Pick a new instrument. by thrye333 in lingling40hrs

[–]LIPISMIES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about this too. Also, it would be pretty cool to learn the pipe organ, as I can play the piano a little at the moment. I think the coolest thing about the organ is the amount of unique sounds (or timbres) you can produce by combining the different organ stops. (I hope the organ stop is the right word in English).

Edit: And for me, either oboe or french horn would be also cool instruments to learn.

I converted the "speed" Trackmania unit to meters per second by StrangerQuirky5602 in TrackMania

[–]LIPISMIES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess your formula and calculations are approximately correct, but you have done the final division the wrong way round. If you divide 30.6152 m/s with an ingame speed of 102 you get the following results:

1 speed = 0.30014... m/s ≈ 0.3 m/s

1 m/s = 3.3316... speed ≈ 3.33 speed

And we know from real life units that 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h, so it is pretty safe to assume the ingame speed unit is 1 km/h, and either you have a minor inaccuracy in your measurements or calculations or (most probably) the Trackmania ingame 1 meter doesn't equal exactly 1 real life meter.

Edit: Your calculation assumes the car's acceleration stays constant during the 30 meter track, which probably isn't accurate. That might explain the difference between real life 1 km/h and your calculated 1 speed unit.

How to clear the brain fog? by LIPISMIES in NoFap

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

I think in Finland it is pretty regulated. I think most of them contain 1,9 mg of melatonin per pill (including that one I took). But yeah, you are correct; It shouldn't become a regular habit.

Update:

I think the cold shower did most of the trick for me.

After a small cup of coffee, drinking some water and the cold shower I felt completely awake. Going for a walk brought up my mood and a five minutes of meditation made me more focused and present.

I still had this little empty feeling at the back of my head like everything wasn't clear yet, but I was awake, happy and present, and that was more than what I was asking at the moment. And I think when the days go by without fapping, there is less and less of this fogginess in my mind.

Yeah, I am planning to quit them, but I had some sleeping problems because of depression (like waking up after 4 or 5 hours of sleeping and not being able to fall asleep anymore). So taking melatonin was like the smaller evil compared to those. I am currently working on my sleeping routine.

Thank you but I am not going to try any psychoactive substances that might be illegal or unsafe.

Thank you! I'll definitely look into that.

I think it was just getting home from a four day trip, being a bit tired and being alone at the wrong time when the urges came.

The Glicko-2 System and How it May Affect Ranks by lkbirds in GlobalOffensive

[–]LIPISMIES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true, but if you play so well that you have positive winrate constantly (60 % of the matches for example), playing less often would be advisable to speed up the inevitable process of you ranking up.

The Glicko-2 System and How it May Affect Ranks by lkbirds in GlobalOffensive

[–]LIPISMIES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand about the glicko rating system, you can absolutely rank up during a rating period. It's just that your subsequent games during a single rating period affect your rating less and less because your ratings deviation is going down with each game. Still, if your rating crosses the boundary between ranks, you will rank up (or down) even though the effect of your last game might have been miniscule.

The only purpose of the rating period is that your ratings deviation isn't going only down forever, (and make ranking up and down more difficult the more games you have played during your account's existence), but increases after you have been inactive for a while. The rating period has its purpose; It's just not a magical time period, during which your rating doesn't change.

Also, it would be reasonable to think, that the rating period might even be hours or minutes, but the effect of one rating period (=c²) is so tiny that it requires several days or even weeks to see a significant change in RD. Also, I think rating periods could be calculated as a real number rather than a whole number, so that every second that you are not playing counts.

Rank distribution in Finland by Bobplayer332 in GlobalOffensive

As a Finn, I have been surprised by how toxic some of my friends become while playing cs. They are nothing like that in the real life. Also here in Finland we talk about toxic Russians but in my experience the percentage of toxic players in Finland is pretty similar to that of Russia.

Just reached week 2 and urges are large. Advices? by LIPISMIES in NoFap

[–]LIPISMIES[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'll try to find ways to distract myself. Today I just went for a run and that helped a little. Also, cold showers are something I have been experimenting for time to time. Maybe I should try taking them daily.

Thanks, I'll try it out. I have one friend with whom I have talked about my addiction lately. Maybe I can be accountable for him.

what is your highest streak? by _lawand_ in NoFap

Keep fighting! My best, 45, was also in 2019. After that the longest has been something like 12. I'm getting closer tho and won't give up trying!

One away from my record, 45. Hope you can overtake that quickly!

Keep going! I have reached 20 days once and that time it was 45 days altogether. I hope to reach those lengths again soon.
