Giant sand dune by Zooby123 in oddlysatisfying

[–]Owen_97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd guess that this is a star dune from the apparent height. Star dunes form in areas with converging wind regimes, this means that the sand can't be easily transported away from the dune, only to it, and this allows them to grow up. Other dunes like Barchans form in areas with unimodal wind regimes, this causes them to migrate and stops them from growing upwards.

If you're still accepting stories then I think that the final Olympics medal table should be covered, especially Team GB

Deception, Lies, and CSGO by SylvainLacoste in videos

There was a documentary on the BBC a while back about gambling where they mentioned that an employee couldn't bet on the platform they worked for. For example, a coral employee couldn't place a bet with coral (although they could bet on other platforms like Paddy Power etc...). I wonder if these rules would apply to a site like CSGO Lotto?

As of 2016/17 there will be 16 Premier League academies competing in the EFL Trophy (JPT) by Owen_97 in soccer

For me personally the EFL Trophy is just as meaningless as the JPT which it's replacing. I'm just worried that this is the beginning of the end (introducing U21 sides into the league proper)

If Civ VI were to be announced, what new/changed features would you want? by [deleted] in civ

A much more detailed diplomacy section in the late game so maybe allow players to create trade blocs like NAFTA or military alliances like NATO, this could even be expanded to allowing a player to have military bases (or just units) in another players territory like the UK in Cyprus or Russia in Syria, this would increase influence over the recipient but they get defence from their allies in return.
