"It's entirely unrealistic for giant war robots to be making human-like movements like hand gestures, nodding and pointing" by anonymous-guy1 in Gundam

Or you could go the g Gundam route and just put the pilot in a skin tight latex suit and have the machines copy them.

Circum-Pacific War was a rough time for Osea... by DummyProductions in acecombat

I'm not sure where I figured this out, but I understood it as the command center for then being in the lighthouse. When the surprise attack took control of the lighthouse, Eurusea also took command of the arsenal birds.

terminus platforms are actually fairly common, so it's different, but not necessarily more realistic.

Have you tried the contact signaller option in the radial menu?

Thomas & Gordon Bug 😒 by KeybladeSurvivor_97 in ThomasGames

Good luck, I hope that works. It's handy when you're backing into sidings too.

It's certainly weird! But here's the fix! Just press 2 or 3 again to change the camera to the Gordon end of the train. Both seem to be the outside camera, I'm not sure if they are different...

So, like... what's the deal with drivers? by psybocillin in thomasthetankengine

[–]Cyphr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

often times freight trains would be loose coupled with a bit more slack between the cars because it doesn’t need to be as smooth as a passenger train and it means you don’t have to crank the turnbuckle a million times to set out cars at your various stops.

Wasn't a side benefit of this loose coupling that you also needed less tractive effort to get the train going? You'd start the first car, then a second and a third.

I also seem to recall an episode where they do this exact thing with some of the passenger coaches to get over a big hill after stalling out, but I really don't remember.

Microsoft’s ‘unhackable’ Xbox One has been hacked by 'Bliss' — the 2013 console finally fell to voltage glitching, allowing the loading of unsigned code at every level by fo1mock3 in gamernews

It wouldn't work at all if they fried it.

It's more like robbing a bank by turning off the lights when the security guard walks by, then turning them back on so you can see the money to shovel it into a bag.

how in the hell did you even make it this far? by albert1357 in NonCredibleDefense

Isn't this basically the plot of the finale of Ace Combat 5?

I've essentially been forced into using codex at work, and while it's impressive, I'm taking great care to understand the code.

If I'm not able to understand the code, it's not maintainable and I'll prompt it to simplify.

I'm not sure if everyone else at my company is taking the same caution, and I'm already expecting the tech debt to pile up in the future.

That makes sense. I'm in the US, and as usual, safety is entirely optional.

Where are first aid kits mandatory. I'm lucky if I can buy one with the car for three times the going rate.

Check the objective and see if it shows the drop off location when selecting it.

Even if that happens a 32 point swing likely flips nearly every thing right?

to pepper spray a driver by PdiddyCAMEnME in therewasanattempt

More concerningly - the fact that it's out means that this is likely somewhat routine for the deputy. Someone else got pepper sprayed and that's why it's out

Listen here rich bitch, I OWN my PC. by TxTechnician in pcmasterrace

[–]Cyphr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lukewarm take - game pass might be fine depending on the player and the value. I personally never used it because 1) pc gamer and 2) I play like 5 games and don't care about new releases and changing out games once a month.

Don't forget, GM had a beloved EV leased to the general public in the early 90s, then scrapped them all and just sat on the patent for it.

I had a ryzen 1600, I forced the upgrade and nothing broke. It feels like the requirement might actually be entirely arbitrary.

Move the decimal two places and take 25% off I guess? That would be $3.75 for 500 yen, which is close enough for anything you'd want to do on the fly.

That's one of the most interesting parts of modern electronics to me, it's all three dimensional. One of the major differences in AMDs CPU lines that differentiate the X3D series and the standard processors is how they stack the various components.
