why the "Portal" and "50% Crit" problems are tHE SAME and Why Destiny Will Always Be Wrong

NoNeedForFrontTire · 3時間前

The fundamental issues stems from the fact that portals essentially are physically impossible construct which allows faster than light travel, or infinite energy generation. So trying to explain what would happen to the cube is from a physics standpoint is pretty much impossible. If we look at it from a perspective of the game, you cannot actually do the experiment in the game because portals cannot be on moving surfaces (probably a game design specifically to address having to resolve the issue)

In either case, you have a sharp discontinuity in the momentum of the object across the portal threshold, which requires an infinite acceleration or deceleration.

After this, it basically becomes an argument of which point is the one you read the momentum at, input or output, while ignoring the seemingly relative discontinuity for the experiments perspective. If the momentum is read at the input portal, i.e the cube is stationary, then the answer is that the cube will plop out stationary. If the input is read at the output portal, i.e you are referencing the cube velocity from the blue portal, it would shoot out.

My argument is that the momentum is always read from the reference point of the output portal, simply due to the ending of Portal 2, where Chell placed the portal on the moon, causing the environmental effects to manifest at the input portal and pull the air through.

If the momentum was read at the input portal, the pressure difference (i.e the motion of the air molecules at the output side), would not have carried over to the input side, and not cause the vacuum effect, because the moon would just be an extension of the earth. But because it did, that means that the effects were created based on the environment of the output portal.

So therefore, the answer B is correct, simply from the games design perspective.

Please,

go in the kitchen

and uppercut yourself

so maybee

on the way down

you hit your head on the counter

and get put into a coma

and maybe it will recalibrate your brain some

so that you can maybee hopefully

be in touch with reality more

instead of living your fantasy land

I don't even OWN a bike

lol

just

lol

Maybe if you owned a brain you would realize what you actually saw in the given video as opposed to other anecdotal evidence of different groups doing shit.

Its the same reason why first there were 512 MB SD cards, then suddenly in a blink of an eye we have 64 gig micro SD cards.

Incremental releases causes people to upgrade. Additionally, it helps keep engineering cost down, and once the money starts to roll in from sales, you can pay the engineering team to further improve the car.

Its all about business. From an automakers perspective, the only people they care about are those that are going to buy the car brand new. And those people aren't neceserally the enthusiasts. In fact, more enthusiasts buy used cars because they know the bang/buck in terms of what you get, while more regular people who know less buy new, which drives the market in a certain direction.

Honestly, while the appeal is real, I would wait. First gen cars ALLWAYS have issues that are later fixed in later years.

Although, if you could find one at MSRP, you could probably make money on one right now.

Most every gas octane rating has some ethanol for popular gas stations. You specifically have to find non ethanol gas stations in your area.

As far as octane requirement, you are fine to use 87. Its a very low compression ratio bike.

At your price range, you are looking at a chinese scooter tho.

Thank you for actually doing wheelies on it.

Can't tell you how many grom owners have I ran that were like "YEAH GROM IS FUN EASY TO DO SHIT ON", then "nah, I don't want to wheelie it or drag a knee, I don't want to drop it and break it"

People still read negative karma comments cause they love drama.

Secondly, when you are too retarded to make a point and result to personal insults, you automatically loose any credibility.

NoNeedForFrontTire · 12時間前

Ironic that you can't even make sense in your insults.

Damn, being that this is top of the line "Rally sport" designed for racing, I would expect it to have more top end punch, but if you are carrying every gear to redline, you are really using 60% of the peak torque.

The car really should have a bigger turbo to bump that torque peak higher into the rev range. This would easily give the RS 400+ hp and give it some good lap times around the track.

How does the car know if the tires are on a pavement going down a stretch of road vs spinning the tires on some cylindrical dyno tubes? How does that relate to traction control system?

Its the just the conditions on the dyno are different. Different temp airflow into the engine, different flow around the exhaust, and without the explicit definitions of how the engine management relates all of that to the control of the timing and the fuel to deliver power. They have the outside fan running to replicate the intake airflow and cool the car, but its not precise.

To really test a car for true power, you need to have it in a wind tunnel that replicates driving conditions, but that is EXTREMELY expensive.

Yeah just look at the Focus RS nurburgring tim....

Oh wait

NoNeedForFrontTire · 12時間前

performance that rivals a 5.0.

Um...

wat?

Apparently you're unable to comprehend the concept of an analogy

Oh the irony.

or see the larger point I'm making about an overworked taskforce that's busy chasing around dipshits on motorcycles, instead of investigating real crimes and property damage.

Oh jesus christ, these fucking basement dwelling neckbeards of reddit.

Do you HONESTLY, like REALLY think, that HIGHWAY PATROL officers investigates real crimes and property damage during their shifts?

Apparently you're unable to comprehend the concept of an analogy

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Oh ok ,

By that logic, please give me the keys to your car, because you may just run over someone on the street, so you really shouldn't be driving. It doesn't matter how "extremely unlikely" you think that is, the fact is that the chance still exists, so you can't take the risk.

Its probably good for what you want to do. I personally recommend the SV650 just because they are cheap.

NoNeedForFrontTire · 12時間前

I want something a bigger and faster than a 250 so therefore I am looking primarily at 400CC+ bikes.

But that is the fallacy that Im talking about. What you are saying is that you want something bigger and faster than a Ninja 250, which is fine. The problem is that you can find a 600cc cruiser that is going to be dog slow, or a 600cc supersport that is going to be balls fast. Or a 600cc single cyllinder dual sport that is going to have low end grunt but not pull much on the highway.

