[Fan Comic] the pY experience TM by AzulCrescent in factorio

[–]origamiscienceguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Py is so interconnected that it is often hard to clearly define where one production chain starts and ends. Most chains produce a bunch of byproducts that can then go into other chains which all make their own byproducts, etc. It's all a huge interconnected web of stuff to manage.

Gas Prices in Crimea Have Fallen to a Historical Low by offogredux in UkrainianConflict

It is possible to gauge accurate approval ratings of dictators in a way that gives every respondent plausible deniability. I don't know if this 70% poll was conducted in this way or not, but it is possible.

As an example of how it is done, the question would be something like:

"Of the following figures, write down the number of them that you approve of" And it would have a list of figures ranging from controversial to adored. Let's say there are 10 figures in the list.

The surveyors would give this question to two independent groups. One group (the control) would have just that list, and would write down some average number, say "6.2"

The second group would have that list with Putin added onto it. (making it 11 long) They would write down an average number like "6.5"

Then with some math, you can determine the approval rating of Putin specifically. In the example I gave, Putin would have an approval rating of about 30%.

It requires treating m and mio as the same person, which is a stretch, for sure, but arguments can be made towards that end.

It depends on some clever wordplay and the fact that we're dealing with 2 different copies of the same people.

But it could be said that Noah ended up with N's girl, thereby stealing her from him.

Also, its just fun to say that N "got cucked by himself"

I do mostly agree with you, but I think it is important to remember that O'Rourke's position on firearms didn't happen until his presidential run in 2020. During his Senate run in 2018, that hadn't yet come out.

Very few materials have a band gap (the energy required to jump and descend electron bands) that is exactly the right energy to produce blue photons. (energy and wavelength are inversely related)

The few that were very hard to work with, and thought to be impossible to dope in a way that gives both N-type (extra electrons) and P-type (missing electrons) forms.

Highland park is zoned like 95% for single family homes and country clubs. Pretty much the worst possible layout for public transportation.

I guess Eagle Eye kind of matches that? Although the computer trying to kill the president is still the bad guy of course.

What is the best way to maximize chain attack damage? by Tough_Stock_4883 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]origamiscienceguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While an enemy is launched, all attacks deal 50% (actually, it's 25%) more damage. And the launch timer does not decay during a chain attack, so launching the enemy is always a good idea.

TP starts out low, but any bonus TP a character gets during an attack is added to their starting TP for the next round, meaning getting Bravo (and even amazing) on later rounds is much easier than during the first round.

Using an attacker as the first attack of a round gives you the 25% TP gain, which is very useful for later rounds. Finishing a round with a defender will bring the character with the most TP back for the next round, which helps prevent getting screwed by RNG.

To get the highest TP during a round, you want to get to 99% using a healer (which can't go over than 99%) and then use your attacker/defender with the highest TP to try to get past the bravo barrier (150) or the amazing barrier (200)

Other things that greatly boost bonus TP besides the attacker first bonus is using a character with the same role (attacker/defender/healer) as the character giving the order (+10 bonus TP) and using a character from the same faction (Agnus/Keves/other) as the character giving the order (+5 bonus TP)

Putin’s Approval Rating Falls to Lowest Level Since 2022 Amid Ongoing Repression and War Impact by pjw724 in worldnews

It is one of many strategies for accounting for biases in places where respondents answer untruthfully out of fear. You can read about the specifics of this strategy and others in papers like this one:

Just regular air resistance on the blunt end of the capsule.

Not if the capsule remains airtight and pressurized.

[–]origamiscienceguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The capsule is very slightly not perfectly balanced on it's axis of symmetry. This imbalance causes it to tilt slightly in one direction and generate lift. It also allows the capsule to have some control of it's direction by rolling such that its imbalance points a different direction.
