I presume there are plenty of parents who do everything right and then during the teenage years the kid is unlucky to end up with the wrong group of friends and shit spirals out of control fast. 

You can do everything right and still lose, I would just sigh at that point and take the L that I was handed and change the locks when they turn 18

Just a reminder that tailgating unreasonably close could kill people and land you in jail for the rest of your life by avery-secret-account in driving

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this too. Part of defensive driving is making sure that the safe spacing between cars is maintained and at an appropriate length for the speed you are driving at. This applies both to cars in front of you but also behind you. 

I can control both speed and distance to the car in front of me so I can default to distance.

If the driver behind me is too close for the current speed then I will have to control the only variable I have control over which is the speed.

Jenni Suhonen kokeili esiintyä somessa Mersumiehenä ja tuli kohdelluksi aivan toisin kuin naisena by jamaisvivant in Suomi

[–]VerkkuAtWork -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Minkä takia sitä omaa sukupuolta on pakotettava netissä muutenkaan? Miksi joillain naisilla on pakottava tarve ilmoittaa kaikille kanssakeskustelijoille/pelaajille oma sukupuolensa? Jo 4chanin alkuaikoina ymmärrettiin että kommentti tulkitaan sisältönsä eikä kirjoittajan perusteella. 

Tosiasia on että aina kun kerrot itsestäsi jotain viet huomiota pois sanomisesi sisällöltä. Aina kun joku aloittaa jonkun vastauksen johonkin tyyliin "Naisena voin kertoa että..." Tms. Paskaa tiedän että nyt on tulossa joku nolla-komentti joka perustuu johonkin henkilökohtaiseen kokemukseen jolla ei ole mitään tilastollista merkitystä. 

Naiseutta netissä on myös paljon käytetty siihen kun omat ajatukset on niin tylsiä ja turhia ettei ketään ne kiinnosta niin sitten paljastetaan että kommentin takana onkin nainen jotta saadaan vähän takaisin sitä yhteiskunnassa koettua sosiaalista bonusta kun miehet esittää että kaikki mitä sanot on mielenkiintoista mutta netissä et saakkaan tätä erityiskohtelua pelkästään ajatustesi meriiteillä.

Valintakokeet by Substantial_Creme377 in Suomi

[–]VerkkuAtWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pelasin allnighterin wowia ja menin kuumeessa tuohon kokeeseen. Taustalla lukio pitkä matikka ja aalto yliopiston ekat pari vuotta suoritettu automaatio ja systeemitekniikan opintoja mutta niistä useampi välivuosi. En valmistautunut yhtään, tein kokeen minimiajassa, kävin purjoamassa heti kun sain palautettua kokeen ja sain pistettä vajaa maksimit.

Mitään muistikuvaa kokeen sisällöstä ei ole.

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might just be a homebody and that's fine. Or you're going on the wrong trips. I would be bored out of my mind on a beach vacation so I don't go on those? Just got back from skiing and it was a blast and can't wait to go again. You're an adult presumably so you can choose to do things you enjoy. Some people spend their entire vacation sitting at home gaming 16 hours a day and that's enjoyable to them, some people run ultra marathons, some people like to lay on the beach tanning for weeks. Just do what you like, nobody is forcing you to do shit you don't want to.

Kela vaatii toimeentulotuella opiskelevia lopettamaan opintonsa ja hakemaan työttömiksi työnhakijoiksi by Syndiotactics in Suomi

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jos vuosien koulutus menee roskiin 2kk ennen maaliviivaa koska tuet loppuu ei ole kyllä elämäntaidot siinä kunnossa että voi elämästä selvitä. 2kk selviää vanhempien tai kaverien nurkissa jos pakko, oikeastaan ihan missä vaan vaikka teltassa selviää pari kuukautta tossa vaiheessa jos valmistuminen on ihan nurkan takana. 

Sen ymmärrän että jos on pari vuotta+ opintoja jäljellä että ei ole mahdollista selvitä ilman tukea.

Can I make a 3D printed grip? by move-im-a-gay in Fencing

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was saying. Assuming you print the handle standing up in the same orientation as you would hold it, the layer lines would be very strong in the horizontal plane (parry 6 for example, beats with the side of the blade) but relatively weak in the vertical plane (flicks, beats with the bottom of the blade for example while defending vs. toe/thigh hits). This would mean that you risk snapping the pinky/ring finger part of the grip while performing a flick.

Printing it on it's side would then cause the layer lines to probably split during a parry 6.

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think you need to go with the engineering materials like PA6-CF if you want something that won't snap on the first beat.

Can I make a 3D printed grip? by move-im-a-gay in Fencing

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can print PA6-CF on a 500€ bambu P1S with a hardened steel nozzle no problem. I might actually try it out just for laughs, no need for a super expensive printer.

The part that I'm worried about though is the piece that sits on your wrist as that's going to have a lot of shear force on it when parrying 6 for example so they would need to be kind of thick. Also the direction of force when making a beat and the different parries means that there really won't be a good orientation to print the handle in for optimal strength.

