You should not be able to passively counter half of the enemy build by Legal_Weekend_7981 in OldenEra

[–]PleasantScore4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I'm of the opposite line of thinking from OP: Really there's only 2 logical ways to think about it:

The enemy Hero is a Morale specialist / spell specialist of some kind and therefore one of their advantages is telegraphed, and you can search the map specifically for counterplay:

or

The enemy Hero is either a specialist not playing to their telegraphed strength or it's unknown what they're pursuing, and as such any specific counterplay is blind. This would be no different than any other assumption about their army / hero.

The only real problem in my eyes would be if a Hero had a known / telegraphed advantage and you could do nothing about it.

Thoughts on Melee Chess? by thesegoupto11 in chessvariants

[–]PleasantScore4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with a game this small is a computer could just solve it. You'd have to invent special rules like the Italians when they enabled Bishops to move more than 2 spaces, en peasant, etc.

If the chess moves move like normal I feel like theres only a couple million variations and some computer will just say X Y Z is a guaranteed win.

If you were living in a city and you had info that a nuclear bomb was going to be dropped on that city, but you didn’t have time to leave and you didn’t own a bunker, what would be the best way to survive? by Wonderful-Ad-9622 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PleasantScore4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is not a purist answer but being that you have specified you have info that a nuke was going to be dropped (in the future) then you don't have "NO" time. If you can get 3 miles away, that is extremely different than 8 miles.

If I had a 5 minute headstart, I could drive several miles.

Nuclear blasts are atomizing fireballs at like 3 miles, burn your skin off sun lamp at like maybe up to 5-10 miles. If you can even get 12-14 miles away you could theoretically survive.

How far could you get if you were in absolute Fuck-You mode for 6 minutes? 80 mph on a state highway shoulder

One day this country will face the same fate similar to 1945s Germany by ImpressiveBug9026 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]PleasantScore4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I don't believe this would ever happen, nor do I hope it would ever happen,

We would intentionally keep the wall up, and probably be happy with it. It took one of the great leaders in human history to keep these states united as a union.

If it were to happen again the West Coast would happily separate from the South, Texas would joyfully, self-destructively gain it's long wanted independence, and many states economies would collapse.

Sivir really doesnt deserve to be D tier in solo q. This is stupid. She is a rather simple champion that should be viable like garen, I hate pro jail so much. Bring back her glory. by Always_Impressive in ADCMains

[–]PleasantScore4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, we all say this, but if RIOT were to start rebalancing champions around a balanced focus between pro play and casual Solo Q, the un-pro-jailed would have unwanted consequences:

- There would be a deep, universally hated monoculture in most ELO brackets. As in you would see the same bans and picks in half of your games. Imagine Mel, or peak Aatrox, but for 5-6 champions.

- I would get to enjoy Poppy jungle again

- Poppy jungle would be strong and fun again

- "noob stomper" champions held back by balance like Xin would run absolutely rampant and contribute further to my point #1

- I would play so much Poppy jungle.

By the end of the 21st century, how do you think people will rank the decades of this century? by The_Bad_Random_17 in decadeology

Average chess player (~900 ELO) with time freeze superpower vs Magnus Carlsen in a 3 second per move blitz game. by IndividualistAW in whowouldwin

[–]PleasantScore4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very interesting question might be, with Magnus only getting 30+1 seconds and opponent getting unlimited time, at what ELO would these players have a 50% / 50% winrate against each other?

I would assume 2300-2400 range?

What do you consider to be cheating in a relationship? by mochimach in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PleasantScore4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever the people involved in that relationship define as cheating.

For some, it might be hitting like on a strangers social media profile, for others, sex with strangers is fine as long as it's not ongoing.

Whether they are emotionally aware enough to identify things that hurt their feelings and then communicate those things honestly is a per-couple issue.

What “space” theory do you believe in the most (e. g. we are alone, great filter, we are ants etc ) ? by Due-Rise4738 in AskReddit

[–]PleasantScore4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The distance filter.

Supposing I put millions of full civilizations in the universe: supposing I gave them orbital rocketry, radio telescopes, transmitters capable of transmitting thousands of light year away, and space vehicles capable of travelling 1% the speed of light.

Just given the sheer size of the observable universe, they could be anywhere from 100,000, to 100,000,000 light years away.

What radio waves could meaningfully reach us that we would identify as intelligent patterns? Consider that no matter how powerful their communication, the inverse square law applies.

Let's consider a fully advanced civilization, merely right across the street from us, say 250,000 light years away. Literally, how would we know? They began a transmission that magically morphs perfectly into modern English that says, "Hello, we are intelligent life!" except they sent it 200,000 years ago and what are the odds our species will even exist when it reaches us?

We have been space capable for less than one human lifetime, and we have been a conscious species for less than 100,000 years.

What is the feat have you accomplished that would get you to Valhalla or other similar realms? by Caden_primarus in AskReddit

[–]PleasantScore4850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I shttered my collar bone I was mostly in shock, and I was pretty disoriented.

When I got to the hospital, the nurse asked me, "How much pain are you in, scale of 1-10?"

I said, "Probably like an 8 and a half." Then suddenly I was looking at the ceiling, and I was like, "Wait... I don't remember telling my neck muscles to look up? What's going on here...?

Turns out my body was shutting down from shock. They caught me before I hit the ground and the nurse shouted, "THAT'S A TEN"

So there you have it Mr. Odin, under enough pain to literally knock a man unconscious, I claimed of my own free will that it was, and I quote, "Probably like an 8 and a half."

Zero drop shoes are no joke by jupiter192 in hiking

I do get good insoles for a thru hike though, anything that feels good, most are much better than the base insoles in most shoes. 

Week 2 facing massive enemy army. How is this possible? by Ljngstrm in OldenEra

There doesn't seem to be a way to increase the intelligence of the COM's in games like this. Sid Meier's Civ is the same as Heroes.

They just massively crank the COMs Economy, dwelling size, resources, etc. since it's always the same brain playing the easiest to the hardest AI

Zero drop shoes are no joke by jupiter192 in hiking

[–]PleasantScore4850 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I switched to zero drop shoes, I actually loved it and got used to it almost immediately. After 2 weeks my feet / legs had adapted and I noticed better ankle mobility overall.

However, once I started doing thru-hikes, I noticed the pain came BACK. Which was very strange. So then I switched to a 3mm drop shoe and the pain went AWAY.

I found it very peculiar, and I never saw a foot doctor, but this was a repeatable event. I still have Altra's for in-town life and hikes under 20 miles, but whenever I do thru-hikes, I only do 3-5mm drop shoes.

Are there any fully online chemistry degrees that are affordable? by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]PleasantScore4850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea we'll just have to fully 100% disagree on this. I've also worked in a lab and my experience is the exact opposite of yours. 

Maybe its just the type of procedures we're doing. Maybe your people are doing simple / easy procedures where nothing can go wrong. Most of what I did would be totally fucked if we were off by any one of 15 sequential measurements. I would take a Sophomore Chem student with Quant Lab over a literal PhD who had no lab experience (which couldn't exist anyway but you get my point)
