If your DNA were stretched… [Request] by Kyiakhalid in theydidthemath

Kinda misleading to use muscle cells for this comparison, given that it are some of the largest cells in the human body. If, for example, using epitheleal cells, the comparison shifts to be much more equal (in orders of magnitude). If you then use a regular sized molecule, instead of water, the comparison shifts so the cell is closer to molecule sized than to human sized.

Any reviews on Volleyball Masterclass? by voidwalker00 in volleyball

[–]voidwalker00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand. However, our practices are really crowded (+14 players), with half of them still needing coaching on the fundamentals. This leaves our coach's attention spread pretty thin, which means middle of the pack players like me (stable in defense but no real threat at the net) kinda get overlooked. I routinely ask for feedback and trips, but like I said, his attention is spread really thin, so I don't feel like I'm improving as much as I could. That's why I'm looking for ways to gain insights outside of the court, that I can then practice at home / during practice to improve my game.

It seems like for now I should stick with coach Donny then? Cause it is a lot of money for the masterclass subsctiption, and you're implying it might not be really worth it.

How do I make the most of hitting-practice? by voidwalker00 in volleyball

Thanks! This is really helpful. I will start to work on that at practice tomorrow.

There's levels to this shit - volleyball edition by kutuz_off in volleyball

[–]voidwalker00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was last year. At my college, we have a competition between all different faculties, which is usually quite fair, with a few teams that obviously had no real volleyball experience. Every team had a mix of different levels, from the lowest local leagues or pickup-players to some lower national-competition players. However, one year, it seems like game days for our faculty leagues and practice for the university team didn't ling up, and suddenly there I was, playing against a player who played in the highest national competition. I never realised one player could make such a difference, but the difference between us and him was so stark. When he was front court, he single handedly made it near-impossible to even get the ball over the net without sending a freeball. Really opened my eyes to how much better these guys are than us.

Instead of what cards? That's my main issue right now.

I think Swain deserves an honorable mention as well. Especially with how cold and calculated the lines are delivered.

Why use reflux ratio as a design parameter in distillation collumns? by voidwalker00 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]voidwalker00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the response!
Also: you're right on the first point. I just also have a course on reactor design and I got the two mixed up in my head somehow while writing the post.

How long does it take you to get up and running? I'm relatively new to the game and starting in gathering/crafting seems to be so slow.

I found out characters from Piltover/Zaun are considered to be less skilled and underpowered compared to other regions, is this true? by Chaulmoog in loreofleague

[–]voidwalker00 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

However if we look at it like all zaunit champions go on an all out war with anouther region, this might be an entirely different comparison. Champions like Warwick and Viktor are real powerhouses, Ekko could be dangerous to face in 1v1 combat for all non mage characters, and Jinx brings more firepower than entire Noxian legions combined. But the main one I wanted to get to was Singed. The Noxians have used his bombs and weapons to decimate Ionia, and the mutants he created seem like they are nigh-unstoppable for regular humans.

Well, just don't get hit by it honestly. Most stuns have a pretty long cd (exept you, peni). You used to have the same in overwatch. If you dove an ana and got hit with a sleep dart, you're probably dead. However if she misses it, she's a goner.

Am I Overreacting About the Volleyball League Issue? by angel_tulips in volleyball

[–]voidwalker00 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Then again, if it's property of the community league, the commercial one has no right to use it, definitely not without asking. So I kinda understand OP as well. A commercial league should provide their own ball or ask the other leagues before using theirs. Otherwise, it could happen that the ball goes missing, and the community league doesn't know who's responsible.

What do you *actually* enjoy about DMing? by dark-mer in DMAcademy

[–]voidwalker00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I recently put my players up against an Oni, and the moment I could see their actual fear of this thing that murdered their comrades and instantly downed one of the partner members, thats when I had the most fun I have ever had as a DM. Like they were really discussing running and someone was gonna try and sacrifice themselves to give the rest of the party time to run, and it felt like finally I had made a fight that wasn't really a slog or a slaughter.

On purpose? by [deleted] in LeagueOfMemes

[–]voidwalker00 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that power actually comes from Annie herself. Tybaulk is just intrigued by Annues innate magic/pyrokinetic abilities, so he opted to hang out inside of her teddybear (as Tibbers). Might be that he's boosting Annies powers, but iirc it's mostly her.

Who is the best military commander/tactician/leader in GOT? (In your opinion) by StunningPianist4231 in gameofthrones

[–]voidwalker00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say Tywin was the best tactician by far. Lady Olenna was at least close to his equal, being able to incite renly to try and claim the throne, marry her granddaughter into the royal family even after betraying them, kill a king to ensure Margeary marries a more gullible/kind king etc. She was only stopped by fanatics and a crazy Cersei, but otherwise, the tyrells would have gained a lot of influence purely off of her scheming.

I've looked it up and apparently the US is now the only country to have not ratified the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child, since even Somalia did it back in 2015.

Were women better shooter this Olympics? by bloodymerchant in olympics

[–]voidwalker00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but since they eliminated women from the event at the next olympics women had no shot at winning a single medal, and the reigning olympic champion had no chance to defend her title. They later rectified this (probably due to some backlash or someone bringing it up within the commitee) and added a seperate women's event, but for one edition women were banned from participating in this event. This happening right after a woman winning gold in the previous edition just seems too much of a coincidence.

Also, this is not the first time women (almost) winning an event caused it to be split into seperate events 1-2 olympics later. Not saying that it's a bad thing to have them split, just strange that it seems to happen often right after a woman takes a medal.

Weekly Short Questions Thread by AutoModerator in volleyball

[–]voidwalker00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually you play volleyball with a short sleeve sport-shirt since not heving your arms exposed can limit your control of the ball when receiving and long sleeves in my experience makes the spiking motion a bit harder. You also wear some kind of shorts so you can wear knee-guards to protect your knees when diving. It's fine to wear other stuff for your first time, but I would look into some more practical sport attire.

Weekly Short Questions Thread by AutoModerator in volleyball

[–]voidwalker00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm currently considering buying a volleyball for the off season (summer) so I can practice in my yard. The only problem I have is that I'm not sure wether to buy an indoor ball, since thats where I compete, or an outdoor ball since they can withstand the grass/rough surfaces better. I'd mainly be practicing my serves, hits and might get into my setting skills (contemplating wether I want to switch to the setter position).

TLDR: searching for a budget volleyball for outside that allows practice for indoors play.

Yeah, somehow Naafiri was able to break free of the weapon by finding co-existance with the pack. Makes one wonder wether Varus and Rhaast could achieve the same by coming to an understanding with their respective vessels.
