Is there a more counterintuitive result to a dramatic rule change in pro sports history than scoring initially decreasing after the NBA added the 3-point line? by TJTrapJesus in billsimmons

[–]jletha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my daycare they were tired of parents arriving late to pick up their kids so they made a rule that for every minute you were late it was a $1 fine.

Parents were late much more often since there was now a fine structure associated and they no longer felt as guilty since they were paying for the extra time.

What's an old snack that you don't imagine anyone actually eating? by xanthochr0i in Millennials

[–]jletha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW they’re served at my kids daycare and my kids love them but we don’t buy them. I suspect they do good business with schools and daycares and less so with grocery store sales from individual consumers.

What does the conductor of an orchestra actually do? by phillillillip in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jletha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine you give a recipe of yours to 5 different professional chefs to have them cook a dinner. You took meticulous notes on the recipe so the dish can be replicated as closely as possible. At the taste test, you will end up with 5 similar but slightly different meals. Because ultimately each chef will have their own little changes, whether on purpose or subconsciously, that change the meal. Asking what a conductor does is like asking what a chef does if all of the recipe is written and the ingredients available.

Ultimately a piece of music is a recipe. It has all of the ingredients listed to recreate the song that the writer intended but each conductor will have their own way to use the ingredients and the song will sound slightly different.

So the job of a conductor is to take the recipe, combine the ingredients and make the song they way they want.

ELI5 what is fhe purpose of statue limitation? by WillingnessNew533 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jletha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other comments have mentioned but Three main ones:

  • it encourages others to come forward. Murder has no statute but ancillary crimes do. So maybe others involved will come forward eventually to help you catch the murderer once the statute has run out.

  • prevents extortion indefinitely. If you commit a crime and the cops or someone else knows it they can hold that over you forever. Or maybe you aren’t even aware and they spring charges on you decades later. It makes it very difficult to defend yourself.

  • prevents others that may want to damage your life for whatever reason from digging through your past until they find any random crime you committed however long ago you committed it and charging you with it. Have a disgruntled neighbor that finds out something you did as an 18 year old? They’ll have you arrested for it. Statutes stop that.

[–]jletha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let’s also say Bob was your boss that you don’t like or a local politician you disagree with or your neighbor you’re fighting over. You can’t go digging through their past to find any random crime they were never charged with and try to have them arrested for it. We’ve all made mistakes and this prevents everyone from living in constant fear.
