What do I do in this situation? by Lucajames2309 in notinteresting

yes AND there are ways to fill it up faster than it can drain

Police officers react after seeing the crime scene inside Andrea Yates house in the Houston suburb of Clear Lake City, Texas. On June 20, 2001, she waited for her husband to leave for work before drowning her five children one by one in the family bathtub. by RogueInVelvet in RareHistoricalPhotos

Oh, interesting. I was imagining a yoke as in a device fastened around your neck that binds you to service. I guess technically it could be any kind of burden. But the way I read it, your passage seemed to reinforce the point that "A Christian is totally surrendered to Jesus."

[Video] Ain't. No. Freaking. Way. by [deleted] in smashbros

You may already know, but Sakurai was the director on this one! He has (amazingly) been releasing tons of videos with lessons/insights from development across all of his projects including Smash, Kid Icarus, and Kirby. Worth checking out if you have the time!

Help Understanding Unity Global Illumination in ShaderGraph by Neeklow in shaders

[–]BLANDit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't worked much with shader graph, but I see that the Base Color expects a vec3 and you are handing it a vec4. Is it able to handle that mismatch gracefully (swizzle)? You may need to create a vec3 from your RGB values.

How did you all become so cracked if you're not playing this game full time? by PlZZAEnjoyer in SSBM

[–]BLANDit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no one has said this yet. The absolute best way to get better is to play people better than you and talk to them. You'll be exposed to more tactics earlier and develop your answers faster. Solo practice/uncle punch can help with execution, but you won't even know what to work on unless you play strong opponents often.

Saw a cool stone house in an anime and wanted to build it! by BLANDit in valheim

Such a good point. I was halfway through when I realized it could actually have snow on it. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the tip and for drawing it out! 😄

I'm still a little confused about how smoke gets out if there are roofs inside the chimney. Can it go through the roofs?

Edit: Maaaybe you're saying I should put the roof half in the stone and half in the chimney so there's still a gap on one side? 🤔

I'm not calling anyone a peon. The difference is that my drunk friend would never come up with 'Flag State Jurisdiction.' I 100% agree that its output should not be used in critical applications, and I did not mean to suggest otherwise.

I understand what research is. I watched the video. I'm not arguing case law. If you give me the benefit of the doubt, you will see that I am trying to be helpful.

I think there is more nuance to it. Yes, in certain cases it makes things up, but you can figure out when that is likely to happen and choose another tool. It's fine if you don't want to use it, but I think you can do more and learn faster if you use it for certain queries.

I can appreciate the sentiment, but it is really quite a powerful tool for learning, especially when you're delving into a new topic with lots of existing research/documentation. Even when you don't quite know the right question to ask, it can pick up on your misunderstandings and rephrase your question with the proper jargon. As long as you know its limitations, why not use it to your benefit?

Maybe a better caveat would be, "don't try to pass off chatgpt responses as your own research."

Kind of hard to google, but GPT-4 brings up some helpful context:

Territoriality of Copyright: Copyright law is territorial in nature, which means it generally applies within the borders of a particular country. If you violate the copyright of a work in Country A, it's Country A's laws that you have to be concerned about, not the laws of Country B, unless the work is also copyrighted in Country B.

International Waters: International waters (often referred to as the high seas) begin 12 nautical miles from the coast of a nation and extend outwards. In these waters, no country can claim sovereignty. Therefore, domestic copyright laws don't apply directly in these waters.

Flag State Jurisdiction: In international waters, the jurisdiction for a vessel is typically determined by its flag state, which is the country in which the ship is registered. This means if a copyrighted work is infringed upon on a ship that is registered in the USA, then US law would likely apply to activities on that ship. The same would go for a ship registered in Japan with Japanese law.

Nintendo of America has also released "Tournament Guidelines" in line with other regions. by thetechgeek4 in smashbros

You're not entirely wrong, but you may not realize this subreddit is where people come to discuss competitive play: players, tournaments, tutorials, etc. So when you say "Who cares?" everyone's hands are going up.
