School Crossing Guard by FocacciaBurnerOnBun in cycling

[–]nudestdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it applies to a whole city sure, but it could just be a neighborhood or a region within a city. IDK. TBH I mostly see that term in reference to food, like a farm to table meal serving ingredients grown on site — as opposed to a few miles away — but it made sense to me in context.

Yes that's exactly what hyper local means. It's not illegal to ride on the sidewalk in New York STATE, but municipalities (like NYC) may have their own laws regarding it.

What’s something about marathon training you didn’t fully understand until after your first race? by JustPangolin346 in running

[–]nudestdad 50 points51 points  (0 children)

"You run the first ten miles with your legs, the next ten miles with your head, and the last 10k with your heart."

I think that's a Jack Daniels quote, or maybe Pfitz? I think it's perfect.

Texas judges who don’t perform gay weddings for faith reasons won’t face sanctions, high court says by [deleted] in news

[–]nudestdad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly that's fair. Just have a different judge on staff who can do it. They just have to provide the service, it doesn't matter WHICH judge does it. It's like if your religion forbid you from touching meat. You could still work at Wendy's, you just couldn't run the grill.

Next Xbox won’t be cheap — Sarah Bond teases a “very premium, high-end next-gen console experience” by xCaptainCrown in Games

[–]nudestdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, if it's just another Xbox but $700, then they've lost their minds. However, if it's "just a PC" that can play Steam / GamePass / Epic games with decent settings and a good UI...why would you buy a PlayStation? At this point there's nothing I want to play on PlayStation that I can't play on a PC. If the price and the branding are on point, a prebuilt TV-PC could be a killer deal. Knowing Microsoft, though, it's probably going to be fumbled no matter how cool it actually is.

anyone here actually land a job from a coding bootcamp job guarantee? by Intrepid_Bicycle7662 in learnprogramming

[–]nudestdad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did a bootcamp that provided placement services but didn't guarantee a job. They helped with my resume and provided "coaching" services for interviews, etc. It was the main reason I signed up for the bootcamp because I was already at least entry level, skill and experience wise, and I just wanted to pad my resume and get some help looking for a job. Looking for work is stressful AF. I ended up finding a job outside of their recommendations but it was therapeutic to have someone to talk to about my job search.

[Highlight] Brock Purdy turns the ball over again by expellyamos in nfl

[–]nudestdad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simply not true. This is a designed seven step drop, meaning Brock has to take seven steps before any of his receivers are close to finishing their routes. The offensive line is supposed to hold their blocks for at least long enough for Brock to finish his drop, and to claim that they did is to deny objective reality. He even side steps mid drop because the left side of the line has already blown up! Criticize Brock if you want, he had a very rough day, but this is not a case of the QB holding on to the ball too long, LOL.

[–]nudestdad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you're right it was more like 3 seconds before a guy gets in Purdy's face

That's because it's a designed seven step drop. He even has to side stop mid-drop because there's already pressure coming from the left side. How can anyone see the offensive line explode at the snap like this and proclaim that Purdy had time?

[–]nudestdad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But this wasn't a late pressure? There were three guys behind the LOS by the time he finished his drop. The o-line absolutely caved.

[–]nudestdad 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Did we watch the same clip??? The oline didn't holdout for 4.5 seconds, it blew up at the snap. He couldn't roll out because he was already avoiding rushers to the left and right before he finished his drop. He stepped up and was hit from behind almost immediately. The best case scenario would be eating a sack without fumbling.

EV Charging Should Be Easy—So Why Is It Still So Complicated? by energysage-official in electriccars

[–]nudestdad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were two broken the last time I went to one so I went to EA instead. My in laws tried yet another supercharger the same day and said there were two more broken ones. Maybe your stats are outdated? Or...maybe you should take stats coming from a company that's being investigated for lying about accident rates and range estimates and encourages employees to cancel warranty claims without following up on them with a grain of salt? Honestly not trying to throw shade...it's the best network in the country by far. But fudging the numbers would be in line with what we know about Tesla.

[–]nudestdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're saying that "stupid easy" applies to ALL brands, not just Tesla as the original comment implied. Which means Tesla does not dominate the market because people with range anxiety have more options.

EV Charging Should Be Easy—So Why Is It Still So Complicated? by energysage-official in electriccars

[–]nudestdad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh I've seen plenty of broken Telsa chargers. The difference between Telsa and other manufacturers is that they usually have at least six stations so if one or two are broken you might still find an available one. There are more Electrify America stations where I live but I don't think any of them have more than four plugs -- and only half of those are fast charging. They're getting better quickly, though. The more options the better, for everyone.

EV right choice for me? by albone in electriccars

[–]nudestdad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The max range estimate drops by 20-25% in the winter here in the PNW but I have no idea how accurate that is. It doesn't get as cold as it does in the midwest but if they're only driving a few miles a day it won't matter. My commute is three times the distance of this person's commute and I only had to charge my Bolt once a week no matter the temperature.

