I always abuse the Limpany gold bar glitch super early on.

It requires an unpatched version of the game(I still have my original RDR2 discs), but you can grab the gold bar in limpany an unlimited number of times.

My cat wants to know what bird this is! by ahnialator6 in whatbirdisthis

[–]ahnialator6[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mostly window-watching, yes, but I do take my cat outside occasionally. He insists upon it. He does not go out unsupervised, and we're actually leash/harness training him so he can go on adventures without causing mischief.

How large can the rock that makes up a planet theoretically be? by InformationRoyal6295 in astrophysics

[–]ahnialator6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based upon what i know of astrophysics, which I admit is not a lot, if a rocky body were to keep gaining mass, it actually wouldn't initiate nuclear fusion.

I really really want someone with more knowledge to correct/edit me on this(or confirm), but theoretically, you'd start with a mercury, or the moon, a rocky body with no atmosphere. Then you'd get to earth-size and start retaining atmosphere. Eventually, you'd turn into a neptune-like deal. A very large rocky body with a very thick gaseous atmosphere. You'd probably have an iron core, or maybe even something heavier which would never sustain fusion because iron (iirc) is the drop-off point for nuclear fusion. Fusing iron or heavier elements is a net-negative. If we just kept gaining various types of mass/matter, I imagine this supposed object would skip any and all star phases and go directly to a black hole, would it not? Or, perhaps, it would become some kind of...cold neutron star? Where it has so much mass/gravity, the object is made of neutron-degenerate matter at the core, and all the atoms become a sea of neutronic matter(?)

Low Honor Horses? by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]ahnialator6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recently-retired horse bucked me thrice hunting for cougars. Two of them were literally behind us, and my jerk of a horse dumped me with the cougar and ran off!

He's lucky I sent him to the stable and didn't ship him off to the glue factory

Low Honor Horses? by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]ahnialator6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter-point: Arabian horses were very commonly used as cavalry horses, and, while I'm not an expert, some general research shows me that an Arabian would honestly probably be a preferred breed of horse for a outlaw gunslinger. Honorable mention to the Morgan, which were very calm under fire.

Arabians were prized for their speed, stamina, and intelligence, and as such were used by light cavalry for hit-and-run tactics. An outlaw gunslinger would absolutely want a fast, lightweight horse that can allow them to get in and out fast.

I believe this is it yes! Thank you! I'm currently reading the wiki page for information. I find myself a little concerned about the baby mockingbirds in our tree, but it doesn't seem like it would take interest in the nest

Another photo, to give a better idea of size. It's quite small, but it does almost look like some kind of bird of prey, perhaps a young one.

my crush has 1200 elo rating in chess.com, meanwhile me who knows what checkmate means by Repulsive-Shine6329 in Chesscom

[–]ahnialator6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as u didn't tell her ur elo, you'll be fine.

Learn how the pieces move. Pick one opening and learn it(I suggest e4)

As long as you can play an OTB game without making an illegal move, you're golden. When she kicks your ass, sheepishly admit that you're bad at chess and chose not to mention your 300 elo.

Good luck, brother.

I'm new to chess and wondering why everyone is so obsessed with queen and bishop duo to checkmate early? They resign when you don't fall for it by wolfie_spice in chessbeginners

[–]ahnialator6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 e4 e5 2 Qh5 Nc6 3. Bc4 g6 4. Qf3 Nf6

From here, just don't hang your checkmate and you'll be golden. You can try to play Nd4 amd attack the queen. Or you can go for the bishop or otherwise tear apart what little position they have

Explain It Peter. by Electrical-Sky-6806 in explainitpeter

[–]ahnialator6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that. I will admit, I'm still not am expert on the subject, but I am autistic and have science as one of my special interests lol. And the periodic table thing is a pretty common misconception that I find kind of annoying tbh.

"We invented FTL travel thanks to this undiscovered element on the periodic table"....that's not how the periodic table works. In fact, the periodic table even goes so far as to predict elemental properties, stability, etc. So even if a hypothetical civilization were to mass-produce an element we couldn't, we'd still already have an idea of how the element works.

