My humility.

Joking aside though, I’d like to think I’m pretty empathetic and understanding.

Lewistrick,

Linguistics, programming, rationalizing, and trackmania =)

djgenesis,

What is trackmania?

Konlanx, (edited )

A racing game that has a very nice track builder and is very open to modding. Its focus is on the individual driver and the time they achieve on a track.

Flying for hundreds of meters, drifting under water, going at high speeds through multiple loopings, sliding on ice and so much more is totally possible with Trackmania.

Try it, the base game is free and their pricing for online services and cups is totally fine.

relevants,

Ah man, I’ve been playing various Trackmania titles since 2013 but I still struggle with some of the campaign author medals and my placements are only around top 5-10% of players. Better than average sure, but not “exponentially” [sic] despite years of experience :(

Socializing with cats, befriending them.

I too consider myself better at this than the average person. I often find myself slow blinking at random cats in the street.

I wish I had this skill! I love cats and dogs and wish I could talk to them and pet them every time I see them.

DTFpanda,

Being comfortable enough with myself to answer this question honestly: nothing

mookulator,

Statistical modeling.

And yes, I am miffed about the use of the word “exponential” in this post’s title.

the base of my exponential function is 1

slaughtermouse,

Same here; what’re the odds?

bermuda,

About 50/50. Either you are or you aren’t.

bstix,

But what are the exponential odds?

bdonvr,

50^2 / 50^2

bstix,

I’d approach it logically.

If 50/50 = you are / you aren’t

Then

(50/50)^2 = you are are / you are aren’t / you aren’t are / you aren’t aren’t

Applying the locig gates AND : 25%. OR : 75%. XOR : 50% NAND : 75% NOR: 25% XNOR : 50%

The results average at 50/50.

Vineyard8927,

Likewise, so higher than we thought lol.

No magic bullet, it just takes years of practice and a jail sentence or two later before you realize some things are not worth getting cranky over.

Extrasvhx9he,

Picked up soldering and small appliance repairing as a hobby couple months ago so I guess that

Iunnrais,

Living outside my home country.

luthis,

Well, it’s definitely not my height, hahahaha 🥲

But I’m pretty good at not giving up getting obsessed with a problem and basically bashing my head against the wall until the wall gives in.

Or until a new problem steals my focus.

Like, I have no mechanical experience, but I did a valve adjustment on my motorbike.

SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE,

99% of people either ignore their valves or have the dealer make the adjustment. You and I are top 1% of motorcycle owners.

luthis,

It’s a mission right. Definitely not something I want to be doing very often. But I did save a bunch of cash and extended the life of my bike.

cyberpunk007,

Anyone in this thread could probably just cite their career.

DJDarren,

Bold of you to assume.

cyberpunk007,

I suppose 😂

killerinstinct101,

So you’re asking people what they do for a living?

Doing something for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week makes you a lot better at that thing than other people.

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

Actually doing something for 40 hours a week is truly remarkable. People waste so much time, me included.

snowe,
@snowe@programming.dev avatar

Man I’m so good at sleeping though. I get at least 5 hours a night, so that’s 40 a week! Woohoo!

/s

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

Where do you get an 8-day week? I want one (assuming it’s an extra break day not work day…).

akilou,

But I don’t spend 40 hours doing the same thing. I do a bunch of different regular bullshit that you can’t really be “good” at, like sending emails and chatting with people on Teams.

ODuffer,
@ODuffer@lemmy.world avatar

Being myself, I’m pretty good at it.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Asking intriguing questions that nobody thinks to ask.

WtfEvenIsExistence,

I am exponentially more experienced at guessing my Lemmy account password than anyone else here. Try it. See you can’t. Me very smart. 🤓

/s Inb4 a hacker gets mad and actually hacks my account lmao

By feel I can identify 20 lb, 24 lb, 28 lb, 65 lb cover, 110 lb cover, and 12 pt matte paper. I’m increasingly impressed by people’s business cards as a result, as it is often much, much heavier than 12 pt matte.

Using comparison I can distinguish 80 lb semi-gloss cover, 100 lb semi-gloss cover, 8 pt gloss, 10 pt gloss, and 12 pt gloss. (But then again, most people could, given multiple choices rather than a free-response question.)

DJDarren, (edited )

“Look at that subtle off-white colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has a watermark.”

Ticklemytip,

Does it have a watermark?

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

In case you’re legitimately asking: No, it’s just cheaper and fancier versions of normal printer paper and cardstock (cover and cardstock are essentially the same thing). You just feel its texture, maybe shake it a little, figure out its weight.
