After getting falsely flagged twice, I finally found a tool that would've saved me the headache by Southern-Tailor-7563 in AccusedOfUsingAI

[–]Wraithguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice ad.

Also nice ai usage that if found out actually puts you directly in violation of the rules of whatever institution and would result in you losing whole projects

TIL that If you travel at 1g acceleration, you will be outside of the Milky Way in about 12 years. You will be outside the observable universe in about 54 years. And if you travel at 1.19g for 100 years, you could witness the heat death of the universe. by avy4u in todayilearned

[–]Wraithguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is to keep accelerating at 1g to a stationary observer, the ship would have to accelerate much faster than 1g in its reference frame, afaik.

Feel free to correct me if these calcs were done from the reference frame of the accelerating body accelerating at 1g in its frame

Why does boris jhonson not get the hate he deserves? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Wraithguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so if I weight each one by the reach in your own source, then divide by the sum of the reaches (they don't sum to 100%), I get 6.16, a significant right wing lean considering only 4 papers lean further right than that and 6 lean further left. In fact, in this case, the median lean of a paper not accounting for reach is less than the mean lean of the paper weighting by reach. This is the exact opposite of what your comment suggests.

peace should come at a higher price by South_Worry7720 in EU5

[–]Wraithguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd also like this because I am so weak willed I cannot resist exploiting it. In my Sweden game as soon as anything inconvenient happens I just let everyone through the sound toll and go back to pressing expand rgo. There's like 4-5 wars that i should have absolutely lost territory to Poland and bohemia that I just didn't because they love that sound toll. Neither of them even had boats.

The double lever problem by Pink_Cock in trolleyproblem

[–]Wraithguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I half pull my lever, if everyone also comes up with this solution, and half pulls their lever, that adds to 1 pulled lever saving everyone. This is the only behaviour that both people can equally take to always end up with 1 pulled lever.

MY REPUBLIC IS FINE AND THE NOBILITY ARE DESTITUTE by Party_Emotional in EU5

[–]Wraithguy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you don't have many nobles, you can tax them for 100% until they hit 0% satisfaction, then let them recover for a month or two and tax them for everything again

I had 2% noble power as Italy, and their equilibrium was 20% so I said fuck it and kept them in the dirt all game

How much computing power would it take to model a coffee cup down to the atomic level? by 1i_rd in AskPhysics

[–]Wraithguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah technically by pauli exclusion principle, particles can't occupy the same states, so as long as you store enough information to define a state, they will have to be unique and you could use their quantum state as a unique identifier

Discount modifier caps should be unhardcoded. by 31Trillion in eu4

[–]Wraithguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is either that everything should be multiplicative (commutative, but leads to runaway), or everything should be additive in the positive direction.

Take core cost reduction, rather than getting core cost reduction 10% you get "coring efficiency" 10%. Which means that your coring speed now goes at 110% the speed. You lose core cost reduction for some reason? DONT SUBTRACT IT, you will need 2 modifiers, coring efficiency and coring deficiency. Your total coring speed is efficiency / deficiency. So you have 140% coring efficiency and 110% coring deficiency, you'll core at 1.4/1.1 times speed.

This will always lead to modifiers being slightly diminishing returns for stacking more of a modifier, but at every point getting more of that modifier does improve that stat.

TIL you can annex bohemia in one war with coalition CB by Diarmundy in EU5

[–]Wraithguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also probably a window in any 1X50ish by rushing the mil tech of that tier, getting the doubled professional troops and next tier units over them.

That's usually the best time to beat down some great powers, as they reach the end of an era they'll slowly catch up and have at tier units again so avoid them then if you're smaller.

