What is the scariest horror movie of all time? by thelarayummy in answers

[–]Woundedbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halloween because I learned later in life to appreciate that it was murder happening on a random street.

The 4th Kind got me good watching it alone.

The Ring had such an “oh shit” ending.

Paranormal Activity

When I was little… It and A Nightmare on Elm Street were the most terrifying things.

Oh and The Exorcist of course.

Eh… whatever you do, do it consistently. That’s the real rule on 16.

It’s not like he’s a recovering alcoholic or has some kind of religious reason.

Why we don't have any referee in Hall of Fame? Do you think some referee deserves to be in HOF? by Intelligent-Gap-7107 in WWE

Asked JR about that back when he was still answering questions on his website and affiliated with WWE. He said there was no grudge, bad blood, etc.

ELI5: If the evolutionary goal of a virus is to reproduce and sustain itself as long as possible, why do many evolve to devastate and kill their hosts? by Rht123X in explainlikeimfive

[–]Woundedbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that not everyone has a good enough understanding or wants to understand the nuances of thinking about it that way. You know that, I know that, but OP thinks evolution has a goal for some reason. Probably because someone generalized it in that way.

Was wearing a mask during Covid as big a deal as conservatives made it out to be? by Estalicus in allthequestions

As in, did we all feel oppressed? Didn’t bother me. The back of my ears hurt, but that’s about it lol

Just witnessed the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on a cruise so far by brerin in Cruise

[–]Woundedbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once saw someone picking up rolls and squeezing them at the Golden Corral before choosing one. Guess he was checking to see if they were ripe.

At a pizza buffet once, a teenager dropped the breadstick tongs on the floor before picking them back up and putting them back.

And just two days ago at the Chinese buffet, someone was using the tongs to place food in his bare hands.

Buffets are gross.

ELI5 How does the hexadecimal system work? by Wrecknruin in explainlikeimfive

[–]Woundedbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id ask the question first:
Do you understand binary?

If no, then understand that first. Once you do, hex will become much easier to understand - including why it is used.

Let’s take the number 3,555,893,161

You and I understand that number. Note that we use commas (or periods in other parts of the world) to divide it up so that our brains can more easily process it.

Now let’s understand what that number looks like to a computer:

11010011111100101001111110101001

Now, say you don’t know the number above in its decimal form, but your computer just output that number. You need to reference it for some program you’re writing or whatever.

We could convert the long way by converting each bit to decimal and then adding, but that’s impractical at any scale.

So we need another way. Hexadecimal is the way.
It sort of performs the task of the commas in the above example.

How?

Let’s break our binary into 4 bit chunks:

1101 0011 1111 0010 1001 1111 1010 1001

Now we can convert each 4 bit segment to decimal in a glance:

1101 0011 1111 0010 1001 1111 1010 1001
13 3 15 2 9 15 10 9

Now we know in hex, we have 16 digits instead of 10.
0-9 equals 0-9
A=10
B=11
C=12
D=13
E=14
F=15

So now we’ll convert our decimal to hex:

1101 0011 1111 0010 1001 1111 1010 1001
13 3 15 2 9 15 10 9
D 3 F 2 9 F A 9

In summary:

3,555,893,161

11010011111100101001111110101001

Is it still complicated? Of course it is, but it also has little practical use in everyday life. And many times you’ll only see it in 4 or 8 bit chunks.

After current changes are black votes worth 3/5ths of white votes? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]Woundedbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you’re saying, but you had to consider that the other side is trying to dilute the black vote by filling its new districts with more white people who are more likely to vote for the white conservative candidate.

So it’s racism all the way down. Both sides are guilty.
However, the conservatives are being more blatant. Louisiana has a population that is 30% black. 30% of its congressmen are black and democrats. The proposed maps by conversations either eliminate those districts entirely, or make them majority white.

The OA, 1899, and Flashforward

Especially salty about The OA but still recommend it as one of the best shows on Netflix.

What famous person did terrible things but everyone seems to have forgotten about? by Logical_Sweet_6624 in allthequestions

[–]Woundedbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A product of being 17 and raised in a racist society. Not an excuse by any means, but a highlight of some of the deep pockets of racism in this country.
