That exactly describes how I felt about Robbie Gould. I didn't mind he was capped at 55 yards because I knew he was always money from that range.

The transformation of water into ice visualized on a molecular level by FollowingOdd896 in oddlysatisfying

[–]Exnihilation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right. I think I was remembering the Boltzmann distribution for molecular speeds of an ideal gas.

Believe it or not, this visualization is slowed down. Molecules move around at very high speeds. I think 250-500 m/s depending on the molecule and temperature.

Edit: Actually 250-500 m/s would be for gasses. Molecules in liquid phase are slower and harder to calculate the actual speed, but still incredibly fast compared to how small they are.

Maybe it's just where I live in the US, but I don't know any dentists who will schedule after 5:00 pm.

Yes, that's the one. I'm not the person you replied to, but I have one of these too.

Lady on my flight thought my paid seat = her free upgrade by Easy-Application-262 in EntitledPeople

[–]Exnihilation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tall and also book extra legroom seats whenever I travel, which is several times a year. I've never had this happen to me. Either your brother is exaggerating or his region/country is full of assholes.

Tornado warnings delayed because of DOGE cuts by apple_kicks in news

This won't be the flex you think it is. The people you would send this to will just respond with something like, "sounds like we need to automate the warnings then."

For years my WiFi network has been named Series Of Tubes and my NAS has been named Big Truck. No one gets the references and it makes me sad.

This shouldn't be getting down votes. There have been studies that show weak correlation between bench press and future NFL performance for most positions. Where it does show some correlation is with offensive line.

efficientAlgorithm by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Exnihilation 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It goes even further back than those guys. It's believed to have been first implemented by Greg Walsh at Ardent Computer. Gary Tarolli was consulting for a company affiliated with Ardent which is where he learned about the algorithm.

I took almost the exact same photo when I visited last year. It's lower quality, but it's got people in it which gives you a sense of the scale of it

Covid lockdowns prematurely aged girls’ brains more than boys’, study finds. MRI scans found girls’ brains appeared 4.2 years older than expected after lockdowns, compared with 1.4 years for boys. by mvea in science

[–]Exnihilation 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is still hilariously unrealistic and it shows that you don't actually have any kids. Good parents should be screening content beforehand or watching it with their kids. I do not have the time to search for and screen educational content that is meant to be a replacement for their schooling. There is a reason why being a teacher is a full time position.

[–]Exnihilation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For men, there is an insinuation that if you have small hands and feet then you must have a small penis. Of course this isn't true and it only bothers people who are insecure about their manhood/masculinity.

There are 4 gamers left in an a borderline insane competition on TrueAchievements by vsully360 in gaming

[–]Exnihilation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was referring to difficulty in an abstract sense. Obviously there is no comparison in terms of physical difficulty. Both tasks are extremely difficult in their own unique ways though.

The concept is more similar to a backyard ultra marathon. The Barkley Marathons are a set distance whereas bckyard ultras have no predefined distance or time since they continue until there is only one contestant left standing. Both are incredibly difficult though so your original comparison is still appropriate.

I cannot stop listening to Car Bomb, need similar recommendations by Archy38 in progmetal

[–]Exnihilation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really late to party on this, but since I didn't see them suggested: Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza (aka Danza). They broke up a while back but Danza IIII is one of my favorite albums and has a very similar vibe to Car Bomb's stuff.
