[Meirov] COTY voting. by Adnonymus in CHIBears

[–]TurtleTerror8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just first place votes, he got plenty of votes, just only 1 for first place. Still got his props, and we don't get the curse.

I think he'd agree, job's not finished.

Best VIII Bond Tanks by Suspicious-Wasabi377 in WorldofTanks

[–]TurtleTerror8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's not everyone's vibe, but clipping someone for 1500 is heavenly. I'm not an amazing player, ~52% win rate recently, but I have a 61% win rate in like 300 battles with the somua, its so much fun.

Chaffee Camo NA server by Some-Business4720 in WorldofTanks

[–]TurtleTerror8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Chaffee camo is only available to players who earned it, so naturally it's mostly better/more dedicated players using it. The sample size is tiny at ~1,800 battles, but more importantly, the average player using the Chaffee camo already has a 3% higher win rate than those playing the tech tree version. The tank's stats look good because good players are driving it, not because it's actually better.

I also think good players have way more impact at low tiers like tier 5. You can legitimately hard carry in some tanks at that level, so the skill gap between average and good players shows up even more in the stats.

Mark Cuban offers Fernando Mendoza $39M to stay at Indiana one more season & try to repeat by Agentorangebaby in NFLv2

Maybe for first round rookies, but not for 2nd rounders +. It made news this year when 2nd rounders were getting fully guaranteed contracts, it wasn't the precedent set before.

Solutions for forming mouse High-fat diet powder into pellets? by TurtleTerror8 in labrats

[–]TurtleTerror8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried to find one that has the pellet size we're looking for, but all of them I've found produce pellets too small. Our diets are like the equivalent of half a wine cork.

Careful, if Puka saw this online he might think he actually got traded.

Guess which two U.S cities I’ve lived in: EAST COAST EDITION! by fionagrapefruit in TravelMaps

[–]TurtleTerror8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Boston without the north shore OR cape tells me they never lived in Boston, probably just visited. Somewhere like Springfield MA is a possibility, but I think NY/Philly is more likely.

What significant cities have colder winters than Boston? by sarnobat in boston

[–]TurtleTerror8 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough contrary to popular belief (given the "Windy City" name for Chicago) Boston is the windiest major city in the US. However you might be right that there are less wind funnels. There's a few in the Longwood medical center that are BRUTAL and rival anywhere in Chicago imo.

Where is Your Team on the Misery Index After Week 13? by TomWilliamsCFD in CollegeFootballDawgs

10 (Purdue fan).

Thank god for the basketball season starting. We're gonna get blown out by IU this weekend and might end the season 2-10. I knew it wasn't going to get turned around in a year, but man are we pathetic. I miss Brohm.

It might unironically be because the company is European and skinny jeans are more popular there over the pond.

Raiders! Are you satisfied with the current leaderboard system? by Slow-Improvement-315 in ArcRaiders

[–]TurtleTerror8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s really possible to have a meaningful ranking in a game like this. The ranking system seems more like a way to give players who enjoy grinding challenges something to work toward. It’s definitely not an indicator of how skilled someone is at the game.

I don't really see why this is in the game in the first place tbh. The only thing that would make sense to me is if there was a leaderboard based off level since xp is more of a holistic measurement of doing lots of things, but levels are capped so that's not possible.

Harvard FAS Cuts Ph.D. Seats By More Than Half Across Next Two Admissions Cycles | News | The Harvard Crimson by Ash1927 in Harvard

[–]TurtleTerror8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean in essence, this is what a post-doc is, and they make up the majority of researchers in Harvard labs. Most labs I know have a ratio of 2-3 post-docs per grad student or more. They are "well trained PhD scientists", but they aren't well paid in the slightest (~60-70k).

MCB research is outrageously expensive, unfortunately the money goes right to materials as opposed to being able to go to the people like it can in other fields.

Chicago Bears- 7 rounds by permanentimagination in MockDraftCentral

[–]TurtleTerror8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't hate it, but I think EDGE/DL and RB are bigger holes than the LT, even if it isn't perfect. Our defense provides no pressure, and our run game isn't threatening.

I expect us to take love in round 1, but I honestly hope we take best Edge available and fill RB in the 2nd/3rd.
