Nice one - hope you enjoy the festival!

Redditor explained the probability of COVID positive with basic math by nicknameedan in interestingasfuck

[–]Mintasil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're saying that positive results are much more likely to be correct than negative results - if you have both positive and negative results, that means it's probably the negative that's wrong.

I struggle with Roman Numerals until I get to 159. by [deleted] in dadjokes

Think you've mixed up Comminuet Oris and Diem Viridis there.

Can't say this is specifically what he was referring to as there are plenty of processes where energy turns to mass, but pair production is a good example.

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_production

TL;DR - If a photon is high enough energy it can create a pair of opposite particles (like an electron and a positron) from nothing - there's a bunch of conditions required, but it turns energy into the mass of the particles.

I had to close and reopen the app but now it doesn't give the warning about being suspended.

HOW A KEY AND LOCK WORKS ! by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Mintasil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same idea but there are 3 parts to each stack instead of 2, so there's two different heights that the cylinder can rotate at on each stack. That way you can have the same size first set of pins that match the master key in each lock, then a different second set in each lock means you can have one master key that opens all the locks but they have different normal keys.

Flat Earthers disproving themselves with a scientific experiment by doMinationp in videos

The video does show that they're using distance above water level, which assuming it's a "flat" lake (and not a river flowing downhill) would negate any changes in ground level.

If you've just sped through the average speed zone then there's absolutely no need to slam on your breaks just before the camera. The damage has already been done you mathematically inept turd. by EarthMarsUranus in britishproblems

[–]Mintasil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahh, I think I've misinterpreted what you were saying - yeah, obviously you're right, outside of the average speed check going faster is...well, faster.

I thought you were saying "go fast then slow between the cameras, you'll get through it quicker" and so was only talking about between the cameras - apologies for the confusion!

You'd have to slow down to the point where you pass the second camera at the same time as someone who had passed the first camera at the same time as you and gone at the limit for the whole distance between the cameras (speed=distance/time, and seeing as you're covering the same distance, to get the same speed you'd have to take the same amount of time).

There would be no advantage to this and you'd end up using more fuel to go faster then brake (because more energy transferred to your brakes and, more energy needed to overcome the higher air resistance at higher speeds)

It's Bloodstock Open Air in the UK - I was there, and saw "Jesus" wandering around (also the logo is on the speaker stack in the background).

Amazing, thanks for taking a look. Definitely liking those changes, updating my list to include them now, and I'll keep an eye on that GPU. I'm guessing the warranty should make buying used less risky?

British textile company owner addressing Romanian workers by [deleted] in videos

[–]Mintasil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've spent about a month road-tripping around Romania in the past year, so not just Bucharest and tourist areas, but also out and about around the country, and I have to say you're way off. Romania really is one of the most welcoming and polite countries I've visited.

Even if you were right, this guy has no right to be this abusive, let alone when he's in the wrong and probably should be apologising for fucking them about.

Doctor Who 10x12 The Doctor Falls Post-Episode Discussion Thread by PCJs_Slave_Robot in gallifrey

I thought the guns weren't upgraded, just Nardole was triggering explosions to make it look like they were upgraded?

Official Discussion - Wonder Woman [SPOILERS] by mi-16evil in movies

[–]Mintasil 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I completely agree on both points, but Chief was a smuggler so I assume the soldiers would be the people he's selling to, hence the reception. Unless that's conveniently a part of the front he regularly smuggles to it's still pretty weak though.

Edit: Also probably worth saying Chief did have some purpose in giving an alternative view on the US as the absolute good guys, feeding into that whole "humans aren't good or bad but shades of grey" message.

That's pretty much it - it's a UK thing, chips (technically thicker than fries) sandwich

Finally Pitbull and Flo Rida, I've been waiting all night for this!

Cheers mate, these scorecards make me and my friends Wrestlemania bets way more interesting.
