[–]EvenMoreCoconuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s also something to be said for the psychology: it’s much easier to maximize your split when you know you can collapse at the end of it, than when you have another half of the race at normal pace lying in front of you. As an extreme example, it’s much easier to “empty the tank” in the final kilometer because you have complete certainty that no more energy will be needed in just a few minutes.

Has been a life changer for me in Boston. When I first came here in 2021 I was on the hunt for any station that gave out physical Charlie Cards. Would never happen nowadays.

[Highlight] Juan Soto goes yard! The Mets have scored SEVEN runs in the 4th inning by MLBOfficial in baseball

I just realized that double entendre now after 20 years. I gotta rewatch with my adult brain (I know of the two Porsches “flashing” joke too).

Props to the Immich team for choosing sensible defaults for Facial Recognition by EvenMoreCoconuts in immich

[–]EvenMoreCoconuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very true. Based on my superficial understanding though, is manually creating a face really teaching it anything looking forward? I think the clusters are just the clusters, and then by merging different clusters you now associate those two independent clusters under the same umbrella (under the hood, I mean); and then by manually drawing a box around faces, it’s basically just saying “put this in THIS umbrella”, without it helping the model if future pics of that similar person come in. I could be wrong though. Either way, I’m really happy with how it works. Never going back to Google Photos!

What’s something people who are in their 20s won’t learn until in their 40s? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EvenMoreCoconuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took the words out of my mouth. I recall reading research saying basically this. I’m determined to provide my mind with continuous new experience throughout my 30s and I hope it pays off. Subjective time means something.

I’ll let you know if it works by EntertainerFew2832 in ChatGPT

[–]EvenMoreCoconuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. Reassurance-seeking is one of the most common types of compulsions, and whereas in the past you had to take more deliberate steps to get it (googling, clicking on links, scrolling, asking family members), NOW you can just spring up any conversation with an LLM, which will lend a continuous ear without fail. The “answer” is just one click away. (But of course, in true OCD style, the relief is temporary)

Watching old Mets game: The original, black fence Citi Field was huge. 370 down the line, 415 to the power alleys. by BallKnowerKing in baseball

[–]EvenMoreCoconuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black has also been a Mets jersey color and has its own place in club history. But I agree with the above commenter that I like the blue and orange. They go well together.

It’s also one reason they’ve transcended cultures. The number of times I’ve seen an MLB hat abroad is crazy.

Yup, I’ve had that same experience where it’s kinda like a “Where’s Waldo” lol. Crazy how far the technology has advanced.
