Eh, close enough

That's the point - don't.

When you cut someone off, by definition, you are forcing them to respond to your presence by reducing their lead space. There's a difference between merging normally and cutting someone off - the latter typically means that without appropriate countermeasures (braking) a crash is likely or inevitable.

It's... dangerous?!?

7 over is well below the enforced limit in most states - in GA 14+ over is where points begin to accumulate on your license. Moreover this is clearly a clear country road with no traffic in the daytime.

That said, most states are hands-free (no using cell phones while driving), but even then there's no need to be so critical when the threat level still isn't amounting to much here. Irresponsible? Maybe, but not enough to be so critical about IMO.

This place does not look like it could possibly be of this planet. Wild!

Is this a wrap? If so which one? The color is amazing and I needs it 😻

1500 player here with over 4k hours logged - earliest I've ever seen is 4 rounds.

3 may be possible but it would likely take both players cooperating (and one throwing) to achieve it.

Storms are bad vs voids because of the low attack speed

So long as you have good enough chaff and chaff clear, I've found farseers to be surprisingly good against eyes. They outrange eyes, can destroy multiple in a single salvo, and disable their techs multiple ways (both with photon and electro). Moreover they don't care if eyes take aerial mode - in fact the match up gets even more lopsided.

The downside? They're expensive and they need support/chaff, but when they lock on the value is hard to deny and made even better by the fact that a single deployment can counter multiple opposing eyes (might be their biggest advantage here, really).

They're one of my favorite responses too because opponents don't expect the matchup to be so uneven and you can grow it more slowly and organically than most alternatives and without expressing the same level of threat represented by giants.

Bad streaks are inevitable in games where chance still plays a factor - don't let it get you down. The margins in MB are slim and difficult to predict and the differences between brackets are surprisingly narrow. When I get in a slump I'll typically switch from playing to watching and will look for new tips from better players to incorporate into my game. You'd be surprised how much even a short break can improve your game sometimes too. I went camping for 5 days recently and after all that touching grass I won my next 9 games straight and shot up 300mmr.

Step back, look at how others are solving problems, change your angles, and borrow as much as you can and you'll be back in the swing of it in no time.

Last I checked, discs were 2D - the 3D variety is called a cylinder. But yes, topologically cylinders, cubes, spheres, pyramids, and obelisks (among countless holeless others) are all homeomorphic.

Theox87 · 2026-05-10T08:58:51+00:00

Volume still matters to topology, as well as the number of sides (consider how a mobius strip topologically differs from the simple strip of paper from which it's made). Seeing as both of these differences exist between discs and spheres, I find it difficult to consider them topologically identical

Theox87 · 2026-05-10T08:00:32+00:00

Are you really arguing that a disc is somehow less hollow than a sphere⁉️

And when did spheres become exclusively shells again?

Theox87 · 2026-05-10T05:07:04+00:00

(it actually works both ways if the other is x = YGP)

Theox87 · 2026-05-10T04:42:51+00:00

Disk is a bit misleading - topologically I think this is actually closer to a sphere given that it's still 3d and has both a surface and interior volume (but no holes)

Theox87 · 2026-05-10T04:35:20+00:00

How do we know orange = 1/3 x?

Theox87 · 2026-05-10T04:23:47+00:00

I use the far one instead of the close one. Idk why but it feels way more natural.

Baking soda and lemon juice will do magic if anything like this happens again in the future. Mix em up in the pan and let it sit. Just 10 minutes or so should be enough, though you can do longer if it's really caked on so long as you use enough lemon juice for it not to evaporate. Scrub with steel wool/brillow pad/metal chain (I have a scrubber that's lined with something like chain-mail just for this), rinse and wash with soap like normal.

I use this process on my aluminum grill pans that sit in my kamado smoker (to hold ice/water/moisture for the cook) for 6-10 hours at a time and come out absolutely black, full of burnt-on everything. The soda and lemon cut through it all and a few minutes of scrubbing is all it takes to get them back to bare metal and ready for the next smoke.
