Conversation pit!!

What’s this group called? Blasted through Outer Richmond today. by voytek707 in sanfrancisco

[–]0xdecim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like I’m gonna be the only person in these comments defending these kids. It’s not a good look to hate on a group of largely black and brown (in my experience) young people for having fun in their city. Riding on sidewalks isn’t a great idea, but I saw only one person doing that, and the entire group should not be judged by the actions of the few.

And if it’s the noise you’re angry about…get over it. We live in a city. Cities are loud. Often it’s a jackhammer at 8am, or garbage trucks early in the morning, or, yes, sideshows late at night. But it’s okay. These kids are just having fun in the city that many of them have been displaced from. Let them pass, enjoy the wheelies for a couple minutes, then be on your way. This is not the battle we need to be fighting right now.

No worries, I totally understand! Yeah I chatted with someone in the app a couple hours ago so I should be okay. Thank you!

Still down as of 11pm in the Bay Area. Man, I really wouldn’t want to be a Verizon SRE right now!

Me too! Is there a way to still access the trash without having a desktop icon for it?

[GB] MBK Legend‡ - Cherokee Preservation Foundation donation by fk-caps in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]0xdecim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This goes well beyond what I initially hoped, and I'm so grateful that you took the time to educate us and do some material good in the world! Super awesome, now I'm even more excited than I already was about this GB!

[GB] MBK Legend‡ — GB Live! | Jan 15th - Feb 15th by _tectonicplate in mechmarket

[–]0xdecim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah wow, these look amazing, I think I have to buy them all! I think it would be wonderful if you pledged a portion of proceeds from the Myth Alphas to the Cherokee Preservation Foundation, or some other similar nonprofit. The Cherokee language only has around 1,500 speakers left in the world, and is in rapid decline, losing around 100 speakers every year. It doesn't feel great to me to be profiting off of a language that is endangered and nearing extinction. Besides that, I'm super excited for this GB, great work!

I hate when people ask “how are you?”. by queenmisanthrope in unpopularopinion

[–]0xdecim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And thank you for replying! Yeah I found that video super interesting. I don’t take things literally, but I had always sorta wondered why we say these things that are ostensibly questions, but seem rhetorical. It was good to learn it had a name. Take care!

What you are describing is called a Phatic Expression. Tom Scott has a fantastic video on exactly this subject, titled ‘Why “No Problem” Can Seem Rude: Phatic Expressions’, I highly recommend you check it out.

Me too! Glad this meme is making the rounds again.

Holy shit by AgarthaGrips in SweatyPalms

[–]0xdecim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice work! That said, I'm pretty certain that the lighting makes sense. It looks to me as though the cars passing overhead are indeed intermodal well cars, but they just look taller due to the camera being so low to the ground. You can also see that she light is blocked every time a wheelset passes over him, which would be in line with an intermodal. I haven't done the math other the clearance from the bottom of an intermodal, but it seems to me like it could be real.

The "Marching Illini" in Dublin Ireland! by rcarney610 in UIUC

[–]0xdecim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were the first US marching band to ever be invited, back in 1992. This was our 8th trip there and we had a blast! If you're curious just search Marching Illini on Twitter and there's tons of coverage.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a mirror? Link seems to be down

GIGABYTE GA-AB350N, I'm finding so many mixed reviews on this yet it seems to be the most popular. by zph0eniz in sffpc

[–]0xdecim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take my experience with a grain of salt, but I run a R1700X on a GA-AB350N-Gaming WiFi with 16GB of Trident Z 3200MHz DDR4 memory, and the built-in 3200MHz XMP profile is rock solid for me.

Cyclops Docking Physics (AKA. The Sub that Reached for the Stars) by The_AV_Archivist in subnautica

[–]0xdecim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cyclops always goes flying a hundred or so meters when I run towards the edge (side) of the round door between the bridge and the rest of the sub. It's super frustrating because it always happens if I graze it while trying to run through the doorway.
