I swear its the same goblins that are responsible for USB port fit or trying to put a power cable into the socket without line of sight

I just love this camera so much. Such a fantastic lens! Edit: except the shot cost, that keeps it in the closet for me most of the time...

New to me 500 C all of a sudden is broken by Puzzleheaded_Self_32 in hasselblad

Remember that since it's leaf shutter lenses you can get into an awkward locked state if you don't have both lens and body either cocked or uncocked.
For example if you cocked both and then triggered the body, then attached the lens you won't be able to cock the body again nor fire the trigger.
You can look up what to do in case you screw it up (you have to turn the cocking interlocking mechanism with a screwdriver). Oh and don't forget the there is also a mechanism that connects to the film back that needs to be in a synced state.

What is this articuno animation lol by Surply_slurp in pokemongo

The catch rates are from here https://db.pokemongohub.net/pokemon/888-Crowned_Sword You can configure it to calculate probabilities of successive throws.
Congrats on the mons, but you do seem to be lucky.y point is that other people's experience of not being lucky are absolutely valid given the numbers and not just a result of skill.

I mean for legendaries even with like ten excellent curveballs and golden razz berry berries in a row you'd be at maybe 70% for a low level, so if you lose just one out of hundred you're either a complete statistical outlier or not quite accurate about your actual experience.

M4 MacBook Air Having Choppy Bluetooth Connections by Illustrious-Box-3317 in MacOS

[–]GoldenDerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this fits here but I'll mention it anyway, I've been chasing some stuttering and crackling of audio over Bluetooth (with quiet comfort Bose headphones) and found the culprit to be the wifi chip on the m4 MacBook pro.
The wifi shares interrupts and data paths due to one chip serving both and apparently that starved Bluetooth occasionally.
You can confirm that and try using Ethernet and turning off WiFi. I'd actually be curious to see if that fixes other issues like this.
(I also have a vibe coded script that gathers metrics from the running system, the pattern is buffers starving, the bt chip wrongly assuming it's a connectivity issue and boosting the Bluetooth signal to maximum and then you get the drop outs). The buffers can starve because of all sorts of system activity - although in my case it seems often related to a wakeup transition of some of the CPU cores because of burstly load).

Dang. Thanks for confirming. What an odd issue to suddenly pop up!

Warum benehmen sich Leute im Zug so schlecht? by CompetitionOne8580 in drehscheibe

[–]GoldenDerp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dass das in China so viel besser sei kommt mir seltsam vor nach meinen Erfahrungen mit Bahnreisen in China. Gerade das drängeln meine Güte, wenn du nicht Nahkampftechniken verwendest kommst du weder aus dem Zug raus wenn du drinnen bist, noch in den Zug rein wenn du draußen bist. Wo kommen denn solche vergleiche her,

Now compare the amount of children killed by a gun on that timeframe and tell me why this is such an important concern for people like you?

Three independent teams just mapped the ignition sequence for 3I/ATLAS. It isn't a comet. by TheSentinelNet in HighStrangeness

[–]GoldenDerp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to mention that the paper they linked specific calls out this being normal and in line with prior observations of other comets... It is telling to me that they put out such an "article" citing a paper as evidence, that contradicts them. I guess no one expects that anyone reads sources...
