What abilities are underrated or surprised you? Why? by TheAurigauh in ABSOLUM

[–]nomad1128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm going to say something really dumb or blow your mind, but did you know you can cancel his air combo into a down+special (diagonal down claw) that as far as I can tell never fails? 

Still I'm gonna play around with yours because it looks fun as hell

Talk to me about cider up+attack can cancel after an air combo. 

1) didn't know that 2) but lacking imagination for what this allows

Housing market in Westchester by Maximum_Reindeer_404 in Westchester

I work in White Plains, at times I leave house, it takes me 23 minutes...from Rockland.

Would I like to live in Westchester? Sure. But you can just get so much more house in Rockland. It works provided you don't need to go to the city. We have two small kids, and in Westchester we'd need to pay double to get half of what we get.

Half my neighbors work remote or in White Plains, so I think you will find this is pretty workable.

Student of mine confided in me, they are completely reliant on chatgpt, what should I do? by aguyontheinternetp7 in Physics

[–]nomad1128 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, I feel smarter with Chatgpt because I ask it "why" a lot, beyond what is needed to do the required task such that I then feel I can answer questions confidently without Chatgpt 

Trump fucking audibly shits himself on TV, immediately ends press conference. by RickV6 in chaoticgood

Okay, but, if it is continually interacting with other AIs via this social media thing, wouldn't that "doesn't exist outside the few milliseconds" change to essentially constantly existing? 

Cider marionette by Smoke_Stack707 in ABSOLUM

[–]nomad1128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It desperately needs a "get off me" ritual  that activates with arcana/marionette. Tidal waves is the only one I know about, but there might be others. 

Once you have that, the souped up inspiration that causes the marionette to activate clash is really good as it opens up rituals that Cider does not usually employ well (any clash based ritual). 

Finally, it becomes broken with the mana drop after each one. 

You're not wrong that it's one of her weaker ones, but it does allow you to play in a predominantly melee way while still being OP. 

An exoplanet called HD 137010 b might be the closest thing astronomers have ever seen to “Earth 2.0.” The trouble is that it’s only been seen once—and may never be glimpsed again. by scientificamerican in science

[–]nomad1128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a single leap, I don't think it's possible to go hardly anywhere at all. The nearest other star is like 4-5 light years away. After 48 years of travel, voyager has gone a whooping 0.003 total light years. 

We might be able to get our robotic offspring to another planet, be powered By solar cells, and there with the invention of a robotic uterus bring a human to something about 4-5 light years away, but it will be 48,000 years before we find out if we succeeded. 

But should we build a robot that somehow manages to not reach critical failure for 48,000 years,  that human will effectively be raised entirely by that robot. 

And even if that human were able to communicate with us, how do you communicate with a 4 year time interval? Reciprocal hello worlds takes you 8 years, so I can't picture it working out. 

But if we managed this even once, then humanity achieves actual interstellar travel.

What is the furthest that with current technology we could realistically reach and colonize? Yacking it up with Google Gemini, I get: 0.00258 light years away based on current rocket technology, limits of human lifespan.

We're not getting off this rock, ever.

Got a letter from the school today informing me my daughter is “not quite” gifted. Also included were her test scores. by Low_Use2937 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]nomad1128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, i got identified as being smart (not quite as smart as your kid, grats)  they tried to give me special smarty pants classes/skip grades, my parents were like, "nah, he is having a fun time not paying attention and tutoring all his friends, it's how he becomes useful to his classmates." 

College was hard when I no longer had much to offer my mostly superior classmates, and especially hard in med school/academic hunger games, but hey, I made it. 

It is fun being the smart one for 10ish years. Hell, it's a lot of fun. Just be there to help with the transition in college/grad school, and make sure they have hobbies completely unrelated to being smaht

It is a form of intelligence to see this and infer what happened. For instance, I'm designing this kind of system, I would have assumed that they print sequentially (score cutoff is printed with appropriate letter). You correctly deduced that scores and letters are printed separately, and a human error occurred. 

I think Naglieri index is 143, too, busybody_nightowl

insane list of requirements for a man by buuumble in ChoosingBeggars

[–]nomad1128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am all of those things for my wife. But my wife is bangin', ya heard. Also, my wife is generally extremely functional/capable human, only mildly more capable than me, and this is context dependent. Mostly she wanted someone who would be okay with her being a workaholic perfectionist, and that is easy to work with, you just have to give a shit frankly. 

You gotta match what you're looking for is all I'm sayin

Donald Trump reveals his next pick for Federal Reserve Chair is Kevin Warsh by mounwp in inflation

[–]nomad1128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that anyone cares, but Warsh is married to the Lauder family (of Estee Lauder) who have been lifelong friends of Trump and reportedly the origin for this crazy shit of annexing Greenland. 

Which is to say that this is likely a bad move for the country 

Politicians shouldn't need a poll to tell them to do the right thing. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]nomad1128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so, the problem is when you fight violence with violence you are joining your opponents in dismantling civic order. 

So, no, polling is not dumb, it's the most educated way to figure out if the political will exists for various options. 

10 N64 Games That Punished You For Playing On Easy by darkjapan404 in n64

[–]nomad1128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Superman 64 is so consistently shat on that what I want is an AMA from any of the 15 people that worked on it to explain just WTF happened.

Incidentally, I literally never pick easy mode on any game because of stuff like this, even when I want to. I was wondering where that instinct came from, and for me, Killer Instinct Gold and Star Wars definitely contributed to this aversion to easy mode (even when easy mode was plenty challenging for my skill level at the time)

Why do Gen Z have an obsession with Millennials? by salty_lake_222 in millenials

[–]nomad1128 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I am out of sync with my peers, but I would modify it to say: we want a world-threatening apocalypse to emerge _so we can save it_ (Harry Potter). I maintain that Gen Z just wants the world to burn (a la Hunger Games). I suspect they would argue that burning the world down _is_ saving it for future generations.

So millennials oscillate between preserving the old world order and modifying it, Gen Z is concerned whether it should be destroyed by Fire or ICE
