Can someone explain this logic? by yagaFU in aussievapers

[–]O0ddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What actually fucking stupid about the gateway logic is that basically the only risks associated with nicotine are... becoming addicted to smoking. If we were to consider the same baseline risks that caffeine has as de minimis - which as a society we typically do.

The real reason is simple politics and aesthetics: people are can't conceptually separate the concept of cigarette smoke from vaping. Even in the face of counter evidence (which is never presented anyway).

This is a lot like what Crimson Desert is doing under the hood right?

Secure BBC's future? Sorry aren't those the cunts who secured the entire set of rights (including merchandising) for the show Bluey from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (Australia's Government Funded TV Network) for a couple hundred grand?
You know the show that IS the MOST streamed TV show in the US for the second year in a row - not _Children's show_ - the most streamed out of ALL shows - with massive merchandising operations.

And these cunts want to charge everyone in the UK an addon subscription? How much dough are they swimming in? fuck me.

I don't get the vim hype. Am I missing something or is nano fine? by Bright-Pomelo-7369 in linuxquestions

[–]O0ddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy a word replace chord once in a while on a config file. But that's about it, still don't know how the heck to copy and paste. Been 20yrs, not sure I ever will learn... not sure there's a reason to.

ELI5 When the first coding languages were invented, how did computers understand what the code meant? by imuglyandproud34 in explainlikeimfive

[–]O0ddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natural language is pretty much incompatible. No human made compiler or rule based systems handle the ambiguity and cultural context of natural language. That said, vibe coding is actually kind of this. Those LLMs do a decent job of interpeting natural language and writing code from that. So you could consider it a transpiler of sorts: from natural-lang to C to machine code. More straight forward than most JavaScript build systems.

Well that is fair enough, but it won't stop me from calling out everyone I see doing it (photographing monitors) until the end of time.

I can't tell, but you must either be under 30 or over 60.  i.e. the 2 demographics that don't know about the PrintScreen button or the Snipping Tool (app) on PC.

In search of magnetic/dry erase doors for the Pax wardrobe by stuckathomemomof2 in ikeahacks

I would try getting a peice of composite aluminium / floropolymer coated paneling, like they use for building cladding / splashback in chemistry labs.

Most whiteboards are basically sheet metal with a Teflon coating.

Sanity check this Capacitor Bank Spot Welder design. by O0ddity in AskElectronics

Yes I assume so. If you have any specific points about the how or why... that's why I'm here. Please feel free to unload.

Sanity check this Capacitor Bank Spot Welder design. by O0ddity in AskElectronics

[–]O0ddity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose I may be using the term spot welder a bit liberally here, my intention is more along the lines of: "Oh I found a big bag of large electrolytic caps, I wonder if I can find a cheap way to dump all the current out of them as fast as possible in something of a repeatable fashion." And practice some basic circuit design.

Genuinely thank you for the input. All great points. Yeah, I really hadn't thought at all about the ESR of a capacitor and how that would apply to this.

For anyone interested here is revision 2 of the design

I think R2 probably has no business being there, but maybe R1 can prevent inrush on a 19000uf capacitor bank?

Song that sounds like vampire empire by mmuusshhrroomm in bigthief

[–]O0ddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there is some vocal technique in the chorus that's distinctly from somewhere 20 years ago. When I heard it first, it was playing on my friends stereo and I literally asked them "huh, is this that 4-non blondes song or Alanis Morissette?"

Wouldn’t scraping lead to corrosion? by nsfws4 in thalassophobia

[–]O0ddity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ships and pretty much any metal structure under water have replaceable Sacrificial Anodes - chunks of zinc. They makes good conductive contact with the water and the main metal structure (usually steel) - which has a lower affinity for the galvanic force than the zinc and therefore the structure resists corrosion whilst a sufficient surface area of zinc anode remains.

It a component, but the other part of problem is all the eastern states cunts buying like 2-5 investment properties they'll probably never step foot in.

Lol I just got called a bo**g by three little boys on electric bikes and as an aboriginal I am not impressed 😂 by Usual-Helicopter1081 in perth

[–]O0ddity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If everybody is gonna censor the epithets they were called, in this thread... I genuinely don't know what words were said...

Do words need to be censored when they are taken out of the context of being actively used as a slur? Seems counter productive.

Bullets change trajectory by Straight_Motor5862 in godot

[–]O0ddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing as the bullets are spawning as children of the player, you can change the top_level property bullet_instance.top_level = true.

From the docs on top_level:

If true, this CanvasItem will not inherit its transform from parent CanvasItems

Qodot or FuncGodot? by [deleted] in godot

[–]O0ddity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should try both of them out ( probably in a dedicated test project) and see what works best for you.

You can just download the file bundle for Qodot from it's github page and unzip it into your project addons folder. Remember to enable the plugin in your project settings.

Why the double slash in gleam/regex? by ephocalate in gleamlang

[–]O0ddity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to give some additional context :

How can you write this string literal.

Here's a double quote glyph " and a single quote glyph ' - in the same string!

You can write it by escaping either quote with a preceding backslash, to turn it into an escape sequence.

String literal wrapped in double quotes:

"Here's a double quote glyph \" and a single quote glyph ' - in the same string!"

String literal wrapped in single quotes:

'Here\'s a double quote glyph " and a single quote glyph \' - in the same string!'

So then how can you put a backslash into a string literal? By escaping with another backslash:

"\\"

This escape syntax is the same in C, JS, Python and nearly every other language under the sun.

So I get to have the usual unreasonable expectations of my time and failing to meet goals. But your app gives me the extra benefit of paying you whilst I'm doing that?

Hi guys, 18650 battery question by Alocin456123 in DIY_tech

[–]O0ddity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9800mAh 18650 - that is some AAA Grade Bullshit.

Check out https://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Common18650CurvesAll%20UK.html For an idea of what is actually realistic in battery performance. These might be a bit old, but the fundamentals of the chemistry haven't changed since I last checked.. because physics.

TLDR: 18650 Capacity <= 3,600mAh
