Everywhere I am there is a guy running a leaf blower. At my house, leaf blowers everywhere all day long. At work, of course, leaf blowers blowing dirt and allergens into the air. It’s such a special noise, it goes through walls and headphones so effectively. They are the most pervasive, annoying things on the planet. I hate...
Why were non-students allowed to be on UCLA property and allowed to throw things and swing weapons?
Does the University not have an obligation to protect its students?
Sounds like people with $$$ to attend that school, need to take their $$$ somewhere else.
I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?
It's been crashing to desktop with no error message like crazy. It takes forever to load between instances (on an PCIe 4.0 M2 drive)
It's a complete flaky mess.
Even in game garbage like DeathClaws getting trapped in build geometry, character getting stuck on things accessing a computer, and other random Bethesda standard shit that you'd think they'd have fixed after all these years....
I couldn't imagine the horse pile of shit problems this game would have running in Proton on SteamDeck. I'm not even going to bother trying to run it on the Steam Deck. It's not even stable on a PC.
Instanced maps,
loot,
use loot to upgrade outside of instance in a way that helps your next playthough,
Player has experience points and leveling of skills,
No other game does this, and any industry giants that claim to have tried have missed 1 of the 4 core elements.
it's probably pushing on conductive material nearby with an electrostatic force.
You think a Doctorate expert in electrostatics would miss that?
Dr. Buhler’s background confirms that he is indeed one of NASA’s top experts in electrostatics. In addition to overseeing the management of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD safety for the Space Shuttle, the ISS, and Hubble, Dr. Buhler also established NASA’s Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center.
I grew up in the world of BBS's and IRC.
First foray into a chat channel started with someone renaming themselves "34yrDude changes name to 15yrChick"
...and that set the tone for me what the internet is.
It's a entire world where you make absolutely zero assumptions. The 'things' responding in text could be anything. And I say thing instead of people because these days it may not even a person.
There's an entity that responds to my comments, and perhaps seemingly hurtful,
it could be some 10yr old kid who doesn't fully understand,
it could be could be some mentally challenged person,
it could be someone's crazy grandma,
and now it could be some bot that while not purposefully built to be malicious, through emergent behavior is trolling and insulting people because it gets a rise out of people that results in more and longer comments, which tickles its feedback loop to do more of the same.
So nah, there's nothing anyone in the vast internet could type out that I would personally hurt my feelings, because I make no assumptions as to where the comment is coming from, and those comments don't have a lot of weight to me.
Russia and Iran are using Ukraine and Israel as “battlefield laboratories” to probe at Western military vulnerabilities, experts told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee Wednesday....
It was clear to everyone, Iran, Russia and China have been developing a kind of trinity semi-alliance. And India is/was kinda on the verge of joining it, and if I was some kind of US long term tactical guru sitting around all day around 2010, I would formulating a plan on how to break them up.
Maybe bait Russia into Ukraine.... maybe bait Iran into Israel... maybe bait China into Taiwan?
Watch them drain their military resources and economies into the fight.
Offload all of the US's old equipment, maybe sell some new ones.
Test detection capabilities, see how things have developed since the Gulf War, see how two modernized militaries clash.
Is this article right? Maybe. Is this article is just projecting? Perhaps.
Don't know, but Russia wasting its time/resources and playing it's hand in Ukraine has been net-positive for the US
And I feel if Iran did the same, and Israel starting hitting back hard (with them already saying they wont' be directly involved), then it's a win again for the US.
But that could be playing with fire. The world is fucked if Israel lets off a nuclear device in Iran. Netanyahu is crazy enough to do it, if the people around him let him.
Realistic
Batteries. It's holding back a LOT of things. A lot of technologies are solved, but just require power.
Semi-Realistic
Room Temperature Super-Conductor.
If that can be solved, the power density and efficiencies would just be astronomical....
It would absolutely destroy multi-billion industries overnight.
Way-Out-There-Stuff
If they ever prove out an actual functional EmDrive-like thruster, that would absolutely open up space travel to our species.
I hate leaf blowers with the passion of 1000 suns.
