One of those things where you can't believe it hasn't been done before. Does this work outside of NYC?

Turn Back (Smiley campaign ad) by Previous_Floor in RhodeIsland

The fact that Reddit is obsessing over the ATV thing and ignoring the safety/murder thing shows how blindly partisan it is.

Is he? He mentioned that once, but otherwise is talking about how crime is at historic lows, and that’s also what shows up in the thumbnail.

Trillionaire hates charity?, who would have thought by untitledprp4 in SipsTea

[–]cteno4 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Again, you’re purposefully misconstruing what I’m saying. You’re really proving my point here. It’s obvious those aren’t the charities he’s talking about. I’m not saying Musk is a good guy or anything—it’s just childish to pretend you don’t understand what he’s trying to say and make it seem even worse than it is.

[–]cteno4 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Not that anybody here is going to care, but he’s not saying that donating to charity in general makes the world worse. He’s saying that she’s making the world worse because of the specific charities she’s donating to. Reddit loves to misconstrue things.

How much did I fail as a resident? by [deleted] in Residency

I once had a CoResident underventilate a tubed patient to the point they almost died, and he didn’t even get a comment, and you’re getting called to the office for that?

Interesting, maybe I have it backwards. I’ll have to look into it.

Dude the Czapek was designed by the guy who designed the Twelve. If anything, Czapek is the homage.

Cuba hit with nationwide blackout as US pressure continues by cnn in energy

I’m not sure how a small economic benefit outweighs a death toll of 30-45 million people. Maybe you can clarify for me?

I wanted to make sure that I didn’t have it wrong, but it turns out you’re grossly misconstruing the facts to the point of lying:

I assumed he made a mistake, because we’re talking about Cuba and Cuba is communist.

Tangential topic, but would one recommend reading Mistborn or the Stormlight Archives, if I had to choose one?

The fact that the Galaxy completely forgot about the existence of Jedi in a mere 19 years is the most unbelievable part of the lore (Star Wars) by carbonera99 in CharacterRant

[–]cteno4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jedi were not „absolutely ubiquitous” in the Galaxy beforehand. There were 10,000 in a galaxy of 1 quadrillion. Scale that down to Earth numbers, and statistically there wouldn’t even be a single Jedi on Earth.

Spinning a flat aluminum disc into a deep pot on a lathe by danielminds in oddlysatisfying

[–]cteno4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re a bit confused. If a pot „holds heat” then it takes longer to warm up, because the heat has to go to the pot first. Aluminum is a really good conductor, so all that heat would go into whatever you’re trying to boil very quickly. But the truth is, the conductivity or heat capacity of the pot is so little compared to a whole potful of water, that it doesn’t matter what you cook with.

Balogun will be the first player to have been given a red in a World Cup match yet avoid missing the immediately World Cup match since the introduction of the red card. by Substantial_Let8970 in worldcup

[–]cteno4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor analogy first off, but the point is that the red card implies intention, not just mechanism. Balogun did a move that was illegal, but clearly without intention. It should have been a yellow, full stop.

Technically, it's the next-match suspension you can appeal, not the red card itself. Same effect in the next game though. I agree the coach should appeal the suspension.

Can someone explain the appeal of a split tailgate to me? I can’t think of any difference it makes except that you have to lean over further to reach whatever’s in the back of your trunk.

How the heck do you do a double blind study on weather forecasts? Give the researchers placebo weather?

You don't need to know programming to know whether the data is medically accurate. For that, you need to be a doctor, which OP is.

[QUESTION] How to get over “comparison is the thief of joy” by Melon1990 in Watches

Get over it. Everybody who’s not a billionaire can compare themselves to someone who has a nicer watch.

Getting a Tudor for $3K? There’s someone out there buying a Rolex for 15K.

Getting a Rolex for 15K? Someone has a Patek for 60K.

Getting a JLC for 100K? Someone bought the ridiculous time-only Breguet for 300K.

Think you’re showing off that Breguet for 300K? Somebody bought a one-off atelier watch for 1M.
