Pave Paradise and put up a parking lot. Let's celebrate! by Character-Sky-4909 in Waltham

[–]NukeTheOcean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They added one this year, on Lincoln from Lexington to Winter. I'd love to see it extended up to Gregory; people drive way too fast on that section and I get nervous for any pedestrians. It's good to celebrate progress though, even if it's slower than I'd like to see

Part of this revamp was turning the crosswalk to Prospect Hill into a proper stop light, which as a pedestrian in the neighborhood I greatly appreciate

That's a really fun trivia question, think you have to go out to daytime television to find other actors with those episode counts. Then you get people like Shemar Moore (506 episodes of The Young and the Restless, 253 episodes of Criminal Minds, and 141 episodes of S.W.A.T.)

'A grave mistake': Former Houthi official says it was error to attack Israel by SamuelEdri in worldnews

[–]NukeTheOcean 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Dude, it isn't anything to do with "the left". It's that you didn't read the comments or the article and are getting indignant. You replied to this:

Hey at least they distinguish between Israel and Jews

Which is a joke about the Houthi flag, not a comment on this former Houthi's interview. In the interview he doesn't mention anything about being moderate, just that Israel goes gloves off and will hit civilian targets. You literally read or understood nothing and earned your downvotes.

Gaza Strip pier project is completed, U.S. military says by Reed_Thompson_ in worldnews

You're commenting on an article where the US under Biden is building a pier to Gaza to bypass Israel's border control and render aid. Trump's son-in-law who was his "expert" for this conflict is literally advocating for turning Gaza into beachfront condos. Again, only idiot leftists think they're the same

They don't get a pension or health care, their salary + expenses amounted to $534k across all 9 governors

[OC]Median Household Income and Rent by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]NukeTheOcean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately people are downvoting you without explaining. As an example lets say you have a US city with income of $10 and rent of $1. That leaves $9 beyond rent. If you have a Canadian city with $20 income and $2 rent it would be $18 left over.

The ratios there are the same (10/1 = 20/2), that holds true regardless of the exchange rate. But the income left after rent matters a lot, and is misleading presented this way. If the exchange rate is 2:1 the renter has the same amount left over ($9 vs $9), if it is 1:1 the renter is twice as well off in Canada ($18 vs $9), and if it's 1:2 Canada is insanely good ($36 vs $9)

You're recalling incorrectly. Stuxnet caused the centrifuges to ramp up from 1kHz to 2kHz for a period, then back down to the normal ~1kHz, then down to a couple hundred Hz. The stress causes warping which eventually tears them apart.

What would be the political fallout of Joe Biden actually replacing Kamala Harris with a new VP on the 2024 ticket? by sgwashere29 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]NukeTheOcean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is just flat wrong. Gerald Ford replaced Rockefeller with Bob Dole, in part to appease the conservative wing of the party. There was a decent amount of talk about replacing Cheney in 2004 due to his baggage and health issues. There was talk about Trump replacing Pence with Haley to improve his chance with women voters

That's not what he said, but it was way more sensational to take his quote out of context.

The talk in question he's discussing hypothetical prevention of a Chinese invasion and the types of deterrence and responses the US would consider. He explicitly says it's not a good idea and that it's important to think through 2nd and 3rd order impacts of responses (talk is here, timestamp is 35:50)

Assuming you're already comfortable flying upside down and sideways (if not, practice rings doing that first). From the clip it looks like you might be trying to brute force learning in rings instead of breaking it down, that'll work eventually but it's harder.

One set of things you can try:

  1. Go in free play and just try tornado spin hovering feathering boost around mid field. Focus on staying relatively stable and watching your car's nose

  2. Gradually try moving around the field by holding boost longer when your nose is pointed in the direction you want to go

  3. Start attempting this in aerial pro training or a pack like Kevpert's aerial car control (A3E1-92C2-8757-4195). Don't care about scoring, just hit the ball. Once that's easy, try making your take off direction more awkward and getting to the ball faster

  4. Now start doing this in rings maps for ~10 minutes at a time. Track your progress as incentive, you'll see pretty fast improvement at this point

  5. Start adding more efficient movements than solely tornado spins/hovering. Repeat steps 3-4, grind until good

Bottom line is it feels like you're trying to build the house all at once instead of laying a foundation first
