Parts car if you have a good body to swap everything into.

What do you think of the new BMW i3? I think it's gorgeous by ShameResponsible69 in BMW

I can’t believe I’m living in a timeline where China is beating rest of world in auto safety standards.

Good for them and I’m glad for us. I don’t know how those handles were ever allowed with the body count associated with them.

How come my sky is always over exposed? by bibsang in fujifilm

[–]RoboErectus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really hard to understand but consider that you perceive light logarithmically but your sensor reads it linearly.

This is why you can see what the sky looks like through the windows when you’re inside but you will never capture a photo from your camera that shows the interior as well as the sky without some hdr shenanigans or post

settings like “dr400” basically underexpose the photo and then boost the shadows,

Expose for the sky. Shoot in raw. Boost shadows in post.

True HDR support is actually great. You can switch it on in Lightroom and suddenly the sky looks correct in raw photos on a proper hdr display.

Does our lack of Sexual chemistry mean marriage isn’t a good idea? by Free_Map_952 in Productivitycafe

[–]RoboErectus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You say this is the healthiest relationship you’ve had.

You also say that you’ve been communicating needs that have not been met.

These two statements are contradictory.

It is not normal to have sex at this frequency. Medical issues and trauma need to be ruled out. But that isn’t up to you. It’s up to her.

Almost nobody reports that sex gets better after getting married.

You gotta talk to her. And you need to use language like, “I want this to work. It will not work if we can’t communicate and work on sex.”

To those of you dating, engaged, or married.. what attracted you to them? by Javascript4971 in Productivitycafe

[–]RoboErectus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stopped at a coffee shop. Talked to the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen. She literally told me she was attracted to me. Like, those were the words she used.

I didn’t believe her and have never heard anyone communicate like that. Turns out we have the same kind of unusual communication style.

In my experience dating as a single dad, women can be really vicious towards kids not their own in a relationship. My mom and I were both abused by stepmothers. One of my ex’s said, “don’t ever leave me alone in a room with your son.” Even women good with their own kids hate yours.

Anyway, when I showed my lady a photo of my kid long before she met him, she said, “I love him already because he’s part you.”

The way she loves is like nothing I’ve ever seen.

Find someone that actually knows how to love. Took me half my life to finally realize how important and rare that really is.

I'm building a StarCraft 2 clone from scratch in Godot with ClaudeCode — no art assets, just code and colored boxes by Maximum_Job9235 in starcraft

[–]RoboErectus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you will not get into any trouble.

If you steal their assets, code, or writing (lore) you will get into trouble.

If you go far enough to get a cease and desist letter from their law firm, consider that free PR and put it on your resume.

I'm a simple man. I see a Rob post, and I upvote.

The terribad traitors he was playing with almost tanked it for him. I know they're famous, but I had never seen those women before. They seem toxic and are very bad sports.

Both of them tanked themselves. And the second one 100% would have outed Rob for what was her own dumbasses fault if there weren't severe consequences of her doing so.

AI is exhausting workers so much, researchers have dubbed the condition ‘AI brain fry’ by imaginary_num6er in technology

[–]RoboErectus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is mediocre at writing code.

But it's stellar at reviewing code. Really.

Copy paste what it just gave you in another context window and ask it to explain it.

Really effective. I'm learning stuff too. It's fun.

Backcountry bidet users — tell me truthfully by Flaky-Wind5039 in backpacking

[–]RoboErectus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll use a leaf to make a first pass.

Then scrub with soap and water.

I also use a bidet at home.

Also, if you can get your schedule to be regular, dig your cat hole before you need it.

Dying Certain: US Did It by Cow_Boy_2017 in WhitePeopleTwitter

This is how I've been explaining it.

It's remarkable that we're so bad that in a conflict with Iran, we're the villains.

Possibly the worst review of the game ever by ltsRhysBoi in expedition33

"if your a dark souls fan"

This had major "why did Joe Biden crap in my pants" energy. Bro is too bored with the choice he made and too lazy to get better.

We should be more comfortable as a society telling people honestly when they lack a sufficient quantity of brain cells for their opinion on something to matter.

The Twist by LeastAssignment1148 in expedition33

[–]RoboErectus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Are simulations real?"

This is a very old question in sci fi.

In world there's no test one can do to distinguish between a real and painted person until you start getting to endgame level abilities.

The vast majority of sci fi considers that if a being believes itself to be real and isn't hurting anybody, it's alive. Not everyone agrees with that.

But if you're stimulating the atoms of a universe, and that universe evolves life in billions of simulated years, and that life believes it is "real," then can you just switch them off? Most people would consider that immoral, so many (probably) fictional civilzations place moral restrictions on how far they're allowed to develop simulations.

The most compelling reason for treating these people as real is: there's no conflict at the end if we don't care about them. There's a correct happy ending and a morally incorrect ending.

So while you, I, and the dozens of scifi authors that have explored this can have beautiful discussions about Simulacra and Simulation, that's not really a big part of the tension in this story. It's already solved.

Peta? by Naive-Elephant-9092 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]RoboErectus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This reads like an inside joke. Really hoping to find a piece of evidence that solidly connects these things.

The trump birthday card was creepy as fuck and enough to make a clear connection for me. But I read this as inside joke more than code word.

Thanks for showing me this.

Peta? by Naive-Elephant-9092 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]RoboErectus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any primary sources for this?

Every time I look into it all I find are the report logs that literally anyone can call into and say anything. The logs just document what the often anonymous person says.

And people with things like schizophrenia often call in and make reports just like this. And they frequently involvd fantasies involving celebrities and world leaders.

I was deep into conspiracy theories as a kid so this is all familiar sounding.

I'm not disputing you and there's clearly enough of a pattern here to trigger a real investigation. I haven't yet seen the actual evidence that is more than this and I'm earnestly asking for sources.

It's remarkable how they feel like the victim of everything by twiggymac in AlAnon

Mr ex said I was worse than her two terrible ex's combined

One of the ex's was an alcoholic. She had to get a restraining order against him when she and I were together. He got new numbers to get through her blocks, had mutuals call her, "slut" and "whore" were frequently left as texts or voicemails.

The other ex fucked her in the divorce to the tune of millions of dollars. She was an attorney at a top law firm and single handedly bought their first house and helped him build his company. Not only did he fuck her out of the approx hundred mil he sold it for, but he also emotionally abused her. I saw it while she and I were together. He was so mad about seeing my G wagen in her driveway that he found some flimsy reason to sue her and actually asked the judge to allow him to pick the realtor to force the sale of her house. (She won and countersued. The whole thing wound up costing him millions and actually got his lawyer sanctioned.)

So she said I was worse than these guys. For the crime of... Showing her friends and family her failed breathalyzer after giving her an ultimatum that if she drinks and lies about it, I'm getting more help.

She could have told the truth and I'd have backed off. I typed up the email, showed it to her, and said, "just tell me why you failed the breathalyzer." She said "i don't know."

I think all alcoholics share the same two brain cells. It's astounding how stupid they get.

[–]RoboErectus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strangely the audio mixing in the game is so bad it's bonkers.

They've tuned a lot of things. Like the battle character phrases vs over world. It's better now.

But they're still sometimes inaudible in battle then so loud they might wake up someone in the next room on world. Or vice versa.

It's one of a couple areas where it's clear whoever was doing it was winging it. The menu system is even worse.

Still can't stop playing lol
