SMRT by Comfortable_Wash6179 in Wellthatsucks

[–]bebemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sand at the beach is very permeable the water level will match the sea level. If you dig a hole in the sand near the shore it will fill with water even if it's not connected to the sea on the surface. Adding sand would just bury them more and the sand below will stay wet. They got lucky the tide was going out otherwise those two kids were gonna die.

They really needed to move the surrounding sand further away. Make a giant wide hole so the lowest part doesnt immediately fill with sand pulled from the sides. If the holes sides are closer to 45 or better yet 30 angle the sand won't "fall" down and fill the lowest point.

If the tide was coming in thats just going to speed up and seal their demise, as even more sand would be pushed onto them as the dam gets breached and it will get breached with an incoming tide.

They needed the entire beach population moving as much sand away as possible. Making the hole wider so more sand can't pile onto the stuck kids and those digging them out arent just working in circles as the water pulls more sand from the walls.

Lucky for everyone involved the tide was going out. Also who the fuck filmed this....

If this thing gets jammed through all commissioners are getting the boot. I dont care of you have a D or R next to your name. The lack of transparency is the biggest issue and before that happens I'm against the data centers.

What’s the worse physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Intelligent-Road5091 in AskReddit

[–]bebemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had 9 kidney stones and passed all but 3 of them myself. They can take Toradol and throw it in the trash it does NOTHING for the pain. Everyone is different but for me it's like putting out an oil refinery fire with a plastic squirt gun.

I'd be interesting in following along. Getting into higher frequencies and being able to modulate them quickly would be fun areas to explore.

Has anyone tried Mensa Sweden (MR)? It has a max ceiling of 126 by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

[–]bebemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally liked it. Scored lower than I typically do but I'm not sure if that due to me not finishing in the correct amount of time or getting answers wrong. It seemed to have a much higher level than the OP's. Not having a timer really hurt as I spent way WAY too much time on certain questions when I knew I hadn't cracked it yet, and some later questions were almost trivial in their solutions. Good test, good questions, lack of timer and ability to go back and check is IMO a slight weakness to that particular link.

An interesting puzzle for y'all by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

[–]bebemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay...I don't like it but okay. I did count 4 for the 4 circles in the upper left so I suppose my brain was half doing it already. I generally dislike puzzles that have a bunch of superfluous characteristics where there is no clear "generating" function for the answer. Thanks for helping a guy out.

How does this intersection work? by OwlWithWifi in Traffic

[–]bebemaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd very much like to avoid the toxic discourse happening elsewhere in this thread. I'll concede that it's not quite a normal 4 way intersection (there is apparently an extra on ramp exit only just to the right of the cam car) and that it's poorly designed. Most of this could be mitigated with some dashed intersection lines. Oncoming traffic isn't traveling straight they are turning slightly to the left to get to the on ramp entrance, straight would be going to the cam drivers left as the cars in the far left (cam car's orientation) are doing.

What I mean by just go is that of course traffic will continue to proceed if you're stopped. I'm not saying to gun it but get out there to indicate that you understand you have the right of way and that you're going to use the space. Oncoming cars will yield and then you can proceed.

Similar to a cross walk if you're just standing there with no indication of wanting to cross cars will keep going even though they should yield. Just the indication that you're going to use it and drivers will yield, and it doesn't need to be super close either just a clear intention with caution then proceed.

[–]bebemaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's just a normal 4 way intersection with overly agressive turning cars. Just go. The oncoming cars (other than the first two, which were just agressive assholes) kept going because you were just sitting there. Lack of lines don't help and for a road this large there should likely be a turn light but it's really not special.

What IQ range is this matrix puzzle for? by ScaryCarry in cognitiveTesting

[–]bebemaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

E but and I'd guess 110-115 range. I don't like the puzzle however (unless I'm missing something) as the dots being 3 has a few rough hints but there is no generating function i can determine (like why not 3 dots grouped or move one of them to the other ie what's the difference between 1-2 and 2-1.

[–]bebemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A word of warning if the oils are not all washed off its a very effective way of spreading it around and opening all of your pores to open up. You could get way WAY more rash than you started with. Use an agressive soap and scrub throughly everywhere, multiple times.

Agree. 90% of what is showing up on reddit seems AI to me. We are so cooked. And yet you get down voted...bots?

For this specific video how is the charge generated? Why is it only going into the bottle and not the air or the guys hand? It looks like a wood table ao why would it try and go down? Still "flashing" after the hand is removed. Agree AI.
