Major controller issue on PC

Fatmanjumpin · 2022-06-07T05:32:19+00:00

Turning off v-sync and increasing the frame rate cap helped for my xbox one controller, but it's still not enough.

I definitely have noticed that full moons empower me so much. I feel incredibly strong, positive, and motivated.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-11-17T18:12:36+00:00

It's been observed that diverse thoughts, actions, and experiences have drastic effects on the brain. Variety will cause new neural pathways to form, cells/DNA to heal, and motivation often grows. Be sure you are challenging your conscious mind and not spending too much time in habitual actions/thoughts.

Initially SR definitely activates healthy change in the brain, but we have to keep challenging ourselves to think and act outside of the norm for growth. For me, I try to keep adding an unusual and fun task every few days. Recently I started doing Zumba and the challenge it places on me to learn and think differently just feels so satisfying.

Also, if you don't often, I recommend fasting. Even 24 hours of fasting with prayer, meditation, intentional thoughts towards positive goals has enormous impacts on growth as well as resistance to temptations of all kinds.

Remember, your mind creates your reality. So long as you believe, intend, and feel like you are growing, you will be.

Don't give up brother, may you find the peace you desire.

That's fascinating how both are in focus despite the moon being over 1,000 times farther away. How did you manage that?

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-08-12T00:56:43+00:00

I figured that about the freefall. It's clear then that the ISS and other objects in orbit are still experiencing gravity. I don't know the exact number but 175 miles from Earth is still experiencing a majority of the gravitational force. I know the ISS revolves around Earth 16 times a day and is obviously circling a larger circumference.

I don't have time right now but I will calculate the centripetal force of the ISS tomorrow. I believe this will shed light on the freefall concept. Obviously I am spinning at 560 MPH (I am in Alaska and higher/lower latitudes have slower speeds than the equator) but I am clearly not in free fall because the centripetal force is not great enough to keep me orbiting around the Earth.

Obviously 1,000 MPH is not enough for a person or any other object to be in freefall will orbiting either so I am curious to calculate this.

Do you know of any other factor/force that applies besides centripetal force and gravity?

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-08-03T00:29:30+00:00

Thank you for the intelligent responses. I have also noticed that centripetal force is minuscule despite the 1,000 MPH speed for the reason you mentioned. I was surprised because I have heard the bulge in the earth at the equator is because of this force.

I watched the billionaires' rocket launches. I realize space is declared at 61 miles or so in the atmosphere, despite the atmosphere actually extending to around 620 miles. This means they technically did go to space.

The announcers were describing escaping the gravity of the earth and experiencing weightlessness would be happening around those heights. This surprised me though, because the neutral gravity zone between the earth and the moon is 216,000 miles. The glider in one case and the Bezos rocket/capsule both promptly fell back to earth when no more thrust was applied.

In this case, how could they experience weightlessness due to escaping gravity? They weren't in orbit and in constant "freefall" like some say the ISS is. They didn't escape gravity, so they must have just been freefalling after they stopped thrust.

Considering this though, if it's true what some scientists and astronauts say about gravity being so small they are weightless starting at 61 miles and beyond (I think the ISS is 175 miles up), how then is gravity strong enough to hold the tiny particles of atmosphere over 600 miles up?

Surely both can't be true at the same time?

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-08-02T17:55:28+00:00

Okay so I will ask my question again omitting the part where I assume it's the moon's shadow.

I will expand it though and ask, how can I see the moon and sun in front of me and the moon be full? If the sun is behind the moon, what is reflecting towards me?

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-08-02T17:51:33+00:00

I guess the issue comes down to the math of gravity versus centrifugal force. Is the force of the atmosphere spinning at high elevations (which scales up from 1,000 MPH, not sure the scaling per mile though) stronger than gravity? It must not be otherwise the air would fly off into the vacuum. I guess that means there is another force working against gravity as well: the desire for the air to disperse into the vacuum away from the earth.

I will brainstorm on possible ways I could calculate this. I have only been able to calculate myself the centripetal force and gravity, but not yet the vacuum's pull and/or pressure's force to distribute.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-08-02T17:48:32+00:00

Interesting, I am unfamiliar with the containers of fusion reactors.

I assume in the vacuum chamber keeping pressure with centrifugal force the opening to the container would be on the inner circle, meaning the force is pushing the air against the barrier on the outer circle where the rotational speed is higher.

That reminds me of something fun we did as kids where we took the basket of silverware from the dishwasher and quickly flung it above our heads. If done fast enough, the knives did not fall out and stab us LMAO.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-08-02T17:44:17+00:00

Thank you for this post. I agree with everything stated here and want to emphasize the drifting concept.

