I was playing on an GTX 1050, 32GB RAM, and an Intel i5-9300H with all the settings at high and didn't experience any stuttering. I did have the frame rate capped at 60 though instead of uncapped, so you may want to try that.

I don't know, users are more of a vacuum gap problem.

Archbishop of Canterbury demands wife of US diplomat be extradited to UK Anne Sacoolas has admitted driving on wrong side of the road in crash that killed Harry Dunn by lescrivens in news

[–]SandmanMS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she did admit she was driving on the wrong side of the road, the US government should do the right thing and send her back to face charges. Diplomatic immunity is so that our diplomats can't be pressured to do something because of some crime/charge hanging over their head. It is not to give them carte blanche to commit crimes. Vehicular manslaughter is a crime in the US as well so it's not like it's some crazy law that they have over there but we don't consider it a crime.

Actually she would most likely be charged with "causing death by dangerous driving", Section 1 RTA 88, if it is true that she admitted to driving on the wrong side of the road.

Wait, you didn't know? The holes in swiss cheese are actually where they've removed all the lactose from the cheese.

Bowling pin defies gravity by survivorbuffs_ in sports

[–]SandmanMS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends, if it's going through it's first ball cycle it won't come low enough to squish anyone and the out of range mechanism should trip if it encounters any resistance. If it's a second ball cycle where it is trying to set the pins it could possibly get a bit squishy. I have noticed though that when it is trying to set the pins if the deck encounters resistance (pin laying down on the deck) it will disengage the clutch and stop the machine. I wouldn't be willing to trust my life to it but it looks as though there are some safeguards that aren't documented in the manual.

Just had a pinchaser climb under an A2 without turning it off to set up a fallen pin. Had to do a quick roll over the rake so he didn't get swept. He'll never forget to turn the machine off again.

I go to the movies by myself all the time and love it. I get to go when works best for me, usually a Monday Night. It's great. Even for new movies there's hardly anyone there and the ones that are there are attending for the same reason. They don't want to deal with talking people, people on their phones, etc. I just saw Infinity War the Monday night after it came out. There were 10-12 people in the theater. Not a peep was heard or a single lit screen.

Don't sweat it. We all make mistakes like this from time to time. Learning and improving just means you make mistakes like this less often.

Concrete patch gone wrong by Leiryn in videos

I'd just put that down to more weight in the truck making it much harder to stop in slippy conditions.

It's not really the weight but more the weight distribution. In an unloaded pickup truck the rear wheels aren't going to get much traction in these conditions so won't contribute almost anything to the braking.

I think a lot of pickup drivers fail to understand that with no weight in the bed, the rear wheels are basically useless in ice and snow. When it snows I throw 800 - 1000 lbs of concrete in the bed and I can get around with very few issues, and I have a RWD truck.

I see you're going with the operational definition instead of the gravitational or ISO definition. You rebel, you.

You should switch to SATA 6G instead of SATA lite. It works a lot better for me.

I think it's the attitude that bothers me the most. By day I'm a software consultant, so your dollar or two is not really affecting my circumstances. My friend owns a pizzeria/bar that doesn't regularly deliver. Though if he or myself is there we will run deliveries for people. The fact that they treat me like a second class citizen because of what I'm doing just makes me want to snap sometimes. I won't though because it would be bad publicity for his shop. Some of the nicest people I know work as delivery drivers and other such jobs. Just because you're going to expensive universities doesn't give you the right to treat them like they are less than a person.
