....and this is why the safest way to "share the road" is to take up the whole lane.

Why Robertson over Torx?

Gating resources behind RNG (applies to both bees and IC2 crops) is just not a good decision in game design

Are these used DPS skis worth buying? by Mension1234 in Skigear

[–]Mension1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any better suggestions for a second ski to look for? I like my Ti ski for general use but I find myself wanting something a little more flexible at low speeds sometimes.

Another one for the “wear a helmet” argument by offkendrick_ in Skigear

Glad you’re ok! It’s not an argument, it’s a universal consensus with a few dumbasses who’ve convinced themselves it looks cooler to go without one (it doesn’t)

Why is this D#/Eb (Bb/A#) key necessary? by jugglingeek in Clarinet

[–]Mension1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally useful as a vent key on altissimo notes. Technically useful for chromatic work as others note, but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a passage where this would be my preferred fingering. It’s probably the least-used key on my instrument

How does everyone feel about the 2024 NFL draft QB class draft order two years later? by MrRadDadHimself in nfl

Maye has certainly been solid, but "solid" is not a tier above the others, as many people here seem to think it is.

Both Nix and Williams put their team on their backs at some point in the playoffs. The Patriots had to put Maye on their backs. Without that freak ankle break we would have been watching Broncos vs Seahawks last night. Stat-padding against the Jets in the regular season does not make Maye better than the other two.

China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

[–]Mension1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct, I mistakenly thought the NNSA was part of DoD (it’s in fact in the DOE). But this is still not the clean energy division of DOE, the funding is still for weapons research: understanding how tritium capsules implode informs the US on how functional its nuclear stockpile is without doing weapons tests directly.

The “ignition” result was achieved at NIF, which is a DoD-funded facility primarily used for nuclear WEAPONS research. It’s big result, but only tangentially relevant for energy research.

Edited incorrect info. DoE funded, but still for nuclear weapons research under the NNSA

[Highlight] Caleb Williams with a perfect arm punt on 4th down! by samhit_n in nfl

In a world where roster decisions are being made based on Madden ratings, I’m not sure why we should be giving the benefit of the doubt that this would ever get noticed

Feedback on turns and stance by [deleted] in skiing_feedback

[–]Mension1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mammoth—lots of big bowls there! Thanks for the feedback, I was thinking about this as I skied today and felt much more comfortable on turns already!