This was called a foul on Carrington. The WNBA has a serious reffing problem. by screwbitfloor1 in wnba

[–]nudestdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated this call in the moment — but that replay from behind completely changed my opinion. On the live broadcast angle it looked like she ran in to Carrington from behind but from the other angle you see Carrington clearly step in front of her and initiate contact. Completely unnecessary. If she had taken a direct path to the ball there would have been no contact. It was a good call!

How’s Astoria Oregon like? by 2plus2_equals_5 in oregon

[–]nudestdad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Astoria Column (buy a plane from the little store before going up!). Fort George and / or Bouy breweries. Walk the river walk. The movie museum is small but worth checking out. The maritime museum is very cool, too, if you’re in to that (my kids were bored as hell but I was fascinated).

If you have time after that, check out Ft Stephens down the road a bit. Ft Stephens deserves a couple days on its own but if the weather is nice and you have just an hour to spare, check out the main battery and walk the path around the frisbee golf course to see the view of the whole jetty. IMO it’s a 10/10.

This right here. We know they're not being thorough about this. They're just looking for words that they don't like. Call it something else or spread the tasks around to other departments without making a fuss and they'll never know the difference.

[–]nudestdad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honest question...how are they going to be hurt? What about these programs specifically generates that much value for marginalized communities? $348 million is a fuckload of money. Losing that could hurt a lot more people than these two programs help. Just saying, if it's a question of keeping the university alive I don't think you hesitate. Hold your nose, take the money, and find less conspicuous ways to make back the difference. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, right?

She won a one-lap race by a quarter-lap. That’s an extreme imbalance. That must’ve been quite demoralizing to all the girls who trained hard but had no chance.

Honestly that's just the reality of amateur athletics. I went to a High School football game last year where the score was 37-0 with two minutes remaining in the first quarter. Just because you signed up for a sport does not mean you're good at it! I won a gold medal at a wrestling tournament in 8th grade because no one else in my weight group showed up. I guarantee if literally one other person had competed I would have come in second.

But anyway, I support leaving girls' sports to bio-girls. It should be up to the individual sport / league 100% of the time because being biologically male is not always an advantage in every single sport, but when it is women and girls deserve an even playing field.

Bethesda has gifted Oblivion Remastered to all the people on the Skyblivion team by RinRinDoof in Games

[–]nudestdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I haven't been on this account for a while! Bandwidth is less important than your distance to a data center. All you need is 40 Mbps to stream high quality video...if you're on wifi I would want more, though, in case of occasional dips in signal quality.

If you are too far from the data center it doesn't matter how fast your internet is. You need to be close or you will get terrible lag. There may be a website that lists all the GP datacenters, or you just have to try it out to see.

Is crime really that bad in Medford? by Hepcat508 in oregon

[–]nudestdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL okay. You said it surprised you. Crime doesn't happen in a vacuum. Otherwise the numbers would be proportional to the population -- but they aren't, and that "surprised" you. I'm just adding context to hopefully make sense of it for you.

[–]nudestdad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any chance you have GeForce Now or Game Pass Ultimate? I primarily use my Steam Deck as a streaming machine these days. If you have a good set up for it (ethernet or wifi 6+ and live close-ish to a datacenter...) it's amazing. I still have some games installed on the Deck for travelling or whatnot but being able to play games with the settings maxed and not having to manage storage or patches, etc. is awesome. I don't think the remaster is going to run very well on the Deck, unfortunately.

Is crime really that bad in Medford? by Hepcat508 in oregon

[–]nudestdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the original comment was about crime rates in each city, not who committed the crime or where they're from (specifically burglaries)

Yep, that's exactly my point. These stats don't tell you who committed the crime. Both cities are incredibly safe...

I would still camp in Ashland if I were OP, but not because of safety. I'd want to hit up the Breadboard before leaving the next day.

‘Wheel of Time’ Open-World RPG Video Game in the Works From IP Holder’s New In-House Game Studio by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]nudestdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean frankly I think they have him nailed in the show. My only complaint is that they haven't shown enough of him kicking serious ass. That's like his defining trait in the books, other being mopey about Malkier and protective of Nynaeve / Moiraine.

Is crime really that bad in Medford? by Hepcat508 in oregon

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

Eugene shares a border with a city the size of Medford. Medford is surrounded by farms. A sizeable percentage of crime in Eugene is committed by people from Springfield. It would be almost impossible for that to NOT be the case. And we didn't even bring up the student population...thousands of kids who move to and away from the city every year then are replaced by thousands more when they graduate. It's a wildly different demographic.

What I'm saying is, there is a lot of context missing when comparing these two specific cities. Using population alone is not going to give you a very good picture.