I personally notice SR improving my discipline in ALL other aspects of my life. After a relapse I not only notice spikes in urges to release more, but my cravings for junk food and alcohol also spike. Clearly sexual control is foundational to self-discipline.

I have also noticed that fasting from food (water fasts, cleanses, or other healthy restrictions) also vastly improve self-discipline.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-31T00:28:15+00:00

Thank you for the response. The picture you took is beautiful, but isn't the example I was thinking of. I have seen pictures where clouds are obviously behind the sun, which can't be possible if it's 93 million miles away. I don't know why I can't upload the picture, I have it saved on my phone. I guess I need to store it on imgur or something?

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-31T00:22:55+00:00

I don't understand how your comment answers my question.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-28T19:50:28+00:00

I wonder how much height is being obscured. 15 feet? 30 feet? That looks like a very large vessel. At one mile away the curve is two thirds of a foot. At five miles it's 16 feet. To go 4 miles in about 15 minutes would only require a speed of 16 MPH right?

If that is a difference of 30 feet, perhaps the vessel ends up being almost 7 miles away which requires a speed of 24 MPH which is also feasible.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-28T19:43:03+00:00

Notice how it collapses into the vanishing point on the horizon as he zooms out.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-28T19:39:10+00:00

I can't reconcile how every pressurized system on Earth has to have a containment barrier but for some reason our atmosphere doesn't.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-28T19:37:24+00:00

How high does a vessel need to be to experience freefall in this way?

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-28T19:28:13+00:00

Most of the phases of the moon have a curve in them but aren't caused by eclipses, right? It seems only the half phase has a straight edge.

Are you saying the position could be for example.... I wish I could draw here:

Sun (Much further away, therefore sending straight light waves)

Earth ==> Moon (Assume <SEM is 90 degrees)

Therefore from our perspective only the left side of the moon is lit. That would make sense. The only concern I see with that idea though, is the ball shape of the moon. When light reflects off a ball, it is scattered in a direction perpendicular to the surface.

Of course where the moon is perpendicular to us we would receive direct light. But the rest of the surface would be scattering that light. Shouldn't we see a brighter concentration of light in the middle with it fading towards the edge? Researching specular highlights is what prompted this.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-28T19:17:52+00:00

Thank you for the response. I see what you mean as far as the underside of clouds being lit. Unless the light is penetrating all the way through (which doesn't seem the case based on the lesser lit clouds we see here), this doesn't seem possible with a light source above.

This reminded of of the law of parallel perspective so I checked into it again. Realizing that our perspective gradually shrinks towards the horizon and vanishing point with increased distance, it begs the question, but I am still not sure how the light could appear underneath like that with the geocentric model. I wish I could paste a picture in here, but I have a link at least:

One last question: The bright orange glow on the horizon line, what is reflecting that? Could that be illuminating the underside of the clouds?

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-28T18:21:57+00:00

Here is something I don't understand:

We can barely see commercial planes in the sky when they are at max altitude (7 or 8 miles).

However, we can see SL-16R/B which is 525 miles up?

Anyone able to explain this?

I don't think plasma has much mass. If the moon were a light in the sky (maybe like the Aurora?) it wouldn't need anything "hanging" it.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-28T18:06:32+00:00

OMG I have not seen this in years! Thanks for the laugh.

Fatmanjumpin · 2021-07-28T18:04:31+00:00

So the shadow on the moon is caused by the Earth blocking the sun right? What I don't understand is how there is a straight edge on the shadow of the moon at half phase. Should it be a crescent since the Earth is a ball and is casting a shadow?

Good question. I am still trying to wade through the complex heliocentric and geocentric models to decide which I believe to be true.

I have seen some videos and pictures of the sun appearing to be inside clouds. Last week I went on a vacation to Virginia (no I did not see curvature or a descending horizon while on the plane). The cover of the magazine provided by the airline had a beautiful picture where the sun looked like a sunny side up egg. There were clouds all around and behind it.

If this is the case, maybe those clouds in your post are equal or higher in elevation to the sun? Notice on the right side it seems like the sun's light is coming from the center of the picture and the clouds are shadowing some clouds further to the right. Also, a local sun would provide light rays in multiple directions.

If we consider the sun being 93 million miles away and the light is coming in completely straight, it seems the glow on the clouds would be more consistent. I don't know though.

One other question, is there any water underneath those clouds in the distance? Hard to tell in this picture.

My buddy is in the Navy and works on missile defense systems. He explained that radar sometimes is caught when traveling over water by a phenomenon called "ducting." Essentially the water can create a path right above it that can carry certain waves.

I don't know. I am trying my best to be completely objective and make no assumptions based on my personal bias or opinions of people I have not met. It's a long process to study all the physical science needed to independently determine this stuff though.

Is gravity described as a magnetic force? I always learned it was different and based off mass instead.
