“You can’t go around arresting the Thieves’ Guild. I mean, we’d be at it all day!”

As he should. You’re heating everything else in the fridge, making the fridge work far harder than usual and thus vastly accelerating both the fridge and it’s contents’ demise.

All totally correct.

Now, the billion dollar question. What are you going to do about it?

Not about some things, no.

This isn’t your fault, but is because an awful lot of people are simply fucking stupid, and will read it at face value.

Other people then have to expend great effort to explain the details of why it was only a joke, to someone who can’t count to ten, with their fingers to count on.

This has to be done because fucking stupid people get to vote too, and they take jokes as serious info.

That’s exactly where my brain went with their first comment. 😁

I’ve found an acid test for susceptibility to VR sickness. Driving in VR.

Most brains know what it feels like to be in a car, in control or otherwise. Feed in only the visuals of “being in a car” and watch the face turn green in tandem with the brain’s ancient “we’ve eaten poison!” subroutine kicking in.

In Elite: Dangerous, I can pirouette a Vulture round an asteroid field -permaboosting with flight assist off- shooting other ships all day long. Drop an SRV onto a moon and drive 100 metres, pass me the sick bucket.

I put this down to having plenty sensory memory of “car” but none of “high velocity space fighter”.

I know this is an old post, but still…

I’m playing on a 38" ultra wide with a TrackIR, a pair of Virpil twist sticks, and an old warthog throttle controller.

Best space sim experience I’ve had to date.

More cheap, plastic shite for people to buy. This is business as usual.

Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos pulls a close 2nd place for it’s genuine Newtonian physics at sub-light speeds.

Edit: Sniper PDCs and ranging everyone out, true space combat.

If that “fake artistic character” is a minor, that’s CSAM in some jurisdictions, and that leaves the instance admin legally on the hook for a whole range of offenses which are punishable by incarceration, huge fines, and/or life on a sex offenders register, and in some places, chemical castration.

So yeah, not near as fucking innocent as you make it out to be.

Elite: Dangerous. 1300 hours and counting.

Frontier are an absolute shitcake of a company, and David Braben is a greedy motherfucker. The game is a mile wide and an inch deep, with some fucknasty game mechanics and grinds.

Despite all that and more, nothing I’ve played so far in my 44 years on this earth is quite as fucking cool an experience. It works well with all my simrig peripherals including the TrackIR, which helps the experience a lot I will admit. But still, it has it’s moments.

I do remember from waaay back in the day using the same syntax in DOS batch files. Shit’s probably just been carried over since then.

What the actual fuck is wrong with your “mother”?

I am aware that is no way to speak about someone’s family, but my dude… What the fuck?!

You missed our Lord and Saviour Omnifixo from your list.

In my 30+ years of soldering, never has a “helping hands” been worth the effort, until now. No, I’m not on commission. Yes, they’re worth the asking price.

Made building whoops a genuine pleasure. Both my whoops are soldered motors and cameras, with e6000 glued solder connections, and everything conformal coated. Absolute doddle with the Omnifixo holding everything.

Yeah, you’ve most likely managed to flex the AIO and partially pop off part of the VTx. A hot air solder tool can be used to carefully reflow stuff like this, but it takes a bit of finesse to not blow shit off when solder melts.

Reflow ovens are another option, but beyond most of us.

I built two 65mm whoops a few weeks ago, both with matrix II AIOs in em, one on RCinPower 0702 31800kV with triblades, the other on HM 0702 26000kV and biblades.

They’ve both taken enough abuse to break two canopies and a frame without complaint. If anything, the rcinpower motors are the weak spot, some of them shed their circlips and therefore the bells a little easily.

Consider for a moment that other people may not be in a position to simply “find another line of work”. Perhaps they have dependants, or medical issues, or any number of other situations that could prevent them from being able to retrain into another profession, or even to be able to switch employers.

You’re in a very privileged position if finding another line of work is something actually sensibly achievable.

The Argentinian moron is being strung along by Trump, who’s doing it because he sees it as him getting even for our staying away from his Iranian Self Own as best we could.

The US won’t seriously back Argentina on account of the Israeli interests operating in Falklands Territory, and when push comes to shove, the US loves chugging Israeli meat more than it gives a fuck about Argentina.

Not on the whole, no.

In short, there are groups of ignorant, useful idiots that are easily led by their prejudice, being led by right wing grifters who think they’re clever, who are in turn being led by rich grifters looking to cash in on selling off what’s left of the UK’s government services to private interests.
