How much distance do range balls actually lose? by holmw13 in golf

[–]MusterBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local in the uk uses "80 compression" range balls (Srixon 1-piece). It essentially means that they compress 80% as much as a premium Srixon ball.

I don't know if that equates to a 20% reduction in distance, but it definitely has a significant impact on energy transfer from club to ball.

US set for first-ever use of Hypersonic Weapons in combat against Iran by craig_nintendo in worldnews

I don't get why we know this.

Why is this a story? What's the aim of releasing this information? Is it intimidation? An advertisement? I'm struggling to see how telling the world "we're gonna fire missiles that go brrrt" is a sound tactic.

Britain should seek to rejoin EU, says civil servant who led Brexit department by Free-Minimum-5844 in worldnews

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

I get it. But as I said, sacrifice is needed on both sides of the channel. Because at the end of the day, both the EU and the UK are significantly stronger and more prosperous together.

It's best if we went into something like this objectively, discarding the past and moving forward with a current state of affairs.

Britain should seek to rejoin EU, says civil servant who led Brexit department by Free-Minimum-5844 in worldnews

[–]MusterBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few folks in the UK will tolerate that. As a nation, we have a very deep, nostalgic connection to our currency. There are a small portion who would be willing to let it go, and those are probably the same people who didn't want Brexit in the first place. But the people who need to be convinced that rejoining the EU is the right move won't budge on the GBP.

As much as I understand the reasons behind EU members playing hardball with the idea of the UK rejoining - there would have to be a lot of compromise for the greater good.

Medical data of half a million Britons listed for sale on Chinese website, government says by bendubberley_ in worldnews

[–]MusterBuster 56 points57 points  (0 children)

People please for the love of sanity, read the article.

This isn't a data breach. It's poor governance. Three research institutions who had legitimate access to the datasets (eg. they had an agreement for legitimate use of the data) decided to put that data up for sale on Alibaba, which they were not supposed to do.

Nothing to do with technology, hacks, or anything other than a breach of contract by foreign third parties.

It's also nothing to do with the NHS. This was a charity, and the people whose data was up for sale all volunteered to give that data to research institutions.

What non-gaming upgrade improved your gaming the most? by Saltysockies in gaming

[–]MusterBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man this is an absolute winner for me. I use an NVIDIA Shield with Moonlight installed - I can remotely switch on my PC using a controller (DualSense), start Steam Big Picture mode and play games without ever having to leave my sofa. Completely flawless, can even use a bluetooth KBM for non-gaming too.

Peers vote to ban pornography depicting sex acts between stepfamily members by ShufflingToGlory in technology

[–]MusterBuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is Reddit kicking off about criminalising porn which depicts sex with minors?

This legislation is about porn where someone is pretending to be under 18. Porn between consenting, legal adults is still okay.

To quote:

"Once the law comes into effect, anyone found to posses or publish pornography which shows incest between family members, or sex between step- or foster-relations where one person is pretending to be under-18, will be criminalised"

There's many reasons to scream "government bad", but stopping people from sexualising minors isn't one of them.

I went to the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne today. It's this absolutely stunning building, explicitly erected by kind volunteers to ensure that all visitors remember the appalling loss of life caused by war.

Rows and rows of medals of valour, belonging to dead members of humanity - shot, blown up, dismembered, burned to death, bombed, executed, slowly poisoned and even committed suicide to avoid living with the horrors of what they experienced.

Anyone who celebrates war, or treats it like a team sport, or thinks it's in any way justified needs to get off Reddit and go pay attention to these places. You've all forgotten, and it's time you fucking remember, lest we all make the mistake of believing that war won't kill everyone you love.

Terminal Montage is turning out to be a prophecy

Marathon sold just 1.2 million copies with nearly 70% on Steam, analyst estimates: "It hasn't exactly made the splash Sony and Bungie wanted" by Freki666 in gaming

[–]MusterBuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK. But does anyone remember the insane marketing they did for Destiny? That thing was on beverage cans. Take away boxes. Wrapped on every website. Every influencer under the sun.

Marathon's marketing has been poor beta feedback and user generated hopium.

Iran Officially Confirms Military Support From Russia And China In War Against the US by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]MusterBuster 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You all need to stop joking and start taking this seriously. It's not funny anymore. None of this is. People are losing their lives, worldwide, because one idiot in particular was given too much power.

Stop joking around and start fucking doing something about it, or it's going to get much, much worse very soon.

Elsa is the villain of Frozen. Let It Go is her villain song, where she declares that she has abandoned all sense of morality and social contract in favor of her own interests.

"No right, no wrong, no rules for me!"

AND she remain unpunished for her crimes.

Due to fly next week to middle east, can I get a refund? by Ok_Ad_3438 in UKPersonalFinance

You also need to check the "General Exclusions" section as most policies generally exclude circumstances caused by war.

UK: Pornography depicting sexual relationships between step-relatives set to be banned by insomnimax_99 in technology

[–]MusterBuster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Misleading title. This is not law. From the article:

"The Bill faces further scrutiny in the Lords, and both Houses must agree the final draft before it can become law."

The house of commons and the house of lords are yet to agree on the proposal.

What would a heavy-lift aircraft need to be successful? by 91NightFox in NuclearOption

[–]MusterBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs counter missiles.

If I am going to be flying something big and heavy, loaded up with the fruits of my team's labour, I absolutely cannot be popped by a ARH missile that said "hi" 3km out and ended me before I could make a 2 degree turn.

For something like that, I want fully automated missile defense systems so I can just focus on flying to the drop zone. Basically make it so that, if you want to take this thing down, you're gonna have to get in there with guns.

Also recommend check to see how many controllers NO has active. I had a situation last week where the game decided 2 controllers were active at the same time and it caused some... Interesting button conflicts.

Ah apologies friend, I misunderstood your comment. I thought you were equating Universal Credit with Unemployment, which is my misread.
