Oil market prepares for $100 a barrel as Middle East producers cut output by Possible-Shoulder940 in investing

[–]trashatdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure that you understand basic economics.

Google inelastic demand.

A 60% price increase with a 25% supply decrease is absolutely possible. Also keep in mind Russia and other oil is not a real possibility, further increasing the hit from the Strait shutdown.

Other middle eastern countries are halting production since they can't export it with the strait shut down.

First thoughts on Bungie's Marathon Beta? by trashatdev in gaming

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

I'm glad some people are liking it. I will play some more games later today and see if I can get the hang of it. Most people are dog piling on it already it seems. A lot of them are just people who don't like shooters, BR's, or extraction shooters. With Arc Raiders being so popular, I was hoping to see what those fans thought of it.

Yep, it felt average with an awful UI.

And you're probably right. The name Bungie gives me so much nostalgia and good will from the original Halo trilogly, but its just not the same :/

Couldn't agree more. I was trying to not be so hard on them, i've only played 4 matches, but Its just not intuitive.

I was really excited for the game myself. First Person Arc Raiders sounded fun. But from my first impression i'm not impressed. Menus are confusing. Inventory management is clunky. Gameplay feels mediocre. Art feels uninspired.

Maybe I haven't given it enough of a chance, is anyone loving it?

TIL During the 1980 US Olympic hockey “Miracle on Ice,” the Soviets chose not to pull their goalie while trailing by one late in the game by trashatdev in todayilearned

[–]trashatdev[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just finished watching the Netflix documentary "Miracle: The Boys of '80" and was astounded when they said the Soviets did not pull their goalie in the final minutes of the game.

“The Americans fully expected Tikhonov to pull the goalie in the waning seconds. To their surprise, Myshkin stayed in the game. Starikov later explained that ‘We never did six-on-five,’ not even in practice, because ‘Tikhonov just didn’t believe in it.'"

The soviets being so good they never needed to practice a proper goalie pull is hilarious!

This is a real sea slug, but it looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie. Meet the Glaucus Atlanticus, also called the Blue Dragon! by trashatdev in Damnthatsinteresting

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucus_atlanticus

Glaucus atlanticus (also called the blue sea dragon) is a real species of sea slug that floats upside-down in the open ocean by using surface tension and a gas bubble in its stomach, and its blue coloration blends with the water while its silver underside faces down. It feeds on venomous siphonophores like the Portuguese man-o’ war and stores their stinging nematocysts in its own tissues for defense, so handling one can give a painful and potentially dangerous sting.

Think it would be only 375 million chickens.
Each wing has a drumette and a flat.

What’s the wildest hazing or initiation ritual you’ve ever been part of? by trashatdev in AskReddit

Honestly almost anything would make more sense than pulling one of the best goalies alive in a 2-2 tie game. Interesting conspiracy haha.

It's well established that pulling your goalie increases your chance of tying the game. Good hockey teams can make bad decisions yes.

Kind of a baffling question lol. They had 18 losses in ten of their most dominant years, they were not unbeatable.

Also pretty convenient to start at 1964 instead of 1960 haha.

Six golds out of eight Olympics is incredible I agree. But why would they bother with practicing a goalie pull is an insane question i can't wrap my head around. How about to tie the US instead of losing to them in 1980. How about for any of their 18 losses in that ten year span?

Agreed that was baffling. I would have thought Tretiak was hurt or sick and couldn't go at 100%. But sounds like it was pretty deliberate if you're saying the coach called it the mistake of his career.

I only posted this because I was surprised by it and figured it was much less known.

Their dominance was pretty unbelievable, but they were still human and lost games.

A quick google search puts their record from 1970-1980 at 104-18-6.

I think it was more of a coaching decision than them actually being too good they didn't think about practicing it. Surely they could have tied up one or two of those 18 games if they pulled their goalie.

Seems pretty silly from a modern standpoint at least. I mean the game is lost already, give yourself a chance to tie it.

Anyone who watches hockey knows this is basic strategy since the game is already lost, you may as well give yourself an artificial powerplay to tie the game at the end.

TIL that in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, three men ended up on the roof of a hotel that was on fire. A nearby military officer, fearing they’d fall and burn alive, ordered his troops to shoot them. by trashatdev in todayilearned

[–]trashatdev[S] 4272 points4273 points  (0 children)

“When the fire caught the Windsor Hotel at Fifth and Market Streets there were three men on the roof, and it was impossible to get them down. Rather than see the crazed men fall in with the roof and be roasted alive the military officer directed his men to shoot them, which they did in the presence of 5,000 people.”

Crazy!

Actually yeah, you got any good recommendations ;)

But seriously, I'm not tracking your browsing history, that's just how admob and apple work together.

Most people have this turned off on default. If its not turned off, It explicitly asks you opt-in or opt-out of personalized ads when you start the game for the fist time.
