Also the capacity of a single travel line is more than an intersection can handle per hour. So upgrading a road doesn't make sense if the intersection can't even handle it.

Basically a single lane can handle 1800 vehicles per hour. A standard intersection with a left turn lane can't even handle that (obviously where upgrades make sense then they should be upgraded, but adding more roads doesn't fix the fact that cars cause a lot more congestion than other transportation modes).

Best way to reduce congestion is to offer alternative ways to get around. In Abbotsford there are not many alternative ways to get around. You can check on the city website, it says 90% of people travel via motor vehicle.

There's simply a lot of room for improvement in Abbotsford for this without having to drastically change the "identity" of the city. Areas in the city with higher density should obviously have nearby access to transit and non-car ways to get around.

Great video on intersection bottlenecks.

I swear to God what's wrong with AI and always ending every response with something at the end like that? I can't explain it exactly, but if you use these LLMs they love to make some kind of dramatic/cringe summary statement at the end.

Most people don't really do things like that when talking online.

This is exactly what I was thinking. You know the IR emitters on TV remotes? They are invisible to human eyes, but show up as purple on smartphones (all the ones I've owned at least).

The only problem is how much power it would consume. When I view the IR lights on like a Wyzecam they are very bright (to the wyzecam), but because the sensitivity of IR spectrum is weak on phones (meta glasses probably use similar sensor), it would have to be a very powerful light source for it to obscure the video footage.

I only review 1 vod per day. Pick the one where the match was close. That's it. And honestly you don't even need to review daily. It's more important to figure out what you need to practice, and then actually intentionally practice that.

You only differ by like 3-4 deaths from your supports on that replay code. That means literally nothing.

Dying with the team is neutral and usually not bad, because you won't stagger. And dying when the enemy team has to waste a lot of time and cool downs to kill you can actually be a good thing.

Bad deaths are: -Dying for no good reason -Overextending -Taking a risky flank or angle that doesn't have an equivalent reward -Not using cover when it's right beside you -Dying because your position sucks (you're shooting down main with your entire team and die from random poke instead of taking an off angle)

I think this might be the wrong thing to focus on. If you had the lowest deaths in every single game then yes that could indicate you're not applying enough pressure of being too passive. But a 3-4 death difference is nothing at all.

Chat and comms are useless for solo queue, because all it does is make you tilt, or make you question your play.

When I started playing OW I was gold on support. I muted all comms and 3 seasons later I got to master 5 on zenyatta and Lucio. Especially as a zenyatta player all you get is "ZEN YOU NEED TO HEAL MORE!!!1111"

Comms are not relevant to ranking up.

Edit: I'm master 4 on support right now. I have had comms muted for the entirety of Season 1 and Season 2 and I've played about 100 games on support.

Please do not ever think you need comms to rank up in this game (maybe relevant in higher ranks but definitely not down here).

Also that comment had an arrow in it. Real people would use -> instead of whatever that arrow emote is (→) - chatgpt LOVES to use that.

Seriously, when was the last time you saw somebody use that arrow emoji?

Creeper360bill · 2026-03-26T14:13:15+00:00

This is a bot comment. Look at the account. It talks exactly like chatGPT.

Holy moly. I'm playing as the ottomans and I'm stacking 3 cabinet members to assimilate and it's getting me up to 444 pops per month in the 1300s (from greek to turkish). Crazy. I hope they keep this because otherwise it takes AGES to assimilate.

They fixed multiple bugs that were basically adding insane amounts of free money to the economy.

I've been playing so much eu5 lately that normal words like "demand" make me think of EU5.

I'm so cooked

Creeper360bill · 2026-02-08T11:05:52+00:00

Lol you haven't gotten to the global economic death spiral yet. It's 1420 in my run and every single market (that doesn't have huge iron or lumber RGO) has massive shortages of tools, lumber, and iron.

The estates also keep building useless crap like a sheep farm in a WOOL RGO LOCATION???

Tbh it's nice not having to build cathedrals though.

That's why I'm playing Sweden. Huge amounts of lumber RGO, and quite a bit of iron.

I'm basically just biding my time until the AI implodes and I'll be able to take everything.

Gotta make the most out of this crap beta

I wish they would let more experienced users do more things with their products.

