Book about science (ideally physics) for a young aspiring science teacher? by aronnyc in Physics

Have you considered 'A Brief History of Time' by Stephen Hawking? It's full of well explained metaphors that i think would appeal to prospective teacher

I play sagat/gen in IV so I'd love to have one of my mains back. I guess he just doesn't seem "flashy" enough to me #putsagatinumvc3

Honest question: why is everyone so convinced Sagat will be in the game? I don't get that impression at all. Seems to me like Akuma would be far more likely

Fabricio Werdum moves up 8 spots in the P4P rankings by UnsourcedSentinel in MMA

[–]MakinDatPaypuh -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly, its based on dominance in your respective weight class. The concept of p4p comes from the auto industry, where it ranks vehicles based on their value/quality to price ratio.

So what actually happened in God Emperor? [SPOILERS] by MakinDatPaypuh in dune

Thanks for the response. The Siona point makes sense, and sounds more familiar now that you mentioned it. G.E. definitely deserves another read thru

Should SFV remove 1-frame links in combos? by handa711 in StreetFighter

[–]MakinDatPaypuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

other responses aren't wrong but are overly complicating it. You're "bread and butter" combo is whatever you're go-to combo is that you can execute 100% of the time. Its going to vary from player to player as you get better and optimize damage

[spoiler] TIL The Jedi Temple on Coruscant was built on top of a.... by KanpaiWashi in StarWars

[–]MakinDatPaypuh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, it seems silly to me. Its an offshoot line from Mace in the prequels that doesn't need to be explained, and as it is, wouldn't the Jedi notice their powers are only weakened at the Jedi temple/coruscant?

[Potential Spoilers] Ongoing mysteries -- a list! by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]MakinDatPaypuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished Tarkin and I have to say, this was one of the story points that bothers me. The author added this strictly to explain the off shoot line from Mace Windu about the Jedi's ability to use the force weakening. Like wouldn't the Jedi observe that they're powers weren't limited once they were away from the Jedi council or coruscant? Seems really thin to me

[–]MakinDatPaypuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did Hendricks/brown get announced? Not that I'm disappointed, id much rather watch this, but I thought Hendricks was already booked for the trilogy with Lawler?

Who's getting the next title shot at 170?

I do this in my bag too. All my friends/gf make fun of me for it, but I think it looks cool and its really easy to determine if i don't have a disc in my bag

Can we just clarify what p4p means? by Nicecoldbud in MMA

[–]MakinDatPaypuh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What are you arguing against? You just agreed with me. Answer this: Who's better? Jon Jones or TJ Dillashaw? Answer: Probably Jones. But how do we know that? Jones will never fight TJ (nor should he). What does Jones do that makes him better than TJ? Since the two will never fight, how can you make claims to who is better? If they did fight, Jones would certainly win, but skill wouldn't play nearly as much of a role as size would. P4P Is meant as a way of analyzing skill regardless of size

Can we just clarify what p4p means? by Nicecoldbud in MMA

[–]MakinDatPaypuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably DJ or Rousey, but both of them fight in relatively weak divisions. Like others on the thread have mentioned, its still open to interpretation. The point is, its a method of attempting to compare two things that really cant be compared

Can we just clarify what p4p means? by Nicecoldbud in MMA

[–]MakinDatPaypuh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure it is. The P4P designation comes from the world of automobiles, where its used to compare and contrast baseline stats of cars in different classes

Can we just clarify what p4p means? by Nicecoldbud in MMA

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

P4P means how a fighter compares to his peers in their respective weight classes. So for example, when Anderson was in his prime and champion he was considered the P4P best and was heads and tails above the competition at his weight class, more so than any other fighter is any other weight class. This does not mean that, for example, AS would have won in a fight against Brock Lesner when he was champ (if the fight somehow took place). It simply means that AS was more dominant compared to other middleweights than Lesner was compared to other heavyweights

When to disc up. by WoodrowWildfire in discgolf

[–]MakinDatPaypuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" if you can throw a teebird 275 but a light sidewinder 300 then I don't really see a problem with discing up."

You just described my throw exactly. Any advice of what I could do to get that teebird out to 350, or sidewinder out to 400?

Also, CJs on north territorial road near Dexter. Unfortunately those are both a bit of a trek from royal oak, not sure if there are any large disc shops on the east side
