And the timespan of the increased cost of everything.

Since the pandemic, construction ply more than tripled in price and isn’t going down.

That’s insane. Income can’t keep up with that.

He is correct that the forces are different. The equation for centripetal force is Fc = Mv2/R.

Radius is the distance from the focal point, and each seat will be different distances.

So he is technically correct that seat position could be calculated in perfect conditions with accurate measurements.

But none of the data that reaches this service will be remotely accurate or complete enough to make that determination. It will only have one passengers phone data, and even if it collected everyones phone data, phone sensors have a margin of error well above what the difference would be. GPS data is only even marginally accurate up to something like 6ft, and really not even then. Then cars have a lot of other factors like suspension and compression in seats, etc, that would absorb enough of the forces to muddy the data even if accurate sensors were everywhere.

Tl;dr; another cocky person that took a few physics courses but walked away with a poor understanding of real world applications talking out their ass.

I don’t see any problem with modders charging for their mods. They are doing work, and deserve to be compensated.

If they’re creating additional deep content, I can see that being worth paying. If it’s just some skins or configuration edits like wonky gravity, that would not be worth money to me. But I think it’s a good thing to be able to add micro transactions for.

Take the original DOTA for example. A warcraft 3 custom map. It eventually dominated the custom game lobby, at least 3:1. I would have no problem with the creator(s) making money off their creation that contributed a ton of replayability the game.

When it comes down to it, it should be the modder’s choice on if they want to charge for their work, and the consumers choice if they want to pay for it.

Also why I didn’t have problems with microtransactions for skins, particularly when it was community driven like DOTA 2. Artists can make money creating non-game altering content, and fans get to personalize their characters.

We can defederate them now. Content will move as it reaches fewer eyes.

You see 500% markup.

I see 10 pounds for the time and effort to shop around for bargains, then storing your haul, list the items online, and the cost of the other dozens of books that never sell, and then time and effort to package and ship, and whatever customer service along the way.

Rofl. Imagine being mildly infuriated that someone marked up a bargain bin purchase by $10 to cover their time and effort to make it available to you to buy from the comfort of your home.

Why don’t you spend your own day rummaging through thrift stores for it next time?

I tried the sled with shims on my thickness planer. It worked, but it was certainly a pain in the ass and unwieldy due to weight and length.

Picked up a 6" bench top jointer. Not great at long boards due to length of the feeds. Picked up some roller stands hoping that would be close enough, but I moved and the garage needs a lot of work before I can try them out.

If you can pick up a full floor sized jointer and have room for it, you’ll save yourself several headaches if you plan on jointing a ton of rough cut lumber.

It was straight and square when it was milled. Problem is that the big box stores cut corners during the kiln drying phase, so the boards have a ton of moisture still in them. As that dries, the boards twist and cup.

Plus poor protection from the elements at each storage step, which means rapid temp changes, which also causes wood movement.

Go to a local lumber yard. They tend to do a better job at kiln drying. You’re still going to have warped boards, but far fewer in my experience.

I used to play EFT, and he would periodically say stupid shit like this regularly. Like reliably 2x a year at least.

He’s extremely out of touch with the fan base, and gets upset at the “toxic community” for complaining that the “early access” game (for what, ~8 years now) has major game breaking bugs still, and most importantly, has been overrun by hackers for many years.

Imagine an MMO where all the epic loot is randomly spawned in a free for all battle ground, and the hackers can see all items on the map, vacuum it up remotely, and leave the lobby before legit players could even sprint there in a straight line.

And then the lead dev says “man, you guys whine so much, get over it”

Rofl. I was wondering why I couldn’t see the other reply to you, and realized it might because I already blocked that user. Went to incognito, and yep, blocked that rabid user a while ago.

I recommend doing the same. I forgot “Global South” was even a term used here.

It is pretty exhausting fighting their subtle tankie arguments over and over, lest someone more impressionable only see their bullshit and believe it.

At a glance, that looks like $30/mo. Or $160/year, which they’re hoping you never cancel because it becomes a huge task to download and purge before you can cancel your plan.

Or we could do something silly, like have a modern amount of internal storage and a microsd slot, so we can store lots of pictures and videos, and transfer them off the device quickly and easily.

Storage is cheap. Don’t let these pricing models fool you otherwise.

Maybe I’m weird, but I feel entitled to significant storage (options) on my device, but I don’t feel entitled to free cloud storage (of significant size)

It’s those moving pictures that really get you. And our phones now have very high grade cameras on them, so it’s very easy to exceed. Cloud storage fills quickly, or butchers the resolution.

Rofl, how did they miss Dune 2? It was so revolutionary! I wonder what was before it, 32 years ago.

…

FUCK

My inner dialog reading that title.

Edit - lol never mind, read the title wrong. Thought some new Dune game was coming out “32 years since the last one”

I find the “clean history” argument so flawed.

Sure, if you’re they type to micro commit, you can squash your branch and clean it up before merging. We don’t need a dozen “fixed tests” commits for context.

But in practice, I have seen multiple teams with the policy of squash merging every branch with 0 exceptions. Even going so far as squash merging development branches to master, which then lumps 20 different changes into a single commit. Sure, you can always be a git archeologist, check out specific revisions, see the original commits, and dig down the history over and over, to get the original context of the specific change you’re looking into. But that’s way fucking more overhead than just looking at an unmanipulated history and seeing the parallel work going on, and get a clue on context at a glance at the network graph.

I haven’t played a GT in a very long time. That’s not what they are anymore? I have up on the genre when each car part had like 20 options and I had no clue what was good for a given track

Same argument every time. I don’t give a shit, nor will I ever give a shit, if the only micro transactions are skins. It does not affect gameplay, it only adds a little way to customize for the enthusiasts. That’s fine, and has been a regular Tekken feature since PS3. Why people care so much is beyond me.

Definitely intentionally deceiving by OP.

Working with exotic animals at a sanctuary is basically a labor of love. It’s a shitty industry to make a living in, but these kinds of places usually run on fumes.

Still, the training fee, walkie deposit, and not supplying the tour vehicle are pretty sus.
