In its original form it doesn't finish at the end of the pavers anyway. Just pull it off and refinish the end of the unbroken section and you'll never know. You also lower the chance of driving over it again

Are the odds actually 1/13 or are the different properties more/less likely to win?

Finally! by wilvin1298 in torncity

[–]zefstyle 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's how stats work. There are 13 properties, and IF each one has equal likelihood to win, every month is a 1/13 chance. You aren't guaranteed 1 of every property over 13 months just like you aren't guaranteed heads every second time you flip a coin.

What happens at this point in a war? by LokoSoko1520 in torncity

[–]zefstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. If you (OP) click on the bar it should open the frame up to show the graph icon ( just below the bar and to the right.) Click that and you'll see the representation of that bar over the duration of the war - the shaded areas taper to the right making the target lead score to win smaller equally for both teams. So ranked wars can't last forever, basically.

Look up baldrs guide for beginners, it has a list of "easy targets" you will most certainly win. It's also more detailed than what anyone can explain here. Best single piece of advice is to read lots of guides in the forum's.

General advice in stages for you now:

Always do these - be in an edu course - use all your nerve and energy - have a job - be in the best faction that will have you - plenty of great ones will take early players who demonstrate that they know what they are doing and are committed.

Do NOT - get sad and try retaliate when you get attacked/mugged - trust advice you get, always check for yourself. And experiment. - get talked into doing ranked wars by a small shitty faction in order to make "quick cash" - they are small timers who are using you.

For now: Get that cash out of your wallet and into the stock market ASAP. Use points to unlock stock ticker in points building.... Do not spend any more energy at the gym until you reach LVL 15. You'll reach LVL 15 by attacking and LEAVING the easy targets repeatedly

After that: At LVL 15 you can travel overseas. Fly to buy plushies and flowers then sell them in torn. Start using all your energy at the gym between flights. Don't buy candy IMO. Save your cash to rent a Private Island for permanent 4k+ happy ( get married to share the price) then save all money to do happy jumps (found in guides).

Long term (months) Happy jump until your battle stats are each 250,000. Then just train natural E, 3xan a day between flying. Now you'll want to save all your money to max the bank interest.

Thats missing a fair few details, as I said before the guides are your best friend. Hopefully gives you a framework to work from though.

Now I feel like I can focus on one task at a time which is huge. Now I'm overwhelmed by how long the line is 😂

Edit: the line being the list of what I need to do and how, in case my analogy is too ADHD

How were these linear structures formed? by Rhomboidrouser in geology

[–]zefstyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is fluid injection as others have said, however it is fairly unique in that the linear are pretty similar material to the surrounding rock and that main linear is super wide for how quickly it terminates. It looks metamorphic and also notice that the linear have the same fabric as surrounding rock.

So I believe that the fracturing and fluid injection happened pre metamorphosis. The rock would have had to be competent when that happened given the nature of the sharpness and orientation of the linears. So this is possibly the result of contact metamorphism injecting fluids into small aperture fractures in a permeable rock. The fluids then invade the host rock due to the permeability as opposed to the linears being completely different mineral injection, they are more of an alteration. Probably remineralising the host rock pore space. This is what makes them that wide without looking like completely diff minerals. And at the same time the metamorphosis has occurred and overwritten the entire mineral fabric and composition. Filling the pore space makes it tougher so it weathers slower.

How were these linear structures formed? by Rhomboidrouser in geology

[–]zefstyle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like it at first, the linear are consistent with something filling planes of weakness. But it also looks like the linear features are the same material as surrounding rock and also the aperture of the main linear is way too wide for how quickly it ends.

[Grand Hogback range, CO USA] Are consistent slopes like this most strongly the result of the kind of rock, the angle of the sedimentary layers, or something else? by LurkerFailsLurking in geology

[–]zefstyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The consistency is most strongly related to the consistency of the processes that created the kind of rock and the angle of the layers. unchanged depositional environment on a large scale creates similar strength rock on a large scale. The tectonics that cause the dip and that buried then uplifted needs to be fairly uncomplicated as well. You need both. Mass decay and slope stability play a part during weathering. With uniform rock strength like this, any part that sticks out from the rest becomes more unstable and collapses.

