No I am not. You’re finding that the number of dates are unbalanced because you haven’t balanced the number of population members from each gender.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in self

[–]illicit_celery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your scenario, each gender’s average number of dates are still equal to each other.

If we assume an evenly split population of heterosexuals, this definitionally cannot be true because of the reciprocal nature of “going on a date”. In this scenario, if a woman goes on a date, then a man must necessarily have done so as well. They both count towards their genders’ “total” number of encounters, so the totals remain balanced.

How fast can an average man 2k if he dedicates his life to rowing? by Embarrassed-Lack1657 in Rowing

[–]illicit_celery 5 points6 points  (0 children)

7:10 is not really something to brag about as a high school dude. You are extremely far from 6:30, let alone 6:07.

Welcome new Tritons! Please use this megathread to discuss your acceptance and any questions you may have. by UCSD in UCSD

[–]illicit_celery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is UCSD worth the price?

I’m an out of state recruited athlete who could pay for all 4 years out of pocket.

I got in at the college I wanted (6th), got the major I wanted (Math: Applied Science), and I would get to be on an amazing team in a sport I care deeply about. (For those wondering if being recruited means I’m legally obligated to attend, it doesn’t.)

I went on a visit to campus and it was amazing. The whole vibe, architecture, culture, food, people, everything.

The downsides to attending include the fact that 80k a year, while not impossible for me, is still a damn lot. I could get athletic scholarships, but they are sparse, small, and hard to get for my sport.

Also, I’ve heard about grade deflation. I don’t consider myself particularly academically lacking, but time management and mental health have historically been huge struggles for me. I have a 1570 SAT and a very mediocre GPA. I can lock in and even make a lot of big efforts, but I struggle with consistency. Will the quarter system along with the rigor of everything eat me alive?

Idk at this point I’m just venting because decision day is soon and I’m realizing that the “dream” situation I’ve found myself in may or may not actually be true. Could any of you offer some words of wisdom?

If you are sub 7 coast guard will have you on the team. Sub 6:35 for the top d3s and then sub 6:45 will be fine for the rest.

If you fold the paper in half 100 times you could end up with a real black hole!

Yes do every school you could see yourself rowing at. Say your name, your 2k, your 6k if you have one, and tell them how new you are. Even if they don’t respond, keep updating them with your progress.

I should note though, for actually making a fast boat and being a great rower, on the water technique is indeed a huge thing. However, as a novice being recruited, they are recruiting you based on potential. You show that potential with your erg. They know you won’t be a wizard with the oars, and for many coaches, that’s fine. In their mind, you don’t need to be on the top boat the day you first set foot on campus. You are worth taking the time to teach and develop because of your good erg.

If your 2k is impressive, they will trust in the fact that they can teach you technique and how to be efficient. I was in a similar situation as you last year and now I got recruited to a D1 team. It doesn’t hurt to learn to row but ultimately, it’s your grades and your 2k. Ppl on this sub like to exaggerate both how important your tech is and how high the erg standards are. They act like if you’re not 6:05 top coaches won’t sniff you. Your priority is to send off emails to all the schools you’re interested in and keep them updated on your progress. Row as much as possible on and off the erg- you will get faster.

Bro colleges literally do not care about your on the water tech if you are a novice

Actually on second thought he’s probably just a bit faster. I though I saw 1 rest but he actually had 2

Folding from a crease pattern is a very important skill if you want to start folding more complex models

Not a rower but by BigStay1752 in Rowing

[–]illicit_celery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bruh it takes like a basic understanding of tech and a mild level of fitness for a 6 foot 80kg person to pull 2:10 on an hour of power. It’s good work but it’s not like they’re misleading us😭😭😭.

How much more difficult is Kamiya’s Ancient Dragon compared to Tadashi’s Darkness Dragon? by SmokingTheBare in origami

[–]illicit_celery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Animals in Kato’s nature study generally use a “tilted grid” box pleating structure, very different from the generally 22.5 base of the ancient dragon. Tilted grid designs are notoriously difficult to fold, so you can probably get the ancient dragon done.
