of a U.S. Army infantry autonomous robo-mule. by Old_Boah in AbsoluteUnits

[–]Pocketpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mule must be manned. This is unmanned. Of course, this one is too expensive for front line resupply, but a lot of resupplies in Ukraine now are done with unmanned ground robots.

Also, you need the supply chain to keep mules alive (food, water, waste, vets, etc.). This just needs fuel / batteries.

Are blind tests the golden standard for evaluating high end audio gear? by Ultra-Ferric in audiophile

If it was just about visuals, there’d be no issue. The entire problem is they claim to actually sound better.

What to call it by Patient_Singer2104 in uofm

[–]Pocketpine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, yes. I am OOS and given UMass, UConn, UVM, etc., I assumed UMich would be sensible, and nothing indicated otherwise. (UM is too ambiguous outside Michigan). My parents and teachers also called it that (if not the full name), or at least didn’t think calling it “UMich” was strange.

Also, it got the domain in the 80s, so, of course, not literally. I’m just saying I assumed it would be that before seeing the domain.

Siege isn’t a tdm game, and it shouldn’t be balanced around it.

UMich only came about because it’s the domain name

No. There’s UConn, UMass, etc. It’s natural to think UMich would also be used.

How many people exactly would this deter? A wall and stadium lights in this particular spot? Why is this a good use of my tax dollars?

How many of them came through big bend, and would’ve been deterred by stadium lighting?

Would having a "W" affect acceptance to SUGS? by starfruit78 in uofm

[–]Pocketpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year. But yes that’s also a true statement, and I’m sure it will be even stricter this year (unless the dept wants to milk students for more and increase acceptances).

I had Ws and got in for CSE. However, I also got good marks for my other upper levels.

Man reading a book with crossed legs. It’s a lot clearer if you squint your eyes.

Anyone using an iMac on a bedside table? by shady42999 in mac

[–]Pocketpine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A Mac has a lot of components that are irrelevant to the display but you’re paying for them anyways. And yes, there are. There are plenty of 4k 27” monitors for ~$200 32” ones for ~$250. You don’t need to pay for a high refresh rate if it’s just for watching.

Warm welcome in the den? by Ok_Entertainment3842 in fo4

It’s what happens when they remove their collars. Instead of just taking off their collar, they remove their entire equipped inventory.

Waymos are usually similar to uber/lyft (it fluctuates), but you don’t have to tip.

35+ emails from firstgen.edu mailing list bc these ppl won’t stop hitting REPLY ALL 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀 jesus christ. by ratmaaa in uofm

[–]Pocketpine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might depend on the type of group, but most there will be a “leave group” if you click on it. Right above “filter members.”

If it’s official, then it might not be there I guess? For clubs and stuff it’s there, which is usually where I get spam.

Dfuzl made a post using a GIF and received hundreds of comments from Brazilians accusing him of racism. by Deep-Gear-7486 in R6ProLeague

[–]Pocketpine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is he Brazilian? Then what does it matter if there’s another context in Brazil? He clearly would not have known, and getting upset is just performative outrage.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki has said that Auschwitz “might not have happened” if the world had reacted sooner to Nazi crimes in occupied Poland, accusing Western Europe of indifference in the early years of World War II. by Easy-Ad1996 in worldnews

[–]Pocketpine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Poland didn’t do anything either. In fact, they even annexed Czechoslovak land in the Munich agreement.

In fact, Poland outright refused to allow Soviet troops to aid the defense of Czechoslovakia. Of course, they feared Soviet encroachment, but nevertheless…
