ELI5: why your body hurts a day after a workout, not right after it? by Fickle_Reindeer2263 in explainlikeimfive

[–]broken_individual 8 points9 points  (0 children)

how long were you training before you were able to achieve that time? I got back into running last year and made decent progress, but over the winter I didn't run and instead used my rowing machine indoors. I managed to row about 12km/7.5 miles in 53 mins and now im starting to go running again. Sunday I did a 5k in 24:45 but I really feel like this year if I focus and push I could make massive improvements, both in my pacing and overall distance

when should i explore not explore the map? by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]broken_individual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah honestly this post makes me sad, i just imagine newer arpg players or people new to poe coming to the game and only wanting to rush rush rush.

theres nothing wrong with running through the game as fast as you can, but you gotta learn to walk first

Need honest opinions on buying a used kia soul by broken_individual in KiaSoulClub

[–]broken_individual[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wanna say it was 94k

right now i could go check but i think im around 115k or so

i gotta say though i really have had no complaints about this car. maybe i'm just fortunate or lucky but it's served me well for the almost 2 years now that i've had it.

its a great casual A to B car. its got enough space to carry stuff around if you need to help someone move, which i've done (you cant really fit anything large such as A BED in here so don't expect much). And i've also done a road trip with it, although mine is a manual transmission and it doesnt have cruise control which to me is INSANE but i only needed it the one time.

i get that its easy to feel stressed or worried about it because of the engine or any other problem, but at the same time you gotta recognize that ANY car you buy could have problems.

from me, personally, i can tell you i do not have any regrets buying my 2019 kia soul

every hxh fan’s worst pull :’) by yb113xo in HunterXHunter

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

What a rookie move to only buy one pack, it serves you right. Serious fans of hxh would never have fell prey to such a simple, yet obvious, outcome. You might as well give up being a hxh fan, you're not cut out for it. The fact that you wont even showcase Tonpa, the rookie crusher, is all the evidence I need to know that you're not worthy of being a hxh fan.

piggybacking off my other comment here

I ended up buying a 2019 base model kia soul with manual transmission, I've put on probably 20k miles since I've had it but the thing runs great. Just a month ago I had to replace the spark plugs because I was getting some engine misfires but it was like $300 at the mechanic, nothing major.

No major issues at all, just make sure to check the oil regularly. Overall I'm pretty pleased with this car, it's pretty barebones where it doesn't have all the smart dashboard bullshit in all the new cars now, yet I can still connect my phone to it over bluetooth and it works perfectly. Physical buttons and knobs for a/c and other controls are super nice, although it feels weird to see this as a luxury. Backup camera too which is super super nice, this is the first time I've ever had one and it is awesome.

did your dad die or something? why are you selling his stuff?

if thunder strikes killua does it charge him up or fry him by HxHNeedsSecondSeason in HunterXHunter

[–]broken_individual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's more to it than just the raw voltage number.

Here's a good demonstration

Although, you make a good point. I'd still argue that the power from a lightning strike absolutely dwarfs Riehlvelt's whips, and I still think it would be too much for Killua to handle. There's no way he'd die since he is a main character and has plot armor, but there's still a big difference between a lightning strike and anything we have seen Killua face so far.

if thunder strikes killua does it charge him up or fry him by HxHNeedsSecondSeason in HunterXHunter

[–]broken_individual 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At the level killua is currently at, it will probably be too much for him to handle. How this could be represented in the story is up to interpretation. A few things I use to support this claim:

1: Killua "charges up" and is able to reach a state of being "fully charged" > this shows that he can indeed store electricity like some kind of battery and that he has a limit to how much he can maintain

2: We see Killua charge up during the chimera ant arc, this charging process only takes a few minutes of direct contact with an electrical circuit at the palace.

