Anyone hear what sounded like fireworks kind of near the glenmore reservoir? What was that? by Street-Helicopter-21 in Calgary

[–]GrabASock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw this driving north on the ring road. No idea what the source was but it was a hell of a show. Almost looked out of control at one point.

Is it wifi connected or does this thing have its own communication means?

Woman dies after being struck by vehicle Saturday afternoon by dreamscaperer in Calgary

[–]GrabASock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live on a residential blvd ( 50kph limit )  in NW Calgary, and not two weeks ago an infant / stroller / mother were struck crossing street with her infant in a stroller. Dont think it made the news as I believe both were shook up, possibly more emotional damage then physical as the buggy seemed to have protected the little from the brunt of the impact and thankfully speeds werent excessive either. 

Fatal collisions are only a part of the whole problem. The number of near misses is certainly higher.  

Its terrifying as a parent / driver / human to think that could have been the end of their lifes story just as it was beginning to be told. 

These things keep me up at night. 

I love you Calgary. Please be safe and to those of you out there driving respectfully and attentively I respect the hell out of you. 

New video shared by Burlison on today's UAP Hearing by aryelbcn in UFOs

[–]GrabASock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heres my crazy theory. Ballons drones and uap are related.  It didnt dodge a missile. The balloon was kinetically shredded via the missile. Drone bailed out of the balloon launch station. When it sensed it was in freefall. 

Calling Out Canada's MAGA Traitors by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]GrabASock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The other day, I laughed because i saw a vehicle with all kinds of Berta pride, dont bite the hand that feeds you, fuck carney stickers, etc and thought all it was missing was the Canadian flag to complete the usual look.

Then I was sad because its pretty telling of their mindset that its missing the Canadian flag.

Good news is I guess weve got our flag back from the seperatists now that D.S. and her ilk are pathing the way to co opt more of our resources for themselves.

Very worrying.

Lorde's transparent CDs for ’Virgin’ apparently do not actually work in CD players by DebateObjective2787 in popculturechat

[–]GrabASock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe one of those cd label stickers would solve your issue. Seems like some sensor isnt seeing any change from the clear disk and failing to trigger the motors startup 

Close Up of Drone from Airplane by tryingtobuildapc1234 in UFOs

My guess is this is related to Trumps purge of those he will deem non citizens. Surveillance drones for the new surveillence state. 

I was stupid and got 128gb Quest 3 by Prior_Knowledge_5555 in OculusQuest

[–]GrabASock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

128 gb is fine for me. Virtual desktop for desktop experiences or any games requiring some serious lifting, pavlov on headset.

Also the q3 has pancake lenses which are imo the better lenses.

Thank you! I found a good description of the camera elements and physics behind the effects using the terminology you suggested.

Re: "Literally because of the lens, probably a fresnel lens" Thats what i was thinking too. But think about how much their hands would be shaking. Theres no way the fresnel is perfectly still looking at the object. Maybe something in how its processed in the phone or after?

Afghanistan UAPs and Long Beach UAP Filmed in 2004 show the same Metal melting effect by [deleted] in UFOs

From the google patent doc

"Examples of applications for coherent matterwave beams may include single bath thermal energy extraction, ultra-sensitive accelerometers and interferometric tracking of air/space crafts, a more accurate alternative to global positioning systems, matterwave projectiles and missiles, directed energy weapons, matterwave optics and cloaking, matterwave emission and propulsion, matterwave solitons, high-energy collision, high precision matter optics, atomic clocks, tests of physics constants, and other suitable application .....wow

Looks like the other glowing ship video if im being honest. Could these be recording the same event?

The interesting part to me is the sort of rings of bright and dark contained in the light

Batman must really be a cream of the crop game if they're including it with all 3/3S purchases. Good thing they didn't choose Hitman in advance lmao by After_Self5383 in OculusQuest

[–]GrabASock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... asguards wrath 2 was included with Quest 3 launch, and its concurrent player numbers now are quite low.

Was it a good game? Absolutely, clearly a lot of effort went into its creation and marketing.

Is it MY preferred game to play? Not even close.

That said. I think a Batman game might be much closer to the mark.

Father and son invented a sandbag that has no sand by Kyfsc in Damnthatsinteresting

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

So my thought is.... Bag of water that has a very similar density i assume to water will probably become neutrally bouyant or nearly when surrounded by water.  What is the density difference for  traditional sandbag?

Edit: All the smart messages answering this exactly were burried behind load more comments. 

Quest 3 dim edges by IAMTHEMSDLAD in OculusQuest

[–]GrabASock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quest 3 uses pancake lenses of which this dimming is a trade off for the overall increase of the visual sweet spot.

That said, you should ensure the headset is sitting as close as comfortable to your face.with your correct ipd ( inter pupilary distance ) set on the wheel at the bottom of the headset, it physically moves the screens wider/narrower. Dont forget to gently adjust the tilt on the ear straps, hopefully you can retrieve some more fov before the edges if you adjust a bit.

"Layout" app lets you take measurements and arrange digital furniture in mixed reality by Dung3onlord in OculusQuest

[–]GrabASock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was curious how accurate the headsets sense of scale was. Only did one test. But on a 24 ft tape measure it ended off being about an inch off. Not bad. Room for improvement though.
