'restaurant mimicry' is specifically allowed, though ... which this is closer to. — Joe Jan 7 '16 at 21:15

Also this "rule of two" - I have never heard of it, where's the description or citation? Sounds like snake oil. Maybe I'm biased because I don't do the dew lol

Even the accepted answer seems like pure speculation. How is somebody supposed to trust that it's credible? Especially when it ignores the explicit "no added sugar" spec in the question (which itself kind of conflicts with the mimicry goal)

My gut feeling is that since OP approached the question from the perspective of a user who wants to know if the bike they actually own is any good, a bike community is ideal
Air
Mar 4, 2021 00:53
To be sure. I'm pretty impressed at the quality of the engineering content in the answers just from your site
Air
Mar 3, 2021 18:54
I gave it a shot but I'm low rep on bikes and I'm not even going to try to look through the mess of comments to glean any value there
Air

@Criggie Why not edit and reopen on your own site? It's good content (because it has excellent answers) and it's pertinent to cycling. This looks like a case of the community closing something more because OP is being a pain in the ass than anything else

This sort of effort on other sites is often announced and tracked on the meta site by a small number of top contributors, to help encourage the participation of moderately active contributors

I see a few really good stats in the day 2222 image! For what it's worth: The most expeditious way of improving %answered and a/q ratio is probably a campaign to close and edit stale questions with 0-1 answers

> A short-lived academic subfield called nuclear semiotics arose in the 1980s to answer the warning-sign question. It yielded proposals ranging from fields of jagged, menacing stone spikes to cats genetically engineered to change color when exposed to radiation. The idea was that if you were digging and saw cats changing color, you’d be freaked out enough to stop. (The cat plan called for seeding global religions and folklore with the belief that fur fluctuations are a bad omen.)

@barlop Sure, the player would just have to change the angle of their swing. The ball or shuttlecock will be influenced by both the player's bulk forward motion and the swing of their arm at the same time. You could calculate the angle with a bit of basic vector math (no calculus required).

@CarlWitthoft "The premise is incorrect" is not a valid reason to close-vote. If you think it should be, propose that policy on Meta - otherwise, please find better justification. It sets a bad example.

Q: Why do electric trains arc at high speeds?

user3831089When I watch videos of high speed trains I always see explosions of electricity near the top, or arcing. Why does that happen? I know that the Acela does it a lot but other high speed trains have it, too.

@hazzey Someone flagged it as not an answer, probably because it didn't address transfer functions as requested by OP. That's what put it in the LQ queue.

It may be that this algorithm doesn't require the questions to have been closed or deleted and is in that sense more "comprehensive" (basically more aggressive heuristics for determining low quality).
Air
Feb 17, 2017 16:20
@Wasabi There are several different algorithms in place, some have been network-wide for a while, this is just one of them. I'm not sure exactly how it differs but users have been question-blocked on our site before.

I don't know that we'll have that many cases like this, either... I don't think even EE has support for the more esoteric circuit-related symbols

@Wasabi Yeah, that one. I've seen this type of meta FAQ post split into multiple answers, I don't really think it adds much unless you hit the length limit on a single post.
