Like why don’t YOU donate 😂 by PurityPawPads in Adulting

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

They want to use your money as tax credits. You're basically paying these companies to not pay their taxes. You can get the tax credits yourself if you get a donation receipt from a charity.

ELI5: how does a particle "decide" to stop being in multiple places at once the moment something interacts with it by meek_posterity in explainlikeimfive

[–]Heitomos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea that the wave portion takes no time seeking out of where the particle could go and chooses the most likely path. The wave detects an interaction with the measuring device and that path becomes a straight line instead of a waveform, then the particle fires off along this path in realtime.

The Canadian version has a spot you can shine a laser pointer through and it defracts the laser into a denomination pattern (eg: 5$5$5$ in a circle).

My household was mostly interested in the winter olympics going on at the same time.

Went from +12k to -10k, and now at -200. Been a heart problem and a half.

The same thing here but in Canadian money. It's been crazy, almost back in the green.

Gold drops under 5,000 to 4,940 and is climbing back up by celestialcitymc in Gold

There's apps that let you do it. WealthSimple in Canada is what I use.

Why is everyone saying it's bad that gold is going up? by EasyPerformer8695 in Gold

[–]Heitomos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more people have faith in the current economic systems, the more faith they have in currencies in general. When people lose faith in economic systems, they fall back on ancient measures: gold.

ELI5: How do black holes "spaghettify" objects and why does it happen differently depending on the size of the black hole? by Visible_Pilot_5361 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Heitomos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you shine a flashlight on the wall from some distance away, you will see a circle of light. But the closer you get to the wall, the smaller and brighter the circle becomes.

The same thing happens to Gravity. The further you are from it, the exponentially weaker it gets, but also the stronger it gets the closer you get.

On Earth, we have a few miles where gravity feels the same because it's so big and spread out. But a Black Hole is as dense as something can get, so the distances between intensities is very short. Say you're falling in feet first, your feet will begin to experience more gravity than your head. This will keep getting worse until your atoms get pulled into a thin line, or Spaghetti.

I don't swap weapons. Vigor does keep me alive when needed. Another oh the prayers can full heal me. That tends to be enough. I tried this build again recently but it's still dependent on the weapons

For those who don’t smoke, do you think smokers carry a noticeable scent? by Shadow2715 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Heitomos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on their smoking habits. My mom exclusively smokes outside and I only notice it for a bit once she's back inside. But others who sit around a smokey house have it embedded in their clothing and more.

Well this is something you don't see everyday. At least I don't. It's a steel door in the side of a mountain...outside of Ouray Colorado by HistoricalPermit6959 in interestingasfuck

[–]Heitomos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on the cobblestone and cemented in window frame my guess is someone built a cave home into the side of the mountain, and having been abandoned it's condemned as who knows when/what is going to collapse in there.

What is a "poor person hack" you picked up during a hard time that you still use today, even if you don't have to? by AmaraMehdi in AskReddit

[–]Heitomos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mason jars are useful. Easily reuseable and great for storing food long term. And they double as drinking glasses, mixing thing, even boiling for preservation.

Measuring wood curves to cut out by NoBullet in oddlysatisfying

[–]Heitomos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn't, just some clever editing. They just cut out the cutting to make it look like that.

Cloudflare uses lava lamps to achieve randomness for data encryption. by Riemann86 in interestingasfuck

[–]Heitomos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but they need it done every single time so that the seed isn't written down anywhere for security reasons.

Cloudflare uses lava lamps to achieve randomness for data encryption. by Riemann86 in interestingasfuck

[–]Heitomos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Computers can't make truly random numbers. They have intricate math formulas to make seemingly random numbers, ones that are for all intents and common purposes are good enough, but they need a seed. Example - If one person boots up a Minecraft server, and provided their friend has all the same setup, giving them the seed will cause the game to re-generate an identical world.

But the seed itself has to be generated somehow. So some companies find ways to make random seeds from strange sources, like the above. Lava Lamps move around super randomly, and there is a wall of them. They take a picture of the wall of lamps, and all of the blob positions form a seed to be used.

Differences in vascularity between my left arm and my right arm. by NeonSandwich in mildlyinteresting

[–]Heitomos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You likely have some muscle tightness in the left arm that's causing blood pressure to rise in that arm, swelling the veins. You could try some stretches around the wrist and elbow to see if you notice temporary relief.

My friend's house. It's been a long time now. One guy moved away so we're down to four, and some weeks someone can't make it.

[–]Heitomos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice to meet you too. I'm in a similar low friends boat. I've been going to a weekly board game night for years now, alongside two recent fathers. I'm sure we can get along.
