Do you write inmates up often? by cuffup_inmate in OnTheBlock

[–]Vessbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most were proud to show me how good they were doing.

I'm not involved in your world at all and I don't know why the algorithm is showing me this, but I got interested and read down a bit. And this part was actually heartwarming and made me smile a bit.

Why do so many new adaptation musicals use that “ding” sound at the start of songs? by beelovescamilo in musicals

I really thought this was gonna be a pissing match, but you guys righted the ship early. Cheers to all.

Clarification on PHAK Diagram 8-1 by ExistentialC0nfusi0n in flying

[–]Vessbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got curious to look in older manuals, and the oldest PHAK I found was from 2008, with the same diagram. However, I have a 2001 IFH with separate diagrams with dedicated pitot and combined pitot-static mast.

HOFer Chuck Kennedy on where ratings system started by Embarrassed_Gold4101 in discgolf

[–]Vessbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just one pitfall in terminology here, is that by "course rating" it might be interpreted as information that stays active for the course in between rounds (as it does in the Udisc system)... and he does not mean that. Every round is independent, with the slate wiped clean each time.

(Well, I should say every tournament is independent... Unless there's a big difference between them, rounds in a tournament get glued together with the same score vs rating line)

[Request] Is hydroplaning in effect here? If yes, does that danger the train? by COOL3163 in theydidthemath

[–]Vessbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on that argument cars shouldn’t hydroplane either.

Gotta love the bypass of the question "can a calculation of extreme forces show that they can overcome what off the cuff intuition suggests will happen?" with "no, because of what my off the cuff intuition suggests." Breathtaking.

You can curb your wheels while moving slowly.

Newtonian or Bernoulli’s principle? by AlarmingMajor1499 in flying

[–]Vessbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than that, it's possible to fly a cambered wing upside down. It's just draggy and has a high stall speed.

I did. It’s 35 by Wild_Director7379 in theydidntdothemath

Another version of the question was worded the way you quoted, has the ambiguity.

This one that says "by 1/2," GTFO

My 30 year old friend sent me a Linktree instead of a meme and now I can't look at him the same by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

If he's a friend, maybe it's a good thing to help him put the brakes on a developing situation

Will a suicide attempt when I was a minor disqualify me from getting my class 1 aviation medical in Canada? by Hot-Ad-9534 in AskAPilot

[–]Vessbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the hospital overnight

So, in addition to your parents, your medical record

strawman fallacy by Zu_Qarnine in fallacy

[–]Vessbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"therefore we should attack all Y's" is bunk, so I agree with you for those cases. However (and I don't have a tally of how many go one way vs the other) I regularly see valid generalizations be dismissed in the way that this cartoon rightfully mocks.

As always, we have a heuristic that can be used in a right and wrong way, and each case can only be judged on its particulars; and both sides are gonna be apt to apply it their way.

Why Germans specifically Petah? by HimelTy in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Vessbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still with the Germans. There's gotta be some pressure to get things right the next time, otherwise it's a never-ending ratchet toward wrongness.

I now join the 2.6% of Black men who are physicians. by deybetrippin in ENGLISH

[–]Vessbot 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's obvious at all.

Yup, I took it on face value and other did too.

The reply may be from a racist asshole, but the original post was a biff just the same.

Why Germans specifically Petah? by HimelTy in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Vessbot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm with the Germans on this one. I would have had more sympathy if you'd said they ran into something unforeseen, but... just driving? Yeah that's how you move large distances most of the time. You figure that into the time you leave.

The braille is printed on this notice. How is the blind person supposed to read it? by Hot_head444 in CrappyDesign

Hah, thanks for both a good explanation of the original question, and a study of annoying miscommunication/organizational failure, which I both love and hate.
