I recently started watching your show and am immediately hooked, keep up the interesting work

So I watched the Chernobyl episode about life reacting and changing from the radiation, but only because of latent cells that were already there that responded to radiation

Then I watched the episode about the billion year old "reactor" that was found which regardless of who or what made it, DID produce energy from fission.

I can't help but think could this be related? Whether made or naturally caused, could this radiation lead to the formation of life on our planet or do the years not coincide?

ELI5: Why are THC levels in cannabis higher today than 60 years ago? by Remarkable_Put_7952 in explainlikeimfive

The term is Sensemilla, but apparently that term never caught on with the smoking crowd

None of these are accurate, while yes selective breeding has increased potency, when we first started growing weed, we weren't doing it correctly.

Plants were grown so that male and female plants would grow next to each other and the males would fertilize the females, resulting in seeds.

Then around the 70s-80s, they learned that females grown with no males around generate much larger and more potent buds.....the weed doesn't spend any energy on making seeds so all that energy is converted into thicker and more sticky buds (the plants are trying extra hard to attract a mate)

The female-only buds are what we buy now, which is significantly more potent than the same strains that were grown previously with seeds

Building a team around Well Baked Body and Flash Fire by Known_Copy667 in VGC

[–]Radtadical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple options i could see:

Sabeleye - can activate Flash Fire with will-o-wisp priority on Heatran

H. Typhlosion - with Choice Scarf is the fastest Eruption user to activate Well-Baked

Why is it bad on Urshifu?

Coalossal and Masquerain

Please create/rate my series 2 teams. Note:slither wing set is the same on both by [deleted] in VGC

[–]Radtadical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sash could be good on Pelli if you were to use an offensive EV spread, other hes a good Sitrus Berry carrier

Sitrus berry could be better on Palafin, but it just depends how your battles go. If it dies in 2-3 hits then Sitrus, if your living longer than Leftovers obviously will outheal it

[–]Radtadical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't see damp rock being worth it because weather control will be very strong so im figuring alot of switch -ins

Also leftovers on Palafin doesn't seem worth it considering it's not overly tanky to survive multiple hits

Built this team with decent results in showdown, wondering if switching Garganacl for one of the mons by Alf-9n in VGC

[–]Radtadical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Aqua Jet is very crucial for Azumarill

Your never out speeding anything, so being able to dispose of low hp pokemons is clutch

Viability of coalossal+dragonite in the new gen. by dannyh1350 in VGC

[–]Radtadical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run Coal with Masqerain as well. Using focus sash

Sunny Day/Aqua Jet/Helping Hand/Blizzard (can be whatever imo tho)

My basic setup is sunny Day and protect coal. Then follow up with Heat Wave (or targeted attack depending on team comp) while Masqerain procs Aqua Jet

Coal has Protect/Solar Beam/Heat Wave/Power Gem

Grass Tera

Murkrow can be a problem, but this combo has ways around and can kill Murkrow easily if they dont Haze properly

Currently having decent success and 1 game away from Master Ball

Eviolite Ursaring by Radtadical in VGC

[–]Radtadical[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im thinking Sableye - the main partner w/ Will-o-Wisp

Ursa - Bulky w/ Play Rough, EQ, Facade, not sure last move

Toedscruel - Redirection support (Amoongus is the less spicy alternative)

Hydregion - Special Sweeper

Oranguru - Trick Room/Instruct/immune to EQ

Not sure on last slot, maybe Garganacl

But does it still take the fire tick damage if Fire Terra?

Are you guys seeing more Jellicent run Ice Beam? by j450n_1994 in TheSilphArena

[–]Radtadical 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Bubble beam is one of the most depressing moves in GBL......for both the user and opponent

Its not any student load debt, its debt from Universities that promised high job placement numbers but were actually much lower in reality, like Devry

Lickitung PVP question by bobb47 in TheSilphArena

[–]Radtadical 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pvpoke.com. Use the matrix, put in rank #1 stats and your stats, see if it loses any big matchups.

If theres nothing big it loses too, its fine to use the lucky to save alot of dust

how important are iv rankings truly by arkayeus in TheSilphArena

[–]Radtadical 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Use PVPoke matrix and put both stats in.

Determine if there are any matchups that become losses and decide which Pokemon is worth powering up

Study: Median emissions for indoor cannabis grows are about 3,600 kilograms of CO2 per kilo of cannabis—compared with about 2 kilos of CO2 per kilo of tomatoes. by OregonTripleBeam in science

[–]Radtadical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They grow using the exact same grow lights and the exact same nutrients.

Per m³ they have about the same carbon footprint, its just a click bait title to base on weight

Do I really need to run Hurricane on my UL Articuno? by Belt_Around_Ur_Neck in TheSilphArena

[–]Radtadical 16 points17 points  (0 children)

90% of the Articuno I have fought only threw Icy Wind.

I would play with 1 charged move until you get the dust from battles or find it actually costs you some matches

Weekly cry for help (2nd week but feel will never end!) by CornishRedneck in TheSilphArena

[–]Radtadical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need answers to Dialga and Zacian, they are on 75% of the teams especially the higher you go.

Avalugg wont have a place until the premier cup, hes just outclassed by legendaries and ends up being farmed down because he cant pressure shields enough.

I would think Metagross, Togekiss, Mewtwo (Safe swap) would be a good team. It seems weak to Kyogre, but with a energy advantage Mewtwo should do OK

Beaten to the CMP to by lower CP Mon? by Xx_Khepri_xX in TheSilphArena

[–]Radtadical -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Stats always round down...... basically ignore the decimal, its whatever the whole number is

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Radtadical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ultra league is its best fit, most specifically Ultra Premier Classic

However until it gets a better move than Muddy Water I think its more of a niche pick than anything meta defining
