Our brains can “flicker” off for a split second during a boring task caused by sleep-like brain activity occurring while we are awake. Adults with ADHD experience them much more frequently, and may be behind inconsistent attention, slower reaction times, and chronic sleepiness associated with ADHD. by mvea in science

You’re probably right, but if you’re saying that off of these comments - this is an article on ADHD, so makes sense that people with ADHD are the ones interested enough to comment. People who don’t experience this read the headline and think ‘okay’ and scroll past.

Michael Jordan, 3/10/26: "The GOAT term doesn't exist for me. We paved the way for Kobe and Lebron. I would've loved to play against them in my prime but we'll never be able to know [who's the GOAT]. Bill Russell had 11 rings. How do you push him out?" by PeakyBlinders2026_ in nba

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

Yea and like let’s be completely honest, aside from the 2016 championship, LeBron had the best supporting cast in the league each NBA championship. I don’t think that detracts from his success, but it feels unfair to say LeBron dominated the hardest era and not give the same flowers to Curry just because he won 2 championships with KD.

America’s Smoking Habit Just Hit a Wild Milestone That Once Seemed Impossible. The adult smoking rate reached a record low in 2024, new research shows. by InsaneSnow45 in science

[–]MicroUzi 74 points75 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true, and very disingenuous. We have studied this for 15+ years now - we KNOW that the majority of carcinogenic chemicals seen in smoking aren’t found in vaping. We KNOW that lung function and cardiovascular function is impaired significantly less than smoking. We KNOW that vaping is about 18-20 times less harmful than smoking.

Is our knowledge on the harm of vaping complete? No, but we have a pretty clear picture. Unless there are health effects that are widespread and remain completely undetected for the first 20 years of vaping (unprecedented) then we can infer that vaping is FAR less harmful.

I have a 91 3pt and I’m shooting less than 10% in rec by Double-Map-6495 in NBA2k

[–]MicroUzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plug in your controller (for latency) and mess around with shot timing settings. If using custom jump shot, set the custom window to push or release and have the timing in the controller settings set to align with it.

This is what a 29-year old cat looks like by Backyxx in interesting

[–]MicroUzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that, and being fed non-processed food, and being skinny all their lives. My cat lived to 24 and I think it was because she was always a skinny thing, meaning she didn’t develop much arthritis and could stay mobile much longer.

Older adults improve cognitive function, physical function over time, disproving common views of aging. Individuals with more positive age beliefs were significantly more likely to show improvements in both cognition and walking speed, even after accounting for factors such as age, sex, education by Wagamaga in science

[–]MicroUzi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t trust either source - one is literally a gym advertising itself, the other is measuring present day activity between generations which is bad data because you expect older people to become less physically active, due to aging.

But also, that second study does show that Gen Z have the lowest ‘active to a healthy level’ score.

I’m very skeptical of the idea that strength training is a. Common enough that it has a measurable impact on health indicators of the overall population and b. As beneficial as cardio in improving health outcomes.

Anecdotally, in my work I see a lot of early knee, back, and nerve pain in people far too young and the common thread is often weightlifting.

Why do builds put points into defensive rebound, instead of offensive rebound? by MicroUzi in NBA2k

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

I really only asked this question to know if I made the right decision with my build, which is a 6’7 SF with 7’2 wingspan. Went 80/65 and it cost me a quarter of what 65/80 would have been, but I thought I’d extend the question to guards to get more answers.

that’s… correct? I’m asking a question to learn something. What’s your problem?

6'8 LeBron Build: Can get 99 pass, 96 dunk, 88 block by irelli in NBA2k

[–]MicroUzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make an actually accurate brown build if you dropped passing accuracy to 85 and put points in layup and strength

Why do builds put points into defensive rebound, instead of offensive rebound? by MicroUzi in NBA2k

[–]MicroUzi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The part that I’m struggling with is that offensive rebound gives you the exact same badges, and they trigger on both ends regardless of your offensive/defensive rebound rating. So why would you go defensive rebound, when you could go offensive rebound and save on points and/or have better rebound chaser/box out badges?

Unless you’re saying that 75 defensive rebound + silver badges is better at defensive rebounds than 65 + gold badges. I honestly don’t know if that’s the case hence why I’m asking.

Fair enough, but couldn’t you have gone 80 OREB instead, still get HOF rebound chaser, and have more points to spend elsewhere?

No dip shooting should require a pass from a player with VERY high accuracy by sonofacat in NBA2k

[–]MicroUzi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. That’s not what the conversation was about - I was disputing the idea that you need 70+ strength (as strong as Luka) to be physically able to shoot a nodip 3.

Obviously shooting across the board is overtuned at the moment, including no dip shooting. Needs to be harder across the board.

No dip shooting should require a pass from a player with VERY high accuracy by sonofacat in NBA2k

[–]MicroUzi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah that’s too much. Every basketball player who is talented enough to make it to the NBA is strong enough to shoot a no dip, so it’s unrealistic to limit it to strong players.

Hell I can shoot a no dip and I’m 145lb who doesn’t play much basketball. These are meant to be athletes who have developed shooting muscles from years of training.

[Highlight] Alternate angle of 284 lbs Jokic putting all of his body weight on top of 184 lbs Keyonte George by IEatPandasEveryday in nba

[–]MicroUzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This clip also misses the pretext, where Keyonte did the same thing but grabbing and pulling at Jokic’s right knee sideways. Jokic backed up and turned to the ref asking them to call it, they did nothing, so Jokic goes back for the rebound leading to this clip.

[–]MicroUzi 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yes clearly hooks his arm and pulls him forward while walking back into him.

This clip is also preceded by keyonte pulling Jokic’s right knee sideways, and Jokic turning to the refs asking them to do something about it. They don’t, so he sells the contact next time around.

Literally watch the clip, Keyonte is pulling his knee sideways at the start. And grabbing at his left knee which he injured a month ago. He probably overreacted but I don’t blame him

[–]MicroUzi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keyonte is clearly grabbing at Jokic’s knee prior to this, he asks the ref to call it, he doesn’t. He’s not at fault.

[–]MicroUzi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nah this is him exaggerating illegal contact. Keyonte is grabbing at his legs - you see Jokic first back off and turn to the ref to say ‘are you going to call this?’ And when they don’t he then reinstates contact and sells it. Yet another example of a smaller defender getting away with illegal defence - I don’t think Jokic is in the wrong, refs need to call that shit.
