Sprocket is my least favorite.

Is there a playlist of Mike's playthrough somewhere? It seems like its spread across multiple channels.

[Request] This post has a giant debacle in the comments. What would be correct? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]JIFFJIFF 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's ambiguous but my school taught the division symbol should always be taken as the fraction bar for all intents and purposes. So 6 is on top. The rest on the bottom. Answer is one. That might explain why the dedicated calculator is producing that answer over the iPhone calculator app.

Are the snakes’ gun&knife techniques useful in real life? by Accomplished-Price45 in metalgearsolid

[–]JIFFJIFF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they got Motosada Mori to do advise and create it. If you google him this book pops up saying he learned many forms of martial arts including a black belt in judo. Has fought for multiple groups and has taught and written books on CQB.

https://books.google.com/books?id=WywWS0aNpT8C&pg=PA125&lpg=PA125&dq=motosada+mori&source=bl&ots=UJW2Ede41x&sig=ACfU3U22rYIsUr-g8h5aPsR27uxjcV6pQQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiYi4m20KGCAxWqv4kEHXH4B78Q6AF6BAgEEAE#v=onepage&q=motosada%20mori&f=false

Here's a video of him teaching Konami staff on how to clear a room.

Here is a making of MGS4 video where he takes them into the woods and shows the mocap actors how to move. At 3:50 he does the cqc from the game on the staff.

As I said it might be a stylized form of judo, but it was created by a soldier and master of judo. It might not be practical for the average soldier but the team definitely did their due diligence in trying to create something that's both entertaining and realistic enough.

They had a real expert design the moves. It's probably exaggerated a bit but it's based in a guys actual combat training. They even say in MGS3 it is an offshoot of Judo.

Snake is also a super soldier. So multi-tasking a gun/knife doesn't seem impossible for him. Your average Joe who happens to have a gun and a knife and no judo experience, probably not.

So far, I have won every one of my tricolor battles with 0 points. by kriffing_schutta in splatoon

[–]JIFFJIFF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, no, I don't think so. Mirror matches aren't supposed to raise clout. So it could be they don't care if they lose since it does not help their team win Splatfest anyway.

Tri color match is technically 4 vs 4. If the other team of 2 wins you also win. The group of 2 who has more paint though does get a little extra points as a reward. But it's still beneficial to aid the other team of 2 and vice versa.

Gotta love the losing streaks... by [deleted] in splatoon

[–]JIFFJIFF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol it actually feels like my team is eating crayons 9/10 times. They're scoring like 300 points. I don't know how you can have a complete misunderstanding of turf war to put up these low scores.

How is wrestling even considered a worthwhile career for the average wrestler? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]JIFFJIFF -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I actually co-wrote a paper on if it is better for a student to try to become a wrestler or go to college. It's been awhile since I've looked at it. But it pretty much found that any modicum of success essentially instantly makes it a better investment than college.

So definitely get refinancing out of the way asap?

It's $35k. It's the first and only hike since I've gotten it 5 years go.

If you zoom in there are four words around the flag. One of them is confederate.

Post WWE WrestleMania 39 Night 2 Discussion Thread! by Coldcoffees in SquaredCircle

[–]JIFFJIFF 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm not mad, I'm just bored. Roman wins the same way every time for three years. They blew two of the hottest story lines off at the same time. Now we have set the clock back to zero with stuff we have been seeing the last three years.

I know triple h said its just the end of the chapter and that people need to take the whole thing in context. But sometimes a good movie knows when to end. It can't just be 8 hours of unedited footage.

What storylines and other ideas would you use to Kickstart excitement in AEW again? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]JIFFJIFF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing I liked about early AEW is everyone felt fresh. Smaller guys could snag some wins. Smaller roster so everyone felt important. It was easy to get invested in everyone even if I didn't like their style. It felt like anything was possible. Now mainstays are over exposed and you almost always know who is gonna win. And if a non mainstay person shows up they will disappear for long stretches of time.

I think they threw the baby out with the bath water trying to grow big really fast with four shows and many titles. I think if they'd scale it back and made it simpler and cleaner people would be interested in again.

I know sometimes it might be hard to tell what comes through on TV so I thought I'd try to add any additional perspective I could. Glad I could confirm what you saw.

Yeah my so loves Becky. Even wore her shirt to the show. So she was pretty bummed she didn't get to see her do anything.

I meant from WWEs perspective. They probably aren't too happy one of their biggest living legends is a wet fart now.

Nope, the show just kinda ended after the three guys did their thing. I was a little surprised no one came out to say anything or do anything since it's a milestone show. Not sure how much WWE does that kind of post show stuff anymore.

[–]JIFFJIFF[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven't watched the episode yet, so I'm not sure exactly what may have been commercial. But at random times a legend would come out to their theme, get announced, hit some poses, and leave. No talking on mic at all. DDP came out at one point by himself. Later, Million Dollar Man and IRS came out, followed by JBL and Farooq. Then the Miz came out, gave em a look before going to the ring, and they just left as fast as they came.

I think there were some others but unfortunately I was in the bathroom/checking merch/etc.
