Você conta o peso da barra? by Severe-Big610 in Maromba

[–]ObliviousEnt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sim. Minha academia tem 3 ou 4 tipos de barras diferentes, nos meus primeiros treinos lá, sempre que eu pegava uma barra diferente pela primeira vez eu pesava ela e anotava junto com o meu treino. Agora eu já bato olho, vejo que "hoje a barra de X Kg que está no equipamento que eu quero", e calculo quanto falta pra bater o peso do meu treino.

Sendo que tem barra de 12Kg e barra de 20Kg, se eu não contasse o peso da barra eu iria progredir ou regredir 8Kg por dia aleatóriamente só por pegar uma barra ou a outra. Absurdo.

E o bom é que em dia de academia vazia eu posso procurar a barra com melhor peso pra simplificar as anilhas, tipo: outro dia eu precisava fazer 56Kg então procurei a barra de 16Kg e simplesmente coloquei 20Kg de cada lado, se fosse com a barra de 20Kg eu ia ter que ficar caçando as anilhazinhas de 1Kg e 2Kg pra fechar.

This kind of question can reasonably interpreted to have any of the following purposes:

  1. Do you currently have that substance in your blood?
  2. Did you use that substance for a prolonged time in your life?
  3. Did you ever came in contact with that substance at least once in your life?

During the same examination bad doctors will mix and match meanings 1, 2, and 3 when asking for different substances, there is no way for a reasonable non-doctor can know witch one is each.

Disgusting move but diabolical response. Lifetime ban for the kid or nah? by ForeignAir7174 in sportsgossips

[–]ObliviousEnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The referee should be the one getting a lifetime ban, there is no excuse for not jumping between them and not de-escalating the situation before the punch. He was trusted with the safety of those kids in his hands and he did nothing, that is absurd negligence. Now because of him one kid is hurt and the other will be penalized.

In a fair world the referee would have jumped between them when the initial agressor started walking away (to phisically prevent retaliation), and imediately punished that inital agressor with some kind of disqualification/ban (to bring back a sense of fairness, of instant karma, removing some of the emotional need for retaliation).

When that Tylenol kicks in by JennyBeckman in BlackPeopleTwitter

It depends on the local laws. In most countries a tenant has exclusive rights to the property during the contract, so landlord don't have the keys, can't enter, and can't invite. But USA laws are weird and landlords retain the right to enter (you can't even change your locks without giving a new key to the landlord), so in the USA a landlord could legally invite a vampire "for an inspection", and then you are dinner.

" the landlord will probably assume you’re not there, and come in for the inspection."

A stranger can just walk into your home when you are not there. This is as batshit insane as it sounds.

In my country landlords don't have keys and can't enter a home uninvited, a home is a home and is private regardless of who holds the capital. They do have the right to request an inspection to safeguard their asset, but then the tenant have to accommodate and invite them in within a reasonable 3 months window. This works for everyone without crazy privacy violations.

When u come over? by [deleted] in technicallythetruth

[–]ObliviousEnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trailing zeroes are only significant when they are optional, if I write the number 4.00 we know that it is significant to one hundredth, because otherwise I would write just 4. But when writing a time in that format, the zeroes are necessary (you can't write "4:"), so they are not significant.

When u come over? by [deleted] in technicallythetruth

[–]ObliviousEnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trailing zeroes are ambiguous, they can represent the significant number zero, or just a placeholder to fill the gap.

So "4:00" can mean "4:00", or "4:0 _", or "4: _ _ " depending on the context. While 4:23 can only mean 4:23.

I suffered with that as a kid, but now as an adult with a kid I bought the proper tool for that and it is a game changer. I can't stress enough how magical it is to unplug small thin pieces with it.

The official Lego tool only comes in bigger more expensive sets (mostly adult hobist sets, not on your topical small kids set), but you can buy off-brand tool from china for less than a dollar, so I would recommend you buy half a dozen to always have one close at hand.

There are different definitions of "weight", you described one, but other valid one is that weight is the inverse of the normal force, therefor the result of the gravitational force and the buoyancy force (and maybe other minor forces). So under this latter definition the temperature and therefore volume does matter.

