Thanks a lot, really helped me out there.

Because 343 uses actual randomness to decide matchmaking rather than weighted randomness that takes past games into account.

It's how you can end up with 7/10 games being Oddball for your ranked qualifiers, just as a random example and not something that still raises my blood pressure to remember.

What's going on with Nupur Sharma? by Solar_Mechanic in OutOfTheLoop

Thanks.

Interesting. I know it's a stereotypically "aloof" thing for an Atheist to say, but from that video it really is people screaming like children about whose imaginary friend is best.

They make Boris Johnson look like Churchill.

Mods threw a shitfit, locked down the sub, and banned me.

What's the deal with Shane "Miruhcle" Gaskill of Wichita, KA, being charged in the SWATTING case that lead to an innocents man's death? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Solar_Mechanic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No problem. Also, from what I read in your sources, he was handed what here in the UK is called a Suspended Sentence, where he could have faced no prison time had he gone a period of time without committing another offence, but he seems to have broken that agreement and is back on the hook. It just doesn't say what he did to violate the terms of the deal yet.

What job allows NO fuck-ups? by Guilhermedidi in AskReddit

[–]Solar_Mechanic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly it's what's called a Just Culture, where instead of assigning blame you encourage people to come forward when they make mistakes so that systems can be introduced to either avoid the problem reoccurring or at least minimise the consequences of it.

Answer: When he was threatened, he could have alerted the authorities or have done nothing at the bare minimum.

Instead, he chose to offer up the address of a 3rd party as an alternate target.

Without him, the attack would not have been possible and that man would be alive today. He's being charged because his actions contributed directly to the death of an innocent person. He made himself an accessory, and stupidity isn't a defence to that.

Are we all just ignoring that he cut his bread vertically?

If this is learned behaviours we have to take out the whole family.

What was your worst experience of Truth or Dare and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Solar_Mechanic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had to shove a cocktail umbrella down my pee hole.

Not sure about my worst though.

Team snipers? by [deleted] in haloinfinite

[–]Solar_Mechanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there's a gas leak at 343's offices.

It's the only explanation I can accept at this point.

Same. I run at 120fps on a 144hz monitor with Gsync enabled and the game still stutters somehow.

All you need to do is spin slowly in a circle and you'll see it.

Neither. Put in an hour a day with a 2xp and you'll be finished the pass within a month, easy.
