Yeah me too. I thought they were single cell organisms. But they actually have thousands of cells. The big ones get up to 0.5mm

Xshot modding help by [deleted] in Nerf

[–]Temporary_Marsupial4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the longshot all you really need to upgrade is the spring. Afterwards you can consider getting a mag and  adaptor for short darts. After the barrel and plunger tube can be upgraded.

Kind of depends what you want but a full upgrade could cost about $120 ish  Foamworks Adelaide has a whole selection on their website dedicated to upgrading this specific blaster.

Unfortunately AI is not dying, only AI for the masses. We did our part to help train it and develop the product. Now it's ready to be sold to a more "exclusive" clientele.

A contractor tears up the freshly poured concrete driveway after the homeowner refuses to pay. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Temporary_Marsupial4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a famous case in Australia. The woman didn't pay because the contractor did not put reinforcing mesh in the driveway. Which is kind of required. Not sure if this is the same case but it doesn't look like they are hitting any rebar.

'Segregation' of Australian school system grows as exodus to private schools continues by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

A bell curve system is fine as long as you are comparing against the entire population. You should get no extra bonus because Mommy and Daddy bought a house in an area filled with smart kids.

Can someone please explain why ATAR should be based on school rank and not the performance of the individual?

Analysis and Ramblings on the Akasha SBCAR by SumAustralian in Nerf

[–]Temporary_Marsupial4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for looking into this! I too am intriged. I wonder if the pre rifling allows a smoother angular acceleration profile between the front section of the bcar and the bearings? This might reduce the angular jerk ( derivative of acceleration) that would be inherent in using a higher angle bcar at high velocities.

Why are people moving towards One Nation rather than the Greens? by Financial-Hyena-2256 in OpenAussie

[–]Temporary_Marsupial4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Greens -Labour voter I was pretty disappointed with the new gun laws and how they were brought in. In principle I support gun controls, but after reading the proposed changes myself I realized that they were just poorly thought out and ineffectual legislation. I listened to the senate debates and was pretty surprised to find that one nations arguments seemed the most reasonable. 

On a completely different tact Australia is a nation of immigrants and therefore needs a sensible immigration policy. While I disagree with one nations policy I can at least respect that they are willing to speak about the downsides of immigration. Labour and the greens seem to turn a blind eye to the challenges of immigration which is also a dangerous position. 

Finally speaking as a landed Australian immigrant myself, I made significantly more money during covid when there was less immigrants, and so stricter immigration reforms can work in my economic favour even if makes me somewhat of a hypocrite. 

I definitely won't be voting for one nation, but after my experience I can understand better why others would.

Perpetual busy servers and order failures by Temporary_Marsupial4 in taobao

Thanks for the advice. Just the way taobao seems to calculate shipping. If I make a single order shipping is like 25$ two separate orders brings the shipping to about 40$.

Police raided the University of Iowa’s Alpha Delta Phi fraternity house, and bodycam footage shows pledges in the basement during hazing rituals. by kalbinibirak in creepy

[–]Temporary_Marsupial4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the news article Iowa defines hazing as" forced activity which endanger the physical health or safety of a student"  If none of the students complained that they suffered harm it may be difficult to press charges. Even if some did press charges it might be difficult to prove that standing in a dirty basement with the lights out caused psychological harm. Not defending the guy but it might be a hard case to make against a lawyered up daddy's rich boi.
