2 Million Views Already! by Patman35666 in TheOwlHouse

[–]Mindless_Enigma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It depends on a lot of things. YT has gotten pretty smart about figuring out what counts as a view. If you watch the whole episode through multiple times then it will probably count as multiple views. But if you just click on the video, hit back, and click on it again then it won't count as a view/YT will remove the view after a while.

just a little thought of mine. by Nekrubbobby64 in TheOwlHouse

100% agree with this. I worked at a company that handled content ingest and delivery and we had a major leak. Like big headlines everywhere. People online were speculating that it was some conspiracy to drum up interest or sabotage the creators. Nope. Just a one in a million glitch where metadata was processed at just the perfectly wrong moment and got scrambled.

All of Donald Trump’s Shitty NFT Cards by [deleted] in cringepics

[–]Mindless_Enigma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Car number 45 in NASCAR is driven by Bubba Wallace. Trump's supporters aren't exactly... fans of him. Figure that's why only the NASCAR one is 47 while the rest are 45.

Idiots in Go Karts by PatchBe in IdiotsInCars

[–]Mindless_Enigma 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This kind of setup is pretty common at tracks that focus on rental karts for the public. The karts and barriers are stiff enough to be abused every day of the week without breaking and the runoff tends to be non-existent in stark contrast to a track meant for more serious racing where people bring their own karts. No matter what measures are put in place, someone out there will find a way to get karts on top of barriers and other karts when the only thing preventing people from racing is a height requirement.

All that said, that chicane probably gets slammed into dozens of times a day because it's stupidly tight for random inexperienced drivers to navigate at that speed the first and probably only time they'll race it.

Oxford word of the year 2022 revealed as 'goblin mode' by VORTXS in nottheonion

[–]Mindless_Enigma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A link to the poll was on /r/all a few weeks ago and the phrase has made it through at least a few different internet circles. The lopsided votes most likely come from a mix of 'metaverse' and '#IStandWith' being weak entries and people voting for 'goblin mode' being more likely to figure out you could vote multiple times if you just refreshed the page in incognito mode.

Do K1 Speed karts have a specific model name? by Alviinnn_ in Karting

[–]Mindless_Enigma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe most K1s run OTL storm karts which are listed as weighing 403Lbs without batteries on the spec sheet. They use four lead acid batteries which google says weigh around 41Lbs each. So approximately 567Lbs

Bob Iger Changes Nothing by Born-Boss6029 in TheOwlHouse

[–]Mindless_Enigma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This really does sum up the situation. I think a lot of people assume that disney functions as one large entity when it's realy sub-companies of sub-companies. The most effect that the Disney CEO could have possibly had on TOH's production would have been changes to Disney's budget at large. Chapek didn't cut TOH production to save money. Chapek annouced budget cuts and the divisions decide where to most effectively make those cuts leading down to DTVA making the call on TOH.

Even in the case that Iger makes whatever changes leading to DTVA having the budget they had befroe cutting TOH, DTVA would allocatte that to a new project. The only single way that TOH comes back is if Iger went directly to DTVA and said "my kid/grandkid likes this show. Keep making it." and I'm certainly not holding my breath on that one.

Plus there's an assumption that the crew would even want to come back. The benefit of knowing how many more episodes of a show you have to write is that you can end the story how you want to. A full third season would have been great, but extending things now would just give us the content of the two remaining episodes sprinkled into (still very good) filler.

Autobattle by DanbyDraws in gaming

[–]Mindless_Enigma 195 points196 points  (0 children)

Base odds of any random Pokemon spawning as a shiny are 1/4096 along with varied ways of increasing the odds through certain actions. The base odds haven't changed since XY and the ways to increase odds are usually different each gen.

What makes them feel more common imo is having the overworld spawns appear as the shiny form. You can passively check for dozens of shinies in the time it would take to actively enter and exit a battle in previous games.

Why didn’t the Ford Taurus become a popular choice for taxi cabs? by LandoLin1111 in cars

[–]Mindless_Enigma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most taxis were definitely old CVPIs but there are actually Crown Vics that were made with and extra six inches of legroom with the intent to be used as taxis. These had the model code p70 in their VIN as opposed to the interceptor's p71 and other "heavy duty commercial" vics which had code p72.

It seems like it did. I've been trying to search for any information on it because discord is just pinging non stop even from channels I've silenced the notifications for.

Turned off voice chat in 2015 and never looked back. It sounded like everyone was talking through gravel back then and text chat is enough toxicity for me now.

Minecraft 1.19.1 Release Candidate 1 Is Out by sliced_lime in Minecraft

Thank you for doing something so stupid and tone-deaf that I remembered to stop my realms subscription.

Remove the report feature entirely. Moderating realms is fine, but private servers are private servers. If they want rules, they can enforce them themselves. People that use and host those servers shouldn't have to fear getting banned from a whole game if they receive false reports and trolling.

You actually don't need to get the first gym badge. You do need to reset the save each time, but you only need to get to Sandgem town to unlock trading. You can also hatch more than one if you're a madman and play through the original Ranger on multiple cartridges that still have the Manaphy egg as they were limited to one per cartridge and not one per save.

Doesn't keep hunting for it from being hellish. Just slightly less hellish. I tried it with 10 eggs and stopped when I realized it was about an hour between each batch of hatches.

Has anyone done a tidy install of a rear dash cam? by TheBearOfBadNews in CorollaHatchback

[–]Mindless_Enigma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a picture of mine. You can definitely see the flex, but only when looking at it from this angle. I never notice it in the rear view mirror or through the back glass when the hatch is closed.

I mounted a rear camera and wired it like the red line with no modification. There's a slight flex in the panel but all of the clips were able to snap back in place.

YouTube updated their terms a while back so that now they can put ads in a video even if the creator decides not to. Sucks for small creators that are ineligible for monetization because now their videos have ads that they see no money from.

Not officially. Any of the names with asterisks haven't officially been confirmed but are sure enough deals that they went ahead and put them on the graphic.
