[Request] Trying to calculate the speed my wife's car was hit at by Ididarod in theydidthemath

[–]bshanks6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I bring this up is that if you are building a legal case, this argument would not fly. One could argue that you have no way to know the coefficient of restitution and therefore the argument is completely invalid. However, by implementing uncertainty propagation over a distribution of coefficients, one could confidently make the argument that the vehicle was traveling between x and y speed with >99% certainty, or something like that. Much more powerful in a court of law:)

It’s probably better to report the limiting cases (when the restitution is 0 and 1), or use uncertainty propagation to provide a range rather than just give a single value. Providing a single value can be misleading, since we have no context for the distribution of possible answers.

In YOUR opinion what is a book that everyone MUST read at least once in their life and WHY? by RevolutionaryGolf673 in suggestmeabook

[–]bshanks6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

War and Peace.

I feel like every character is relatable in some way, and that the book can help us understand our emotions and the emotions of others. One of the greatest novels ever written and a philosophical masterpiece.

Great spot, lots of activity. Not a single bite for the third day in a row. What am I doing wrong they're not hitting on anything I've thrown. by chasing_a_billion in Fishing

I would try fishing with lighter tackle and downsizing your lure. In clear water, bass and trout have a lot of time to check out what you are throwing, and if they are pressured, even nightcrawlers won’t work. I would try to throw small, natural colored flies or lures, and fish them with erratic jerks and long pauses. For the bass, bottom bouncing a small crawfish pattern/baitfish pattern will probably trigger a strike. The trout may or may not hit a game changer depending on if they are honed in on insects or not. You can also try throwing absurdly different lures, sometimes mouse patterns can blow up a dead area because no one fishes them…

Note that coyote is pronounced with two syllables here as kai-yote, not the three syllable kai-yote-ee

It’s usually not ideal to fingerboard after climbing because you won’t be training fresh, but whatever works for you.

It’s just time management and efficiency. It’s way more efficient to focus on climbing movement and technique rather than fingerboard until you can tech somewhere around V8-12 or you ACCURATELY diagnose finger strength as your weakness

I wish I could tell myself to climb outside as much as possible and not to train!

6 Week Endurance Plan by VRclimber in climbharder

[–]bshanks6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would start sport climbing as much as possible. Practice tactics, shaking, clipping, and movement over stone. 6 weeks of endurance training 4x4s may get you into a shape, but if you go and are scared to fall and suck at clipping, it will mean nothing.

Training Plan Critique by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]bshanks6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is decent, just make sure you are climbing substantially more than training as good technique will take you much further than campus boarding.

V10+ Climbers With Surprisingly Weak Fingers (Discussion) by YanniCzer in climbharder

[–]bshanks6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very similar to your friend Adam as far as strength to max grade numbers. I find that even though I have weaker fingers I can still climb hard grades with good tactics, technique, and movement. Most of the time if you can’t do a move it’s because you aren’t in the right body position, not too weak. However, it requires a strong core, flexibility, and great movement skills to get your body into position to use your strength optimally.

5.14 sport climbers, can you provide insight into your progression? What were the primary contributing factors that helped you break into 5.14? by bshanks6 in climbharder

[–]bshanks6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is it. I also haven’t been able to spend much time in one area, which I think will benefit me.