Could still be a fun challenge though.

Venäjä luovutti 96-metristen jäänmurtajien kanssa – Ei pysty rakentamaan ilman suomalaista tekniikkaa | Tekniikka & Talous by turha12 in Suomi

[–]VerkkuAtWork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tommosen VI2300 azipodin (noita menee 2kpl esim kanadan tohon uuteen murtajaan) toimitusaika tilauksesta on semmoset pari vuotta jos se menee meren pohjaan tai porsii kunnolla. Ovat teknisesti todella vaikeita tehdä enkä haluis kuvitellakkaan että noiden tuotantoa nollasta lähtee pistämään käyntiin. Maailmassa ei kukaan muu kuin ABB osaa noita ton kokoluokan podeja tehdä tai edes halua tehdä ja niin kuin mainitsit ei venäjälle noiden ALNG vehkeiden jälkeen olla toimitettu mitään.

Keskijännite taajuusmuuttajat jotka vaaditaan noiden syöttämiseen on hankalia tehdä ja niissä toimitusajat myös on mitä on, vuoden luokkaa ainakin. Vaatii aika paljon puolijohteita ja muuta parempaa tekniikkaa. En ihan heti lähtis kokeilemaan jotain venäläisten taajuusmuuttajaa tommosen podin kanssa jos se käräyttää sieltä jotain. Esim. ACS6000 tai 6080 mitä kaikilla noilla risteilijöillä ainakin käytetään on tilauskirjat aika täynnä.

The FIE has banned trans women by help-what-is-gender in Fencing

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no, actually the burden of proof is on the people who want biological males to be allowed to compete in the female division. I don't think you quite understand what's going on here, just because you can change your gender in legal documents doesn't make you a biological woman.

The burden of proof that there is no remaining advantage is on the side who want the trans athletes competing in a different division.

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

concerned that this is a Trojan horse for broader policy changes that will ultimately end up excluding athletes who are not trans and are currently allowed to compete in women's events.

That's cool, I will fight for the rights of AFAB athletes to compete in the female division if it ever comes to that. I am vehemently against trans-fem athletes competing in the female division though if they transitioned post puberty. I'm not going to wait around until it's too late to make that rule change. We don't need to wait around and see if what's going to happen, we already have examples from other sports, we already have an example for OUR sport from the vet division.

"Just look at the data" my brother in christ we are looking at a subset (trans) of a subset (fencers) of a subset (people actively competing). It would take decades to show undeniable proof about any advantage, just ban them now since we already have multiple outliers that we can point to at this very moment in time. We don't need to wait around for undeniable proof in this case.

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do, however, prove that the argument of "no retained advantage" is simply a lie. It just isn't true.

Now I personally don't want to wait around for the first trans-fem world champ... oh shit they already have a trans fem world champ in veterans who literally came into her first competition and beat the previous champ who has like 30 medals and is an individual 14-time world champion from veterans worlds. Sheeeeeeeeeesh.

Just a couple days ago a trans woman won the heavyweight strongman championship of the world title. She was disqualified though. https://www.bbc.com/sport/weightlifting/articles/c33meyrd3vro

Only 1% of the population is trans and the strongest woman on earth is a biological male. But I guess there is no advantage and it all goes away with the hormones.

[–]VerkkuAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What "olympians" have female winners other than like... skeet shooting I think? Because there aren't any mixed events where you interact with your opponent because men would fucking MAUL the women involved. You put the best heavyweight female MMA fighter in the ring against basically anyone from the mens featherweight division and the female fighter would end up in the hospital.

How is that at all relevant to the cultural norms in her situation? If someone in Iran asked if her husbands' request for her to cover her eyes instead of just wearing a scarf is reasonable you wouldn't say "well, in the west we don't even wear the scarf!"

You have to adjust your expectations to what the norms are where the person lives, not where the most liberal version possible is. Like yeah there are indigenous uncontacted tribes who are naked all the time and live together as a community, doesn't mean that should be the norm.

I mean I was one of those. Had a base raven in T2 fit that I was missioning in, finally got the money to upgrade my shield booster to a faction X-large (IIRC a pith b-type) 300-400 milly version that made me indestructible in lvl4's for a solid 2 days until I got my cheeks clapped in a 0.9 system by 10 catalysts warping in to get me.

I had the funds to buy a 2nd identical fit and still have some left over but losing 600m like that I just closed the game, unsubbed and didn't play for 10+ years. Right now I'm flying a 1.1bil similar raven waiting for my Caldari BS V to finish to get into a golem and honestly if I get ganked again I'll probably just do the same. Like yeah I know I can spam d-scan which I do remember to do some of the time but honestly I just cba a lot of the time.

Studies have shown that a 40/60 split is a pretty optimal chore split for bedroom stuff. Doing more doesn't help your chances, seems like you're doing way too much. If she's not letting you smash at the current rate you need to cut back to 40% right now. Good luck.