Do you research and look at the engine configuration differences, such as parallel twin versus single cylinder vs inline 4, and understand how it affects the dyno curve of the bike, and how that powerband makes the bike behave.

Im not so much as defending them as pointing out the retardation on this subreddit.

These guys in the video are literally doing nothing else except riding on one wheel, well under the speed limit. The fact that its against the law is really irrelevant, as plenty of people do plenty of shit against the law on the road, and most everybody thinks its no big deal.

Sure, the cops are going to chase them. But think about what is safer for the roads - let these guys continue on their way, because its EXTREMELY unlikely that they will hit a pedestrian, since there ARENT ANY ACTUAL STATISTICS readily available since the number of incidents of this happening are extremely few in number, or to start chasing them?

And what do you think is the better use of the cops time - chasing these guys, or actually doing something proactive like enforcing the no texting law, enforcing people pulling out into traffic without looking, e.t.c and so on?

The problem is people like you are basically equating them to that group of riders that assaulted Alexandier Lien in the NY incident a few years back, all because you all are just insecure and feel the need to point out how people not doing exactly what you are doing are in the wrong, all while drinking the popular "safety" coolaid like champs without a single original thought.

Its really quite clear from what people say about this to see who was raised in a safety bubble all their life and who actually is in touch with how the real world works.

Guess what, the city won't hire any more janitors, and your city will end up a trash covered shithole.

Do you have the mental capability to understand how your example of littering is NOT QUITE the same thing as using a public road without destroying or shitting up anyones property?

And many cities have strained budgets, so remember your words next time you have something stolen or damaged and it takes cops a day to show up.

Yes, because cops totally prevent things from getting stolen. Or people getting assaulted.

NoNeedForFrontTire · 13時間前

Most people do address these things when they talk about safety.

Yes, but they talk about it in a way like "Hey you should do this, its not safe to do so", rather than "OMG FUCKING SQUID I HOPE YOU GET RUN THE FUCK OVER".

Correct tools for the job, rather than trying to do everything with a set of pliers.

the chances of an accident happening are dangerously high.

Again, you say this, but yet, there is no evidence.

Its like saying, "Hey, you shouldn't be on a mountain bike with narrow tires going down rocky hills at fast rates of speed, can't you see how incredibly dangerous that is", and yet people do it all the time and more often then not actually know what they are doing and not get hurt.

And you cant control a kid running into them,

Actually, if you let your kid run wild in public, its solely YOUR fault because you are shitty parent. You are responsible for everything that happens to your kid. Likewise, you are responsible for your own safety and looking both ways when you cross the road. Traffic lights are signals, not physical barriers.

This people are breaking the law,

So does most everyone else when they go 1 mph over the speed limit.

and putting other people in danger

Again, you say this but you don't show any actual evidence beyond hypothetical scenarios

and that is something you can avoid

Sure, its safer not to do wheelies on public roads then doing them, if you just look at that alone.

But to single them out in the light of all the other shit that riders are ok with that is actually MORE dangerous is absolutely retarded.

For example, go to all your friends that ride naked bikes like yours and sportbikes, and ask them to show you how they can stop in a shortest distance possible, and watch how many of them use both brakes. That is not how you emergency brake on a motorcycle, and the fact that they are not doing that makes them ACTUALLY dangerous because they have a risk of actually not being able to stop in time and hit someone.

Or count the number of people on sportbike running sport rubber in colder weather, especially in the rain, despite the fact that it looses its traction advantage. Or how many people ride around on squared off tires, despite the fact that this greatly affects how the bike handles in corners.

If you want to address safety, then all of this shit should be seen equally bad as people doing standup wheelies.

So the person that eventually gets killed/injured because of a person stunting on a motorcycle ran a red light, or didn't stop at a pedestrian crossing isn't affected right?

Please actually find me statistics on how often this happens, specifically in US. Because everyone keeps saying that it does, but nobody ever shows statistics of pedestrian death or injury by motorcyclists.

I mean, I would honestly be ok with all the criticism if it wasn't for the massive fucking hypocrisy of the rider community. For example, the vast majority of the riders have no idea how to properly brake, and when they see a stopped car and jam both brakes and go down and end up slamming into the car, its a case of "accidents happen", with no-one ever calling them a fucking squid and wishing they would get run over because they haven't practiced emergency braking and are a danger to people around them.

But the same people have the nerve to critisize people doing wheelies, despite the fact that those stunters have WAY more bike control than the average person, because you don't just simply learn to stunt in a weekend.

your family is going to sue the police department because their special little snowflake would never show such disrespect for law enforcement.

Oh yea, because the highway patrol is there to protect us, specifically by giving out tickets solely for revenue gathering based on way outdated speed limits on roads where actually going the speed limit makes you less safe because you are going slower than the traffic around you....

The cops are simply doing their job as said in their description and the law. And that law also says that you can't really just ram the fuck out of anyone willy nilly.

Please, grow the fuck up. You don't have to participate in or encourage this behaviour, but realize that people doing stunts on public roads doesn't actually affect anyone unless you are colossal fucking looser with massive insecurity issues, and you just need an excuse to get angry at people.

I mean, people not paying attention and slamming into the back of someone in traffic, causing an accident and consequently a traffic jam are 100 times more of a nuisance to the public than these guys are. But literally nobody ever posts a picture of an accident and says "what a fucking bunch of shitheads I hope they get run over by cops".
