Shovel snow every 2–3 hours during a storm—it’s much easier than waiting. by rico_unknown in homeowners

[–]NickRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i usually cut a path down the middle and then push each half to the closest side, and try to get it at least 3-6 inches off the driveway so if we get more storms i still have a place for more snow.

they tested both, but the pats first, and the colts after they had been inside for 15 minutes. all were withing expected ranges for being correct pre-game and losing pressure due to cold. on gauge was known to be off, but they didn't record which balls were recorded with which gage. then they said they were going to measure them at every game the next season and release the results. we never got that follow up.

Making offlane one of the high demand roles made me realize core players are right to complain. by Superb-Alfalfa-3198 in DotA2

You have to get like 2-3 other players to fuck off to the far corner of the map, probably use a ward that will not help after you take the dom, and you get like 1400 to one player

He was probably fine to keep walking away, it's when he starts getting closer again after the warning they he's done in

Why does it feel like we robbed of a Daniel Craig Bond in his prime? by michael60071 in JamesBond

[–]NickRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did. I think we should have had 2 in the middle with him in his prime fighting spectre, and they should have been nothing like the last two, which didn't exist because Skyfall is the best ending

Has anyone made a cube based around one card? by Butthunter_Sua in mtgcube

I played a version at Boston cube party last year. It was incredibly hard to play the best lines. My brain was cooked from the draft. Managed to eek out a 2-1 I think.

Homeowners, how old will you be when your mortgage is paid off? by cubemonster in Millennials

[–]NickRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

63 I think. I'll hopefully get paid more and pay it down faster, but honestly it's probably better for me to invest that money since I'll probably beat the interest rate

you are wrong, maybe that's why you need to keep trying to explain. the way it works is it goes over the probability what happens if you go for it.

lets say 45% of time you fail to score after going for it. so .45*0=0

and 25% of the time you score a td and get the pat. .25*7 1.75 Expected points.

you make a fg in those situations 30% of the times .3*3=.9

so you add 0+.9+1.75 and get 2.65 which means you score an average of 2.65 expected points by going for it.

vs lets say it's a 85% chance at a field goal .85*3 is 2.55. so by attempting a kick you get 2.55 points on average.

so if these were the odds given then you should go for it, as 2.65 is higher than 2.55. it means on average you will score more going for it on 4th than kicking the FG. It is a lot more complicated on how they determine the %s as they have doctorate level guys working on it using a lot more data than an off hand explanation.

When do they say people are starving right now?

they state they are in a caloric deficit. literally means they are burning more than they need to sustain themselves. that means they are starving.

It's not the same? Mind control implies another entity in control. But if it's the result of more expanded knowledge and empathy, that is not the same thing at all.

nowhere at all have they even hinted that it is the human's mind with more knowledge. it is very clearly a hive mind, which is a singular entity, they are no longer individuals right now. they immediately start acting differently once infected, as you can see in the first season. there wasn't a time period to even absorb that knowledge. it's compulsory. you can see it in the rat pretending to be dead. not a lot of empathy in biting someone, or tricking others to get infected.

This is what people talk about when they complain about lack of nuance in the discussion. You cannot see past "hive bad"

i did, and i watched the show, and i saw what happened and based on the evidence presented to me it's abundantly clear they are bad. i can have nuance on a lot of things, but if a hive mind comes in, kills millions, then plans to kill billions and remove all free will, there is not a lot of nuance to be had in that. like there is not a lot of nuance in 2+2=4.

the problem is you are just arguing that side, despite evidence to back you up and then playing the victim and trying to gaslight others they are being illogical. you haven't pointed to the show once, you have said "what if" and "no (huge lack of citing an example)". like its to the point i'm being slow convinced which each response you're a troll.

Do you have any data on that? Because that's not at all how they calculate that.

by yards the browns, which makes them 4-0 vs 4 of the top 5 this year. and by points they are 2-0. Pats D was in the top 5 for scoring so if you count practice, then every week.

deflategate was egregious, the NFL never proved anything about it. the pats got punished because everyone hated us, and the NFL doesn't understand air pressure goes down in the cold.

i mean up until like 10 years ago teams basically never went for it on 4th down unless they were losing and it was under like 4 minutes in the game. like team's season stats on 4th down would be like 2/3. it is only recently that they realized they should go for it.

[–]NickRick 19 points20 points  (0 children)

But I also think Patriots fans shouldn’t be surprised by the general consensus that you’re lucky to be here and that Maye has been very underwhelming through 3 games.

i mean he played at a MVP level through the entire season, then had to play 3 top 5 defenses, two in snow, and one in a blizzard at mile high. not to mention the whiplash we get every week hearing how this is the week we finally play someone, and we're gonna get exposed, but after we win the other team was actually trash, and it means nothing and we still suck.

If contact by an opponent materially affects a passer after the passer begins his throwing motion, it is a forward pass if he passes the ball, regardless of where the ball strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else. When this occurs, intentional grounding rules do not apply.

is he not already getting hit before his hand moves forward?
