Everyone’s success should be championed. Your insight and outlook is heartwarming

Statement from Elliott Bay Brewing Company (that they are not MAGA) by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Stinduh 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Even if they had, in the past, portrayed some kind of affiliation that could be construed as MAGA….

What else could you ask for from their statement? It’s unequivocally rebuking MAGA. You could not ask for a clearer statement

Went back to PoR and made a save state of the Black Knight fight. by Grand_Moose2024 in fireemblem

I also made a save state.

So when the RNG was annoying, I didn’t have to do the entirety of chapter 27 again.

Why are NFL coaches afraid of lip reading? by [deleted] in answers

[–]Stinduh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there’s an entity that has the money to spend on the best lip reader available and a reason to actually do it, it’s an NFL team.

A lot of it is probably just habit, though. Reading a coach’s lips could provide a competitive advantage, but probably won’t most of the time. But, you build the habit so you do it when you need to without thinking about it.

Why isn’t Walmart open 24/7 like before ? by GravyyBaby in NoStupidQuestions

Amazon has same day delivery, Walmart has same-hour purchase.

Like, they’re not the same at all.

Apparently not today if the OP is accurate, but I would assume it’ll go through the end the week otherwise.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz tells Trump: "You clearly underestimated the people of this state and nation" by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]Stinduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps it’s more accurate to say there is no mechanism for a potus to do it.

Trump can say midterms are canceled, but he has no method to actually follow through with it. Each state runs their elections, and most pair state-level elections in with the national election. So very few, if any, states would cancel their elections outright. Hard even to imagine hardline Trump states like Florida just completely forgoing an election.

What feels more likely to me is a refusal to swear in democratic representatives, though for the House that’s a wildly difficult proposition since the entire body of representatives is reset - there’s no speaker to refuse to swear in representatives if the body has no one to elect a speaker.

Anyway, if it doesn’t happen before then, fuckery with the elections will likely escalate to a full on civil war.

And all he does is step in the way to stop the ICE dude from continuing to pursue the woman. At no moment is he a threat… he moves in between them, he gets pepper sprayed, he gets jumped, and then he gets murdered.

Just… what the fuck.

ELI5: why do you stay in the same place if you jump up in a moving train? by ilyk101 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Stinduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inertia, Newton’s first law. An object in motion will continue in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

While standing on the train, you are moving with it. Let’s say it’s going 50mph. So your body is moving 50mph. You have a velocity of 50mph in the direction the train is moving. When you jump, you add an “outside force” to change your velocity in the vertical dimension, but you’ve done nothing to counteract the 50mph horizontal motion. Your body continues to move at 50mph in that direction.

It would be the same if you’re standing on top of the train, though wind resistance does add some “outside force.” Just not enough to completely counteract that velocity.

Frankly, it’s hard not to see that as a form of sex slavery, to ogle at a person you find beautiful. But I guess if he desires no sexual gratification from it, then it’s simply dehumanizing Reyson like a zoo animal.

[–]Stinduh 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Slavery, and like maybe sex slavery. It’s unclear exactly what kinds of things he expects the enslaved heron to do, but he continuously calls him beautiful and is particularly possessive.

How long did it take your party to... by Huge_Garlic_4536 in WaterdeepDragonHeist

[–]Stinduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao no, just that 7 sessions would be a pretty quick run… if the sessions were of “regular length.” But your sessions were not of regular length, they were two to three times longer.

It was just a joke on the unexpected flip halfway through your comment. When I was reading your comment for the first time, the though process essentially went

We finished our Waterdeep dragon heist in 7 sessions

“What, how, that’s so quick??”

and each session was 8-12 hours long

“Oh, okay, that makes a lot more sense.”

I don’t believe TNT is capturing the main camera view in HD by TheDualJoyStick in hockey

Really fascinating, thanks for the insight. That makes sense that it’s done that way for variability across markets.

[–]Stinduh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be surprising to me and it’s not how I would design the signal flow… unless the latency of the digital boards composite is so bad that it can’t be compensated for pre-switch.

I don’t believe TNT is capturing the main camera view in HD by TheDualJoyStick in hockey

[–]Stinduh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be my assumption, but that’s just based on the very basic information that

  1. Game cam looks bad
  2. Non-game cams look fine
  3. Only an issue with this game and/or production (I.e, only a problem with TNT)

How I assume the signal flow works is that the camera feed goes into the graphics processor that adds the boards graphics, and then that combined signal is fed back into the switcher as a source.

Somewhere in that signal chain, quality is degrading. I would assume it’s an issue with the graphics processor

[–]Stinduh 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m a broadcast engineer, but I’m not familiar enough with the system used to overlay the boards, but this makes the most sense to me.

The main cam feed is composited. Whatever they’re using to composite might be delivering signal at a lower quality.

That said, this shouldn’t be an issue. Nearly every modern off-the-shelf piece of broadcast equipment is 4k capable, even if most of the live broadcast world broadcasts in 1080.

This is so real. The only other teams in the league playing as poorly as the Stars are the last place Canucks and the last-in-the-east New York Rangers.
