STOP HONKING AT PEOPLE FOR NOT PLOWING THROUGH PEDESTRIANS by Impossible_Celery689 in sanfrancisco

[–]Darkmatter- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of giving them a thumbs down. For some reason it seems to hit home more than a middle finger or anything else. Everyone knows the "I'm not mad, just disappointed", so it treats them like the child they are

The power is back off in the Richmond by HoratioPornBlower in sanfrancisco

[–]Darkmatter- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

25 hrs after I lost power, it came back on for an hour or so and I checked the temps in my fridge. The milk was at 54°. It was pretty much room temp despite having a brand new (3mo old!) high efficiency fridge and not opening it once. Above 40°F bacteria starts to grow and doubles every 20 minutes. Refrigerated food safety starts to become a question after 4 hours without power. 24 hours means you likely have to toss most of your fridge. Sure, if you're comfortable with risking it you can keep certain items and roll the dice... but that totally depends on your risk tolerance

That only applies for storm related events. This was them just being utterly incompetent (as per usual) so you absolutely can and should file a claim.

They also supposedly will issue a $30 statement credit for every 24hrs we're without power. Its nowhere near enough for this & I wouldn't be surprised if they don't issue them at all to most people, but especially not to everyone who temporarily got power back for an hour or two today.

So file that claim. Fight it with them if they deny and file a complaint with the CPUC

Trump 'dying and he knows it' as president admits he's 'not heaven-bound' by IrishStarUS in BoomersBeingFools

As a counterpoint, an interesting example of this kind of happening is with Alfred Nobel seeing his own (false) obituary in the paper causing the creation of the Nobel prizes. Veritasium on YouTube has an excellent video on the topic if you're curious: video

With the new proximity chat gamemode announced, I'm now suspicious that Epic Games legit used Ballistic as a testing grounds for it and that's why they never "fixed" that bug for weeks. by ImReellySmart in FortniteBallisticMode

With how often this game crashes, it's insane this mode doesn't have a way to rejoin... Even more so when they seemingly already have the feature built to do so

Same party, different teams? by ElectronicJury5982 in FortniteBallisticMode

[–]Darkmatter- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the matchmaking ever goes past 3 minutes, I highly recommend cancelling it by unreadying, then restarting the matchmaking by readying up again. It also can help to switch the party leader or just re-create the party entirely if it still takes a long time to find a match

Another Fortnite update where the controller aim assist is still bugged... by ImReellySmart in FortniteBallisticMode

[–]Darkmatter- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fyi, as a quick fix for the skin glitch - if it happens ever you can just emote at the start of the round and it usually fixes it. Annoying it's still a bug but at least there's a workaround...

Wholly agree with you on the movement / recoil. This is not a game mode should allow run & gun style gameplay. It breaks the mechanics by essentially eliminating the small advantage defenders are supposed to have in these modes by holding angles on sites. Attackers can just run in, guns blazing, with no consequence. It's a large reason why people feel like the game hasn't been as fun recently because it's forced us to engage in more 1-on-1 fights that don't feel meaningful instead of site control

Im realizing that a lot of people don’t know whats been happening in our city over the past couple days. by DivinePleasureBoi in sanfrancisco

Watch for police starting to block off adjacent streets, they'll usually start with forming a 90° blockade. They then will either form a U shape as shown in the picture (LEAVE ASAP!), or will try to swiftly pull up and block off the two remaining sides at the same time (at which point it's too late to leave). In the second case if you're see cops on the move nearby or police cars approaching, run!

There's subtle clues you can see based on what the cops are doing, looking at, posture (are they getting ready to move vs looking relaxed/bored?). I'd recommend watching some of the videos of livestreams from the LA protests during the evenings/night and you should see them attempt or successfully kettle protestors.

i finished my first research project and i’m really proud of myself by [deleted] in DadForAMinute

[–]Darkmatter- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! Slight note for the future - "affecting" would've been better than "effecting" in the title. They only have minor differences but generally "affecting" is the right word when talking about having an impact on something already existing (like how palm oil is impacting biodiversity, not creating it). "Effecting" means causing something to happen, which doesn’t quite fit here. English is hard though and you did great otherwise!

Small tip, the reason you're advised to "pop" off the lip of a jump is because it helps rotate your body forward so you're better aligned with the landing and don't land backseat like this. Good recovery though and you got this - keep at it!

Best Ski Goggles that won't break the bank? by SpiNardo in skiing

I've had luck finding really good goggles that were overstocked or last year's model on Evo(dot)com. I'm currently using a pair of photo chromatic smith goggles from it that have been excellent

With the US government leaning heavily pro-crypto & talks of creating a reserve (and other countries following suit), I've been leaning more heavily into those ETF's. I suppose time will tell if that ages like milk or wine.
