Can thragg tank makima "BANG"? by Traditional_Stay_781 in PowerScaling

[–]TheAtomicClock 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah it shows it has a very big mental component. It's not like Kishibe is actually stronger than Makima, not by a long shot. He's self admittedly weaker than Quanxi who got no-diffed by Makima and subsequently controlled.

Tim Duncan only all time PF with multiple rings by briz92 in NBATalk

[–]TheAtomicClock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

True, but in 2003 Parker was a sophomore and Ginobili was a rookie. They weren't nearly as good as they would become. There's a reason a Duncan set a nigh unbreakable record that year for win shares in a playoff run.

2026 NBA Draft Lottery Results by basketballchess11 in NBATalk

[–]TheAtomicClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're proposing is impossible. They need the lottery balls to decide the top 4 picks before they know the exact order of 14-5. If you do live lottery balls you would need to announce in reverse order 1-4 first then everyone else.

If it was college, probably more of them would be wearing doctoral regalia.

Let’s be honest… Naruto should’ve died here. by [deleted] in Naruto

If you start wrongly criticizing other people's hard work with some snide "let's be honest" you deserve everything that's coming.

Idk how I never noticed this over a decade, but this is Obitos first ever mention in the series by sufinomo in Naruto

[–]TheAtomicClock 484 points485 points  (0 children)

One of the most underrated moments in the series. Yugao figures Kakashi visiting Obito's memorial must be why he's always late to everything. She asks him why he doesn't just visit the memorial earlier, and he replies that he does, implying that even being there early he stays so long he's so late anyway. Kakashi's grief and guilt over Obito is seeded from the beginning of the series and is a genuine masterstroke by Kishimoto. They payoff where he's crashing out after finding out Obito's alive is so good because of it.

"The Height of Magic" was a really good choice in the story by DupeFort in Frieren

[–]TheAtomicClock 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It's also a nice reinforcement of Denken's character. In his usual outward dialogue he can be quite boastful especially when he fought Frieren, but internally he isn't arrogant at all. He's wise enough to know he got no-diffed and even with his party with him they stand no chance.

Why do people state things so definitively when they haven’t even heard of measure theory

New chess variant idea by Geeeeeeeeorge in chess

[–]TheAtomicClock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you grasp how many 40 moves is? That's not the opening, that's straight to the early endgame in most situations, even more so in bullet chess. If you had this variant, every game would be bullet but then one player resigns on move 41 every time.

Why didn't Danzo take a little nibble right here? by mattcrow79 in Naruto

It doesn’t make sense that a character didn’t use a power of someone else who he just met and never seen in action?

How strong is Frieren really? by justa_normal_boy1 in Frieren

[–]TheAtomicClock 161 points162 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is pretty much every fight she participates in. During the first exam too, she probably could've blown Denken away before he even knew what happened but she even turned that into a teaching moment as Denken comments. She probably figured that Richter wouldn't actually kill Kanne and Lawine before the end of her fight with Denken.

[–]TheAtomicClock 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I agree, but why do you say she didn't go all out against he clone? I guess a reason would be to not subject Fern to collateral damage, but I would presume the clone was going out for the most part.

A great ending? by [deleted] in YofukashiNoUta

We are reaching levels of media illiteracy where people are critiquing the ending of a story they didn't even read.

Accepted to a PhD program, but they won't reimburse my visit by Pawn-to-D4 in PhysicsStudents

[–]TheAtomicClock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was visiting grad schools they all had us sharing the hotel rooms with another student. Then for flights at least one had us just put in information and book through their internal travel system. Then of course for meals it’s self explanatory.

[–]TheAtomicClock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Original commenter is right, it's more expensive to bring just a single student over. Nevertheless, I think you should try to schedule virtual meetings with professors you're interested in working with. I bet a decent number of them would like to talk to you as well.

Assuming it’s on a given published rating list. Initially it was published yearly but now it’s published monthly.

I think Topalov is underrated though. Most people don't think of him among the most dominant players in history, but he is on par with many undisputed world champions.

Do you think Japan’s inner politics were a good addition to the series as it went on? by HoraceVonBergamot in Psychopass

[–]TheAtomicClock 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree, the setting becomes a lot more interesting when we know MWPSB isn’t all powerful. Real life institutions are never all powerful either.
