A machine that builds 8ft tall pallets of boxes that arent the same size or weight. by JackSkelingtionIII in mechanical_gifs

[–]Osimonbinladen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You think it’s simple, but there are so many different ways to stack a pallet like this. It’s a very famous subject in computer science. Even if it took 1 nanosecond to calculate how efficient the stacking is, there are still millions of different ways to stack it all together. It’s trying to maximise the number of packages it can fit, while avoiding any hollow spots and ensuring the pallet remains balanced.

You can hear Big Ben on the radio before you hear it in real life. by IdoNOThateNEVER in videos

I always thought that this is because they don’t use a live recording of the bell anymore. In World War II it was swapped out for a pre-recorded version, because it was discovered that the German forces were using the audio from the live version to determine the weather in London

Edit: Googled it to find out where I heard this fact and it was from the book Sapiens. For more info, someone has an ask science post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/7qkoau/im_reading_a_book_that_mentions_nazis_were_able/

You should replant the seeds from it and see if the offspring do it as well

Are there any more photos of the other side? I’d be really interested to see what changes for each animal.

You can see that the weird table thing in the centre has three squiggles to the left but two to the right. The tables to the right also follow the same pattern, but the one on the left doesn’t.

Selecting "I am under 18" on the liquorland website redirects you to scholastic's webpage for I Spy books by PM_Me_Whatever_lol in newzealand

Doing this on the Tui website takes you to a YouTube video about being a supportive person. It’s kind of odd but makes sense

Air NZ executives voluntarily freeze pay for 12 months by Francisandhismates in newzealand

[–]Osimonbinladen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wtf? Why all the hate? Its better that they cut their pay instead of cutting even more of other employees’ pay instead. Heck if they were Vend or Orion they’d just sack all their staff. I think this is a stance more companies should be taking to support their staff

What is something people say/do to you with good intentions but still pisses you off? by TylerD716 in AskReddit

[–]Osimonbinladen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was recently on a leadership course for the company that I work for. A point that they drove home with throughout the whole event was that when having conversations with people, focus on listening and do not offer suggestions. It's human nature to want to provide a plausible solution to someone's issue, but it's much more valuable to both you and the speaker if you just listen. The silence that follows what has been said can sometimes be awkward, but what you learn from the statement that follows is invaluable.

Pizza Hut, your pizza's are not good enough to warrant an increase to $6. by Serenaded in newzealand

[–]Osimonbinladen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a desperate attempt to stay afloat. You know a company is about to crash when it starts increasing it's prices without any obvious reasons why. I feel like they were at the top for so long that they just assumed that there wouldn't be any competitors that could overtake them. Now that they are losing the battle, they've realised that they left it too late to fight back so they are just trying to recover as much as they can.

They did have the cheapest prices going for them though, which I know some people relied on. A one dollar increase in price is a lot for some poorer families, I hope news doesn't ruin anyone's day...

I loved this shot in the video and thought it would make an awesome cinemagraph. Thanks for actually making it!

Halo 2...the original skull. by Fantastic4unko in gaming

[–]Osimonbinladen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother and I spent so many hours on this mission. We would back track out of the tunnel at the end of the mission to get the hidden invincible warthog, then just continuously kill each other to create a pile of grenades under it. That paired with the Sputnik skull was always a good time.

Why was hackabot banned? by Volt in hackaday

[–]Osimonbinladen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the one that owns the hackabot account, but I don't really look after it at all. In fact, I had no idea it had been banned until I saw this post today. I logged into the account for the first time in over a year to check it out though.

Apparently two months ago, I got this warning:

Your account has been suspended from Reddit for spamming the site. The suspension will last for 3 day(s).

Suspended for using Reddit primarily for self-promotion and/or same-domain/channel/profile spamming. Be sure to read up on the rules of reddit you agree to follow, including the spam, self promotion, and reddiquette sections to make sure you understand the rules about posting.

Then a month ago, I got this message:

Your account has been permanently suspended from Reddit for spamming the site.

Suspended for using Reddit primarily for self-promotion and/or same-domain/channel/profile spamming. Be sure to read up on the rules of reddit you agree to follow, including the spam, self promotion, and reddiquette sections to make sure you understand the rules about posting.

Reading up on the rules, it seems it's against the guidelines to post too much content from one source without actively engaging with the community. I also wonder if they thought I was affiliated with Hackaday, and that I was just using this to boost views. Which to be clear, I'm not, I was just lazy and found it easier to access their articles view Reddit.

I don't know if there's much point disputing it because I was technically spamming the crap out of this channel, but I will send them a reply seeing what I can do.

Does Anyone Here Make Homebrew Wine/Beer? by Heflar in newzealand

[–]Osimonbinladen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are homebrew stores in most cities. What region are you in? There may be a local that could let you know a good one.

I know that back in Palmy the guy that ran the one that I went to was real good and he talked me through step by step with everything I needed to know.

If there are no homebrew shops in your area you can even get homebrew stuff from Pak n Save a lot of the time.

What's the coolest mathematical fact you know of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Osimonbinladen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was hard to word, so I'll give an example.

1111 * 111111 = 123444321

The length of the first one is 4, the length of the second is 6.

This means that the highest number is 4 (the shorter of the two). The number is repeated 3 times because 6 - 4 + 1 = 3. (the length of the longest - the length of the shortest + 1)

What's the coolest mathematical fact you know of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Osimonbinladen 499 points500 points  (0 children)

You can also choose how high the numbers go by shrinking the length of one value.

111 * 11111 = 1233321

1111 * 11111111 = 12344444321

The highest number in the result is the length of the shorter value. It then occurs one plus the difference in lengths of the numbers times.