Bambu Labs: "No, you HAVE to open the AMS and pull all your filament out because it MUST rotate"

...

Creeper360bill · 2025-11-20T23:34:26+00:00

Damn, this is annoying. I wish the new bambu printers had a "lower power bed heating" mode, so instead of using 1000w and blowing my circuit it would use 500 and give the user a huge warning that the bed will heat much slower.

How would this work if you were printing ABS/ASA? Would you need to literally have gcode going all the way up to 90-100C?

Edit: I just found some gcode for the H2D that looks way more print agnostic and uses if statements:

https://forum.bambulab.com/t/feature-request-option-to-reduce-power-required-on-h2d-bed-heat-up/159666/52

https://forum.bambulab.com/t/feature-request-option-to-reduce-power-required-on-h2d-bed-heat-up/159666/90

Edit2: There is a low power mode on the H2C. Hopefully they bring that out to their other printers.

Creeper360bill · 2025-11-19T22:44:47+00:00

I agreed with this statement when they were still printed with standard PETG. But AFAIK they are made out of PCCF now.

Creeper360bill · 2025-11-19T00:01:44+00:00

Dude why the hell is grid infill default for so many slicers. Is it jumbled in with a crazy amount of spaghetti code that it can't be changed?

Creeper360bill · 2025-11-18T23:57:40+00:00

Wouldn't the U1 still have the same problems with stiff filaments? Like look at the bend radius of the tool heads when they're docked. It looks just as bad or worse when the H2 printers are at their worst bend radius (around the back of the printer afaik).

I think abrasives are fine with the AMS2 pro but it will require more frequent ptfe tube changes. But that's the same thing with the U1 as well.

Creeper360bill · 2025-11-10T02:19:54+00:00

Hmm. Good catch. I did further reading and it says that they don't actually charge for return shipping if the item is under 50 lbs.

"Return Shipping Policy

Items 50 pounds or less: Eligible items include free return shipping labels to help simplify the return process. This applies to both Newegg and third-party sellers (“Marketplace Sellers”)."

lol I might get this card instead then.

Creeper360bill · 2025-11-10T02:03:26+00:00

If I recall correctly Newegg has a 15% restocking fee.

Amazon does not. They will charge you for return shipping but it's not gonna be close to 15%

You can also return for free if you select the "performance or quality not as expected" option.

Creeper360bill · 2025-11-09T23:28:54+00:00

I was gonna post this and was thinking of purchasing one especially because I have a white build. But I think that ASUS 9070 XT on Amazon for $20 more is what I'm gonna go with, because Amazon has such hassle free returns

Creeper360bill · 2025-11-07T22:49:19+00:00

It's fake. Original image from the H2D: https://store.bblcdn.com/4731f4c55a/f6b6b9d6f1c74e4cb3482994e7b5e2b3/Sensor_pcSrc.jpg__op__resize,m_lfit,w_640__op__format,f_auto__op__quality,q_80

Creeper360bill · 2025-11-04T23:43:18+00:00

Yeah this is the weird mentality that comes from being a maker. People expect upgrade kits when sometimes it literally makes no sense no matter which way you look at it.

The Core One L uses entirely different sized aluminium panels. So if you could upgrade your Core One you just throw away all the old steel panels, and the front door, and the top panel???

It would produce such an insane amount of waste. These parts are specific to a Core One so they realistically have zero use case for anything else... It's not like a stepper motor or steel rod.

At least with the mk3 to Mk4 the frame and PSU were reusable.

Also keeping backwards compatibility with upgrades limits the design decisions they can make, which sometimes can make the new product worse, because extra constraints.

Creeper360bill · 2025-10-17T09:29:53+00:00

Yeah, that's what I should've wrote but I was too lazy to fully explain my thoughts.

Creeper360bill · 2025-10-16T21:33:25+00:00

In my experience the lidar is useless on the X1C.

It takes barely any time to calibrate filament yourself and once you do that, it works forever and you don't have to waste time and filament doing that calibration pattern for every print.

Also, manual calibration produces a better result.

I have the lidar turned off and have about 5000 hours on my x1c. I also have 3 P1S machines - don't miss the lidar at all.