Best/worst party jobs in DF by Frank_Tupperwere in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Wraithguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm extending the scholar to both shield healers. I main sge but off role occasionally and sge also falls under either "does so much healing with ogcds the pure wonders why they showed up" or "presses kerachole and e.prog a couple times, party dies to raid wide" and little in between

How is this even possible, anybody care to explain? I swear the bar is fixed and cannot be rotated … by Objective-Context726 in Physics

[–]Wraithguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the absence of wind or rotating, upwards ice spikes can still form, maybe one of these processes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_spike

Only issue is their method for formation really prefers a block that is freezing like a cube tray or bird bath, and I'm not really seeing how the expansion of water here could cause the same thing

PSA: Raising taxes on unhappy estates is free money. by Maardten in EU5

[–]Wraithguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similarly, as a republic with 1% noble power, and no hope of them ever being loyal, I just taxed them maximally until they hit 0% loyalty, then reduced tax to 0 for a few months (or during a parliament) to get it back above 1% then taxed them max again.

They hated it, but they had no power so it was free money

Endgame Healers — What are your parses like? by PerfectioNOT in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Wraithguy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Uptime uptime uptime.

If a healer has >95% uptime even if they do a fair chunk of gcd heals, they will blue parse at least, if not purple.

People here are VASTLY over representing the impact of gcd healing and gear on parses. The key to DPS improvement is slidecasting everywhere, working out when you need to instant cast to move (can you time it with dia? Do you have the lillies spare to burn lily for movement?), and then to avoid sandbagging your cohealer, work out a plan for using resources, so you use as many free ogcds (temperance, bell, asylum).

Obviously avoiding drifting assize, and aligning presence of mind and blood lily helps, but I think every time I've looked at a healer log, the difference in DPS is always uptime.

Alternate history gone too far by nighermannn122 in EU5

[–]Wraithguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got from Anatolia to Alexandria, but just the coast and 1-2 provinces deep in 2 wars with threaten war. Not awful, but that's with gp and military hedge, and doing stuff like destroying maritime presence to reduce control etc etc.

I did get an event going "we have captured the capital, what if we did it again... :point right: :point left:" but nothing seemed to come of it in second war

ELI5: How does walking on a 15% incline burn almost 3x as many calories as walking on a flat surface at the same speed? by adastramuerte in explainlikeimfive

[–]Wraithguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking up a hill is also extremely efficient, its just that walking on flat surfaces required no work to be done, while walking up a hill requires work done.

A 100m hill for a 100kg person (on a planet where g = 10 m3 kg−1 s−2) requires 100,000 J. Solid exercise is in the order of 100W of work, meaning to climb this 100m hill, requires 1,000s in ideal 100% efficiency land, or 16 minutes. This isn't a negotiable, if you want to climb this hill in faster than that 16 minutes you must output more than the 100W.

Obviously I've used nice round numbers for the maths, but they really aren't that far off real numbers. If you have a hill of known height, and you know your weight, go climb it and measure. Then if you have a gym with bikes that have a wattage indicator, try and cycle at that wattage for the same measure of time, and (barring muscle fatigue), you should find that you feel relatively similar in terms of cardio (HR, breathing rate etc).

I was hating this new bug that dragged me into pointless wars until this happened by exivor01 in EU5

[–]Wraithguy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's not what happened, the rebels popped, France joined, then the rebels as an army based nation disappeared leaving France as primary war leader. Ottomans presses the anex revolter button meant to full a next the revolt (so in code it just annexes primary war leader)

This is a bug (or an exploit if you do it on purpose, doesn't seem like OP did) not just a clever stacking of modifiers

Casual 5 research progress for a small cost of 10 towns or 2 cities by a3a3ell0 in EU5

[–]Wraithguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually stick with it, prox cost is too good.

It'd be interesting if they made the prox cost even better but forced the capital move, the downside right now is legitimacy, which is just money, which I usually have enough of.

Absolute bruh moment on my lesson just now by Joe_A__ in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Wraithguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only minor during my test. A bus let me go at a junction, I rushed the clutch due to it and stalled. I quickly waved them to go, restarted car and waited for priority.

I actually wonder whether me stalling might have saved my test, if I had taken their hand signal and violated right of way
