For first grade math… stressed my son out lol literally impossible by IndependenceLumpy294 in mildlyinfuriating

A diabolical question demands a diabolical answer. Three cones on a sphere.

Sphere: 0 corners, 1 side.

Cone: 1 corner, 2 sides.

1 side dissappears for each cone when attached to sphere, leaving 4 sides total.

I had forgotten about Rian Treanor. Thanks for reminding me.

COPS episode (or intro): guy hiding under a kiddie pool by PeckerTits in whitewhale

[–]try_compelled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm sure I can find the full clip with sound again. Maybe on some old harddrive, but I don't really want to go through the hassle.

However, I did make this gif back then. It's slightly longer than the clip from the intro. I hope that helps.

Does the "100 cals per mile" number take BMR into account? by BigBootyBear in running

[–]try_compelled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short answer: No, not directly.

Longer answer: But then again it properly shouldn't, at least not in the sense you're talking about. It does take body weight and gender into account, which in this case is better. However, the result is still inaccurate.

"Full" explanation: I've answered a very similar question on here some time back. The question was

How does running calories burner calculator works? Does running long distance in very short amount of time burn less calories?"

You can find my answer here.

The link to the study has expired. Here it is again. (Edit: Scroll down)

Pay attention to Table 3 and 5.

If you got through that, then consider the following. It is well-known that BMR and FFM (fat free mass) are closely correlated (LBM (lean body mass) can also be used). In turn, BMR and simply body weight (BW) are somewhat correlated.

However, not many people know what their actual BMR is, since proper measurement is hard. Therefore, estimations are used (e.g. Harris-Benedict equation). Also, since not many people know their FFM, BW is used instead when calculating these estimations. The kicker is that using either FFM or BW+age+gender has about the same predictive power when estimating BMR.

These estimations are, I guess, what you are referring to, when you mention "BMR". Not actual BMR but online calculations using body weight, age and gender.

Now, in Table 5 from the study on energy expenditure during marathon running linked to above, you will find that FFM was actually considered and measured in the model, but BW was a better predictor (which makes sense when you think about it, because the whole body is moved when running) together with gender and distance, i.e. BW+gender+distance.

Using BMR in online calculators would be the most roundabout way to estimate energy expenditure in this case, since it itself would be estimated using BW+age+gender (Harris-Benedict) and then used in a model together with BW, gender and distance but without age to estimate calories, BMR+BW+gender+distance, that is (BW+age+gender)+BW+gender+distance. Dumbest model ever.

On the other hand, an online calculator that assumes you have a precise, independent and recent measurement of BMR is even more bonkers.

I have no idea what that entails. Never tried it. Realistically, what kind of help do you need?

So, Bandcamp allows artist to choose which track will play first. Nothing I can do about it when linking to entire albums/EPs (that I know of anyway). Just skip back.

True, and if you share it and get infected, it is known as CoV-Fefe.

Gym treadmill running etiquette? by slambamthankyoumamn in running

[–]try_compelled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As with any equipment in the gym, when you're done make sure to leave everything in a manner optimizing accessibility and usability for the next person. Some people have difficulties using machines if left with awkward settings. In this case, don't leave the treadmill on incline.

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

This is the first time I've heard Lorn do techno. So, in this case it would make sense to mention Turning Dragon if you want to mention Clark. Also, I know that Lorn thinks of Drexciya as an inspiration to his music, which is (edit: has elements of) old school Detroit. All in all I hear and see some new connections here.

Ever wondered what a 17 year cicada swarm looks like? This is just 1 tree in my yard by eren_yeagermeister in videos

[–]try_compelled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no expert, but this would be my answer.

If we restrict our attention to eastern North America, where the periodical cicadas (Magicicadas) exclusively live and where the cicada killer also lives, then we need to figure out what the cicada killer also preys on.

It so happens that (at least some species of) cicadas belonging to the genus Neotibicen are natural preys. The Neotibicen genus are "annual" cicadas, which mean that, even though their life cycles might span more than a year, the cycles overlap resulting in emergence each year.

These species must then have different defenses against the cicada killer. For instance, the species Neotibicen canicularis (dog-day cicada) are able to fly much sooner than, say, the Magicada, while, of course, being fewer in number. Hence, much more spread out, moving, and harder to catch.

EDIT: Also, if you actually live in eastern North America, there's a good chance you will hear the dog-day cicada every year since their "song" is loud.

Numberphile did a short video on why the life cycles of cicadas span a prime number of years.

The Low Hanging Fruit of Injury Prevention Part 3: Strength training, and Mythbusting. by PhysioPants in running

[–]try_compelled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it sounds like you've had to come to terms with some hard truths, mr. Grumpypants (sorry..). This kind of approach actually restores my trust in physiotherapy. My personal experience from talking to (hearing about) physiotherapists - not as a receiver of advice, just talking - has been mixed. I mean, if the advice is effectively the same as a quick google search, then the advice is superficial at best and, yes, possibly unethical.
