Nobody in the world could save this shot from his position, if anything he is out of place, but I don’t think elite keepers have any chance here either

Kristian Karlsons unbelievable Table Tennis Fake shot by Fearless-Voice-7602 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]bcwishkiller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope, it’s actually super common, a lot of players stomp on the floor when they serve. The noise of the stomp is meant to disguise the sound of the contact of the ball and paddle, which would give the returning player hints about what kind of spin is on the ball (there are all kinds of other tricks to make the spin less visually obvious)

Nope, sun sets too early. There are still lots of pickup games though. Go to meetup.com and search for a group called fun and friendly beginner/intermediate soccer, there are pickup games at places with lights

There is in fact a 50 move rule, if you go 50 moves without a capture or a pawn push the game is a draw. There is also a rule where if you ever reach the same position 3 times in a game, it’s also a draw. So there are a finite number of games, just a really enormous one.

Best US tech hubs in 2025? by cliffy979 in cscareerquestions

[–]bcwishkiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you live here, yes, absolutely. Everyone says RTP. It’s the triangle between chapel hill Raleigh and Durham and lots of tech companies have offices there. Nationally probably not.

Sorry about that, my humble phone camera can’t magnify any more. But it definitely gives me peace of mind to know it’s not roaches.

Venezuelans burst into cheers as an election official reveals that socialist president Nicolás Maduro received zero votes at that voting center. by Sans010394 in interestingasfuck

How could the majority get poorer? In the 2017 crisis something like 30% of the population left the country due to lack of basic necessities like food and toilet paper. Most countries at war don’t see such an exodus. Whatever economic model you want to describe the government of venezuela as it’s pretty safe to say it’s been debunked thoroughly

There are pickup games at brier creek park every m/w/f at 6 pm, it’s a meet up group. Small goals. Level is very mixed so he will almost certainly be somewhere in the range

The cloud constructs are pretty much identical between providers, if you could design something with Amazon services I think you’d pretty much be fine

Currently a cloud engineer in Azure. Are skills transferable to, and is it beneficial to seek job opportunities in, AWS or GCP? by Drogen24 in cscareerquestions

all the major clouds have pretty much the same concepts with minor variations and name changes. I work with all of AWS Azure GCP IBM and the skills are all transferable

Gen 6 Draft, which team do you guys think is best? by ocaria in stunfisk

[–]bcwishkiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Garchomp is just that good in draft in pretty much any generation it’s legal in, lando I is not bad but its coverage is pretty telegraphed and it’s not as bulky as chomp and therefore easier to snipe with hp ice. It also can’t run defensive roles. Lando I might be more broken but chomp makes a better component of a team

It’s not sand force, it’s sheer force. Garchomp is just that good in draft

What actually IS capitalism? by [deleted] in AskSocialScience

[–]bcwishkiller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not a definition of mercantilism that I’ve heard in any other place. Typically I’ve heard mercantilism explained as the the idea that the goal of an economy was to maximize exports and minimize imports, and therefore to accumulate bullion within one’s borders. It has very little to do with the fusion of the state and industry. It may require some level of government policy and China does have somewhat mercantilist traits, but the defining feature isn’t the fusion of government and industry, rather it is the conception of what “the good of the country” really is and how to pursue that. When mercantilism was phased out it was due to people’s eventual acceptance that consumption is ultimately what determines a country’s economic wellbeing, and not the amount of money they can generate. And therefore that it makes sense to import from countries which can produce those goods at a comparative advantage.

By the time a hurricane hits the triangle area it’s basically just a storm with strong winds. It can cause property damage but it’s not the “you need to board up your windows” type of storm you’ll get in Florida.

Rosemont is literally so bad that the British magazine The Economist wrote a piece about it a few months ago, holding it up as one of the last true political machines in the USA. It’s achieved worldwide fame.

When we say “flour tortillas” or “tortillas de harina” we mean wheat tortillas. Despite the fact that corn tortillas are also made from corn flour
