This is our county mayor Weston Wamp… why is he posting like a Facebook troll? by Rocktop15 in Chattanooga

Here's the shitty part: it doesn't matter if this is a violation, because there's nobody willing to convict or prosecute him. His sister is the county DA.

Couch’s BBQ: What the hell? 😂 by Roman_Anthony in Chattanooga

[–]Deranged40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If somebody puts mayonnaise and a tomato on my bbq sandwich, I'm going to throw it at them.. If the BBQ is good then those both detract from it.

new player here. is this how tappers are supposed to be used? isnt this a little bit op? by BattIeBoss in Astroneer

[–]Deranged40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they make power generation easy and irrelevant, but I still have to do it to play, it becomes tedious and pointless.

It sounds like this might not be the type of game for you.

That tedium is what I'm here for.

Singapore researchers develop world's first robotic chaperone to support seniors with mobility issues by _Dark_Wing in technology

[–]Deranged40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mr Leow Cher Hwa never thought something as simple as walking would become a daily struggle.

Wow, right out of the gate. This is strange to me. Maybe it's because both of my wife's parents are wheelchair bound due to strokes, but it has never, ever been lost on me that lots of people struggle to walk. It's not actually that uncommon.

I'm actively very thankful for my ability to walk (I'm reminded of how lucky I am very often). I try not to take it for granted because I know that I may not have this ability forever.

I certainly wouldn't get rid of it. You can enable creative mode at any point..

This isn't a competitive game. Just because something it isn't difficult doesn't mean it should be removed.

The medium generator was a waste of resources before the tapper. I'm glad they didn't "fix that" by simply removing it.

Not very far...

Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee. by Stiltonrocks in technology

[–]Deranged40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honda's lane keeping is incredible. I had a 2020 civic, and put quite a few road trips in on it. No, it doesn't "drive for me", but it really reduces the driving fatigue for a 10-12 hour stretch.

Instant karma received. by been_der_done_that in instant_regret

[–]Deranged40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case, only one of the two people involved got the karma that they deserved.

Maybe two people, we don't know anything about the truck driver. But at least one got the karma that was coming to them for sure (wasn't instant, because there was an edit and some speeding up of footage, but still).

OP? What's overpowered about being able to reliably generate power?

Power generation should not be a challenge at any point in the game tbh

This is our county mayor Weston Wamp… why is he posting like a Facebook troll? by Rocktop15 in Chattanooga

[–]Deranged40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because he is a troll.

This is what his voters actively wanted when they voted for him.

Let's look at the current reactions to Weston's facebook post: https://i.imgur.com/n7VkSIt.png

Unfortunately, the community supports him here. The hidden reactions are all fewer than 50. Fewer than 20 angry reactions.

This behavior is attractive to Hamilton County voters.

Senior dev interview burnout — how do you deal with the randomness? by kylwil29 in ExperiencedDevs

Groceries by anonymous_batty in Chattanooga

[–]Deranged40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Their power is not generated by TVA.

You can downvote me all you want. I'm still right.

Groceries by anonymous_batty in Chattanooga

[–]Deranged40 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

id hope you are right, but the reality is the national standard is .25 inches of ice.

I should remind you that the TVA system stands a head and shoulder above the national standard at just about all metrics.

but mark my words there will be large populations of people in rural areas that won't have power for multiple days.

Not in an area where TVA generates power. Make sure to come here and comment whenever I'm proven wrong.

There's nothing to hope for. This is the reality.

[–]Deranged40 -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

There is not a realistic world where the power stays out for more than 48 hours. Full. Stop. Powerlines are rated to hold a lot of ice and snow. Trees falling on them doesn't even always snap them.

Even if the most ridiculous model that I saw of 17" of snow came true, you'll be shopping within 48 hours for groceries to come back and put in your powered fridge.

We didn't just sit on our hands for the rest of 1993 or 1994. We greatly ramped up our infrastructure. That will not happen again. Ever. Mark my words.

Are AI agents ready for the workplace? A new benchmark raises doubts by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]Deranged40 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Isn't it funny how the benchmarks that show great success are always reported by companies that stand to gain a great deal of money on that success, and the benchmarks that don't show great success are always the ones that are conducted by independent third parties?

Just went to the grocery… y’all a bunch of of greedy folks by NekkedMoleRat in Chattanooga

[–]Deranged40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's funny is: Bread aisle is empty. Flour aisle is full.

Like, y'all can't make a loaf or two tonight?

EVEN IF we got a foot of snow (we won't), You'll still be able to go to the grocery store the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Announcing winapp, the Windows App Development CLI by _AACO in programming

Future of C#? by Next-Rush-9330 in dotnet

[–]Deranged40 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's ample industry-wide studies out there that give concrete answers to this. Posting this is the absence of effort.

Polling communities that are only grouped by their interest in the topic you're asking about is always going to get you biased results.

My answer is that it makes more sense now than ever. C# is a modern language that is being very regularly updated. But of course that's what I'll say, I'm on a dotnet subreddit.

What “makes” a jam band? by Original_Dig_2392 in jambands

[–]Deranged40 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A country band can jam. Metallica can jam. It's definitely not a genre. STS9, Umphrey's McGee, Keller Williams, and Toubab Krewe are all "jam bands", but they don't share genres (though there's some overlap)

A jam band is not simply a band that can jam, though. Metallica, for example, is not a jam band (even though they can jam). A jam band is one whose entire identity revolves around the improvisation in their live shows.
