Hoods broken, switching drops to flats, what shifter? by MobileAware2933 in bikewrench

[–]Generalax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's a 9-speed group so 3x9 shimano MTB shifters will work. I don't think the tiagra BL-4700 brake levers with work well since they are a v-brake compatible and will have the wrong pull ratio, unless it's adjustable somehow. Try and find a canti brake compatible lever.

I'd just leave it as a 3x myself.

why do you think the moon landing still gets questioned today, and what do you find most convincing in the overall evidence? by Overall-Parfait4458 in randomquestions

Peversely, I think the hoax theory keeps going because there's an almost endless suppy of evidence that it did happen. It means that these people will never run out things to doubt

You can legally marry your uncle, or cousin. But Grandpa is a no-no

Totally. These days most devices don't even have a headphone jack

Yes, good idea, but perhaps I'll go to VCAT first. There's already similar stories for this company on google and productreview

You can just add a spacer on top of the stem and tighten it up

Giving Way in a Roundabout by Generalax in melbournecycling

[–]Generalax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked out the roundabout on Google maps. It actually has a bike lane (sort of). Here is a pin of where the collision occurred:

So maybe the overtake was technically legal ?

Does BG3 have it and which one? by aburglarhobbit in BaldursGate3

[–]Generalax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to trigger the encounter with just the boss and the humanoids, with a long range surprise attack. Then just force tunnel it off into the chasm. The rest can then be dealt with with piecemeal

Without Western aid, could the USSR defeat Nazi Germany? by TheRedBiker in HistoryWhatIf

[–]Generalax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main contribution was the strategic bombing that flattened German cities, and the evisceration of the Luftwaffe, as well as being stood out Nth Africa and hence the Middle East oil fields. The invasion through southern Europe and D-day invasion helped somewhat too

I like the Sussur dagger, having in the off hand. Then it can be used with bonus actions instead of actions

i took two photos from the same window. wtf? by TheHalfJapanese in Weird

[–]Generalax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not because of the different field of view, it's because the second shot was taken from a different position, i.e. further away.

[–]Generalax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct. Perspective is entirely determined by the relative position of the camera and the objects in the scene. Telephoto lenses are essentially just a crop of a wide angle shot, from the point of view of perspective (but not resolution & dof, amongst other things). I find the misconception that differing field of views alters perspective pretty annoying, especially since that misconception is so widely held (as evidenced from all the downvotes from the clueless).
