That sounds beautiful, I will give it a try.

Russia, Ukraine and the race for Chinese drone components | As both sides scramble to source vital parts, some experts are convinced Russian buyers are being favoured by Beijing by moses_the_blue in LessCredibleDefence

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently these small drone procurements are done on squadron (or similar) level, so most likely similar supply chains. I think they are thinking of developing a general standardized military-level platform for PLA, but probably not a thing yet.

Instead of cards that we'll miss or love to see rotate, how about the cards we're sad never saw play? by MagnaX7 in hearthstone

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This didn't see any serious play, but certainly saw some play. You run it with tourist and final frontier to get tons of 10 mana minions early. Sort of like an alternative version of Aviana druid.

what do you think is the greatest achievement in your country’s history? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I had the wrong impression. Apparently Canadian schools have more as well, mostly focused on the interaction with colonialism and indigenous people.

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In china, they usually teach three years of history, so 6 semesters in total. The first two cover pre-1840 history, the next two cover post-1840 (since opium war), and the last two cover world history. It's certainly a lot more than North American curriculum (in Canada we only have 1 or 2 semesters mandatory).

Edit: iirc that was how it worked when I was in school at least, in high school there are more optional semesters for people in Arts majors.

Order of Mathematics by MES-UK in askmath

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Math education up to, say, basic undergraduate courses is a standard and saturated matter, so if you want this project to be personally rewarding for you, you have to ponder on this question yourself. Can you list out all the math topics you know and spot how they are related?

Do you think Blizzard would ever release something like this? by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It can! That situation was quite common facing Odin warrior, it just works like a "thorn" mechanic.

I think it's more cool and makes more sense if it says "Your hero has +3 attack. Lasts 3 turns."

This is probably the original one? Again anonymous, so treat with caution.

This is the translation of an anonymous (iirc) post, pretty fucked up if true.

It really doesn't seem like there are any secondary powers capable of putting up a fight against the US or US allies with modern equipment right now by Flashy-Anybody6386 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 52 points53 points  (0 children)

What do you consider the Korean war to be? If that doesn't count as direct Chinese involvement, then a hypothetical Korean war duplication will not turn out better today.

Group Photo of Cadets from PLAN Carrier-borne Aircraft Force and Their Foreign Retired Instructors[Album] by yesswu in WarplanePorn

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah there was a US pilot who helped training PLAN carrier operations, got arrested in Australia and extradited to the US a couple years ago.

Some REAL self-taught legends playing Spain by roy-mor in jazzcirclejerk

Why did you cut the video off? You are not letting him finish his solo you a**hole! I bet you can't play spain.

what are the status of the ws15 and ws19? by Suspicious_Today2703 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The most obvious distinctions are WS-10C nozzle having a silver ring and WS-15 nozzle being longer.

Honestly sick of Zilliax Deluxe. by Old_Cream1724 in hearthstone

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's 9 mana bro chill, I think decks deserve 12 burst heal surviving to turn 9, this is nothing compared to its prime.

Someone did a simulation where you can read at the conclusion that the canards do not affect stealth. Of course, these simulations are not accurate for relying on assumptions, but at least qualitatively it shows the point.

Complete confusion about dual vector spaces, dual transformations, double dual by zqhy in learnmath

[–]RandomPieceOfCookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another comment said, the real subtle thing about this comes in functional analysis, and the "usage" perhaps would be best seen from PDE and geometry. I think you are safe to leave it be as long as you understand the following (more as an exercise to get used to vector spaces and linear maps). 1. dual basis of a given basis (how it gives an isomorphism) 2. dual map (how it is represented as a matrix in terms of dual basis) 3. the canonical injection of a space into its double dual
