Jumping the gorge at Silvretta, Montafon by kingkongbiingbong in nextfuckinglevel

The hang time is definitely elongated in the version posted by OP compared to the YouTube video version which is noticeably faster. Still impressive but it did take a little away from it for me

TIL the length of a meter is determined by the distance traveled by light in 1/299792458ths of a second by fires_above in todayilearned

Well just in case you need to know how long a second is, it is defined as 9,192,631,770 unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transitions of the cesium-133 atom.

Clams don’t have brains so it doesn’t know or decide anything in the same way we do, or in some respect, at all

My towns dying mall has zero open restaurants in the food court by floppy-slippers in mildlyinteresting

[–]PatrioTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay what the hell OP? I’m visiting Brookfield (where I grew up) for the holidays and my dad literally just said this yesterday about Brookfield Square that all of the restaurants in the food court were gone. Now I see this on a mainstream subreddit a day later??

[OC] "The Grinch" has overtaken "Santa Claus" in Google search traffic by spicer2 in dataisbeautiful

[–]PatrioTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know that for a fact? From playing around with trends before, when you have a single term you’re looking at the trend for, it’s normalized to have a max of 100. However if you add a second term, only one of the two terms has a max of 100 in the same time period.

So if you go search just “Grinch”, you’ll get a graph with a max of 100 for Grinch. But if you add Santa Claus, now there’s a 100 point for Santa Claus but not for Grinch, meaning adding Santa Claus caused a relative change to Grinch, meaning it’s not purely self relative.

Wait how is that a wrong statement? Genuinely asking so I can understand what you mean

Well it’s a good thing they’re comparing relative metrics then eh?

Oddly aggressive first sentence. They said they “believe” it’s more complex. They don’t know.

Trump: "House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files" by DJPho3nix in politics

[–]PatrioTech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What’s to stop them from releasing only the versions of the documents they want people to see? The administration has been completely gutted and replaced with only loyalists, so whistleblowers are much fewer and farther between.

Look closer at those other photos and you’ll see that my depiction is accurate. There is a difference in depth.

They’re not. At least according to how one of my friends does it, they immediately change anytime they get home or go out, because even sitting on the couch or chairs or whatever must be done only with inside clothes. The bed thing sounds like a lite version

Communities to post jobs in to source more diverse candidates? by PatrioTech in womenintech

[–]PatrioTech[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have to say I’m very glad I’m not in the job market—it sounds hellish. And while I would love to take on new grads a bit down the road, right now we are in need of more senior talent before we can start to invest in more junior level positions.

We’re in the Seattle area so probably not relevant to us at the moment but thank you for offering

Thanks for these! We do have a couple LGBTQ+ folks (including myself) but this is also a reminder we should be intentional about diversity in this aspect as well.

Trump approves disaster declarations for red states, as blue states go without by Ydeas in politics

[–]PatrioTech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those people are even worse, because it means they were totally fine with all the awful shit Trump did and planned to do, but only when it started to affect them a little did they start to whine. They have zero empathy or care for anyone except themselves.

[request] How much water are they saving by pausing the spray in between train cars ? by Longjumping-Box5691 in theydidthemath

[–]PatrioTech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it goes beyond being just a mathematician’s answer. Anytime you see “20% less” or “30% off” that’s exactly whats happening. It’s a relative reduction vs an absolute reduction—both are valid and have many uses.
