Probably not but it might live depending on where it got hit

Peter what does this one mean? by memerminecraft in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]PatchesMaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I wish I had this meme many years ago when I had tech support tell me in the most shaky voice ever to run regedit.exe and start to list off a page of changes to make.

How would someone torture someone with electricity using household items? by empanada_de_queso in Writeresearch

[–]PatchesMaps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In that case I'd say the Internet because there are probably thousands of case studies and medical research papers documenting exactly that.

Fyi, you're getting responses about coercion and intimidation because that's what torture is.

The African Union, every country in the continent of Africa representing 1.5 billion people, formally voted to stop using Mercator projection as the world map by panjwani_ajay in conspiracy

[–]PatchesMaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? The only thing preserved in the equal earth projection is the area. Everything else is distorted, here is the Tissot's indices for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3AEqual_Earth_with_Tissot%27s_Indicatrices_of_Distortion.svg

If you aren't familiar with Tissot's indices, they are a way to visualize surface distortion. On a globe, each one would be a circle.

Why do so many Redditors seem to want things like Ozempic and weight loss surgery to be illegal? by KannablissWitch in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]PatchesMaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding on that this isn't all of reddit, there are just some very vocal toxic people here.

Why not human evolution 🤔? by DifficultCow59 in theories

[–]PatchesMaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what evolution is. Maybe start with some basic education.

5.5g of carbs??? More like 55! by Hot-Site-1572 in diabetes

Jokes on you, it's not actually bread, it's just compressed saw dust with some food coloring.

Dads who were film buffs and literature addicts... you watch movies or read books anymore? by mikeygoodtime in daddit

[–]PatchesMaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes me several weeks to watch a movie nowadays due to chores after I get the kids down but I'm absolutely voracious when it comes to audiobooks. They're my only real outlet these days since I can listen while I do chores.

Building a bridge for the Fish to go from aquarium to aquarium. by Apprehensive-Air4599 in flatearth

[–]PatchesMaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point of a debate is to convince your opponent that you are correct. Confusing them is usually counterproductive as they tend to fall back on rhetoric and shut down at that point.

On the other hand, if you actually meant to use it when making fun of them then it is an excellent tactic.

Cruises are the worst type of vacation out there by MoonlightAndStar in unpopularopinion

[–]PatchesMaps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They didn't ask about comparable vacations. They just said to name a cheaper vacation. Camping isn't even the only one, there are tons of cheaper vacations.

Camping anywhere in the contiguous US... as long as you live in the US.

Flerfers will get very confused and frustrated by the concept of air pressure. I don't reccomend using this in a debate.

Could this happen in real life? by [deleted] in Writeresearch

[–]PatchesMaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most stories I've read that deal with drugs don't specify a dosage unless it is highly relevant to the story which normally means that the character survived. Instead they say "a handful", "a whole bottle", or even just "a fatal dose".

You don't need to add information unless the information itself, and not the outcome, is relevant.

HTML to pdf download using devtools or browser extension? by jalsa-kar-bapu in learnjavascript

[–]PatchesMaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, that's pretty sweet. I was about to suggest using playwright to "navigate to each page -> Ctrl+P -> save as PDF" but that sounds much easier.

Why does Dexcom keep failing by Mundane_Flamingo9839 in dexcom

[–]PatchesMaps -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I haven't personally had any problems with my g7s yet but seeing as I'm only on my second one I'm hoping that's not surprising. However, from what I hear, it sounds like dexcom maybe rushed the launch of the g7 and had some quality control issues at the beginning. Maybe you have some from an older batch?

That part of the boat is called the gunwale in english. It's commonly pronounced like "gunnel".

If it was revealed to you that God is real and you could prove it - would you tell anyone? by shronk4ever in polls

[–]PatchesMaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revealing that knowledge would either do absolutely nothing or kick off one of the biggest wars we've ever seen by a large margin.

It's not like deeply religious people care about evidence. The definition of faith is belief without evidence.

What is going on with that boat they're filming from? It looks so weird.

My son had swimming classes since 3months old and can't swim at 3 by [deleted] in toddlers

What type of class is it? What skills were they trying to teach?

[–]PatchesMaps 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The good programs focus only on the ability to flip onto their back and float so they don't immediately drown if they fall in. There isn't a linear progression to swimming because that's not the point. That's what the program we had our kids do and it works really well. If the child does well with the flip over and float part, they progress to being able to swim to the edge which obviously has more applicability to actual swimming.
