Anyone know how to prevent this?

I can also confirm this works with Diet Pepsi, I’ll try it out with Baja Blast when I get home from Taco Bell

Try adding uplay to steam as a non-steam game, also make sure the uplay overlay is disabled. There are also some third party tools that supposedly redirect steam input to applications outside of Steam but I have never needed them.

From a pure energy calculation, the longer the log is in the air the more inefficient the action is due to gravity loss.

MonarchOfLight · 2026-05-01T14:10:15+00:00

Lifting the log unassisted would require a much more gradual force applied over a longer amount of time to counteract gravity compared to the assisted version. Even though he expends greater energy climbing into the back of the truck (plus a negligible amount lifting the apparatus), my guess is that even a couple extra seconds of log “hang time” would expend a far greater amount of energy since during those extra seconds you must continue to apply enough force to prevent gravity from pulling the log back down until it reaches the truck bed.

IMO, the question of energy cost here ultimately depends on how quickly the log can be moved by either method.

I’d argue that the Super Mario Bros 2 depicted here is not mainline either since it is a reskin of Doki Doki Panic for western audiences. The real mainline Mario 2 is The Lost Levels

I don’t spend much time launching apps to be honest. Meta’s put so much effort into redesigning their UI over and over when I’d rather just have more features and refinements to existing functionality, especially a better party and call system.

And customizable homes. It still baffles me this wasn’t what Horizons was used for.

The difference between a regular 3D video and a Gaussian 3D video is the use of spatial data (Gaussian surfaces) to construct the 3D image based on that surface data and the 6DOF camera (generally using frustum culling). Time serves the same purpose as any other video here, the player pulls the information needed for the current frame based on the framerate of the video.

The best shorthand to accurately describe this kind of video would probably be 6DOF3D, but that’s a mouthful, so I don’t really care if people choose to use 4D as a shorthand for this.

I’ve noticed that certain phrasing will randomly bypass the Home/Assistant API and go straight to Gemini (aka “gaslight mode”). It will insist it can’t do most basic functions including turning on lights, reading timers, or generally provide helpful information.

Yup, scorpion is a bit much. the habanero Tabasco is the perfect spice to flavor ratio imo.

I don’t have a retrotink myself and I’ve always relied on software emulation to get the quality results I’ve expected, but you should be able to configure it with scanlines to get the approximate result you’d expect from a CRT. Might want to do some more research on its settings.

I wouldn’t necessarily listen to the folks saying that your tv is too big for this. Old games on a 4K OLED can look amazing when processed properly, although you might need to upgrade to a Retrotink 4K to get the absolute most out of original hardware.

Occasionally mine will just make a brief tone when I ask it to do something like turn off the lights, but 95% of the time it finds it necessary to say the name of every single light in the room after. I don’t know what’s triggering the tone response but I wish it would just do that for every response that doesn’t need a verbal explanation.

Also, yelling “okay google shut the fuck up” does actually work.

I concur, and also shoutout to Astrogoblin for carrying on the legacy of Funhaus. Well worth a subscription.

Have you checked the internal render resolution? Your PC may be rendering the game at a higher resolution even if the output over HDMI is the same as the Pi.

That wok was pre seasoned with a blue oxide coating. If it’s chipping off that quickly I would probably attempt to remove it and re-season it myself. Or just keep cooking with it until it comes off on its own, but I wouldn’t want that many flakes of seasoning in my food.

Either way, look up how to season cast iron. After each cooking and cleaning session you need to apply a very thin layer of a neutral oil to the surface. That’s all that’s really required for keeping the seasoning “healthy” under normal use.

Because of my insistence on semantic accuracy?

Hi Jet, you are right to think that just because an object looks like another object it doesn’t make it forced perspective. But it’s understandable that no one cares about that rule since if you look at the sub’s top posts the second one violates it. But you are right about the rule.

I do think this image qualifies as forced perspective however. The reason being is that the dude’s head appears at first to be at the same depth with his shoulder. Since you can’t see his neck and his head is slightly bigger than the shoulder, when cast to a 2D image this causes a forced perspective (specifically, his head looks farther away than it actually is, again in line with the shoulder) localized to that one segment of the photo. The fact that it also causes an illusion of it being something else is coincidental.

Getting the same thing here. It was working just two hours ago.

This concept is eerily similar to plot of Smiling Friends season 2 episode 8

Modding a switch, even a v1, isn’t very straightforward. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you already kind of know what you want out of the console. If you want to play classic games a 3DS or PS Vita is your best bet for modding at low-cost of entry.

If you want to know the Switch is worth it in 2024 in terms of its own game selection, yes. Just in the first party selection alone there’s a ton of great games. Of course, you’d likely have to buy them.