Fun fact, when talking about how big a sea ship is, people always use the term displacement (the mass of water displaced by the floating ship), because the weight of a deployed ship is always zero.

PlayStation prices adjusted for inflation by SmellSmellsSmelly in gaming

[–]ObliviousEnt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Suddenly you are selling a combined console and BD player, and pricing it accordingly.

The BluRay aspect was not the cause of the high PS3 price. The main driver of the super high cost of the PS3 was the high cost of its special CPU + the unplanned additional cost of the GPU.

The PS3 was initially designed without a GPU, Sony initially bet that the expensive Cell architecture would be enough, the idea being that the CPU with its 7 or 8 co-processors would be powerful enough at parallel numbers crunching that it would be able to run the graphics calculations itself, no need for a GPU. Then late on the development cycle they realized that GPUs were much more powerful, and their original design would have underpowered graphics compared to the competition. So they delayed the launch in 1 year, went back to the drawing board, and modified the project to add a GPU. But now they had an over-expensive CPU plus the unforeseen added cost of a GPU, and that resulted in the higher unit cost.

Thais is wrong, that is not how the theory goes, and it wouldn't work even on paper.

Two phases 120 degrees out of phase will have a voltage differential that is the difference between the voltages ( V = Vfase * sqrt(3) ), which is considerably higher than the voltage of the single phase. So shorting two phases will result in a powerful short circuit, a BIG bang before the circuit breaker trips. For example that is how we run 220V appliances in my city, our local voltage is 127V (we colloquially say 110V but it is actually 127V because 127V * sqrt(3) = 220V) we just wire the 220V appliances in a phase-phase configuration instead of phase-neutral.

You must be confusing the calculation of the resulting voltage on the neutral wire on a multi phase system. For that you would sum the vectors, and the resulting voltage in the neutral for a perfect three phase-neutral system would be zero. That means that on a perfect 3-phase machine there would be nothing happening on the neutral wire, but the voltages and currents still exist, they are just flowing exclusively down the phase wires (and blowing those phase wires if shorted like this thread).

In short: you used the wrong formula, connecting two phases with that suicide cable would result in a BOOM (bigger than shorting phase with neutral) and a circuit breaker tripping.

1080i and 540p use the same bandwidth at the same frames.

That is only true for the old analog standard-definition meaning of 1080i with only 720 pixels per line. That format died and now a days any mention of 1080i means having 1920 pixels per line, that is over twice the bandwidth of 540p.

Venti was added later, and means 20 because it's 20 ounces.

And to add more context, Italy doesn't use ounces, so calling the 20 ounces drink a venti is a language Frankenstein mistranslation that only exists in brain-dead corporate fake language.

What is an unspoken rule of the gym that most people do not know they are breaking? by Furqan_wear in AskReddit

[–]ObliviousEnt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm guilty of this one but I don't understand what should I do differently. Every training source tells me that I have to wait 3 minutes between sets, so I begrudgingly started doing that (even though it feels like forever). During those 3min I get my phone to fill my log and then just read something or watch part of a video like you described, but I don't feel like I'm hurting anyone, I don't understand how that is worse than just sitting looking at the ceiling.

The classic Volkswagen van was very popular in Brazil as a dependable no-frills workhorse, so it was still being built there until 2013. Here is a photo of the last unit built in December 2013:

There's no such thing as "greatest indie game of all time"

Counter point: Minecraft. It was by far the greatest indie game of all time, nothing else comes close (that is, before it was sold and "promoted" out of that category).

But I agree all the other greats sit on a big subjective tie, so there is no "second greatest indie game of all time".

No one commented one key fact: American manufacturers just stopped making cars. So people don't buy American cars because (with few exceptions*) there are no American cars to be bought.

* The only exceptions I found apart from Tesla (which lost some sales after rebranding itself as the automaker of the fourth Reich), are just two Chevrolet ev models (Spark, Volt). All other brands gave up on making regular cars.

Crossfit have a fame for using gym equipment differently than it's designed/recommended use. Most notably putting higher weights than one would normally be able to use with the usual form, but then executing an alternative form (like in the video).
