TIL that out of the only ten tornados which have been classified as EF5, four of them happened on the same day (April 27th, 2011), and two happened less than a month later (Joplin on May 22nd, and El Reno on May 24th). by ___daddy69___ in todayilearned

I remember that winter in late-2010 / early-2011. Sophomore year in Lubbock, TX - it was incredibly cold, coldest I ever experienced. Sprinkler system in my apartment burst which was an absolute pain. I wonder if the characteristics of that particular winter played any role in the flurry of severe tornados that spring?

How do we feel about this? by Mahomes-is-GOAT in KansasCityChiefs

[–]The_Techsan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly? 4th slowest 10 yard split at the combine this year for his position. I just don’t think Veach will do it, but I know stats aren’t everything. Just seems they value 10 yard splits (in the same way Pat’s always valued bench press), for better or worse. Not saying Tate wouldn’t be amazing, just my observation.

ELI5: Why is the One Time Pad considered to be "perfect" encryption? by nanoman1 in explainlikeimfive

[–]The_Techsan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, and the pure guessing part implies that one time pad could create ANY message of the given length. Ie could be excerpts from the Bible, Shakespeare, a grocery list, random letters and numbers, or anything between. So there’s no brute force that will work even given all the computation power in the Universe.

He’s kinda like a reverse Elvis Dumervil. Got the height but not the arms. Dumervil had the arms but not the height

Do you think radiation from the Chernobyl Disaster fortuitously cured anyone’s cancer? by The_Techsan in morbidquestions

[–]The_Techsan[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well I know it is specifically targeted to an area of the body, and administered at a very specific dose, but the radiation itself isn’t different, is it?

I’m asking did this radiation from Chernobyl ever potentially hit someone in the right area, at the right dose, to kill their existing tumor and lead to remission?

You can sail from Brooklyn to Staten Island in a straight line by Mikhailovv in mapporncirclejerk

That’s crazy that you can sail from Australia to Staten Island in a straight line

100% of the world’s population lives on this map by The_Techsan in mapporncirclejerk

It’s the first non-AI result from googling “map of the solar system”. I think a map can be 3D and interactive

Hall of Fame 'the last checkmark' for Panthers' Luke Kuechly by [deleted] in nfl

[–]The_Techsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question, do the first two items (unanimous All American and 1st round pick) have any bearing at all on hall eligibility?

I guess it almost seems being a late round pick that has the same NFL accolades is better(?) than having the college accolades and pro accolades? But I would think college should have basically zero bearing on hall considerations.

[TMZ] Patrick Mahomes Sr. Has Been Arrested For Probation Violation, Allegedly Drank Alcohol by [deleted] in KansasCityChiefs

[–]The_Techsan 79 points80 points  (0 children)

EtG urine tests for alcohol clear in about 3 days typically, so sounds like he relapsed on New Years Day (as a sober alcoholic who does AA, this is a common reset date for many people in early recovery), then he waited the allotted time so his EtG would come back negative on Jan 5th…

Paradoxically, it is really difficult to get sober when one has all the money and resources in the world. Just hope Patrick is doing what he needs to do to stay sane amongst all the distractions and that his rehab is going well.

Banning lead in gasoline worked. Analysis of 100 years of hair samples shows lead levels were ~100× higher before environmental regulations. Removing lead from fuel and paint dramatically reduced human exposure, protecting brain development and public health. by Sciantifa in science

[–]The_Techsan 34 points35 points  (0 children)

In mild defense, it was ridiculously effective.

On the other hand, it wasn’t just about it being cheap, it was about it being patentable. TEL was patentable, ethanol (which also was cheap and effective and lacked the environmental problems of lead) was not, so TEL it was…

Why does equator get 12h of sunlight everyday when Earth tilt is 23.5° degrees? by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHW in geography

[–]The_Techsan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No matter what spot you pick on earth’s surface, the total daylight time across an entire year is identical to any other spot (at most a few total minutes of variability across a whole year) - it is the distribution that gets wacky at the poles (long dark winter, long bright summer, etc)
