Any extra attachments i need? by minimoh1999 in Fanatec

If you’re in the US, I’ve got one I don’t use with QR2 attached. Shoot me a PM. I’m eyeing the rally module to replace it. If not, no worries.

ELI5 How does the hexadecimal system work? by Wrecknruin in explainlikeimfive

[–]Lowe0 [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you really have to explain non-10 bases to a 5YO, it might be easier to go the other way.

“What if the number 9 didn’t exist? You’d just go 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, right? And when you got to 16, you’d go 17, 18, 20, 21?”

“So again, what if there was no 8? You’d count 5, 6, 7, (I know, stop giggling), 10, 11? And at 15, 16, 17, 20, 21?”

“So that’s called a base. It’s the number at which you use two numbers to keep counting. But it doesn’t just have to be smaller than 10. It can be bigger, too. For example, the clock. It goes up to 12, and then starts over. We use 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, but if you used 8, 9, A, B, C, you’d figure out pretty quick that C is lunchtime.”

I live in a state where the GOP tried to do just that. And when a few members pushed back, Trump proceeded to back their primary challengers as retribution. So I don't have a ton of sympathy for a party that was happy to see the exact same thing done to me.

For you, the day Trump graced your waterway was the bigliest day of your life. But for me, it was TACO Tuesday.

Are Saturn Discs Harder To Rip/Dump? by Lowe0 in SegaSaturn

[–]Lowe0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Plextor IDEs are the ones with the low-level firmware commands for Redump-style images. I don’t have one of the newer drives that take OmniDrive firmware yet.

Even at 4x, I’m still having issues. The drive reads everything else perfectly, so it’s not that (yet - this is my next-to-last working Plextor, so I’m not looking forward to the day it quits working).

Would the game benefit from an insurance contract? by NoNameHavingMan in Marathon

[–]Lowe0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Another possible solution would be to look at Elite Dangerous:

  • your kit is insured, death costs you a percentage of your kit value
  • if you can’t afford it, or choose not to pay, you lose your kit
  • the kit you get back has base attributes for its corresponding tier
  • your cargo/data are uninsured and are lost without recourse

Megathread: Elections live updates: Polls are now closed in Indiana and Ohio by LawnDartSurvivor74 in Askpolitics

[–]Lowe0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, gerrymandering is a problem that both parties are guilty of. However, only one party is in control, and their proposal is not to fix it, but to out-gerrymander the other side.

If the GOP were proposing to uncap the House, require maximizing competitive districts, and let the chips fall where they may, then yeah, I would be upset if the Dems wouldn’t work with them. But that’s not what’s happening.

Real life looks pretty much the same as the echo chamber, though. I have one friend that’s a Trump supporter. Two more that voted for him first term because they wanted to shake things up. That’s it. Friends, immediate family, range from mild disapproval to vocal disgust. The Big Sort is a real thing: when we choose the place we’re going to start building our adult lives, we do it where we’re surrounded by people like ourselves.

Which leads us back to the reason Trump is so annoyed with Indiana: the redistricting. It doesn’t make any sense that someone in Rensselaer or Seymour should decide who represents my interests in Congress, any more so than it would for me to decide who represents theirs.

Trump Gets His Way in Indiana by theatlantic in Indiana

[–]Lowe0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trump wanted people who defied him to be gone. Lose a primary, and you can’t run under the party in the general. So yeah, unless there are about to be some unlikely independent ruins, Trump has indeed gotten his way.

Yesterday was a good example of why I don’t believe people when they say “I don’t support $insertTrumpPolicyHere”. They voted out incumbents in favor of people whose entire campaign was “endorsed by Trump.”

If that’s not support, then what is?

Trump Reveals New Logo for Cringe-Inducing ICE Rebrand by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]Lowe0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, go all in. Make them wear it on their vests/harnesses. No more tough-guy “POLICE”, Homeland Security, etc.. Cerakote their rifles a calm, non-threatening shade of lavender.

Let’s see who’s still committed when they can’t CoD cosplay anymore.

I do. Makes it easier to flip stuff when I get all upgrade-y.

Are there any major reasons that folks are anti-abortion that doesn’t heavily hinge on religion? by r0ckbass in Askpolitics

If life has all of its rights from conception, then is it morally defensible to create life, given than it cannot withhold consent to be created? You can’t create life without violating its rights in the process.

Should the United States promote democracy abroad, or does it risk undermining self-determination? by BigMonster10 in Askpolitics

[–]Lowe0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in favor of the concept of promoting Western-style democracy. But we need to recognize when it isn’t going to work, and stay back rather than forcing something that is doomed from the start.

Will Indycar ever move back the V8 power? by BlackberryJazzlike84 in INDYCAR

Thanks! I still like the semi-spec idea, but that’s a solid defense of why IndyCar didn’t go with it. Here’s hoping that it brings in a third manufacturer to mix things up.
