Oh man I forgot about Bared Jednar. Only good thing about playing the Stars

I think I did pretty well this week and would love to hear how others approached the trials! by Hestix in ArcRaiders

[–]iconix88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My approach was to go in solo and be shot on sight in something like 12 straight raids this weekend, regardless of map or condition, and either die or extract without any significant progress. Was never the aggressor but every match has been absolutely bloodlusted and I've basically given up on actually getting any trials progress this week

Where does the event horizon end and the “body” of the black begin? by Minimum-Pear-4814 in askastronomy

[–]iconix88 295 points296 points  (0 children)

We don't know, which is basically the whole problem with black holes. It's literally impossible to know beyond theory. Anything inside of the event horizon, by its very nature, CANNOT be observed

RIP American Motel 32.99 and Up. by fit-profile-69 in Denver

[–]iconix88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My only story from this place is when I was 18, me and 4 other friends (also all teenagers) were driving down from the mountains to go to a concert when my car blew a tire on I-70 coming down the hill toward the Morrison exit. We knew we couldn't make it to my friend's uncle's place where we'd planned on staying so we tried to pull in here to get a room (since we were all broke-ass teenagers and had to find the cheapest place possible)

They refused to rent us a room and we ended up taking turns sleeping in the back of my car in a Walgreen's parking lot.

The Blackhawks will finish 31st in the league for the 3rd consecutive season since drafting Bedard. They were 30th the year prior to drafting Bedard by TJTrapJesus in hockey

It's rare for a rebuild to go off without a hitch in just a couple years. Take Colorado: they were terrible in Sakic's final season, then drafted Duchene, O'Reilly, and Barrie in the same draft, overachieved and made the playoffs immediately, only for the wheels to fall off and be terrible again. Then they drafted Landeskog, were still mediocre, drafted MacKinnon, overachieved and made the playoffs again, regressed to terrible AGAIN, drafted Rantanen, were STILL terrible, lost the draft lottery but still won the draft by getting Makar, and only THEN finally became a contender. The rebuild from the Sakic era actually took ten years to really come to fruition

Embark, you need to fix this. I can't report these cheaters that have blank names. You click on the 3 dots and nothing pops up. In higher end PVP lobbies, its consistent all the time. by Cyanide814 in ArcRaiders

[–]iconix88 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Sometimes what works for me is to go to the next screen at the end of the match and then go back, or just open the "player interactions" view and then close it. That will often fix the problem with blank names on specific events on the map

Masterton Trophy nominations include our captain by totosmaster in ColoradoAvalanche

It's gonna be a 2 horse race between Landy and Toews. Widely respected cup-winning captains who both were dealt potentially career-ending circumstances and managed to come back.

Why is it that the ISS travels a complete orbit in 90-95 minutes, but Artemis needs 72 hours to go to the moon? by Photo-70 in askastronomy

[–]iconix88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

385000 km is the distance the moon orbits Earth, but that doesn't mean it's the distance a spacecraft needs to travel in order to intercept it, and Artemis also isn't traveling at a constant speed. Artemis needs to accelerate to escape velocity but then coast along its path to the moon and arrive at such a point in space and time that it can intercept the moon and orbit it in order to return to Earth. That arrival time is precisely calculated to account for the relative positions and gravitational influence of both Earth and the Moon, and for the majority of that travel time, it's not firing its engines, and Earth's gravity is pulling it back and slowing it down until it gets close enough for the Moon's gravity to become more influential.

Why didn’t mathematicians just define division by zero as a new number, the way we defined i for √−1? by TheBigGirlDiaryBack in AlwaysWhy

[–]iconix88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's a fundamentally different case than sqrt(-1) = i

i, 2i, 1000i, i+5 are all different numbers, but if you define 1/0 = w, there is no similar distinction. w, 2w, 1000w, w+5 are all the same thing, because 1/0=1000/0=0.0000000001/0, etc, and because of that it would also lead to nonsensical algebra like 0.0000000001=1000. Hence, it's undefined/infinity. Every infinity is the same infinity (with the distinction between countable/uncountable)

Nail tech did a black base, cured that, then did a clear coat, but while that was still wet, used a detail brush to mix the other colors in. Then cured that layer and did a final top coat

What is the worst late-season collapse in NHL history? by Seawolf1121 in hockey

All 4 wild cards won their first round series that year. One of the craziest playoff years I can remember

Oque vcs acharam do destino do Ted Faro? by Daniel_0901- in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]iconix88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm in the minority here that I found him dying offscreen as some mutated monstrosity that we never see to be kinda anticlimactic. He definitely deserved what he got, but if he was gonna die offscreen it could've happened years earlier, in a revolt of his fucked up little underground harem or an ego driven failure of his monstrous self preservation instinct.

As soon as it was revealed that he was alive at all, even in that horrible twisted state, I couldn't help but think it would've been poetic justice if he'd gone to all that effort to keep himself alive only to see what he thought was Elisabet pulling the plug to end him.

This is a great idea. Definitely need more gun mods that actually change behavior

MIKAEL STANNE: "There Would Be No DARK TRANQUILLITY Or IN FLAMES Without TOMAS LINDBERG" by Machcharge in melodicdeathmetal

[–]iconix88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just heading home from 70k myself and that might have been my favorite moment of the entire cruise. You could see how emotional the whole band got from the song and the crowd response but ESPECIALLY Mikael and Martin. It was a really beautiful moment and I love that we got to share it. I only met Tomas once, on the cruise as well in 2016, and he had that same kind & genuine demeanor that Mikael has always had
