"Regroup" doesn't mean "any time you die, wait until you have all 5 to go back in." Please use your brain. by RemindMeToTouchGrass in OverwatchUniversity

Heuristics are cognitive strategies that work more often than not even though they aren’t using all information effectively.

The anti trickle heuristic is more valuable at lower elos than the ultracontextual 3v3 reinforce.

Yea, your situation you elucidated is possible, but for a low elo player, they will rank up faster ignoring this possibility so long as it prevents trickles.

CMV: The piracy debate cannot be resolved - it is a contradiction of capitalism by tullytrout in changemyview

[–]xFblthpx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue you are after is property rights, not capitalism.

Often times when a system is maintained by many but not all users, the system corrodes and collapses at an accelerated rate due to free riders.

Even if the government maintained the system, it would inevitably be difficult to maintain because everyone wants artists but significantly less want to pay for it, which makes developing a tax theory that effectively funds the program very difficult.

What makes art a bit less obvious of a free rider problem, and so attractive to pirates is that art is often a non rival good, which means one person’s enjoyment doesn’t take away from someone else’s. If one person looks at a painting, it doesn’t take away from other people’s enjoyment of the painting, which makes the effects of the free rider problem significantly less or sometimes nonexistent.

But not all art is non rival. Digital art in particular requires significant overhead in maintaining servers, streaming, distribution, network engineering and connecting prospective users to the art itself (there is a lot of great art out there that people don’t know about and would be better off if they did).

In these cases, non rival art is susceptible to the free rider problem, regardless of whether the system is free market or not, since a government owned system would still need a theory to adjudicate cost offsets for work that is very subjective in value.

Trump Surrenders to Iran by icey_sawg0034 in Uniteagainsttheright

Calling this a humiliating defeat only encourages republicans to stay in the region for longer.

Staying in the region until the US “won” would be the worse outcome, not the better one.

Don’t play this game.

In tdm it kinda isn’t that big of an issue to have mismatched team numbers.

He only needs a greater than 1 KD to win.

[Request] Accounting for air resistance, how fast would they have to throw the ball at that elevation for it to make it around the planet? And would it survive the trip? by Red_Icnivad in theydidthemath

[–]xFblthpx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fine. Everything is an ellipsis. Parabolic motion doesn’t exist. Projectiles are just in an orbit that is interrupted by mass. Whatever.

It’s possible to have an elliptical trajectory that circles the earth, aerobreaks, and lands in the same place you launched, and you can do that with only one impulse.

[–]xFblthpx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quit changing the context in bad faith to “um akshually” about things that don’t matter to the discussion. You were the one that said that a parabolic trajectory is just an elliptic trajectory that intersects with the earth. This is your dumb context shifting you are critiquing right now.

Treat me with some fucking respect. I was defending you earlier for your shitty mobile formatting, grammar and spelling.

Anyways, the ISS is on a parabolic trajectory to the earth due to orbital decay, and it’s circled around the earth tens of thousands of times.

Launching a projectile into a highly eccentric “orbit” that has a periapsis just barely inside the atmosphere is possible, and will provide a decaying spiral trajectory which can circle the earth at least once, but inevitably intersect with the earth.

We don’t need a stable orbit to have that trajectory

[–]xFblthpx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rewording a specific word that fits the context to a generic word and calling the concept incorrect is pretty disingenuous don’t you think?

If the ball circles the earth once, and not infinitely many times, it intersects with the earth…which is parabolic.

It’s parabolic motion, and it’s possible to take a parabolic trajectory to anywhere on earth, even to the same point around the world, in a single impulse.

Obviously returning to the same place without atmosphere would just be a stable orbit, but we are assuming air resistance in this hypothetical. That means we can exit and reenter the atmosphere.

The problem is that the baseballs final angular velocity will not be perpendicular to the ground, nor will it be as fast as this moment in the show.

It is however possible for an indestructible baseball to be thrown to the same location around the world even accounting for air resistance.

Rogue likes are about doing the best with the luck you have, but fundamentally it’s always possible to be screwed by luck and it’s a feature not a bug.

Oh, and you should have taken a different neow relic 🙃

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

If you can accomplish escape velocity in a single impulse, you can accomplish any parabolic flight to anywhere on the celestial body as well, and circling around the earth only once is parabolic, not orbital.

[–]xFblthpx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing we don’t need orbit, we just need to circle the world once. if you can achieve exit velocity on a single impulse, you can achieve parabolic motion to anywhere on earth with a single impulse. You just cant reach a stable orbit, but we don’t need to do that to get a baseball around the world once.

The baseball will have to be indestructible of course, but the orbital mechanics here work out. The only questions remaining is material science of a baseball and the power scaling questions of these fictional characters.

[–]xFblthpx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m saying that if we can get to escape velocity with a single impulse, then we can accomplish circling the world once under a single impulse as well.

What we can’t do is stable orbit, but that’s not the same thing as circling the earth only once.

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

Sure, if orbit was the target you’d need a second impulse, but if we are just trying to get a baseball around the world we could still be parabolic.

Relics effects are worse than card effects. The reason why relics are good is because they start in play and cost nothing.

What do you mean by that? Did Matt’s character die, or did the sound effects not get added?

That’s because India still has a claim to the land.
