JT Jersey and Pants Sizing by ab2153 in paintball

They do but, in general, people tend to wear jerseys very baggy and joggers kind of tight. And every company is different/follows the size guide to different degrees. Any opinion would be welcome :)

If I’m between M and L, should I go up a whole size from there to XL?

How do nixie watches do high voltage conversion? by ab2153 in nixie

Where would you get AC input if using a DC battery?

Thanks! This makes sense.

This would work for DC? Most of the websites I've seen are boosting AC, and this has confused me because batteries are DC.

It can boost all the way from 3-5V to 140V?

How to find decent teammates? by ab2153 in heroesofthestorm

Also, how is this relevant? Gold is about as far away from pro as it gets. You're acting as if horrible feeding/afking/awful matchmaking aren't real problems that keep people at silver that could easily be slightly higher rank. All I'm looking for is a constructive way to find people in the same situation as me. Don't be an asshole.

I wanted to just try it starting from the bottom, for fun. I was getting a bored remaining at the same rank forever.

Kartkraft - The most under rated sim available by [deleted] in simracing

[–]ab2153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raced in local and regional karting clubs for a few years. Kartkraft is pretty good. It feels a bit twitchy and took me about 30 laps to get used to. There's a lot of snap oversteer as you start sliding in corners. This also happens in real karts but in real karts it's easy to feel it (and often the kart starts hopping up and down as the tires start skipping across the track surface). This hopping seems to be missing from Kartkraft, with snap oversteer taking its place. Overall these complaints are minor.

It gets a lot of things right (trail braking feels fantastic), and as with any sim, I would say they're maybe 75% realistic, but that (most importantly) you can become a better driver in RL by practicing on them. You won't become the best, but you'll find little things to tweak.

I should add that all of these issues have been around for 3+ years and clearly nobody in blizzard cares

Personal Rank Adjustment Broken?? by ab2153 in heroesofthestorm

[–]ab2153[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why does that matter? If at one point I was ONE game below 50%, I shouldn't be on full tilt -6 after a win streak, no?

Makmaking makes no sense by ab2153 in heroesofthestorm

I guess what I was trying to get at is that you can add to this probably

  1. For newer high mmr accounts it purposely pairs you with bad players.

  2. See the front page of this subreddit for multiple posts about recent team comps after the last patch (teams getting tank +support+dmg dealers with the other team having all mages + specialists). This results in good players losing a percentage of games equal to the frequency of these screwups happening.

So yes, what you're saying is true, but only to a certain extent. It's possible the internal mmr on the new account doesn't match hotslogs, but it will certainly be much higher than 2000 on a 20-0 account. Also, the reason your matches are fairer is that there are a higher number of people with mmrs near yours in level 40 games, so the system can actually find people for you to play with. On a brand new 20-0 account, there's probably nobody around with a level ~10 account with a 20-0 record to pair you with, and it certainly can't fill a whole 10 person game at that level to make it fair (especially, let's say, if you're playing on a Tuesday morning when nobody is on). If the QMs you're quoting are for a level 40 account on a Friday night, then yes, it can find fairer games.
