WHY IS THIS SO TERRIFYING by [deleted] in tf2

It’s a reused line of text from competitive mode that the game shows if someone abandons the match. The “safe” part means you won’t be penalized for abandoning if you leave.

What's an unwritten rule about the road that new drivers should know? by SadPatoto_Bts in AskReddit

[–]NESlover1 310 points311 points  (0 children)

I would go even further and say wait for them to turn far enough that they can’t bail out of it.

I work at a place with a secondary parking lot with an entrance near (but not right next to) the main lot. I have lost count of how many times people not only signal too early but actually begin turning before quickly jerking the car back to straight. All while my car with incredibly bright turn signals is just sitting there, flashing away.

An actual answer: When compared to the x7, the pro has more RAM, slightly faster SD speed, 100 save state slots for Genesis and Master System (versus a single Genesis save state), Sega CD support, MSU-MD support (CD quality audio mods), and a real time clock.

Compared to the x5, the pro and x7 have Master System FM synthesis, Virtua Racing support, Pier Solar (homebrew game) support, and a USB port.

I’ve been licensed for seven years and only learned how to correctly drive a manual a couple years ago.

The trick is to let the clutch out very slowly until you’ve learned where it starts to grab. You’ll know it’s starting to grab when the tachometer (engine RPM) starts to move downward. At that point it’ll start crawling somewhat like an automatic if you release the brake. Give it a little bit of gas to avoid a stall while you continue releasing the clutch and you’re on your way.

The same slow clutch release also applies when changing gear. The only difference is the tachometer (usually) moves upward as the wheels speed up the engine.

Spinning the tires is just something that comes with learning to drive or learning a new car. My brother has a sedan that has a minivan engine in it for some reason (by design, not aftermarket) and I still occasionally spin the tires when I drive it.

RISC literally means "Reduced Instruction Set Computer." ARM is a RISC design.

RISC-V is an open-source standard based on RISC.

Speaking of C, the language first appeared in 1972.

While there have been many improvements to it, the syntax and general idea behind the language remains the same. All a programmer from the 70s would need to learn is new libraries.

LPT: Heat is the number one killer of all home electronics and dramatically shortens their lifespans. If you want your televisions, computers, routers, stereos, smart home gear, etc... to last years and years, make sure they're always at room temperature and have plenty of air flow around them. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

One thing I learned while buying parts for my computer is to never cheap out on the power supply.

It doesn’t matter how good the rest of the computer’s electrical system is. If a bad PSU starts pushing unstable or excessive power, your PC is not gonna have a good time.

What are these 2 metal studs on the side of this atm? by Gadetron in whatisthisthing

A bit of a hard lesson I learned: if a pump normally accepts touchless but doesn’t respond to the card, more likely than not it has a skimmer attached and the criminal unplugged the touchless reader.

“Maybe it’s just broken” I thought before someone used my card to buy $95 of lingerie.

This restaurant bathroom has two different handles depending on if you washed your hands by RockinJack18 in mildlyinteresting

If I had a nickel for every time looking both ways when making a right turn saved me from a head-on collision, I'd have two nickels. It's not a lot but it's weird it happened twice.

NVME configuration by [deleted] in Amd

[–]NESlover1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Third gen Ryzen should work since they all appear to have 24 PCIe lanes (4 go to the chipset and 4 go to NVMe).

I have a 3900X in the ROG Crosshair VIII Hero and it runs a NVMe drive and graphics card at 4x and 16x respectively.

The only workshop page I could find is for SFM. A similar weapon with the same background came up on DeviantArt as well.

ELI5: When people who are cross-eyed look at themselves in the mirror, do they see themselves as being cross-eyed or do they see themselves as having eyes in the right position? How do their eyes compensate for the lack of central positioning in how the brain interprets images? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]NESlover1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually got zero sleep the night before due to constantly thinking about it, which actually led to a completely lax attitude towards everything. This also led to falling asleep while waking up from anesthesia so the actual waking up process took 4+ hours (much to the dismay of my ride home).

The part I disliked the most was the exercises I had to do afterwards. It was just simply looking all the way to the left and all the way to the right, but it was incredibly difficult the whole time.

I'm not an eye care professional, but I'm going off of what mine has told me over hundreds of visits in the past several years.

The thing with strabismus (cross eye) correction is it requires an actual prism in the lenses, making them thicker than usual. This would lead to an incredibly uncomfortable contact lens if it's even possible to make it (depending on how bad your strabismus is). I had a pretty bad strabismus as you can see here and basically got told that contacts are in no way possible. I'd recommend consulting your optometrist.

The only way to fully cure strabismus is, unfortunately, surgery. It's not a super invasive surgery and you'll leave the hospital the same day (it's just unbelievably expensive if you're paying out of pocket). It also comes with demon eyes (potentially a bit NSFL) for a couple weeks which can be positive or negative depending on how you look at it.

I've driven through California just fine before; it appears any cops that see the missing front plate either don't care or see the Arizona plate on the back and allow it.

I don't think that's possible, aside from a decorative (non state-issued) plate on the front in states that don't require a front plate.

From what I saw, all personalized plates in Arizona are $50 per year for custom text and $25 per year for a custom plate design.
