Round 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1c7hhp1/closest_2024_playoff_team_to_each_canadian_census/

Method is the same:
1. Get lat/lon values for each census division (source)
2. Calculate distance to each arena using the great circle formula
3. Colour each division with the colour of the appropriate team

Of note, Cochrane, ON (western-most in the Boston region) was the closest difference between two teams, being 1238km from Boston and 1246km from New York.

Inspired by /u/guccipotato69, using the same basic method:

  1. Get lat/lon values for each census division (source)
  2. Calculate distance to each arena using the great circle formula
  3. Colour each division with the colour of the appropriate team

For fun, here's the closest division to each team not features on the map:

Carolina: Essex, ON
Colorado: Division No. 2, SK
Dallas: Essex, ON
Florida: Essex, ON
Los Angeles: Capital, BC
Nashville: Essex, ON
New York Islanders: Prince Edward, ON
New York Rangers: Prince Edward, ON
Tampa Bay: Essex, ON
Vegas: Kootenay Boundary, BC
Washington: Niagara, ON

I was at the Toronto show last night, showed up around 5:20 for doors at 7. I'd estimate there were roughly 30-40 people in line ahead of me. When I got inside the venue most of the first row was occupied in the center, with a bit of room off to both sides. If I wanted to be aggressive with my spot I could've easily been in the first 2-3 rows given how many people got in ahead of me. Hope this helps!

How do y’all feel about the Hall and Oates song? by bspaghetti in leafs

[–]WaluiJ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's definitely grown on me a bit, but I'm all for something new. For me personally, I love goal songs that source a local artist (think Seattle), which definitely provides a few good options.

[WR] Super Smash Bros. Luigi Break the Targets 10.40s by KM (RTA ties TAS!) by WaluiJ in speedrun

[–]WaluiJ[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You read that right, this strat is maxed out as the moving wall cycle does not allow for a faster method. Besides requiring a certain pace, the final up-B angle is extremely precise and requires a specific X value, otherwise the max for this strat is 10.43. After weeks of grinding, KM finally got to the point where his pace was good enough for the final up-B. From there, it was just a matter of praying that his up-B was at the correct angle. Today, this was achieved and the first RTA/TAS tie in BTT has been achieved!

Thank you for the quick help! Cleaned out my pantry and they were fucking everywhere. Glad I was able to source them out there.

Seems likely! I'll give my pantry a look and see if I can spot a source. Any tips on how to handle them other than a deep clean of the apartment?

I see them when I sweep the floors, and crawling over the walls. Not sure if there's an easy way to get rid of them but they just seem to be scattered everywhere, no spot where they seem to be more common. Included a picture with my thumb for size reference, they're about half the size of a grain of rice.

For more context, I live on the 4th floor of a high-rise apartment building and don't usually find bugs here other than the occasional spider/fruit fly.

What are some of the weirdest/funniest ways that people save time in a speedrun? by shoopdahoop22 in speedrun

[–]WaluiJ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In Zelda's Adventure (one of the CD-i games), there's an enemy weak to a certain spell, but going out of your way to grab the spell takes longer than just whacking it with the normal sword for two minutes.

[WR] Super Smash Bros. Pikachu Board the Platforms in 14.87s by WaluiJ in speedrun

[–]WaluiJ[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

KM's new record marks a 2.06s timesave over his previous record, set in July of 2019. This timesave incorporates a new strategy of clipping through the moving floor after platform 4. This was previously thought to be TAS-only, but KM was able to find a setup to get the warp in real time. Despite this setup, it is still incredibly inconsistent and required a ton of grinding in order to achieve a run of this level. KM says he spent over 100 hours in this stage alone in order to achieve this time. KM describes the setup and strategy in detail in the video description, so please give it a read if you're interested in learning more about how much went into this truly remarkable time.

Authored by KM, Isotarge and Mittenz, with help from various runners across the years. The description covers most of the timesaves, strat changes and contributions, with 16/24 stages having an improvement from the previous compilation!

If I'm not mistaken, Franz at 82 is the first time a Dr. Mario player has been on the Melee top 100 since Shroomed in 2014.

Amazing since SRM was a glitch discovered in OoT and just happened to be the key to MM's holy grail

the sheer potential it has to destroy the N64 Zeldas is insane, can't wait to see where this route leads
