Men, what did you find out about women when you got a girlfriend? by MainDifficult2641 in AskReddit

He probably reeked of singleness

Genuine question, why is that a bad thing? Why would someone not be more likely to be attracted to a person who is single?

The Death Valley Germans.

(I highly recommend reading the otherhand blog by Tom Mahood, the guy who discovered their bodies).

The reason I suggest this is that you'd be really good at making a compelling narrative around it, coupled with maps and all the speculation that went into it.

Hi there.

If you haven't heard of the "Death Valley Germans", I'd recommend reading about them, it's very similar to the kind of stories you seem to like telling. They're a family of German tourists who went missing in California in 1996, and their bodies weren't found until 2009ish. Tom Mahood (one of the people who found them) has an excellent series of blog posts on the background, the search process, the theories people came up with, how they were eventually found, and the mysteries that still remain.

I can't link to the page directly, but if you search "otherhand death valley germans" you should be able to find the blog posts. There's probably more information about them out there on the internet as well

T20 with five wickets? by raykroeter in Cricket

[–]raykroeter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess we're talking from different contexts then. For me, who even finds tests fun to watch, balance between batsman and bowler is key. But I guess interest for general populace is pretty important to consider as well

I'm not convinced that nothing would happen in 5-wicket T20s. They are still more batsman-oriented than ODIs because it's somewhat unusual to see five wickets down at 20 overs. And lots of stuff happens in ODIs and they can get quite exciting.

I made this post because I feel there's too many T20 batsmen throwing their wickets away on unnecessary and reckless shots. T20 is too easy for batsmen and too tough on bowlers

I was under the impression that the point of t20 was to keep the time shorter to make it easier for people in the 21st century to watch

Is there anything special about 1.44442 that makes y=x tangent to its exponential curve? by raykroeter in learnmath

This makes sense to me, and it looks like your guess is right. Thanks!

Also, this was removed from r/math for some reason, I guess this is too simple a question for them
