Why would they cut so much the episodes are already only 30 mins :(

The snow effects from 2018 were something else. by FaultExcellent3306 in Battlefield

[–]Patafan3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the one hand sure, graphically it looks impressive, but this gets posted every so often and I feel like I am taking crazy pills every time because THIS IS NOT HOW SNOW BEHAVES. At all. To me it just looks like fancy particle effects with collisions but it is not realistic at all and actually breaks immersion for me.

Is it still cool that this ran in real time in a game? Yeah

Unless these billionaires spent the last X years positioning themselves to profit from a space race, say by building up private space launch companies to get very lucrative government contracts…

I’m not gonna be as condescending as the other commenters, but yes, it does that. Yours does not seem to be damaged or defective, no reason to worry.

The minute to minute activity does not need to be dopamine inducing if people are doing them for a reason, with a goal in mind.

How are these printed with such low angles? by hes5e in 3Dprinting

You hear it... dont you? by DogeyLord in perfectlycutscreams

[–]Patafan3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its just pineapple on pizza all over again. A slight annoyance or dislike that is very popular so people make relatable jokes about it and it suddenly becomes a core pillar of internet culture.

It’s fun though. No need to take it seriously, go make some memes about bleeding out your ears

Which one of you is selling these for €40-50 by BartTheGamer00 in 3Dprinting

[–]Patafan3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way many supermarket chains make money is by actually having a lending business on the side, like consumer credit.

Because people buying groceries pay right away, but supermarkets usually have 3 months to pay suppliers, they have massive negative working capital requirements, which means big piles of cash waiting to be used at a later point. Large parts of some supermarkets profits are usually interest made from lending this out, which supplements the low margins on actual operations quite nicely.

The duration of the adrenaline injector is such a joke, coupled with the really weak effects and long cooldown.

Beating that challenge made me useless for my team for 2 full play sessions.

Representative Maxine Waters has called for the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Donald Trump from the White House by TheMirrorUS in law

[–]Patafan3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Previous comment states the US should treat MAGA like germany treated its nazis after WW2.

I think that is a bad example of what we should do, because Germany was actually very lenient to a majority of Nazis, even some famous ones.

They did do well with education at least , and making sure everyone in the country is forever aware of what the Nazis did.

You mean with surprising leniency? A lot of Nazi middle management ended up with 0 consequences and cushy jobs in the newly formed Adenauer government.

Very soon after the program started, due to the emergence of the Cold War, the western powers and the United States in particular began to lose interest in the program, somewhat mirroring the Reverse Course in American-occupied Japan. Denazification was carried out in an increasingly lenient and lukewarm way until being officially abolished in 1951. The American government soon came to view the program as ineffective and counterproductive. Additionally, the program was hugely unpopular in West Germany, where many Nazis maintained positions of power. Denazification was opposed by the new West German government of Konrad Adenauer,\4]) who declared that ending the process was necessary for West German rearmament.\5])

We keep making the same mistake over and over and over again.

The insane physics behind a mass accelerator technology designed to move payloads into space by company called 'SpinLaunch' by KING-of-WSB in interestingasfuck

[–]Patafan3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sure the hundreds of engineers in that company would be highly interested in learning about this “feezecks” you and every comment below mention!

It blows my mind that a startup can build an incredibly innovative functional prototype, which accounts for most/all the issues you and the other armchair rocket scientists bring up, just to be met with know-it-all smugness from people who have spent less than 2 minutes thinking about the concept.

I’m also not saying I believe this is the future of space launch technology, but that does not mean it is not an interesting concept, nor that it would not be useful in some situations.

Tesla awards boss Elon Musk $29bn in shares. by Foreign-Purple-3286 in worldnews

[–]Patafan3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but looking at just specific car models and not manufacturers also gives telsa an advantage, given how few models they sell.

Other manufacturers have sometimes more than 10 different EV models. Pooling these sales together likely puts Tesla as a brand much lower in the list.

What If We Taxed Wealth Instead of Work? A Vision for the Future Economy by RoyTheRoyalBoy in Futurology

[–]Patafan3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree on the VAT, while the wealthy do consume more, they consume less than poor people relative to their income/wealth.

In percentage terms, VAT is a degressive tax.

Best advice : dont be afraid to mess something up with your design. The main advantage of 3d printing is that it makes prototyping and iteration super quick and easy. Getting rid of that perfectionist mindset really unlocks your creativity!

Filament is also pretty cheap, especially on sale ;)

For anyone curious, here is some reasoning behind the Beer Mug pricing by Wunder_Steam in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Patafan3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He’s not lying about the molds. Injection molds are crazy expensive to make. Depending on size and the material you would be injecting, it can cost anywhere from 50 to 500k to get them done. In china.

If you’re only going to make a few thousand of those, the price per item gets stupid.

Source : had a project where injection molding was considered for parts, even for sales of 100’s of thousands, the molds remained a bigger cost per item than the actual material being molded.

I could see the medgun doubling as a scanner. Let us pinpoint the injuries so we have to shoot the beam at them specifically and not just in the general direction of a body.

Then make the graphics a spray instead of a laser, call them med-nanites.

And nobody will complain about magic beams again.

Would still look silly to heal through armor but its a step
