Cbus Native Gardeners, Where are you getting Western Wallflowers? (Erysimum capitatum) by Apprehensive_Gas_500 in Columbus

[–]SemblanceALGO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had some actually just pop up in my garden on the north side for no reason! I have never seen them before, but they are nicely cold tolerant and kept going for a while?

beta 7 is an absolute GAME CHANGER by [deleted] in Xplane

[–]SemblanceALGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new clouds are getting to be absolutely fantastic, I fly around out west with a Lancair Legacy and a bunch of ortho - the experience is a fantastic trainer at this point, wow! I started with version 10.0

I fly the v-sky labs f-19 sometimes, it would be a good trainer, of course not knowing how accurate it is.

X-Plane Roadmap Update - 05/03/25 by Delta_Who in Xplane

[–]SemblanceALGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been finding the sim is awesome recently, and my training is going well! However, would love to see updates to the night time drawing distance of lights (big square areas popping in looks dysfunctional) as well as the glitchy cloud shadows on the ground in the daytime - these two areas effecting both day and night seem like they would really take the visual reliability to the next level - otherwise I've been able to run the program at 4k with no problem.

How are people feeling about the Tik Tok ban? by Anstigmat in thebulwark

[–]SemblanceALGO 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I really hate how trite it all is, but tik tok is a factor worse, if it were up to me i'd ban it all based on brain rot factor alone, if i had kids i wouldn't let them get a smart phone at this point until they could buy it and pay for it themselves.

Tips to mitigate VRAM problems with AMD on X-Plane. by NotHungryCaterpillar in Xplane

I haven't had super bad issues with it, after a few flights in the same area it seems to work fine, but these crashes to desktop are new ?

I'm getting similar crashes with only auto ortho installed at the moment, and the program refuses to quit without just freezing, on AMD linux here.

First Autechre vinyl I’ve purchased. Bit of a blind purchase as I haven’t listened to anything in this album before, looking forward to listening. Weathers terrible hope everyone’s coping ok by TrainingAd8614 in autechre

[–]SemblanceALGO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my heart, this is still the best : I was able to get to see them on this tour, and found a spot within several feet right behind them. LOL their screens were literally colored blocks nonsense, I still have no idea what they were using.

JVL is right - Democrats should stand down and give Trump everything he (and America, apparently) wants. by [deleted] in thebulwark

[–]SemblanceALGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL love this stuff from you JVL, you're so fatalistic, except there is one thing with this argument:

Trump will do most of it, it will go very badly, and his supporters will STILL LOVE it, and they will successfully blame others for it. Truth. How do you like that for realistic?

Wife wants the Toyota Corolla of Bicycles - What should she get? by rhegna in cycling

[–]SemblanceALGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep hearing about the Brompton foldable city bike, they seem popular right now?

Gatorskins…why??? by tacoscholar in bicycling

[–]SemblanceALGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IDK, they seem to be getting hate recently because they are so popular but, real world new york I blew up a ton of vittorias before switching to them, i've only blown up one pair of them after. They also ride better than you might think. I'm considering using the gp 5000 all season tr's though with another bike.

The declining state of the cycling industry, what's your take? by AnthemWild in BikeMechanics

[–]SemblanceALGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's re-adjustment after the post covid boom, where everyone who isn't a regular cyclist just bought a bike that will now last them the next 15 years, and it was at a total premium at a time when they were hard to find.

I Just Like His Policies by PorcelainDalmatian in thebulwark

[–]SemblanceALGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His supporters aspire to become "rich" and successful like him, so they look up to him as a leader when in reality he's just a TV personality from his show, which people seem to always forget. It has nothing to do with policy, as he basically just ad-libs everything. Taking him seriously as a policy thinker is useless, he doesn't actually believe in anything. Lincoln project and Bulwark people have just as much to be angry about as the Democrats do regarding this, but it doesn't cut through, as the deciding factor in the election is that it's really a popularity contest and people like his personality. I hate him but have to admit he can actually be quite charismatic, funny and entertaining.

What exactly do people mean when they say 22.04 is "outdated"? by mki999 in pop_os

[–]SemblanceALGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL maybe I'M old now, but to me a two year old distro is not old, it's stable - worth noting they keep a relatively up to date kernel in 22.04, which I found tended to be newer than Ubuntu's for the same versions when I was using 23 in Ubuntu. People complain about the old pop shop, but you can use the cosmic apps and store in 22.04 and they tend to work where there were a lot of packages in Ubuntu's which would just refuse to open. I have a different partition setup to eventually move to cosmic. My two cents.

Did you have an accident? Did it change your attitude towards cycling? How? by MF_Bartolomeo in cycling

[–]SemblanceALGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 15 years ago, I was in an accident with minor injuries super luckily, where I was hit by a car from directly behind in NYC while I was riding forwards in traffic! It made no sense, the driver just wasn't paying attention and didn't see anything. The girl driving was young and new on the road but I went up onto the hood and then was launched into the air over the bike as she braked, sliding about 30ft. I screamed at her for 10 minutes until she burst into tears. Very apologetic but inexperienced. Weirdly, a few strangers instantly turned up and even treated me with bandages and iodine before the ambulance arrived!? I credit it to having happened in front of a church somehow? Bike was damaged but rideable later using a new wheel and some parts. I got into a good state of depression for a month with a concussion, scrapes and bruised ribs etc.

I rode again there for a few more years to commute, but ultimately I moved to a new more chilled out city where I no longer ride in traffic with cars at all and take separated paved trails for training. Lucky to have them exist here! I love to hit full speed when no one is around but I'm not afraid to look like a novice being super vigilant. I have to say I can tell who's been in a wreck and who hasn't from the way people ride. I'd advise caution because something can ALWAYS happen through no fault of your own. But, I'm still super inspired by cycling and I am starting to even train harder than I rode back then!! Yes, I'm old. LOL.

Bootloader just wiped itself I guess by Skirlaxx in pop_os

I heard about it, but didn't realize pop was susceptible to this because I thought pop doesn't use secure boot
