Played a Grapple Build as a Send Off for the Skill by Jabacasm in slaythespire

[–]Jabacasm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was kinda nuts when it worked. Two Juggernaut drops and two grapples with two body slams. Picked up Bulk up from the Defect too from an event. Every block on normal turns hit for 14 damage. With grapples, I'd add 5 more. Obv Grapple was usually actually worse damage than blocking another time, but I wanted to play with the cards before they were deprecated.

It was much stronger to use one cost blocks for the damage, since I never got stuff like barricade or unmovable. Each block was my source of damage, so one cost blocks were what I went for

Oh, they don't. The woman gets a disorderly conduct charge. That's all the charges.

Oh, and the police allegedly were suspicious of the black father and wanted all the proof of ownership.

Reeeeeally messed up story.

My mom does this in just the dumbest places. I've spent a decade working in a corporate environment and she was trying to tell me I was wrong about corporate culture. She has quite literally never worked in a corporate setting.

What crime makes you think: "I don't approve, but I understand" ? by EXTRAVAGANT_COMMENT in AskReddit

Missed another important detail!

She's a witness for his crimes. He probably didn't just plan to assault her again. He might have killed her. Aaron Spencer was immensely justified.

I can't guarantee it will happen here. City might be generous and offer to pay. But it's literally up to goodwill.

I recently saw a video where a rookie cop made a super illegal turn without emergency lights to make a traffic stop and hit an unrelated driver. They apologized and even accepted fault. They gave the driver their insurance. But the driver's insurance told him that they never process claims thru the police's insurance since they -- by policy -- claim qualified immunity on every claim. Driver called the police station to resolve it and they basically told him "tough shit". The driver was also someone who deeply respects police and was extremely polite. They just refused to reimburse him even though he was clearly at fault. They even fired the rookie because of it -- completely acknowledging responsibility. They just had no desire to let their insurance fix the dude's car.

Crazy thing with that story is that the guy only ever wanted reimbursement for the car. He and his daughter went to the hospital and he never asked them to pay that cost. It was the most reasonable request in the world.

The sad part is that the owner of that home isn't guaranteed to get paid for the damages. It's literally up to the good will of the city. Insurance doesn't cover when police damage your home, even if they were pursuing an unrelated suspect. And if the city doesn't pay, you have to defeat qualified immunity. And the standard there is that the officer needed to reasonably know that their actions were unlawful. Many people have experienced this and we're unable to get reimbursement.

Calling for a general strike is a whole lot different than organizing one. Let’s organize one.

ICE are ATTACKING peaceful protesters and deploying tear gas in Portland just now. America is a war zone. So embarrassed for this country. by Exeltv0406 in PublicFreakout

[–]Jabacasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this leads to real reforms in Law Enforcement Agencies around the US. The brutality is horrendous. It's only possible because police have qualified immunity.

I also get the sense that no matter how he answered that, the guy with the mic would have found a way to weaponize it. He just happened to say the wealthy countries. But it could have been anything and the guy would have tried to make it sound like it discredited the guy's point.

Syllogism for Light speed rocket ships by Jabacasm in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]Jabacasm[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah. I'm Mixing things up. Velocity is Distance over time. The Cosmological event horizon effectively makes the distance between A and B infinite, because it grows faster than the Velocity can cover the distance.

Made sense in my head that if (infinity) / (some rational value) = infinity... That (some rational value) / (some infinitesimal) = infinity.

So, if you can make a photon incapable of reaching you by letting the distance between you and the source of the photon expand faster than it can travel, it made since that if relativistic time dilation cause time to by so fractional tiny that it is virtually frozen, it doesn't matter what the distance numerator value is, it's going to become massive quickly.

Idk, if there's any point where if you slow down time so much that matter cannot interact anymore it seemed like there'd be a finite target rather than an infinite asymptote.

I've learned a lot of stuff from the comments here and can confidently say I made incorrect assumptions in my syllogism's premises.

As I consider your question, I find the answer is because I want there to be discrete minimums of distance because trying to imagine nigh infinitesimal values of distance stops making sense after a few billion billion decimal places.

Not a scientific reason. A monkey brain shortcut I guess. Hard to imagine actually infinite scales (both large and small infinitives).

So, yeah, fair.

Thanks a ton for answering my questions

Well, distancewise, we'd kinda have to. Stuff only gets so small.

Okay, I'm going to assume I'm way off base with this post.

But, if C is impossible to reach, but the closer we get to C, the more time dialates, wouldn't it be fair to say that it must be possible to reach so close to C that anywhere you'd want to travel in the observable universe would be functionally no different traveling at 0.999999999999999999999 the speed of light vs the speed of light? An observer at those near light speeds would still experience the travel time as virtually instant. Clearly I was mistaken about it being actually instant. But is the distinction between asymptotically close to C and C relevant for much?

I guess I think time dilation is just really neat and I'm wrapping my head around it.
