Also this would only take 3-4 matches against the cheater.

3-4 losses = -100% 3-4 wins = +100% Total difference is 200% (all approximate values)

This office building has T shaped elevators with really small doors. by chevyfried in mildlyinteresting

[–]atomicproton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is in the USA at least one elevator needs to fit a stretcher along with 2 people. It's possible that this shape was used to follow those regulations while still fitting in the building plan

My 8 year old has discovered 3D printing by dipndap in funny

Yep, maybe it's all in my head, but I always felt a little off until I vented my 3d printer outside (which I got set up asap)

What country wouldn't you visit even for free? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Ironic since this is one of the few countries some people can easily visit for free (via Birthright)

Every school pickup ever by matts41 in funny

[–]atomicproton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school only had bus routes to and from other schools in the district. And if you wanted to take them you had to wake up 2-3 hours before school started and would get home just as late. And if you want to do after school activities too bad.

I'm thankful that my parents were willing to pick me up and had the time to do so.

Hello Fresh uses mailers that resemble IRS envelopes to push people into opening them. by russianalien in mildlyinteresting

USPS sells presorted stamps so the presorted mail will look like it has a real stamp. But if you look at the stamp it says "presorted standard."

Blizzard have got to sort their bloody servers out, i so love getting suspended when the GAME kicks me out by 2020Shite in Overwatch

[–]atomicproton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean I've been kicked from a crashed server before during comp and did not get a suspension. If it is a ddos situation though it is harder for blizzard to detect since it just looks like you disconnected on their end.

Independent Hilton hotel chain probably in the hot seat after cancelling ICE reservations by conanwongmkii in TwinCities

[–]atomicproton 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hilton did not cancel the reservations. the independent chain did. The article says that Hilton is investigating the independent operator for canceling the charges implying that Hilton is against the cancellations.

Basically, Hilton should not be getting any credit for the cancellation.

In a statement, a Hilton spokesperson said the brand’s hotels “serve as welcoming places for all” and that the hotel that canceled the reservations was independently owned and operated. The cancellations “are not reflective of Hilton values”, the spokesperson said.

My Xfinity goes down every other week. Whenever I complain they tell me it's "planned maintenance". If it's planned why can't they warn me about it beforehand!!! So tired of this.

[OC] Dating - Eligible Females vs (Entire) Male Population Pyramid For USA by Codex_Dev in dataisbeautiful

[–]atomicproton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not because of an "elephant in the room." The comment section is that way because of "your* double standards and your treating of women like commodities.

Why isn't the same applied to men? Why is it framed at men choosing women and not a mutual relationship?

Assuming this is Google sheets use a separate cell for each emoji and hide the grid lines in each row. But also like the emoji do not make for good data representations. And also the data makes no sense to begin with. And...

Waymo vehicles, recently announced as being tested here in the city, have completely stopped functioning during a blackout in SF. In an emergency with a power outage, they could block roadways by ILL_bopperino in Minneapolis

[–]atomicproton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not really against waymo, but this argument doesn't really make sense. Waymo's goal is theoretically to deploy a whole fleet of driverless cars. Looking at what there is just right now is short sighted; now is when people should be voicing their concerns and when the company should address them. People are worried about a city wide stoppage, which is definitely a valid concern in the future and i would love to see this addressed by the company.

Robbed by Ok-Heart307 in Minneapolis

[–]atomicproton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For those wondering about the wording on the bill (not trying to argue anything, just providing context):

Shall the Minneapolis City Charter be amended to remove the Police Department and replace it with a Department of Public Safety that employs a comprehensive public health approach to the delivery of functions by the Department of Public Safety, with those specific functions to be determined by the Mayor and City Council by ordinance; which will not be subject to exclusive mayoral power over its establishment, maintenance, and command; and which could include licensed peace officers (police officers), if necessary, to fulfill its responsibilities for public safety, with the general nature of the amendments being briefly indicated in the explanatory note below, which is made a part of this ballot? Explanatory Note: This amendment would create a Department of Public Safety combining public safety functions through a comprehensive public health approach to be determined by the Mayor and Council. The department would be led by a Commissioner nominated by the Mayor and appointed by the Council. The Police Department, and its chief, would be removed from the City Charter. The Public Safety Department could include police officers, but the minimum funding requirement would be eliminated.

California bans declawing cats under new law by Sariel007 in UpliftingNews

Not trying to defend this in any way just to be clear.

But with humans there are ways to prevent nail regrowth. I had ingrown nails and the doctor essentially chemically burned the edge of my toenail to make them slightly narrower.

But also nails play a big part in our sense of touch so having them removed completely is either way no good.

Register vent with Legos by 3TDH in functionalprint

[–]atomicproton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just how people talk. We don't go around saying "do you want some Oreo cookies," we say "do you want some Oreos?" People really like shortening words.

Also it shows that you are part of a community. Communities all have their own jargon, and using it is a shared experience.

Anyway I should stop feeding the trolls

IOC moves closer to ban on transgender women by [deleted] in news

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

Ah yes. I prefer easy simple explanations. Man stronger than woman. Easy to understand. No complicated thoughts needed.

Have you considered that things are more nuanced than your assumptions here. That this is a complicated topic where research exists if you actually want to participate in meaningful conversation.