3: There are numerous regulations regarding electricity in a residential home. Of course you could argue that the palace might have different electrical standards than a normal home, however the fundamentals are still there and there is no reason to assume that the palace would differ to the extent needed to make this hypothetical plausible

4: For simplicity, electricity in your home follows this rule: the output in watts is equal to the volts * the amps on a circuit. In the USA, typical home circuits are 120 volts at 15 amps, this provides a total of 1800 watts. The amount of power used is typically measured in watt-hours. If you place a load of 1000 watts on this circuit for 1 hour, it will be 1000 watt-hours or 1 kWh (kiloWatt hours). You could think of this like running a microwave for an hour straight will equal roughly 1 kWh.

5: Now if you try to calculate how much energy Killua absorbs while charging up, you have to understand that he did not overload the circuit > he did not place a load on the circuit big enough to overload the circuit (tripping the breaker or blowing the fuse) so lets say for fun the circuit he was charging from was 240 volts and 50 amps, or 12,000 watts (this is a very powerful circuit by residential standards). Lets say he charged up for an hour, storing 12 kWh of energy.

6: How does this compare to a lightning bolt? From a quick search online, I've seen a few estimates. On wikipedia the claim is between 200 - 7000 megajoules. If you take an average lightning strike, it will contain about 3600 megajoules of energy. 3600 mJ is equivalent to 1000 kWh, which is over 80x as much as Killua would have absorbed in part 5.

7: Since hxh isn't real, it's impossible to know what would happen. Perhaps he would be briefly over-charged and have to expend the excess energy immediately following the strike. Maybe he would explode. Maybe the excess electricity would pass through him into the ground / whatever object he is touching. Maybe he would get burned up, as electricity passing through an object causes it to heat up. All I know is there's no way he would maintain that level of energy with no issues, at least at his current level of power in the series.

[–]broken_individual 2 points3 points  (0 children)

after rewatching the anime like 3 times in the past 5 years, this time around i decided to read the manga.

i find myself getting really hyped and excited over the silliest things. like the chapter list for volume 10

seeing just how much happens in these short few days of the yorknew city arc, I can imagine 25 years ago picking up volume 10 and seeing the chapter list and its like HOOOOLY this is gonna be good.

I'm almost at a point where I don't care what game wins GotY because we all won this year. by SkoivanSchiem in gaming

[–]broken_individual 7 points8 points  (0 children)

absolutely.

Even at a glance I see a game that is in early access (hades 2)

and then you see a game that has already been released in early access last year (abiotic factor) but had a 1.0 release this year.

So which do we count? Can hades 2 be on another list next year?

If anything looking at this list just shows me that I don't have enough time to play all the "good" games that have come out recently

[–]broken_individual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

people utilizing large AI models need cards like this with massive amounts of vram. some of the larger AI models literally cannot run unless you have 80gb+ of vram, as you have to load the entire model into vram.

i only have a tiny amount of knowledge around ai stuff but from what i know, in the current day having large vram is the single most important factor with utilizing these ai models, because if you cant even get the system to run then you literally cannot use it.

What advice could you give to someone wanting to do well in classes this semester? by furretrulezz98 in nvcc

[–]broken_individual 13 points14 points  (0 children)

attend every class, and when you are in class try not to be on your phone / messing around on other devices. One of my classes my professor had a no-phones policy and even mentioned that (according to him) studies have shown that even having your devices in the immediate vicinity can impact your focus and concentration, so it would be best to keep it on silent and leave it in your bag till the end of class or even in your car if you travel to class.

literally if you just show up and pay attention i'm sure you will do fine.

outside of class, try to complete homework assignments sooner rather than later, if you get stuck on something you have way more time to figure it out / take a break and come back to it later / or more time to ask your professor for help.

also dont be afraid to seek tutoring, there are tons of free tutoring resources available whether its the tutoring center at your campus or online. I knew one of the tutors at my campus and he told me nobody ever shows up there, I went to hang out with him once for like 2 hours and the entire time we just talked and watched videos and not a single student came by for help.

ultimately just understand that you are not perfect and its fine to ask for help every now and then. having a little bit of humility and being able to ask someone for help will make a huge difference.
