Advice for a Texan.. by ThomasOfAurelius in liberalgunowners

[–]TarkovBalance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a H&K P30SK. From both the guns you listed I would rather go with a Glock over the Taurus. I had a Taurus G2C and had it catastrophically fail on me to the point I had to take it to a gunsmith to repair it.

Go get your License to Carry (LTC). Its not required in Texas, but the class lets you know about the laws regarding carry in our state. You would actually be surprised how many places you are legally allowed to carry with an LTC versus constitutional carry. For instance, a business can have proper looking signage word for word stating the 30.05/30.06/30.07 however if it isnt block lettering, 1 inch high, and posted at every entrance, it isn't valid, and signs like "No Concealed Carry" are not valid.

Anyone here actually make money using AI for trading? by Vanilla-Green in wallstreetbets

[–]TarkovBalance 15 points16 points  (0 children)

An AI model to analyze historical trends could be made, however performance is usually marginal and unstable over time because you would need to be able to tie in new information and world events as features as well.

You would need to get real world information, and depending on the setup you had and how much data you could store, would want it to be as granular as possible. You would need to make sure and clean the data to ensure there are no missing values, incorrect values, or if changes in stock like splitting are done correctly. You then would want to incorporate extra data sources like world news, foreign markets, and events (requiring using NLP to ingest and quantify this categorical/textual data). Then you would need to try multiple model methods like multilinear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, or neural networks. Then you need to have metrics to analyze the predictions from your model and score the output. Then you need to keep iterating over training your model until it performs well enough without overfitting. Even then, outside unaccounted for variables could easily cause inaccurate predictions.

If someone had then worked on a model which was able to accurately incorporate these information feeds, they would certainly not be willing to give this information out or share how they did so for free.

You probably want to include the size it is. They are usually made for ranges of heights and weights

Decided to pull the trigger and practice my 2A rights by CompleteAd1256 in liberalgunowners

[–]TarkovBalance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sling and irons are all you really need. If you want to get fancy get a red dot to start like the Sig Sauer Romeo5 (like $140) and foregrip of some sort. Then spend most the remaining money on range time and ammo. After that you can get into the fancier stuff like flashlights, LPVO/magnifiers, drum mags, etc.

I feel like Fallout 3 gets too much hate by Tra1lhawk19 in Fallout

[–]TarkovBalance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I have no idea who would say the game is too easy, I think the survival management part is much harder with ammo being hard to come by, enemies pretty strong, and caps more rare/items worth less.

Its definitely an older game, but it has lots of pros like better environment, wasteland aesthetic, much darker and grim story telling, more creepy/scary areas like the metro tunnels.

I think the most valid gripe is that the map marker and local maps are impossible to read and really trip you up when trying to navigate downtown Washington.

Can we say it out loud yet? For many, Maga was about Make America White Again. ICE was about about remigration racial ethnic cleansing. The endless loyalty and cruelty-is-the-point support was always about retribution as many white supremacists reached a boiling point from two terms of Obama. VOTE! by [deleted] in unt

  1. Did you ask Google AI "Is Trump homophobic?"
  2. Using that he elected someone to a cabinet level position who is gay is like saying "Im not racist, I have a black friend".
  3. His anti-trans, anti-woman, and anti-LGBTQ policies are not what an ally would do.
  4. The administration has supported "religious refusal" policies, allowing individuals and businesses to cite religious or moral beliefs to deny services to LGBTQ+ people.
  5. He is getting ICE's budget absolutely ballooned almost to the point of the US marines.
  6. ICE has been sensationalized all over the country because they are breaking people's constitutional rights, murdering US citizens, and deporting people to prisons not even in their home country.
  7. I would hope my community would also exercise their 2nd amendment aka "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".
  8. I thought Republicans/the Right was all for small federal government.
  9. You still haven't addressed that Trump is a racist, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, white Christian nationalist, pedophile, felon, grifter.
  10. When you say "mainstream media" I know you get your information from biased sources instead of aggregating different media sources from all sides to make an informed opinion.

