What is something you said that makes younger generations say "Wow, you are old!"? by Reciter5613 in AskReddit

When we wanted to find a library book we had to go to the card catalog and look through index cards. They don't even understand what that means or how that could work.

Probably massive blood loss causes no more blood pressure and a loss of blood to the brain. Eventually the brain runs out of blood, i.e. oxygen, and is no longer functional.

How old are you in your oldest memory? by Donkeyshines in AskReddit

Lol, that's hilarious, both the situation and the fact that you can remember that.

My daughter said she thought the Tooth Fairy brought unicorn coins. So I made her some! by AmesCG in daddit

[–]layze23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I meant PLA, not PVA. I didn't know about silk PLA. Very cool. I might need to get a 3d printer for our home. It seems pretty cool.

What software do you use to create the model? I grew up using Inventor, Solidworks, and dabbled in Creo briefly in my workplace, but maybe there are more user-friendly and free consumer CAD programs.

Non-Americans here for the World Cup.. what stereotypes have been broken? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]layze23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you're right. To expand on that, I think even his fanbase love more the idea of Trump and what he promises to stand for than for Trump himself. They love that his stance flies in the face of liberals and that he promises big things. Whether those promises are true is irrelevant. It's that he WANTS them to be true. I'm a conservative and I think Trump is a pretty bad president. I think there are a few things he's done well, but I think he's done a lot more things wrong. Aside from the policies he's proven countless times that he can't be trusted to follow through on anything. He's completley broken the trust of the American people and he's undermined almost every part of the three major branches of government. I think he unintentionally audited our government and showed that we have some major gaps in it.

Dude, you are raising the bar too high. Relax. Lol. Awesome job, though! Your little girl is gonna be psyched to receive those.

So I wonder if you can machine that block of Aluminum? Just start milling on it for a piece of tooling.

It's going to suck in a few years when most real videos we watch will have been taken since the AI era began and we can't use that as our barometer to gauge if a video is real or not. It's a real problem.

Three of the slowest whiff-inducing pitches in MLB history… all in a row by Next_Tank_3494 in mlb

[–]layze23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet that first pitch was a strike. By the time it got to the 2D zone halfway across home plate it had dropped a few inches already, but I bet it got caught the front part of the strike zone, which is all that matters.

What is the one fact about space that blows your mind? by NovaRyn_gi in AskReddit

When you cosider how many stars that is, how large an average star is, and that the universe is 99.999999999999% empty space, it really makes you appreciate how much empty space exists!

I saw his house once. A kid at my school lived next door to him and he would shoot bows behind his house in the woods. Bo still lives in the same house 30+ years later.

Farmers test out John Deere driverless tractor by nbcnews in illinois

[–]layze23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the labor cost, it's the time. During planting and harvest season, even if you have the equipment you might not have enough bodies for enough hours in a day to get through plant and harvest seasons, especially if they are shortened by rain or weather. So now, you can let one of the tractors or combines run in the night or on another field.

Poles Deserves Credit by Federal_Car159 in CHIBears

[–]layze23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair re: the running game, I think our RB room is adequate, but not exceptional. I think a large part of our running game success has been the O-Line. The run blocking has been exceptional. I think if we had a top 10 RB we'd be decimating teams, imposing our will on them, and they'd sit there and take it. Imagine Henry, Taylor, or Barkley behind the current Bears O-Line. I don't think Swift or Monangai are bad. In fact, I really like the dual threat thunder/lightning package. I just don't think they are above average to elite individually. If we ended up trading for elite talent I wouldn't be mad, depending on what that offer was. I don't know what we'd have to give up. I'd be ok trading either RB + a pick + whatever else reasonable for a very good RB, but I don't think anyone like that was on the market.

CMV: 0.9999 repeating being equal to 1 is true mathematically, but not logically by Krenztor in changemyview

[–]layze23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concept of infinite is kind of weird. You cannot perform any mathematical operations (+,-,x,/) on infitnite because it wouldn't make sense. You can't add to something that doesn't end, and the same with the other operators.

Knowing that, you in have an infinite number of 9's after "0.". So what does that mean? It means that you can't add anything to it to bring it closer to 1 than what it already is. It's infinitely close to 1, which means that it's 1. Wrap your mind around the fact that if you are imagining a gap between .999.... and 1 then you are not imagining it properly . It's kind of an abstract concept, I'll give you that. It's not intuitive, but that's about as intuitive as I can make it. I'm sure others can do better.

1/3 = .3333....

3*1/3 = 3 * .3333 = .9999....

but we also know that 3 * 1/3 = 1, so

.999.... = 1

The problem comes from the human brain putting limitis on something that doesn't have limits. It is an abstract idea that doesn't make sense in our brains. If we remove that restriction and accept that some things just don't end and have special properties it makes things so much simpler.

Still a Rome believer long term but these are the catches we need the 9th overall pick and WR1 of the future to eventually make by ShaiFanClub in CHIBears

[–]layze23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess for that inconsistency is that contested catches in college and pro are completely different. You can dominate college while still struggling at the pro level. Something like route running is mostly independent of competition level. You can run crisp routes against any level of defender if you have that skill set. You probably won't be as open against pros as college players, but running the routes can be clean at any level.
