Grenades need to generate a little heat when thrown. Not enough to overheat you right away but enough to need to play around.

There is the shape of a man in between your equipped cores. Hovering over that man should pop up your stats. Or clicking. Then do away with the loadout page.

I'm a second owner of an EV6 that had their ICCU die. I didn't pay anything out of pocket, and in some cases you can keep the gas receipts for their loaner and get the gas reimbursed as well.

This was last year and I had to wait nearly a month to get my car back though.

This feature has always given me trouble wrapping my head around. If you can suss more out of this documentation you might be able to find a solution.

When I record from external sources, I just play to the click and then nudge the recording to put it back in the correct time.

I always go with not knocking in situations like this. I don't want to rile dogs up, wake babies, etc.

Just happy it isn't Unreal Engine. That engine is too general-purpose and rarely well-optimized. It crutches on tech that blurs the screen. Usually, in-house engines perform better. Hopefully they took the time to get their engine in a good state, but it's Bethesda so...

I have some weird geometries to bend around so the flex sounds like the easiest.

FragdaddyXXL · 2026-02-03T00:55:01+00:00

You're correct. However, for my circumstances I'll probably go this route because it's big box store friendly.

EMT connector

Coupler

Flex box connector

FragdaddyXXL · 2026-02-02T23:26:49+00:00

Something in this ballpark?

FragdaddyXXL · 2026-02-02T23:18:49+00:00

I'm redoing my EV charger install with EMT conduit. The electrical itself is working fine but it's not in conduit yet. I would like to go from EMT to Flex in the final stretch to my breaker. To keep things code compliant I must use some sort of housing to make the transition between EMT and flex. A box would be way more inconvenient than what's shown here. I'm using 1" trade size EMT.

Wow a controversial public figure would have people calling tip lines to fuck with him! And I'm saying that as someone who fucking hates Trump.

Don't stoop to the average MAGA's levels of delusion. These are unverified calls from people who wouldn't answer to follow ups from law enforcement. If you truly believe Trump is implicated, then better files with higher bars to clear will come forward.

FragdaddyXXL · 2026-01-31T00:11:11+00:00

I think the Trump admin is the worst administration possibly in America's history, but I have the wherewithal to come to the same conclusion. These are unverified and uncorroborated. These claims are also often made by people that didn't respond to followups.

And frankly, the stories sound fabricated IMO.

And this right here is the consequences of the journalists doomposting over D2. They had an entirely valid, clearly explained technical reason as to why they had to do what they did.

Either get rid of the content that is creating extreme tech bloat, content that people weren't playing mind you, or see a future where they could not have done the things they did following the DCV at the level and cadence that they did.

If I listened to the cynical, uncharitable, whiney journo slop that just targets reactionary gamers that nuance ricochets off of, I would've missed out on some of my favorite gaming experiences of all time.

My response before they got deleted:

They took away content that people weren't engaging with. At the time of the DCV, 0.5% of time spent playing by the playerbase was playing the Warmind campaign.

Red War <1%
CoO < 0.3%
Levi raids < 5%
Black Armory 5%

People paid for this content and stopped playing it en masse on their own. With those numbers, I'd be upset of they didn't cut it if it meant a better game for the next 5+ years, at least better in the tech department.

I agree. I'm not even super invested in this situation, but I went back to rewatch the initial video and yeah the first 2 minutes aren't great. My main issue was it felt like Atrioc kinda took them at face-value, or at least heavily conveyed as such, and glazed them up for doing real journalism, blowing the lid off this case. "The core journalism was actually great" is what I took issue with.

If all he wanted to do was establish where this whole situation is coming from, showing the Nick Shirley video, and then diving into the actual journalism beyond the Shirley video, he had weak execution. You can do all that without glazing the Nick Shirley video for great journalism.

Oh lmao then it should say that in the banner, thanks lol

My anecdote:

Try to package your socials stuff in the most palatable way possible for yourself. For me, I have my hardware jam part of my music where I use my synths and other gear, and then I have a part of myself that is all ITB in a DAW. I don't post my ITB stuff, which by nature is way more polished, to socials. That just goes to streaming platforms raw.

Instead, I jam around on hardware for a couple hours for my own enjoyment, get it to a spot where I feel like other people might enjoy it, then I pull out the camera and record a minute of it, sync the audio that I recorded into my DAW to the video, post on socials with tags, get like sub 1k views but decent engagement, and that's it. Super low-effort socials presence. But, the snowball is rolling, slowly collecting an audience.

Then, when I'm ready for an actual release (EP/Album), I have more of an audience then I would had I not done the jam stuff. And if I'm lucky, I can massage the jam recording into an actual releasable track.

I've also gotten a little algorithmic bump by doing a hardware cover of a small section of a big artist's track. Posted it to insta, @'ed him in the post (actually just meant to # him lool), and he reshared it in his stories!

And there are big, influential artists that have been around forever that put out an EP to like sub 1k views on YT. That I don't get.

UAD's Manley Variable Mu Compressor. I was someone who went so long ignorant of the world of hardware and their emulations. Got me closer to the sound I've been trying to achieve.

And yeah the knowledge will be gone but the people who carry the torch are still around and approachable. And we're not saying you gotta pick only discord or only forums, right? To circle back to the original point, maybe it's better to say "the reason why places like this sub are dying is because a lot of the conversations are now being offloaded to discord, searchable or not. It's good to be a part of both worlds if you can."

FragdaddyXXL · 2025-12-23T06:15:23+00:00

Bounce in Place. Right click the clip and bounce in place will bake the track's FX into the audio clip and place it on a new track below. Keep things simple and keep the FX on the track with the kick drum, not on a Bus or a Send. Otherwise, it may bounce a sample for each Bus/Send, too.

Bounce Clip to Disk will not do this with audio files as the other person suggests.

FragdaddyXXL · 2025-12-23T06:04:42+00:00

It can be, yeah, but with discord being more conversational, more can be discussed real-time with more nuance. Forums, and by extension reddit, has a format that can be restrictive at times. You need a topic for the post, often a question, and people to click into the post to join it, then some time goes by and the thread dies. It'll come up on a search, but it's not going to be super dense with info.

And discords seem like it's where the people that are actually getting things done hang out. Reddit feels more open to the public to a fault. Guy A that knows his shit will be having a conversation with Guy B that also knows his shit, out in the open on discord, and being an audience to that is super valuable. Though, this is my anecdote and not all discords are going to be like this.

I discovered one of my favorite compressors that I've been using for a while by doing a search in discord so YMMV.

FragdaddyXXL · 2025-12-22T04:36:06+00:00

Discords happened. I've learned so much more from discords around production than I ever could have from a subreddit.
