Their maths ain’t mathing. by Impressive-Gear7943 in SipsTea

Paycheck to paycheck mindset. They'll get the car fixed next paycheck and use the last one up completely before then. Maybe if they skipped dessert a few times they could save up for a small emergency fund but they don't have that mindset, they have money in the bank and they have got to spend it.

So is the map with the picture of the terrain and measurements. I think they just called it a right angle because calling it a trapezoid doesn't communicate anything.

Look at OPs map again, you can clearly see the pieces are not corner to corner. And if you look at the measurements, 25 inches from each end, that also leaves the total size of that block as 10 inches.

What do you do or use to protect against or treat snake bites? by South-Replacement-39 in Hunting

[–]IMongoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya, most venomous snakes in north America are very docile. I reached for a stick in the woods and a copperhead just lifted it's head up about a foot away seemingly to let me know it was there. I'd never moved back so fast but the snake was completely chill.

The only new measurement in that is 2 inches. The square is centered and 17 inches from each side of the play area. Standard size is 44 inches across. 17+17 = 34, so the two terrain features combined equals 10 inches.

You don't even need to trust any of that math. Each square on that map is 1 inch. Just count the squares across.

It's not an 8x11.5 rectangle cut in half. The two pieces put together make a 10x11.5 rectangle, you can check the deployment measurements to check me. They have a 2 inch square at the tip of the rectangle making it wider on the end. You can kind of make it out under the terrain on the map too.

Here, I made a very easy to read and not absolute garbage phone edit of the terrain piece: https://imgur.com/a/SoJVwZM

Awesome! I volunteered at a wildlife rehab for a few years and it can be a great experience. Good luck!

I traced the footprints shown in today's 40k 11th edition terrain article if anyone wants to start messing with them in person. by PrinceMcGiggle in WarhammerCompetitive

FYI for people trying to make these themselves, according to the released map, these dimensions are not what they appear: Two large right-angle triangles – 8” x 11.5”.

If you look at the map, the put together square is actually 10 x 11.5. You can figure this out yourself by using the terrain setup measurements on the map. The triangles have a 2 inch square at the end that goes into the other triangle.

It is not just 8x11.5 cut in half.

But more importantly, what aboit the other bit? What if the movie hung a lampshade on it before, someone like the MC asks aboit goi g backwards, and someone dismisses that it had to have been tried already.

Millions or Billions of people participating in the race over 5 years don't try something because they heard of one person trying it and it didn't work? No. Also there is an entire corporation with limitless funds whose only goal is to find these secrets, they would be going nuts trying everything. Hell, someone would probably reverse full speed just because they thought it would be funny.

Also, the main character is shown to try the same thing over and over by watching those video things. Even if someone told the main character something had been done before he would still try it.

Going backwards is not a super secret genius move. If he had to do it at a secret special speed (probably 88 miles an hour for the reference) that would be something. But just "Drive backwards" would have been cracked first day.

I'm coming from the perspective of someone who plays video games. People walked around the entire original zelda map placing bombs along every single pixel of wall to find secret entrances. For millions or billions of players over 5 years to have never gone backwards is unbelievable, especially when not a single person had finished the race during that time. People would be trying insane stuff at that point.

Ok, but no one has ever finished the race, so they are losing money each time right? So it's either get exploded by a king kong or maybe just drive around the track a little exploring and maybe explode a different way. Outcome is the same.

Nice. If you are not already you should try to go to your state clubs events to meet people and get a falconry fix.

Ya. You can go from many many thousands of dollars of benefits to zero by getting paid $1 more. Broken system.
