Such a weird rule, but can't disagree with the supreme court.

I typically listen to these after taking my morning LSD, and do get some psychoactive effects. Strangely the effects are completely different if I take amphetamines or light up the afternoon crack pipe before listening.

Seriously tho, I just started to listen to this for the first time ever, and it does work as a pretty effective and non-intrusive noise blocker. Easy to ignore.

Edit: never mind the second point, the surroundings just got quieter at the same time I started to listen.

Man, I'm starting to suspect this Netanyahu guy is a real jerk.

I hope it will not be Florida of 2000 election all over again, but in a massive scale.

It's insane, Gore won by several thousand votes, if not tens of thousands.

Yeah the sub attempt scoring could be easily abused by pulling closed guard and doing things like collar chokes, sloppy arm bar attempts, triangles etc. I suppose here the concept was so new that no blatant abuse was done yet.

The idea of promoting subs more is of course in the right direction, so it would be cool to see further rulesets towards this direction. Maybe less points, only award points for the first 3 attempts, require that the sub attempt lasts at least 10 seconds or something like that. Definitely not easy to get right.

 

This tournament was an attempt by Rickson Gracie to change the BJJ rule set to make BJJ more palatable for the public.

Some highlights:

  • 3 minute rounds.
  • Pulling guard gives you -1 point, pass, mount, back mount etc. gives 1 point, sub attempt 3 points.
  • Heel hooks allowed.
  • Each weight class had 4 competitors and 3 matches.
  • Competitors included Marcelo Garcia, Xande Ribeiro, Leonardo Viera, Jacare and Rafael Lovato Jr.

It would be really cool to see something like this format take off again after the huge success of CJI.

In particular business logic that's not obvious should be documented in comments.

// Typically 1 = 1, but on March accounting wants that 1 = 2. This function makes that mapping.

Just remember to mark all the things you'd like to make better but can't be arsed to at the moment with numerous TODOs.

Hi colleague! So I found a comment in the code from 3 years ago by you saying you should "improve this". Is it planned for the next sprint?

[–] tyo_ukko@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Few of the good ones I've spotted:

(complicated business logic in messy code) // TODO: check

(...) // TODO: think about better naming

(...) // TODO: This is obviously shit and needs to be changed.

(...) // TODO: THIS IS NOT USED ANYWHERE CONSIDER REMOVING ALTOGETHER (comment made 3 years ago)

Is some make believe hurting a fragile right-wing ego again? I'll play some sad tunes on my violin, it's pretty small tho, hope it's all right.

(seriously tho, I hope you're trolling)

I don't think fusion would be as useful a technology as it would have been a few decades ago. Now renewables (wind, solar, hydro) seem like more and more as the clean and cheap energy of the future. The biggest problem of storage is rapidly being solved with batteries springing up everywhere.

The real problem with fusion is that even if it worked, the plants would be very complex and expensive. It would be much cheaper and reliable to build solar, wind and batteries instead.

Having operational fusion reactors would be cool as hell, but it wouldn't have that much impact on our lives in the end.

The youngsters are downvoting you, but what you're saying is sad but true. It's the reason Bernie never ran as an independent, he knew it would hand the victory to republicans on a silver platter.

 

Guest starring Sam Brown from WKUK, absolutely nails it.

All the words in the picture are links!

 

Mr. President! Nuclear missiles will strike our country in 14 minutes. I know it’s your first day in office so I’m going to walk you through it, but you’re the only one who can authorize our nuclear retaliation in response and you’ve only got a few minutes to make a decision!

A chilling video about the totality of nuclear war.

 

There's enough energy just in the very thin crust of our planet to run human society for hundreds of thousands of years. Getting to it and bringing it to the surface is the challenge. Now a new team of engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs, who were clearly Star Wars fans as children, has developed an immensely powerful 'ray gun' that can vaporise rocks down to twenty kilometres.

 

"I'm aware you didn't have 'watch a punishingly long video about parking' on your agenda today, but what a parking lot lacks in excitement, it makes up for in being so blunt-force head-trauma stupid, that once you learn about it, you can't unsee the damage the parked car has done to the land of the free."

Seriously, Climate Town is one of the best things we have on the internet these days.
