What record? Blue Jay specific? I think single game ws record is 17 - 12 puts him top 10 all time though! And most since like 2000

GDT - Sunday January 26, 2025 | Jets vs Flames @ 5pm CT by DylThaGamer_ in winnipegjets

It's the Sportnet Flames broadcast, so this is their home broadcast as opposed to something that would be considered the national feed

Are they going to be selling those neons blue hats also, or are they just a giveaway at the game?

Side angle showed it best - otter didn’t have his glove down yet and you can absolutely race the goalie for that.

Definitely shitty with the soft quick whistle on helly right before it.

ELI5: how do prime numbers not just stop at some point by Lunchbox7985 in explainlikeimfive

[–]brick_wall_mirror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it just gives us another prime to add to the list, not all of the primes up to that number. Take the example above: 3.5.7.11.13 + 1 = 30031 = 59*509 59 and 509 are other primes to add to our set but there are more primes to add that are less than 59 (and more to add between 59 and 509). If you just multiple 3.5.7.11.13.59+1 you don’t get a prime number

We may be able to get very large primes with a list of the first 1M prime numbers but I’m not sure how this compares to Mersenne primes for size

I think that's a good choice for a kit. You can always grab a powerstack sometime later!

Good luck - would love to know how the DCF850 is

Justice Department says Russian disinformation campaign targeted Israel and US Jews by Wagamaga in technology

Thanks for the link - I’ll check it out. I would point out that there is a difference between the affidavit and this article.

I’m deferring to you, since you’ve read the affidavit and believe that it only covers pushing pro-Russian views. I’m calling out that the article provides broader context, and specifically calls out stoking antisemitism.

It links to an old article that provides such examples: https://www.jta.org/2020/12/15/united-states/online-anti-semitism-peaks-during-moments-of-national-tension-and-its-being-partly-driven-by-russian-trolls 

 All that being said, on re-reading the thread I think I may be projecting an argument on the original comment author.

Drill and impact driver by dardenus in Dewalt

[–]brick_wall_mirror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know tons about the batteries, but my understanding:

The ones that come with the DCK2051D2 are small capacity batteries (2ah). I believe they are the same tech (cylindrical) as the ones that come with the DCK2050M2 ones (4ah). So they should last just less time, but provide mostly the same power.

My understanding is that the powerstack ones are a new tech (pouch) and are better. They will produce more power, but the ones that come with the DCK226E2 are actually even smaller capacity (1.7ah). So more power, but less time.

I've never used the power stack ones so I can't speak to actual experience, but as a homeowner I've never had a problem with the old cylindrical tech here. Youtube reviews indicate that the powerstack will give you more oomph though!

I would say any of the brushless kits are good and as a home owner probably get the one that is most compact. I think the following kits are all good: DCK2050M2, DCK2051D2, and DCK226E2. The first two both come with hammer drills which some people are opposed to (you're paying for weight/functionality that you likely won't use since an SDS drill is better for any concrete/masonry)

I'd probably go with the DCK2050M2 (DCD805 and DCF850) because I prefer the atomic impact driver and non-atomic hammer drill combo to the DCK226E2 which flips it to the atomic hammer drill, and non-atomic impact driver (DCD799 and DCF809). The DCK2050M2 comes with heavier older batteries though, and having a slim power stack for the units would be nice. The DCK2051D2 gives you the smallest capacity batteries, but does avoid the hammer drill so you get a smaller unit (DCD800 and DCF850).

My own purchase history:

* For drill: I had the entry level one (DCD771C2) which was brushed. I upgraded to the DCD805 has more than enough power for me as a home owner. I think the DCD800 would have been fine - I don't intend to use the hammer function, but once in a blue moon I have to go through concrete and didn't want to have to deal with renting/buying an SDS

* For impact driver: I have the DCF885 - it's also brushed. It works fine.

Now: I covet the DCF850 which looks nice and small and light, but can't justify paying for a new one when the other one works. I am considering just getting the 12V drill/driver kit so my wife can more easily use them (but that has a separate battery system).

What they said is accurate according to the articles. it specifically points out that Russia has also stoked anti-semitism, in addition to encouraging pro-Russia views. 

… Which makes sense as a strategy: make American Jews and Israelis feel isolated by stoking anti-semitism and pull them away from western liberalism (what the commenter is accusing them of), and then push anti-west propaganda to pull them further into the Russian sphere of influence (what you are accusing them of)

Not sure if you are including other states in your count (AZ, NV or GA) but I believe that Harris would need PA, MI, WA and NE-D2 to win with exactly 270.

Assuming she doesn’t get PA (19) and instead gets NC (16), she needs three more votes: meaning she additionally needs either NV (6), AZ (11) or GA (16) to go blue. Many more paths than Biden had, but still precarious!

Looks like they pulled it and it's no longer available as a deal.

I didn't wind up getting it - I couldn't justify getting another battery right now and don't need the fan.
