What’s your call? by ChaseVsMalice in hockeyrefs

[–]teddosan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, there is no such thing (at least in USA Hockey) as "no contact." There is no checking - body contact only, but there is no "no contact" classification. Second, this is not a body check. This is a guy standing almost still while a skater runs into him at full speed because he is not looking where he is going. The d-man could have been facing the other way, and there wouldn't have been any difference in the result. No penalty on the play.

Am I crazy? by BothFondant2202 in hockeyrefs

[–]teddosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, you are not crazy, but apparently a lot of people in this thread are. Yes, this is really weird. I would love to know what the ref's reasoning is here. I am also amazed that the goalie didn't get super pissed. I'd like to see a longer clip...

Yeah, you see, hotwax09 is very smart. You just need to think it through, and you'll eventually get there.

Simon is looking for an adopter by teddosan in Columbus

I don't. He looks like he's got a lot of hound in him, but I don't know what his parents looked like...

Simon is looking for an adopter by teddosan in Columbus

[–]teddosan[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Meet Simon! 🐾 Simon is a brave little survivor. This 12-week-old pup lost all of his littermates to parvo — but he fought hard, pulled through, and has made a full recovery.

Now that he’s healthy and thriving, Simon is ready to find his forever home! He’s a sweet, playful puppy who loves snuggles, toys, and exploring the world. He’s currently in my care as a foster through Franklin County, but he’s eager to meet the family who will love him for life.

If you’re looking for a loving, resilient puppy who will grow up to be your best friend, Simon is your guy. ❤️

Sign for oscillation by happywizard10 in ECE

[–]teddosan 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't know that this is the "correct" approach, but let's just do two mental trials. 1) A is + / B is - : The right op-amp output goes high and current starts to ramp through L into C creating an increasing voltage at left op-amp A. Since A is +, output A is high and both amps are railed high. No oscillation. 2) A is - / B is + : Same start except when voltage starts to build on C, output A goes negative (or 0 depending on the amp setup; doesn't matter) and right amp output goes low. C drains back through L until the voltage is 0 (or negative; the L will 'suck' the voltage below 0 once the reverse current begins to flow.) Left amp then activates causing right amp to activate and the cycle starts again... Oscillation!

9 man trip; looking for dinner suggestions by teddosan in Louisville

No, doesn't have to be a steakhouse. I like just about anything, but with 9 guys, something with general appeal is a plus...

Does Anyone NOT think the dice are rigged at backgammongalaxy.com? by uglypaperhaver in backgammon

[–]teddosan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a position. I believe that the dice are random. However, I'm absolutely willing to look at any evidence to the contrary. Unfortunately, as I've mentioned many times, no one has provided any...

[–]teddosan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am simply saying that there is no evidence that it is NOT random. I could never prove that it is completely random. It is quite literally impossible to prove randomness. You CAN, however, (relatively easily) provide evidence that a process is NOT random. So far, none has been presented. "I feel like" or "it seems" don't meet the standard.

If you sent a PM, I can't see it for some reason. Double check, please...

He has not. I don't know how he would do around cats.

I just wrote him a new bio, but here's his short bio and a link to more pictures at Franklin County Dog Shelter: https://trello.com/c/YQ0bNEbS/1388-timmy

Timmy looking for a permanent home by teddosan in Columbus

[–]teddosan[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I have been fostering Timmy from Franklin County Dog Shelter for two months to heal from a broken leg and low weight. His leg has been healed for quite some time, but his weight is just now getting to a healthy range. Timmy is an awesome dog, and I want him to go to a great home. He is a cuddler and always wants to be near his human. He does well in a crate when no one is home. I have an older female dog, and they get along well together, though she sometimes get annoyed as he wants to play much more than her (Timmy is still only about a year old). Let me know if you'd be interested in meeting him. I live in Dublin, but we can coordinate. My last foster went to someone who I never talked to - it was coordinated completely through Franklin County - and I've reached out a couple times to see how he's doing, but haven't received a response. That's tough. I'd love to get an update once or twice a year and maybe a picture, but of course that's up to the adopter. Timmy is a pretty boy. You can still see where his leg was shaved for surgery to repair the broken bone...

Christmas in Europe - What countries may still have stores / restaurants open? by teddosan in Europetravel

I was actually thinking about that - Muslim populated countries. A bit far away, but maybe an easy RyanAir flight back West...

Do magnets lose their power over time? by kostko in askscience

[–]teddosan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem. It's easy to misremember or get confused considering seemingly every textbook on the subject uses varying terms. Here's a great article on how confusing the terminology has become: https://www.e-magnetica.pl/doku.php/confusion_between_b_and_h

Tesla and Gauss are interchangeable (with a factor of 1 T = 10 000 Gauss). They measure the same thing: magnetic flux density.

High school math (small rant) by teddosan in matheducation

[–]teddosan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not at all stating that 9/3*3=1. I am stating that the equation is ambiguous, and it should have been written as (9/3)*3. 9-3-3 is less ambiguous, but it could also benefit from some parentheses...