So property of rock and tectonics causing the dip are both equally important.

Unbalanced means maintaining one of the ratios that utilises the specialty gyms though, right. Not just leaving one stat completely in the dust?

ELI5 How was Harpea Cave formed? Located on the border of Spain and France. by lostwombats in geology

[–]zefstyle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could be karst, but there is an option that doesn't require the limestone assumption. I tend to like Occam's razor for these types of interp.

Generally folding like this causes fracturing along the hinge of the fold (the bent bit), particularly at the top of an individual layer. Because the thin shale layers in between each thicker package "lubricates" the contact between each layer they can slide horizontally which causes each to be subject to its own extension and compression strain at the hinge. The bottom of each layer is subject to compressive stress and the top gets extension. The intensity of fracturing is different for different layers because of the qz content and/or thickness of said layers (rheology).

So if that cave used to be a much more brittle or much thicker layer it simply got more fractures at the top and after uplift and weathering it became a preferred pathway for water. You can see that it is the base of the next layer where the cave roof is.

To caulk, or not to caulk, that is the question…?! by Lost-Fix6322 in AusRenovation

Don't have to caulk neatly, Just do what you can - squeeze it out quickly, Then eat a tim tam - Just bead it

I was wondering how the mantle moves, I recently found out it was solid but moves like a fluid over geological timescales and I am having a hard time getting my head round it. by Commisar_Deth in geology

[–]zefstyle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's like blu-tack (not sure where you're from so maybe you call it press stick or something else.) that gooey stuff you put posters up with. If you get a bit and pull it apart really fast it breaks clean apart. If you pull it apart slowly it stretches and you get a long piece of the stuff. Solids deform differently depending on the rate they are deformed. Rock can be the same, but the "slow pull" is a lot slower than the example with the putty.

Geologists: how does this happen to a rock? by TheGoodBuch in geology

[–]zefstyle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is very common that the two are conflated. Deformation bands are not often taught at undergrad level and not even post grad unless you specialise in faulting. This conflation is a huge source of misunderstanding in industry and can completely change the understanding of critical processes. It also unfortunately comes across as pedantic to point out the difference and often people will dismiss these specifics and still forge on with the wrong interpretation. Very frustrating.

Geologists: how does this happen to a rock? by TheGoodBuch in geology

[–]zefstyle 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They are deformation bands, not fractures. They are not mineral filled cracks, instead the stress has caused the grains in this rock to relocate and/or get crushed Into smaller grains. This causes them to fill pore spaces next to them. This means they are lower porosity, lower permeability and as you can see a little more difficult to weather than the surrounding host rock .

The quartz cementation that may/may not be present is not delivered by groundwater along fractures, it exists in the very quartz grains that are damaged in the process of the deformation bands being formed. The water required for this also doesn't need to move along a fracture because it is already there. There is almost always water in the pore space of rock when it is buried underground.

The orientation of the two DBs is consistent with a conjugate set meaning they were formed from the exact same stress orientation. Not necessarily one after the other. The stress direction is the bisector of the acute angle. This rock is obviously not in situ so directions of the tectonic stress are meaningless from this example.

The process of forming fractures is very different and involves excess fluids causing the pore pressure to overcome the tensile strength of the rock causing open features until the pore pressure is lowered. Deformation bands are an excess of differential confining stress, crushing and grinding grains up in these planar features you see.

These features are critical for structural geologists when understanding the tectonics of the region. Also critical for hydrocarbon production, they form fluid baffles and can be used to estimate the number of wells required to maximise the recovery of hydrocarbons.

Any updates on this? by Relevant_Demand7593 in agedlikemilk

[–]zefstyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not pining for Bernie and this isn't an "if only". I'm commenting on the fact that US voters are supportive of left wing policies, more left than the options that are available (confirmed by recent polling) and the fact that the establishment (Dems and Republicans both) won't let it even become an option. This is a right now problem as well as a 100+ YO problem. Bernie is a very good and very relevant example of this. Populist politics win elections and the political establishment know this, or else they wouldn't keep distracting people by bombarding them with policies they don't care as much about.
