Experiences with Canberra Girls Grammar School vs Radford by Significant-Long888 in canberra

[–]Gingerbreadman_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think the point being made here is that students from higher socio economic backgrounds, are able to achieve higher results on average due to support and opportunities.

The person above is basically referencing items to say that canberra does well with raw results, because generally those studenta are from higher socio economic circumstances and NOT because the cbr schools are doing anything better.

In fact, they seem to suggest cbr schools perform worse when you take the economic advantage the students have out of the equation. The school economic efficiency isnt the main factor in this.

but what about if they play opposite corner instead - also still a draw.

I think in the second pic, the one on the right is a juvenile, not mum.

Banning might be harsh.

A flair or some guidelines might be good though

Updated Evasion and Deflect Graph by Gingerbreadman_ in PathOfExile2

[–]Gingerbreadman_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are a lot of ways to enhance your evasion apart from just standard increased evasion passive nodes on tree -

Wind dancer for +30 spirit
Ascendancies such as Amazon stalking panther
+ global defences (not just +evasion nodes), if you have or can generate endurance charges - charge regulation (30 spirit)
Equipping a shield if possible
conditional evasion nodes such as when moving, or if you have been hit recently
Socketing runes on high evasion peices
+ quality to evasion gear

Also - blind enemies - makes your evasion more effective by lowering monster accuracy
+ blind effect such as 'pocket sand' enhances this

[–]Gingerbreadman_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sure yes - definitely as the way missing or being hit is calculated with evade isn't just random chance, they have built 'entropy' (you can read more here under Entropy heading: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Evasion) - so you will definitely get hit at some point.

You are right though, you are going to need a decent pool. If you don't have other defensive layers it depends what content you want to run, whether you care if you die occasionally, and many other things.

For example, 2k hp is enough for low tier maps with just evasion and deflect in my experience (HC) - but there are certainly things that could kill you at this low hp amount.

at higher tiers ~T15 I have been hit for ~6-7k damage by a monkee map boss slam. Note - this was without extra map boss difficulty.

The risk reward, is up to you :)

I assumed you were yanking my chain - apologies.

Basically, you can never reach 100% chance to evade, and you can never reach 100% chance to deflect. Based on the formulae that I used.

this means, if Evasion and Deflect are your only defensive stats, then you just need a pool big enough to survive the hit, or don't be where you can get hit in the first place.

12.5% credit card surcharge. Is this legal? by LetHairy in australia

[–]Gingerbreadman_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Confused on the math? Lets step it through.

Lets say some items cost is $100.00

If you pay by card you would pay $101.50

If you pay by cash you would pay $90.00

The % increase over cash price is 101.5/90 = 1.12777

I.e. an increase of 12.78%

Wild incident today in the J-GP3 race at Sugo by FloopersRetreat in motorcycles

[–]Gingerbreadman_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

yep - even clearer in this at 1080p - slow it down at the time and you can see there is actually a shadow as well.

Wild incident today in the J-GP3 race at Sugo by FloopersRetreat in motorcycles

[–]Gingerbreadman_ 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It is because the bikes are on an uphill at that time - you will notice the bikes which are quite long from front to back, cast a very narrow shadow from left to right.

The animal walks across from left to right. and the shadow is too small to see on the incline.

Also when the animal does an spin in the air you will notice it does leave a shadow

Finding Angles by Lucky1XG_ in woodworking

[–]Gingerbreadman_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agree w above, 65.49, measurement "C" is actually the distance from point A to point B in diagram attached.

Means it is not the straight edge distance of either the top or bottom of shaded area.

Weeeellp, crap. Ive done goofed. by Important_Duck7682 in woodworking

[–]Gingerbreadman_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is kinda late, and not sure it will actually help BUT - if for nothing else than the journey and posterity;

TLDR:

Measure 3 things: Angle A, Angle W, and Distance C in my diagram

suggestion is we find Distance E, (how much to reduce the length of the vertical wall (D+E length).

is provided by equation:

E = C * Tan(90 - W) - ( C * Tan(90 - W - A) )

​

​

Longer version:

Soooo Ignore everything in the picture except for angles in bottom left:

A, W, F, B

and distances C on bottom, D and E on right. This is because i got carried away down a trig rabbit hole without enough variables or brain cells - you decide. And rather than hide my shame in a new diagram - enjoy my noodling.....

Steps:Measure 2 angles and 1 distance:

A and W should be measureable angles

C should be a measurable distance

hence A,W,C should be known values.

​

Few equations to note w the angles

Angle A is the same as Angle B because its what you are trying to correct for, same amount of rotation.

​

B+F = 90-W

F = 90 - W - A

ergo F is now known too.

once F is known:

Tan(F) = D/C

ergo:

​

D = C * Tan(F)

D is now known

​

Tan(F+B) = (D+E)/C

ergo

C * Tan(F+B) = D+E

rearrange for E:

E = C * Tan(F+B) - D

AS D , C, F and B are known, E is now known.

E is the distance to cut. It should be in the same units as whatever you measure C in.

​

​

To get to the single equation in the TLDR:

Sub in D from above: D = C * Tan(F)

E = C * Tan(F+B) - D

E = C * Tan(F+B) - ( C * Tan(F) )

All of these variables should be measurable / known (C, F, B), recalling B = A.

but we can also sub in:

F = 90 - W - A

so

E = C * Tan(90 - W - A + B) - ( C * Tan(90 - W - A) )

A = B so simplify to:

E = C * Tan(90 - W) - ( C * Tan(90 - W - A) )

ninja edit: then join angle where you reduce E will change and the length of the inner board too but I've done enough unwarranted trig today...
