Ooh yeah those are good too.  As much as people complain about it here, makes me glad we have OSHA.

Videos like that are exciting, nothing like watching shit blow up and catch fire.

I'm very fond of the 11 foot 8 bridge. There's something cathartic in the predictable inevitability of those crashes.
For similar reasons, that one steep street in Mexico, where brakes can't cope with the gradient and cars very slowly slide down to their mild demise - is fun to watch.

Does this forum have a dedicated WH40k thread? I seem to remember it existing when I was here a while ago but can't find it

Some of our longer lived but low activity threads are getting buried by Novel, huh. :\

[EuchreJack]

There can only be Novel.

Appreciate it!

Anyone else have better quality vision when both their eyes are open instead of just one of them? I find things a bit more legible when I'm reading over a distance with both eyes than with just my left or right, even with my glasses on.

[Ziusudra]

Yep, left eye is worse than the right, but both together is better than either.

[EuchreJack]

Isn't that how eyes are supposed to work?

I'm really not sure.

[King Zultan]

I'm near sighted in one eye and far sighted in the other, but I can see fine as long as both are open as they seem to even each other out.

Eye was about to say the same thing.

Binocular vision isn’t so good with one eye, aye?

It's how the brain works, interpolating from what both eyes see.

That's depth perception, not blurriness.

I'm trying to figure out the crit rate of a hypothetical fighter character in DnD. I tried googling the knowledge but it keeps directing me towards sites explaining independent vs dependent probability, which I'm sure is not what I'm looking for. I'm irritated because I'm sure I learned this before in the past, but I've simply forgotten, so now I'm trying to reason through it.

In the hypothetical scenario, the fighter is attacking twice. He's rolling a D20, and a 20 is a crit. My assumption is that the 5% probability of a 20 is simply doubled to be a 10% chance of a crit. But if you think about it another way, he has a 95% chance that any attack won't be a crit, and doubling that doesn't give you a 190% of not critting, so my method is wrong.

I'm thinking it's as easy as multiplication and I'm just confusing myself for no reason, but I'm completely unsure how to go about multiplying these percentages. I can convert the 5% chance into 1.05, and Multiplying 1.05 * 1.05 gives me 1.1025, and reconverting that back into 10.25% is pretty close to my gut intuition. Conversely though, converting the Not-critting chance of 95% into 0.95 * 0.95 gives me 0.9025, or a 90.25% to not crit, or a 9.75% chance to crit, which is also pretty close to my gut intuition.

At this point, I'm thinking I'm just arranging and rearranging numbers around like an idiot without actually getting any closer to the answer to my original question. I'm positive it is staring me in the face but my boomer-ass-brain has just lost all the mathematical capability that my younger self had.