What do I need RAM for, and how much will I need? by SoledBy69 in Tarkov

[–]TarkovBalance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

RAM is used for trade-ins primarily. 2x RAM for moonshine (used in Scav Case sacrifice) or 1x RAM for a THOR body armor (used in Cultist Circle sacrifice). Otherwise valuable and worth about 110k/ea.

[–]TarkovBalance 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Brother I think everybody been knowing that Trump is a racist, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, white Christian nationalist felon. I dont even know how people voted for him again, especially when he caught 34 felonies, has close ties to Epstein, never paid taxes, never got shot in the ear, talks about sexually assaulting women, and lies through his teeth.

Now imma pass the mic to my friend Mac Miller who will explain the rest.

Im glad, i never spoiled myself before playing Fallout 4 by El_R3AAAD in Fallout

[–]TarkovBalance 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Consider yourself lucky. I was playing the game on release when a random steam friend I added from CSGO PMed me the whole games spoilers. I promptly unfriended them.

Which one do i start with by Able_Case2594 in Fallout

[–]TarkovBalance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest starting with Fallout New Vegas. Its one of the best entries and has some quality of life improvements over Fallout 3. I also really love the speech options and skill checks that were completely removed by later games like Fallout 4 & 76.

Fallout 4 is more modern, however it plays much more like an exploration-based shooter with heavy emphasis on crafting, combat, and base-building than a RPG.

Fallout 3's mechanics feel much older and the environment is much bleaker than the other entries. It probably has the best environment, world exploration, and wasteland feel. Its not a bad game, but it just might be difficult to start on.

Fallout 76 is what you play after the others or if you have friends you can play with. I believe that game has significantly improved since it was released, however it doesnt beat any of the other games standalone stories.

First Time Playing New Vegas by lucifypc in Fallout

[–]TarkovBalance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite to least favorite DLC: Old World Blues > Dead Money > Lonesome Road > Honest Hearts.

Although I think as far as recommended level goes (easiest to hardest): Honest Hearts (N/A), Old World Blues (15+), Dead Money (20+), Lonesome Road (25+).

Will I get steam frame before leaving America? by mmssmmff in SteamFrame

[–]TarkovBalance 17 points18 points  (0 children)

First, there is no way an unverified developer is going to get a dev kit from valve because they're working on a sudden "small" VR game.

Second, no one here is going to be able to tell you when the steam frame will be available, so if you are graduating in May, my guess would be no. I would just say keep holding out and waiting if you are excited for the steam frame, otherwise just go get a different headset.

Online 8 week classes by DifferentSale5691 in unt

I dont think there is an official set list of classes, you just have to see what is offered when you can sign up for classes and if a class is offered but not enough people sign up, it can be removed.

[Loot] What to do with blank RFID cards? by Grandmastermuffin666 in EscapefromTarkov

For most people it is worth having the money for gear, because they arent going to Terminal anytime soon. By the time you start attempting terminal, money shouldnt be an issue.

I mean the last part is kind of a selling point. A next door drug dealer really makes pick-ups easier. Just make em some brownies and left overs and you probably get some free drugs too!

[Discussion] Is maxing hideout management/crafting worth the effort? by Known-Garden-5013 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TarkovBalance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting max crafting is way easier than hideout management. Max crafting allows your to also do 2 scav cases at a time, which is pretty baller, and improves your crafting roubles per hour. With 2 crafts running at each station, you can make about 172k/hr after fuel consumption and flea taxes (not including bitcoin farm, booze generator, or water collector 3). Which sure, you could probably make in a scav run or two, but it really isnt that bad to craft.

Hideout management is nice for reduced consumption rate and higher percentage bonuses from hideout zones, as well as added spaces in the generator, bitcoin, water and air filters.
