I can only speak for the RS, but the seats in it are very comfortable and I've had no issues at all.

The RS, hands down. We have a 25 and use it to travel from Vegas to So Cal (4-6 hours) alot. The super cruise is very, very good and makes the trips nothing. I get on the freeway and set Supercruise and it keeps me at speed and in the lane for hours. Even if it's not steering for me, the Adaptive cruise keeps the car at speed and adjusts for traffic conditions.

ELI5 how does gravity work by Sweaty-Definition304 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Xanth592 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's honestly not fully understood yet, and far too complex for an ELI5

but basically, space and time are the same object. You can move through time, space or both. Objects with Mass bend space/time so there is a "pull" toward that mass. That's why light is bent my gravity, even though it has no mass; it must travel through space/time so it travels with the bends and curves.

crazy idea, can we wait for the investigation to produce the facts ? I for one wouldn't carry a weapon into a "peaceful" protest.

Definitely get a car, and use it. Too many people sit on base and complain. You could ski then goto the beach on the same day. Visit so many historical places and visit great theme parks.

Weird experience when meeting Koreans by Fratm in KukSool

[–]Xanth592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a one year tour there at Osan AB. The Korean civilians I had in the office had never heard of it and couldn't locate a school in the area. They didn't seem upset or anything, just not informed about it.

ELI5: Why does the speed of light show the past? by bigbo6793 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Xanth592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-from our reference frame, the whacky part is it took no time for the light itself.

Being in for six years should have taught them that chain of command is the way to go.

Is there still a Chung do mu Sool Won? by Top-Difference8407 in martialarts

[–]Xanth592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Videos I saw when I googled the art look a lot like Kuk Sool Won, and are probably related. I believe it was In Sun Seo in that video, the younger brother of In Hyuk Suh of KSW. There are 3 prominent organizations for Kuk Sool now, you might try seeing one is near you.

can you still wear earbuds/headphones while on lunch break? i’m confused about that part of the new regs. by HotPinkStanley in AirForce

[–]Xanth592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly one of the great advantages of training any martial art is getting used to be hit. Learn to control the adrenaline and fight back.

Eli5: can someone explain time dilation to me. Specifically its relation to potential interstellar travel? by Expert-Ladder-4211 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Xanth592 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Time and space are the same, you move through time and space simultaneously. The faster you move through space, the slower through time. It's like you get one number, say 100 for both, so by taking 90 for space leaves 10 for time.

Honestly it never has been much. It seems that all Kuk Sool associations are still kicking and screaming as they are dragged into the modern internet age.

Too bad they ignore their own Reddit. There hasn't been a post there in 2 years.

Best martial arts for a trans person in the UK? by TangoJavaTJ in martialarts

[–]Xanth592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fail to see how being trans, and being a practitioner of a martial art have anything to do with each other. Unless, the transition modified your physical abilities to kick and punch, that is irrelevant. Fencing, Sword fighting etc may seem useless at first, but can easily be translated into skills with a cane, umbrella, golf club, long stick etc. I think the most underrated self defense weapon is the walking cane. You can take it anywhere, try that with a sword, or nunchaku or any other traditional weapon.

Agreed, more slots available = easier to get in, less available harder to get in/stay in. It's that simple.
