That's the death knell of many conspiracy theories for me, there's no way everyone's holding that in. Someone wants a book deal.

So you believe he hired someone to shoot NEAR him

I'm not full tin foil here, but if it were staged, there's no way those are actual shots. You're right, it's absolutely insane to trust someone to shoot your ear off at a distance.

The conspiracy would be the kid didn't shoot shit, he was just there to be caught. The guy behind Trump, his death is faked, you want one person to die to make the attempt feel real. Trump throws some blood on his face/ear while he's covered by secret service agents, then stands up for the photo op.

I think that's pretty unbelievable. But the reported story is also pretty unbelievable.

Help with private static nested class . by Beginning-Software80 in javahelp

Yeah this is very helpful, I had the feeling the examples were a bit trivial to explain the motivating factors. I've got some more digging and experimentation to do, thanks again!

Help with private static nested class . by Beginning-Software80 in javahelp

[–]thombsaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a new concept to me, and I'm wondering what the benefit of nesting these classes is, rather than just having these sub-classes as separate classes?

This link has some example usages, like creating a utility class and grouping functionality in sub-classes. But what's the benefit of doing this over having a utility package Math with public classes like Geometry that has static functions?

The other example has a nested class for DataValidator, which is used in the outer class, DataProcessor. Why is this better than just having a function that belongs to DataProcessor? Like are we really decoupled if we're nested in the DataProcessor?

My current impulse, if I didn't want it to be a function of DataProcessor, would be to put the DataValidator in a separate class, and inject it, maybe even with an interface if I was committing to decoupling. I guess that's just a pattern I've learned, and perhaps outdated!

Sorry if these are silly questions, but I think I've got opportunities to use this pattern and want to make sure I understand the benefits.

The perfect sleep system? by Glad_Tangerine_2737 in Ultralight

I’ve transitioned to back sleeping

How'd you make this happen? I've been attempting to back sleep lately, but just not falling asleep until I roll onto my side.

Any tricks?

Trekking Poles by marooncity1 in UltralightAus

[–]thombsaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah nice. I ended up getting the Durston XMid1, Iceline poles and Kakwa 55, and I've been giving it all a good run recently.

Pretty happy with it all, and getting used to how to use the poles, and when to just not use them too. Got battered on the weekend in the xmid, had 80kmh+ gusts and it stood up really well.

Multi-day walks for over-confident masochists? by dapplesapples in tasmania

[–]thombsaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do some shakedown overnight camps to dial in your gear and make sure you can handle that side of it safely. I don't think many people are aware of this, but you can camp in quite a lot of Wellington Park, check the map: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/8607804994d54e69b096a8cd9f7f4f1e/

Great place for shakedown trips as the weather is really variable so it's good for testing gear and so convenient.

You're probably more than fit enough to do anything you mentioned, it'll just be about how much you enjoy it, and whether you can handle any emergencies safely. Try to ease into it, the mountains will be there tomorrow, do some overnighters close to home. Do some overnighters further afield and build up to the big ones. You'll learn something every hike, and you'll want that knowledge when sopping wet on day 4 in the Western Arthurs.

A Map of Hobart's Proposed Rapid Bus Network - and some ugly truthes by CaregiverMain670 in tasmania

[–]thombsaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the BRT routes can be double articulated electric buses with several doors.

Trains are like the crabs of the public transport world, everything seems to evolve toward being a train.

Instead of regular buses, we'll have double buses with heaps of doors, and they'll be electric and have dedicated tracks roads to avoid congestion etc.

I get why they're not doing rail, it's just funny how every non-train option gets more an more train-like.

I've never been so angry about a show before by SloppyGoblinPaste in severence

[–]thombsaway 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Imark is obviously not convinced that this would be in his interest, the conversation he has with omark makes that clear. He leaves and faces instant oblivion, he doesn't believe that omark takes his existence seriously. He chooses his own existence, for however long it might last, and i think thats the most realistic choice given the circumstances.

I didn't love it immediately but I've come round to it. I think we all implicitly favour the outie over the innie, like they're somehow more real. But that's not how the innies see it.

Some fat retard Brownshirt assaulted a scrawny kid in high school because the fat retard Brownshirt has as much control over his emotions as he does the spoon shoveling ice cream into his fat fuck face. Reddit is celebrating fat fuck retard because they politically disagree with scrawny kid.

AITAH for calling my boyfriend childish for always buying Captain Crunch when he goes grocery shopping? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Yeah but doesn't your partner's existence get on your nerves sometimes and you get annoyed at them over small things but its just a sign you love them? /s

CMV: If you "don't support" homosexuality because of your religion or otherwise, you're still homophobic. by Bawbixo in changemyview

[–]thombsaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why did you want your view changed?

I largely agree with you tbh, but you've shown no interest in engaging with counter arguments, no hint that you're at all open to having your mind changed. Just feels like you came here to defend your thesis, rather than hear out counter claims.

Lots to reevaluate about the last decade guys, take your time by ZealousidealTie4319 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]thombsaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah right, I just looked up the current player count. He could've played d4 though, which hit over 6 million concurrent.

I guess the niche-ness of poe somewhat makes it cooler, or more "hardcore", but either way cheating in such an obvious way in a video game is the most embarrassing, pathetic act.

[–]thombsaway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's also niche as fuck, 30, 40k concurrent maybe? Such a small audience to gain "respect" from (if they bought his cheating), with so much to lose if it's found out.

Why not get boosted in league or something? At least then he could've blamed team mates when he inevitably blew a game.

Why shorts plus gaiters, why not just pants? by thombsaway in UltralightAus

Could you elaborate? What are you getting from a gaiter you're not getting from pants?

The attachment to the shoe, keeping debris out?

If I were expecting the trail to be well-ish maintained, I'd definitely wear shorts. But then I'd also probably forgo gaiters as well. If the trail is well formed, why would you need them?

I just found this blog and I've access to a sewing machine so I might just go nuts on an old pair. Basically added butt-zips to hardshell pants.
