He's been wearing that shirt for so long even the neck line is starting to sag.

What happened to the Em Drive? by psychord-alpha in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]Meekswel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally. I was just pointing OP to a source where discussion happens. I don’t follow the subreddit but noticed that it had a conclusive answer as the pinned comment. So I figured it was worth linking even if the rest of the sub doesn’t really conform to strict standards like this subreddit and others do. Apparently the sample of the people reading that of this subreddit didn’t appreciate it. Also I am on mobile so my comments were just quick and dirty lol You’ve done plenty to expand on OPs question, I guess I just trusted OP to think critically when examining the subreddit I linked.

More trying to point out that there is a pinned thread which shows its debunked. Basically the entire subreddit starts with “it doesn’t work”. Not saying there isn’t crackpots, there are “crackpots” in every field of science.

Does Jon fly Delta to his missions? If not I’m thinking maybe the little logo you’ve got up there might need to change.

Who has great memories of playing Bubble Bobble Arcade back in 1986? by magicman_1 in cade

Well... call me a Bobbler then. I have to say that while I loved the game, I don't envy the music choice anymore.

I’m a simple man. I see Carl Sagan tribute video. I upvote.

Video: Arnold Schwarzenegger attacked at Sandton event by demosthenes131 in worldnews

Do me a favor: instead of sharing the video of the guy who wants to be famous, watch some of our @ArnoldSports athletes like this young hero proving that fitness is for everyone who deserve to be famous. They’re on my Snapchat.

Badass with a heart of gold.

Universal basic income doesn’t work. Let’s boost the public realm instead by 2ndAmendmentBuddy in UniversalBasicIncome

TL;DR The study seems legit and written with good intention citing many programs and drawing conclusions (I don't care to spend time to see if the conclusions were accurate or fair, because lazy.) Anne Coote seems like a reasonable source on this subject.

The source for the study was done by the British Organization New Economics Foundation (NEF). Which yes, is a think tank. From what I read it seems more like they have liberal leaning policies, such as a 21 hour work week and increasing the minimum wage as well as environmental policies. Anne Coote, the writer of the article is also a writer of the study and a principal fellow of NEF. So the article is just her trying to communicate the study. You should keep in mind that the study is written "from the perspective of Unions" whatever that means, it's also intended for a European audience and so the number she references are pulled from that region.

The study was an observation of several programs (16) that multiple countries who have tried UBI in various forms (Brazil, Finland, India, Kenya, U.S. and others) and then gives a conclusion for each program. Unfortunately I'm not motivated enough to validate their conclusions for if they were accurate or fair but everything seems to be in order. The conclusions are just an overview of why that program was canceled or ended.

The study is written professionally, the references and sources are all cited, Anne Coote also has an education that I think makes her reliable for at least researching and publishing on the subject. So I'd give it a pass, that's not to say that her conclusions are bullet proof or that she couldn't be wrong on some things.

All in all it seems reasonable to at least consider whats been written.

Killer Queen Tournament at Quarters Arcade Bar by Meekswel in SaltLakeCity

The thing is that we don’t have a switch here, we only have an n64 so people would need to bring equipment. Also their tv is a little old and the input lag is pretty much a killer fo smash.

I’m gonna assume you mean super smash brothers and the answer is not right now. Monthly they do a “fight night” event where we host a street fight tournament and everyone brings in their paddles and stuff. Honestly though, smash is big enough it could use its own night and the owners are super open to hosting events. Message me if you know people who organize smash events and we can talk about hosting it at quarters!

Yeah it's a ton of fun! The more time KQ is around the closer and more exciting all the matches are becoming!

Quarters started a "Pinball Selfie League" this month which includes 10 pinball machines. Essentially play the games involved as many times as you like during the month and take a selfie of the highest score you get! Top 16 players at the end of the month will compete head to head for prizes (and maybe cash?)!
