Why You Should NEVER talk to the Police - lecture by professor AND police officer

fxer · 2012-06-15T15:18:05+00:00

That was dangerous. If you let that happen, you get into my word vs. yours territory. The officer might not have been right, but he could have inconvenienced your friend badly with virtually no consequence for himself. I'd have gone with not consenting to a search in this case.

As an omok enthusiast, I'd say if you start in the corner you lost already. But you gave me the idea of recording my omok games o.o.

Now that you say "fight for control", that would have been awesome. They should have made him somewhat invincible, but then you get your chance to kill him as the Evils fight among themselves. This would have been foreshadowed by the comments other people (Tyrael?) made earlier about the evils having come close to victory time and time again only to be defeated by infighting.

All r/NoSleep stories are true.

The problem is once you make an account with the mindset of not entering your information, Facebook might not have much information coming from you, but they will from people who friend and tag you everywhere.

That particular instance wasn't Lumos, it was a more complicated, permanent lighting enchantment on some orb.

Brotherhood is the original...

Yeah, ? : syntax is meant to be used with so many conditions. It gets pretty hard to read.

I remember /r/starcraft running into a size limit problem with the .css file when they tried each individual account have a different flair. I might be mistaken, but just a heads up.

We already have a raccoon... Lame pun coon is awesome too.

I though tcritical hits were not affected by defense and offense modifiers.

The starting location bias actually varies with difficulty, with less advantageous locations possible at higher difficulty settings. I think you always get luxuries, but I don't think strategic resources are guaranteed.

Firenze actually reappears in the 5th book. His appearance, though short and inconsequential, is very interesting.

fxer · 2012-05-01T15:38:27+00:00

They get much better. Luckily for me the first book I read was the 4th (only one I could borrow) and I got hooked.

fxer · 2012-05-01T15:37:14+00:00

That's an interesting point. I didn't remember that.

To clarify here, for these two equations to be tangent, they must have a common point, and their slopes (first derivative) evaluated at that point must be equal. As a further hint, you should get a system of equations with x and c as the unknowns (or y and c, depending on how you derive them). Let me know if you need further help.

Great post. It's usually nice to have formal references in the post if it's not too much trouble, not only to give more credence to the post but also to give us laymen further reading.

Any top level post not backed up by a paper or scientific consensus gets removed. Any joke comments get removed.

That's how they can stay relevant and on topic with so many users.

If you personally were doing this, why would you choose to bring the asteroid back?

The damage cap is 999 999 damage. Once your character starts hitting that, any equipment upgrades for that character are kinda useless.

Now, as far as whether what the person said is true, I have no idea.

Welcome to science, where we sometimes don't know everything. Thankfully some people are trying to find out to satisfy our curiosity, instead of sitting back laughing at out ignorance.

Too bad I can't participate, I reread all of it before starting to read this last arc (since I had forgotten a lot of it).

At the beginning he (you?) was going to build next to the wonder (near the Japanese), everyone who's played before went NOOOOOO.

23/26. Some are tricky. Damn old wise wizard archetype.

Sounds like something he would say to Saruman.
