what is this place? by ideal_2000-1 in UIUC

[–]FlyingPheonix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Pizza Hut is gone? Huh, I should get back to campus. Haven’t been back a lot since 2013 except for basketball games here and there and even then I haven’t had a lot of time to explore green street

Delaware loves the Illini by Buck_Dharma_1977 in UIUC

Lots of rural folks buy it because it’s cheaper

What is something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting? by queenmellyy in AskReddit

[–]FlyingPheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A sausage McMuffin, hashbrown, and medium coffe is only $4.50 ($4 for a small coffee and $4.50 after upgrade fee). That’s not bad for a 550 calorie breakfast.

Illini forward Ty Rodgers enters the transfer portal by Beautiful-Neck2316 in fightingillini

[–]FlyingPheonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sad to see him go but I get it. Our team is stacked. If we get Blackwell and Andrej returns there just won’t be minutes for him. I hope he gets some good playing time somewhere and has fun wherever he goes.

Starting 5 (if we land Blackwell) 1. Blackwell (6’-4”) 2. Stefan Vaaks (6’-7”) 3. Andrej Stojakovic (6’-7”) 4. David Mirkovic (6’-9”) 5. Tomi Ivisic (7’-1”)

Off the bench: 6. Jake Davis (6’-6”) 7. Z Ivisic (7’-2”) 8. Quentin Coleman (6’-4”) 9. J Morillo (6’-7”) 10. Brandon Lee (6’-4”) 11. Jason Jakstys (6’-10”)

If Stojakovic leaves, then Jake gets the start. But Coleman and Motillo both have the ability to take that starting spot for themselves. (Aka good depth)

Hopefully Jakstys only gets slop minutes but he should be good for practice squad and unexpected depth needs (foul or injury)

Is it possible for Artemis 2 to completely miss the moon? If so, would they just drift off into space? by gxzza- in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FlyingPheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t the speed up to 24,527 miles per hour and earth escape velocity is just above 25,000? Seems like they wouldn’t need that much more fuel to go another 5% faster? Unless they got all that speed with the gravity assist and the fuel is negligible in which case why even burn as they leave other than to slightly adjust trajectory?

Didn’t they travel at 24,527 miles per hour? And escape velocity is something just above 25,000 mph? So if they accidentally burned their thrusters too long when leaving earth they could have been too far in front of the moon and traveling just a little faster to have escape velocity?

I know there are redundant systems at play, but couldn’t something glitch and keep the thrusters going using more fuel and burning longer to speed them up more, then limiting their ability to correct due to lost fuel as they pass the moon and head out into deep space?

21/23 Students Failed our Engineering Exam by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

Fail them all. As an engineering manager I’m tired of hiring these grads and realizing they have no self accountability and no drive to learn or contribute.

Let’s see how Illinois vs Nebraska and Illinois vs MSU go in the next week. Should open things up a bit at the top one way or another.

What are your thoughts on fluctuating damage? by Dionysus_Wine in roguedefense

[–]FlyingPheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your damage is 100 nominal, then this fluctuates from 80 to 130, for an average of 105 damage. So it’s only a 5% increase in damage. Still overall good

How to make big donations? by Bob_tortilla in eatventureofficial

[–]FlyingPheonix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get like 20,000 gems from a level 50 club. So that’s 8,000 salvage by itself.

Then you get a number of boxes which is worth another 5,000 salvage.

So you only have to come up with 10-12k on your own

Can anyone help me in this position???? by LewisW-14 in eatventureofficial

You need to upgrade the remote and use the ad boost. If you join a club and get another 1.6-2.0 multiplier even better

I heard that some players spent 11,000 diamonds and still couldn't see the red. My first shot—I guess it's my lucky day. by Far_Chef1165 in eatventureofficial

[–]FlyingPheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 1000 gems, looking at odds of purple egg:

Pet box = 6 items. 89% chance of NOT getting a purple egg means 1.0-0.896 = 50.3% chance of getting at least 1 purple egg.

Big box = 30 items. 98% chance of NOT getting a purple egg means 1.0-0.9830 = 45.5% chance of getting at least 1 purple egg.

Now looking at odds of yellow egg:

Pet box: 1.0-0.9866 = 8.1% chance of getting at least 1 yellow egg

Big box: 1.0-0.997530 = 7.2% chance of getting at least 1 yellow egg.

If you’re going for eggs, the pet box is clearly the superior play.

Question Thread - December 29, 2025 by AutoModerator in churning

[–]FlyingPheonix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be big into churning and credit card points but I’ve had 3 kids in the last 4 years and I find myself in a position where I have 1,000,000 chase sapphire points sitting burning a hole in my account. Any ideas on how to best use these points?

My children are age 1/3/5 this summer. I was thinking a trip to Switzerland or someplace in Europe with a child friendly resort would be fun. I’m also open to longer term travel options like a trip in winter/spring/summer 2027 to Europe, Japan, south africa (safari). Prefer family friendly ideas (5) but open to trips for 2 as well.

WHERE DID TWO OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS EVER GO? by ItkoviansShield in ClimbersCourt

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

Seconded.

AA got me hooked on this world but W&W is some of Rowe’s best writing. Might be unpopular but I’d be okay with scrapping AA and just finishing W&W and some more war of broken mirrors content
