College Football Playoff Committee Shuts Down Contact Page After Outrage Over Florida State's Snub
  • the stupidity of college football is a non-negligible part of it's charm

    100% and I feel like the bowl system was a much better reflection of this than any playoff will ever be. The ridiculousness of 2+ schools claiming the same titles on a regular basis, and everyone else mostly agreeing both claims are valid but still bickering over which is more valid, was a big part of the sport's charm.

    Professor plagiarizes prostate cancer imaging review paper and blames ghost writer.
  • No, ghostwriting is not plagiarism. Done correctly, there is nothing wrong with it. Hard to argue this professor did it correctly

    Nebraska planning a $450 million renovation of Memorial Stadium
  • That's my assumption as well. New and renovated stadiums/arenas/etc. Are almost always funded by local taxes, despite the teams/promoters/etc. Who reap all the benefits being rich enough to build their own facilities. They hold communities for ransom and promise trickle-down economic benefits that never materialize.

    Lincoln specifically botched this with the new arena a few years back. They raised the property value around it so much that businesses couldn't afford the rent. At least while I was there, the area was usually half-empty buildings. And the extra sales tax to pay for it hadn't gone away several years after it supposedly would.

    Nebraska planning a $450 million renovation of Memorial Stadium
  • Sucks for tax-paying citizens, just like any project like this. As a husker fan, I'm excited. Memorial stadium is iconic, but is not pleasant to be in or to watch games in. The bathrooms are responsible for many Nebraskan children's nightmares.

    NASA aims to destroy an Empire State Building-sized asteroid
  • Comparing high-energy events, especially ones that cause destruction, to weapons that have been used is very common, not just in "murica"

    The lack of specificity as to what kind of atomic bomb is silly, though.

    What is your favorite non-kit lens? [Discussion]
  • I'm a noob, but often what drives up lens cost is the complexity associated with making the image better over the whole field of view. Lenses have various inherent errors (called aberrations) that are corrected by a combination of complex surface profiles on individual lens elements and stacking multiple individual lens elements to cancel each other's errors out. A scope likely only needs good correction near the center, where the user will be looking most of the time, while a camera lens needs good correction everywhere so the whole photo looks good when you view it later. Wider field of view makes good correction much more complicated and expensive very fast.

    Pairing of electrons in an artificial atom leads to a breakthrough
  • I have yet to see one of these comments with chatGPT summaries of articles that actually adds any value. Usually they are wrong or misleading. Sometimes they are just as long if not longer than the original article. This one, for example, summarizes the article that OP basically already summarized in the post description.

    ChatGPT has its uses. This ain't one of them.

    Motorcycle Riders: You're Using the Wrong RPM
  • Was talking to a fellow rider about this video, I thought it was kinda lame. They disagreed, said after watching they went out and intentionally kept their revs higher in corners and felt more control/precision. I tried the same this past weekend and have to agree, carrying higher revs through corners than I did before made cornering feel much better

    Cardo unit won’t play music, but voice commands and calls work
  • Sounds like you're already going down another path, but Fwiw the individual audio levels in the cardo app do not do exactly what their names imply imo.

    Background music is effectively just music level, for instance. I assumed it was the level music dropped to when someone talks or a phone notification plays, but no. It affects the normal music volume. The app explicitly says it's for during an active call, but it is wrong. You want it at 100% always afaik.

    Your phone audio settings may also be separate for different types of audio, as another comment pointed out, and these settings are NOT the same as the ones in the cardo app. You need to turn them both up.

    Took a few days to ride all over Wyoming. Aside from the rain and fog obscuring all of Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, it was amazing!

  • Largest to smallest is way more logical than smallest to largest. You start general and get more specific as you progress. It is in general a better approach to conveying information and cataloging data. Not just dates.

    How Much Setting in a Rulebook?
  • I like the Avatar Legends RPG, and the lore included is great. But I hate how spread out the rules are and how much hunting around I find myself doing. They probably could have put all the rules in a concise, 20-30 pages or less. Then the other hundred or so after that could have the lore.

    It's PbtA. Very easy to GM and to play. But it's still hard to convince people to try it, even people who like ATLA, because the rule book looks so long.
