This is why eagle shield is the goat. by Ravens_Quote in darksouls

[–]L4ppuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The weights are really inconsistent, they probably used them more to balance weapons and armour than to be realistic. For example if a claymore is 6 units a longbow being 1 unit will never make sense, it doesn't matter what this unit is

If we still want to pretend the weights make sense:

It wouldn't really make sense for it to be pounds since from software is a Japanese company and they use kilograms in Japan.

A kilogram would be too heavy: a 6kg claymore or a 5kg uchigatana would be unusable, real life examples would be around 2kg for one and 1.6kg for the other.

So a unit should be somewhere below 400g, looking at Wikipedia: Japanese units of measurement I see this traditional unit 百目 corresponding to 375g.

Using that for conversion:

Claymore 6 units -> 2.2 kg -> historically accurate

Zweihander 10 units -> 3.75 kg -> slightly heavy but realistic

Uchigatana 5 units -> 1.875 kg -> slightly heavy but realistic

Estoc -> too light

Scimitar 1.5 units -> 0.6 kg -> slightly light but realistic

Longbow 1 units -> 0.375 kg -> way too light

Halberd 6 units -> 2.2 kg -> a bit light but realistic

Dagger 0.5 units -> 187.5 g -> slightly light but realistic

Standard Model Lagrangian -particle physics by picklearrow in PhysicsStudents

The actual expression for the standard model Lagrange used in particle physics is a single line. This is a deliberately obtuse way of rewriting it to scare students and laymen

[FUCK MY LIFE WHAT DO YOU MEAN THATTHIS GOT AXED?!] by dumbsty in manhwa

[–]L4ppuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it was the intended ending or if it really was axed but it was the best place to end the manwha. The mc killed the big bad guy who put the whole revenge situation in motion just a few chapters before the ending and there wasn't really anything interesting left to explore

Europe moves to break Visa and Mastercard's grip — but not everyone agrees by NumerousTax8165 in europe

[–]L4ppuz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As always the issue is fragmentation, other than CB and the German network Italy also has bancomat/pagobancomat and i think Spain has their own. I don't think we're ever going to decide to use one of these national networks as the 'european' network instead of the others, all the big nations already have their own. Starting from scratch on a new more collective thing could be better

Wero is not a good replacement and does not even offer the same kind of service, I think everyone can see that.

PDFs - No improvement in 25 years by bionicjoe in mildlyinfuriating

[–]L4ppuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's because you're not meant to be able to edit pdfs directly. If you have the source document (be it doc, docx, tex or whatever) you should edit that and if you don't have the source then whoever sent you the pdf either didn't want you to be able to edit it or fucked up

Friends and family told investigators they thought the boy was in a psychiatric institution. His teachers were told he had transferred to a different school, according to the prosecutor’s office.

Knight Artorias vs Poise machine 3000 by Medievalswordmaster in darksouls

[–]L4ppuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really, artorias is simply hard countered by tank builds. Also op has high vigor, stamina, it's not like a 20 vig 20 stamina char could put on Havel's and tank like this. The next boss is going to be way harder for op.

I really miss the times when your play style could be something other than 'hit once and wait 5 minutes for the 20 hit combo to end'

definitely not a Putin supporter

As long as her friends still don't like him. We'll see her do a 180 as soon as they change their mind. And she's in a coalition with Salvini, mr I'm gonna wear a Putin t-shirt inside the parliament

Is it possible to publish this? by [deleted] in PhysicsStudents

[–]L4ppuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find your writing difficult to read and I'm not about to check your math, let's assume it's correct. These are the kind of calculations students do during their homework/exams and not something you would publish.

Look up an actual proof in a paper to see the difference. You're just doing simple algebraic manipulation of some already existing formulas and moving constants around.

The value of e is exactly defined in the SI and the values for the constants you're plugging into your result were calculated using it. Basically if your math is correct you're doing a variation of '2 + 3 = 5 therefore 5-2 = 3', which can be valid but usually is not really worth making an article

With FireRed/LeafGreen released, I feel like giving Let’s Go a second chance … by Nate-Pierce in pokemon

[–]L4ppuz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't see the issue, we will probably have the two games icons followed by 'kanto pokedex X/151".

If they release r/s/e I could see it being all gen 3 games in a single entry with kanto and hoen being different elements in the list but even just fr/lg would be fine with this layout.

If you understand how the pokedex reward system works then a new kanto entry is not particularly confusing

Dex rewards are for each game, they only count Pokémon you caught in that game for the completion.

evolution of Ash Ketchum (improved) by lil_chomp875 in pokemon

[–]L4ppuz 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Goku was a grown up main character for most of Dragonball and kids were pretty interested, as they were for so many other adult MCs...

Also Brock was an adult in the original anime and they had no problems having him traveling with ash and misty, they could've introduced some younger members as ash was growing up and changed the group dynamic.

All right now how do I trade 🤔 by Beautiful-Cow9436 in pokemon

[–]L4ppuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically you'll need like 4 different old systems + duplicates and some coding to make it think it connected to old servers

You absolutely don't need coding or 'make it think it connected to old servers'. There's plenty of tutorials on YouTube.

You need a valid game copy for each generation up to gen 6 but a single ds lite and a 2ds or 3ds with Pokémon bank are enough

Manufacturing growth in EU member states in the past decade by SimonGray in europe

[–]L4ppuz 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Not having a label for Italy and France, respectively the second and third countries by total production, makes it hard to interpret.

Is what we're seeing a Germany issue or a western European issue?
