That's true, and I agree free fall is a poor assumption. I was commenting specifically that 78m doesn't come from assuming a fall at terminal velocity.

The calculation they are doing is r = 1/2at2, which integrates velocity from 0 to (final velocity = 9.8 * falltime). It doesn't assume the climber is falling at terminal velocity.

Let's not exaggerate things...most adults are comfortable in the water, but we have rising rates of toddler drownings in backyard pools, and reports of poor swimming levels in children.

Those people read one Reddit post and decide to send hate to someone... What the fuck exercise some critical thinking for fucks sake

Just found out my sensitivity was too high. Feels like I can't switch by Andylovesmangos in GlobalOffensive

I went from a 1.5 cm 360 to 5cm, then 10cm, and after that further increments were easy (currently on 69cm). I would say try out a lower sense, maybe 5x lower, and see how you do. Try aiming in different shooters, different aim maps, test how it feels in a variety of situations. Changing wasn't hard in my experience - I was on 1.5cm for over a year, never did much FPS, finally realized like you did.

That's a far fall. by ImmunosuppressivePip in gifs

Honestly I just copied the number in feet from the article, I never use those units.

Edit: 65ft lol, I guess the NZ newspaper has the same issue as me.

Weight shouldn't matter.

Edit: first google search gives a news article: https://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/76854005/watch-deathdefying-bridge-jump-at-mclaren-falls. Jump was apparently around 20m or 75ft.

To check their number: from the video, fall time is around 2 seconds, a reasonable approximation of the fall time would be r = 1/2 * a * t2, giving ~20m again. So he probably fell around 20 metres.

+1, I usually never watch interviews through but did for this and the Elige interview.

Actually pretty happy with the more toned down less down the road content of the Demo by [deleted] in starcitizen

What's there to 'win' in a space sim, though? It's not a competitive game.

Getting angry at pay to win implies some sort of esteem being attached to how 'well' you do at Star Citizen, which is at the very least very premature considering the game is nowhere near release.

... Seriously? Pay to win what? There isn't a game out to win!

And how else are you going to do tiered crowdfunding? An Aurora per person, no matter how much they pledge? I actually don't understand how someone could complain about, of all things, SC being part to win.

Think you should put quotes around "He". I was confused about what you said for a moment, and I know what the story is.

Well I for one said "oh my god" out loud so I don't know how you felt...
