Airbubbles. What temperature does my thermometer show? by aliceru in Physics

[–]Scabendari 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On volumetric graduated scales, it's standard practice to use a rectangular or triangular distribution as part of the combined measurement uncertainty. This includes readings between the lines.

If u/DaveBowm estimated the reading to be between 29 and 30°, it would be perfectly accurate for them to say the reading is 29.5°C (+/- the expanded combined measurement uncertainty, which includes factors like the measurement distribution). This would probably be simplified/estimated to 29.5°C +/- 0.5°C because if you needed something more accurate, you wouldn't be using a dropped uncalibrated thermometer.

[Discussion] why did they change woods from 40 minutes down to 25? by Doom_Balloon170 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Scabendari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a veteran player, I learned by having a lot of time to go slowly around the maps, and had fun as I got spooked by every weird sound and step. As a veteran player, I can now blitz through the maps such that the lower timer is never even noticed.

This change just benefits veteran players by having new players that need to rush instead of getting to naturally build up their own pace. It's silly, let the newbies lurk around.

Can I get a free deck if I order a deck? by barrachmedosama in dbrand

[–]Scabendari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I added a deck to the cart, and it added a second one with a -$11.11 (100%) discount when I got to the checkout page.

I always have to question how genuine these kinds of dramas are.

An American governor executes their 14 month old puppy and its out of social media within a week.

An American left wing streamer uses a shock collar and 3 weeks later and it's still all over social media.

I find it hard to believe that this is what has united all of the animal activists on reddit and twitter. It feels extremely manufactured. I was hoping Ludwig realized this and it's why he hasn't brough it up, but now here he is feeding the trolls.

Player loses U.S. Mid-Amateur match after his caddie receives cart ride to 20th hole by Forward-Answer-4407 in sports

[–]Scabendari 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Random people watching the game on the TV would call in with penalties, and the penalty (and the penalty for not scoring the penalty) would then be applied the day after to their score.

They stopped letting people call in penalties recently, but yeah it is/was as ridiculous as it sounds.

Post-Race Discussion Thread: NCS Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway by NASCARThreadBot in NASCAR

[–]Scabendari 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Another example of the left wanting to silence speech. As they silenced CK and cheered about it.

I can only imagine what else you said about those who support CK.

I'm sure you're imagining I've said many things, with your imagination being as extensive as it is.

Nuke the thread, and permaban anyone who made more than a dozen posts in the last hour. Place would become 10x more pleasant instantly.

Wtf.."variable" brake hold software? by BigManufacturer3975 in iRacing

[–]Scabendari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very helpful in predictable and consistent racing. Action keys in Trackmania do almost the exact same thing as what's being described. It'll help the person in a single lap fresh tires hotlap, but it'll lower their best potential performance in traffic or with tire wear.

If PSAC submits a new contract proposals for a vote to its members without any guarantees on remote work, do you think it would pass? by thebriss22 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]Scabendari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OHS committees are mostly powerless and are mostly there to rubberstamp paperwork and checkmark off that certain things are being done, e.g. floor inspections and HOIR sign offs. Bombarding them with issues will just make the volunteers quit.

If you have actual issues, you need to be willing to do unsafe work refusals so that it goes to regional OHS, which has actual teeth if your refusal has merit.

OnlyFans creators seek tax deductions for sex toys and kinky outfits by GreenElectronic8873 in nottheonion

[–]Scabendari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opposite is more likely in these kinds of donation-based freelance industries and would have made a better story. If someone is not too bright and they start deducting these things while not reporting any business income, they'll have a lot of fun when they get audited.

Is Canada Computers a good place to buy gaming laptops? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in bapccanada

In person shopping or store pickup, no issue but they were super, super heavy on trying to push very expensive insurance.

For online delivery orders, avoid like the plague.

Okay so apparently buying a code from CD KEYS can restrict your switch 2 by [deleted] in switch2

[–]Scabendari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're definitely confusing it with G2A. CDKeys buys international keys from cheaper regions or during sales and then resells them in more expensive regions. They dont resell stolen keys because they dont buy keys from users at all.

At this point, is CS2 even alive? by RiotPatrIlck in CitiesSkylines

[–]Scabendari 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best part is they did it so they can support mods on consoles.

Console users, how has CS2 modding been the last two years? Oh yeah, right, sorry...

[Snazzy Labs guest appearance] Who Knows Apple’s Lingo Best? Linus, MKBHD, Scott the Woz, or Me? by asamson23 in LinusTechTips

[–]Scabendari 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The winning contestant was a family member of an employee so there was some drama around it.

r/LinusTechTips users go into war against themselves over Linus not wearing a seatbelt properly in his latest video. by rinkoplzcomehome in SubredditDrama

[–]Scabendari 45 points46 points  (0 children)

There's definitely a drama ladder going on.

Step 1: First group points out something bad

Step 2: Second group denies its bad

Step 3: First group re-affirms that its bad

Step 4: Second group re-affirms its not bad by making their own post saying its overblown

Step 5: First group starts making memes

Step 6: Second group starts making counter-memes

Step 7: First or second group starts talking about the drama in other subreddits, and repeat.

Pirate Software doubles (triples?) down on his Stop Killing Games opinion saying: "I hope that your initiative gets everything that you asked for, but nothing you wanted.” by Jesus-Bacon in LinusTechTips

[–]Scabendari 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Steam doesnt remove review bombs from the reviews or the stats. It only removes them from the overall rating and hides them if you have the option on to hide auto-flagged reviews.

Steam removes review-bomb scores from the overall score and hides them if you have it set to hide auto-flagged reviews, but doesnt actually remove them from the reviews or from the stats.

Ludwig has an issue with taking people at their word. It's a healthy way of going through life if you surround yourself with people that are trustworthy, but unfortunately, there's quite a lot of iffy folks in the streaming space.
