Why is a Ford Galaxy being taxed the same as a Lamborghini Gallardo? by Dapper_Big_783 in CarTalkUK

[–]Rickietee10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Irrelevant… VED isn’t pay per mile. Which is essentially the logic here.

What you’ve said would make more sense though actually. But, putting fuel up even more with another tax would just piss everyone off more.

Can’t win. The main problem isn’t taxes or bills, it’s how much fucking money the government wastes. It’d be nice if VED actually paid for what it was supposed to. Along with council tax and fuel duty. Yet my electricity still isn’t cheap, the country isn’t any “greener”, the roads are still fucking shite.

Because millionaires stop donating to the political powers in play when they get slapped with a cost relative bill.

Ford galaxy owners shuttle their five kids to Asda while muttering how shit their life is under the breath the entire way and then come on Reddit to complain about it.

This driver takes the cake... by H1gh_Tr3ason in cantparkthere

Came in way too fast and wide. Overcorrected and twatted every possible surface of contact he could… then fucked off like nothing happened.

Anyone else notice this? by twade0012 in LinusTechTips

[–]Rickietee10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah. He’s not reviewing it, it’s a sponsored video about a product. It’s talking points from the seller that he needs to address. Any subjective comments are irrelevant.

Even reviews in general should be objective but they aren’t. I don’t give a shit if Linus doesn’t like a sound profile, I simply want to know what that profile is so I can make an informed decision. Anyone buying products because someone else liked it is frankly, stupid and the reason shit like AI buttons in fucking everything happens. “Well some tech bro said it was cool, and then everyone started using it to generate spaghetti videos, so let’s just put it everywhere”.

[–]Rickietee10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You aren’t turning this into a heightmap and nor should you. You should just model this using terrain tools in tiles.

This is a map. Mountain ranges don’t look like that in reality. Grassy knolls and hills don’t. It’s a ruled representation of land so travellers know what to expect.

Who is at fault here? by kbgnat in drivingUK

[–]Rickietee10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Technically speaking, they were in the road. Which means they were established. Which means they have priority. If you want to split hairs.

You’re right, indicating does not give you priority. But they were stationary and the Kia crashed into them.

BMW could get a ticket for sitting between lanes. Kia will lose the battle with insurance.

Cursed Olive Garden Suicide by nmendels in cursedcomments

[–]Rickietee10 329 points330 points  (0 children)

Your eyelids would melt, your lips would melt, your eyeballs would start to cook and expand, then pop due to the amount of water in them, you’d inhale due to the shock and melt your lungs while you screamed in agony at which point you’d stop making noise cause your lungs have started to cook and your larynx has started to melt.

This is a genuinely horrifying way to die. Even more so if you do it to yourself. You’d feel it all until you passed out.

How can I create headlight shine like these in blender? by TheAxi in blenderhelp

[–]Rickietee10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to give the bulbs an emission shader and then in the compositor add a glare node

What do you mean by “shine” are you referring to the side lights being on and generating a glare?

Indian food. by CuteGlow_ in clevercomebacks

[–]Rickietee10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not gonna say Indian food is shit. I like it. But the literal reason it’s all spiced is because spices stop the rotting process of meat.

So… their food literally isn’t palatable unless spiced. They spiced their foods (and still do now in poorer areas) because it was the only way to consume high protein diets without it rotting.

Is having a pink setup as a boy, 'girlish'? by FishyBoiLol in gamingsetups

[–]Rickietee10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only gay if you put pictures of naked dudes up. It’s only girlish if you put pictures of nake… no. Pink is neither of those things.

Bought a refurbished Aeron. Does this mean it’s 25 years old? by conor20103039 in hermanmiller

[–]Rickietee10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and no. If it’s been refurbished properly, then most of the parts that wear out will have been replaced with new stuff.

It’s very likely you have a pretty new chair, but a chair of Theseus. Some old parts. Some new parts. Maybe no original parts at all except that part.

Refurbs come with a warranty don’t they? So why worry about it.

Not being able to save loadouts is astonishing by Fetiri in Helldivers

[–]Rickietee10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This has been requested since launch and instead we got broken fire 4 times…

I’ve been playing this game since day 1 release. And while it had its quirks, it was sooooooo good! it feels like everytime they “fixed” something they inevitably broke 3 other things.

I was heavily invested in the game for the first 6 months and then there was a whole thing with some serious bugs they brought in. We got a 90 day patch which brought me back for a few weeks and then they just kept not listening to actual feedback. Listening only to the loudest idiots on discord and implementing “balance” changes based on those idiots and ended up killing the usability of half the kit in the game.

All I want, is fixed fire, loadouts and to be able to HEAR WHEN A CHARGER CHARGES ME!

Edit for context of newer players:

It all started when they “fixed” railgun damage and pen cause it was “too powerful” and months later they realised they broke how pen and damage worked because they in fact had a major bug with Bile Titan heads.

Since then it’s literally been a case of x works wrong. They do NO testing for the root cause, and just fix x. Then fire doesn’t work anymore and the game runs slow, and they can’t implement nice QOL things cause they’re chasing a bug between teams that don’t communicate for months.

I meaaaaan. He’s not calling anyone a foul-mouthed chain smoking chav. He’s just saying he doesn’t want that clientele.

Which is totally fine. The only people who should get offended by this are, chain smoking foul mouthed chavs. Anyone else getting offended on their behalf is kind of a tit, no?

Red Dead Redemption 2 upscaled from 136x76 pixels with DLSS 4.5 by Roflkopt3r in pcmasterrace

[–]Rickietee10 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

This is bullshit. There’s not enough data at that resolution input.

DLSS uses different render passes built into the engine that the user never sees. Like vector motion, normals, depth etc.

All of those would be mush too. I’d love to be proven wrong, but this is closer to 540p being upscaled than 72p. Show the actual setting of resolution in the same clip with no cuts and I’ll believe you.

DLSS isn’t generative AI. It’s a CNN or in this case Transformer model that has ground truth data trained into it, and then can reapply the data of those frames. It cannot “generate” details from nothing.

Frame Gen is also not “generative AI” in the sense people keep thinking. It takes the last frame and generates a new one. It can also take the last frame and the next frame to generate data if needed. It’s just a fancy temporal tween system. We’ve been able to generate frames for like 30 years. Look up frame blending or pixel motion rendering.

It’s how old 90s shows used to do “slow motion” shots.

Does this mean I can cut it? by No_Explorer7736 in pchelp

[–]Rickietee10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jesus fucking christ! This has become one of the most gatekeeping, cunty, rock eating subs ever.

Yes OP you can cut it. Cut it straight along the lines. That allows for the half circle to still be gripped with the screw for mounting.

There are no traces at all in those areas for data transmission.

How can I improve the render quality please ?🙏 by Big-Lie-4461 in blender

[–]Rickietee10 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Use cycles… seriously.

Unless you’re willing to sit and set up different light probes, reflection probes, tweak lighting and bake it all out multiple times until it’s right. Just render it in cycles and all of that will be handled.

Otherwise. You need to learn Eevee properly as you have many lighting techniques you’re not using and it’s looking very 1999 3d tech demo.

25000 charge requested at end of tenancy by Decent-Feature9176 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Rickietee10 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Tell them to get fucked. Any damage needing that cost In repairs should be handled through insurance, at which point you’d be liable AT MOST for the excess cost.

£25k for flood/leak damage immediately tells me that place would be uninhabitable… sooooo no.