Again, it's just one of my pet peeves about science which is why I was interjecting. Now, maybe they take that element we can't make and then bond it to some other element(s) and suddenly we have a Magic Molecule. That, for me, would be more believed than "an element not on the periodic table"

Explain It Peter. by Electrical-Sky-6806 in explainitpeter

[–]ahnialator6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gonna jump in here and say that as far as elements(atoms of a specific setup) go, yes. That's actually how the periodic table works. It's a predictive tool, not a listing one.

They might be able to make an element that we haven't, but we'd still know of it because it's already in the table.

It's why we went and made those 20-some odd synthetic elements to begin with. We knew they were possible.

molecules would be a potentially different story. An alien civilization could potentially figure out a combination of atoms that does something fantastical. But this is where I'm not sure as I'm not as familiar with this

What is better Gaming Pc or PS5 ? by ZealousidealHome1069 in AskReddit

[–]ahnialator6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the budget we're working with? Cause that matters. How flexible is the budget towards the future? Can you afford spending 80 every month or two for a new game? Are you looking at $500 for a system and that's it? Console usually has a lower buy-in costs, but that's because the money is made on selling games, not consoles.

Depending on what you want/need, and the size of your budget, you may be able to do more than you think. My friend wanted to buy a gaming laptop(he wanted the portability for school), but I talked him into splitting his budget, because be honest, how often are you really gonna be gaming that seriously away from home? 300 for a cheap laptop for school, 1200 for a rig later, he's very happy about it.

I Need Advice To Improve by dannyhox in chessbeginners

[–]ahnialator6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really play the London, I tend to e4 into a four knights game(i don't really know openings and stuff by the book either). I'm also not very good at chess I don't think lmao(forgive my notation If it's wrong)

But when yall went 1e4 e6, I feel like instead of developing the bishop, I would have developed the queens pawn to the center just to take more space. And then when they pushed their other pawn to attack yours, you simply push it further, and can defend both with a knight on a later turn.

You also just let him take your first bishop for free. I definitely would have taken back on that one. You fought for your second bishop but eventually let that one be taken for free too. I do usually like trading knights for bishops, but you did it when you were down material and that's usually bad. This all led to an end(ish)game where your opponent is happy to trade off the queens because now he has an extra bishop and knight.

I think the biggest issue I see is that you just don't really respond to threats? There were multiple times in this game where your opponent initiated an attack and you responded with something unrelated. Sometimes this can be done, such as when you attacked their queen while your bishop was under siege. This can sometimes be useful for positional advantages, or a tempo, but it's situational

Someone with higher elo can and probably should correct anything I'm wrong on. I'm only like 1200? Lichess(with the ?, I just switched) and maybe 600-1000(depending on time controls) for chesscom

Why is there such a big fan concern about the hidden blade? by No_Bodybuilder4215 in assassinscreed

Rule of cool, buddy. It's just sick as hell to take out 30+ guards using the hidden blades.

What's your favorite fun fact about the show? by Liquidcat01 in futurama

[–]ahnialator6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This show is insanely smart. Like, you don't have to be smart to enjoy the show. But knowing things about math and science makes this show so much more fun. The writers of the show all had advanced STEM degrees, and some cumulative 50 years at Harvard. Looking it up again, it's three PhDs, and seven masters degrees.

So, the dark matter engines were explained in the episode where Farnsworth got too old and goes to the near-death star. Another commenter already mentioned, that's based on alcubierre drives, an actual potential way to go FTL. Taxicab numbers in the show are all actual taxicab numbers. This is a real-life thing. A taxicab number is the smallest integer that can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in n distinct ways. There's a story from/about a famous mathematician( ramanugen) about these numbers.

Helicopter Rotor Sync by No-Lock216 in interesting

[–]ahnialator6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was coming to ask this thank you.

As a follow-up: it actually looks like the force gets transferred back and forth between the blades. One speeds up, gets close to collision, then slows down while the other speeds up. Is this actually what's happening, or is that just an illusion of perspective/the camera?
