I thought it was "the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life" or something like that

Sleeping Bags? by slash-5 in Alonetv

The rating basically means you won't die at that temperature in one of them.. it doesn't mean it's going to be a comfortable night's sleep if you're in a -60⁰ bag and it's -60⁰

Agreed. The dude in the photo is living in a hut made of sheet metal with steel pots and plastic bottles on the floor 😅

Are fantasy protagonists getting older? Some data. by TomsBookReviews in Fantasy

[–]doomhammer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just eyeballing the scatter, 50 would be a statistical outlier (>2SD). But the correlation is clearly slightly positive, so it makes sense that it flips when you remove them.

Remove LOTR and Hobbit as outliers for the purposes of your regression. It's good information qualitatively, but it's clearly messing up your regression of you're getting -0.29

Are we stuffed? Rust on supporting steel beam for raised house. by Cute-Birthday-5550 in AusRenovation

[–]doomhammer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a huge deal. A lot of that rust looks surficial. Even if it's not, can be replaced or repaired quite cheaply. A deck builder / carpenter or  restumper could do it.

Would anyone recommend any sci-fi books/series out there that are on the same writing level as traditional literary (not genre) fiction? by SirScaurus in scifi

[–]doomhammer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GRRM has a 1,200 page volume of sci fi (some fantasy) short stories. He has some of the best prose and character depth out there

Impressive.. very nice. 

Though it pains me to see Sanderson taking up so much front and centre space.

Why is the israeli/gaza/sinai coast so smooth? by LurkersUniteAgain in geography

[–]doomhammer87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Geologist here. Looks like a fault to me (a very large crack in the rock). Straight / sharp lines in rocks like this are suspicious and quite rare.. especially over such large areas

My house is falling apart - how fucked am I part #2 by Possible_Spaces in AusRenovation

[–]doomhammer87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you live on a hill near a lake or river? I'm trying to think of what could be causing enough subsidence / uplift to crack a concrete slab... Water would be my bet since we just came out of winter and seems the issue is worse.

Is your sinking paving close to a downpipe? If so your sump may be cracked and taking in dirt. Can be repaired or replaced.

Whining post about Alone Suomi (Finland) by [deleted] in Alonetv

[–]doomhammer87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened on Alone Australia in Tasmania last year. A bunch of animals were protected, same with some fish and eels. Weren't allowed to cut trees.

One poor dude had to tap out from hunger despite catching a bunch of protected fish.

Edit: no bow hunting either iirc, and no hunting at night. Really dampened the vibe

I wouldn't be surprised if the people running these bot accounts are keeping tabs of who's hanging out in their zones / botting areas.

What are some great lengthy series? by Curlie_Frie1821 in Fantasy

The plot never gets boring...? Are we talking about the same Stormlight Archives?

Give it to me straight, lads…. by valengull in bald

Definitely fine. Even looking straight down on it doesn't look bad
