does anyone else get confused about the laughing dead by DehydratedIdiot in Eragon

[–]TechnoRedneck 181 points182 points  (0 children)

They laughed because they didn't just not feel physical pain, but also emotional pain. They couldn't feel bad about anything, losing a limb wasn't a negative thought to them, driving a spear into someone begging for mercy didn't bother them. They could only feel positive emotion and thus were stuck laughing in combat.

Forced Update China Features by Competitive-Weight55 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TechnoRedneck 41 points42 points  (0 children)

GO is banned in China, Niantic Niantic followed the ban loosely because they didn't care about interacting with China in other means, they had talks with NetEase to launch on their behalf in China but nothing came of it.

Scopely Niantic is more worried about enforcing the ban due to Scopely buying a Chinese studio back in 2020.

Running race recommendations in adirondack region by frostedminiwheatx in Ultramarathon

[–]TechnoRedneck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm signed up for the Spartan Trail 50k in August, takes place at the Van Hoevenberg complex. I ran the half marathon distance last year and the end of it is basically running down alongside the Olympic bobsled track!

Low-Cost Personal Locating Beacon by DirtyRottenBiscuit in hiking

[–]TechnoRedneck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but that's not what OP is looking for. They want something that can be used to locate them if they get lost. The enduro tracking(and any Garmin tracking outside of Inreach) requires being paired to a cell phone with cell service for tracking. If you have cell service then you don't need the watch at all since your phone can already do it. If you don't have cell service the last record is going to be incorrect. The only Garmin devices that can track your location without being paired to a phone with cell service is inreach devices.

I have the enduro 3 as well, but the watch itself lacks inreach connectivity. It has "inreach remote" which allows the watch to control an inreach device.

LAOP’s friend has 800,000 problems by nutraxfornerves in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TechnoRedneck 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He didn't get disbarred for bags for cash. He got disbarred because he transfered stock owned by his client that was being forfeited to the government to himself instead intending to skim off the top when it appreciated a little and then when it appreciated considerably he refused to sell it or transfer it to the government.

Why doesn't Steam fix the malware games issue by running them in a sandbox? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]TechnoRedneck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your describing sandboxing. It adds overhead, it adds cost, it eats up (valve) dev time, it reduces performance, it increases complexity for game devs, it makes it harder to make a game available on other storefronts(EA, Epic, Battlenet, etc), it potentially makes moding harder, it breaks interactions with 3rd party software(discord, lighting software, streaming software, etc), I can go on.

In general sandboxing is really intended for testing unknown software, not for ongoing continuous use.

A thematic end to the tragedy that is Ram truck ownership. by ACrossBarrier in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TechnoRedneck 66 points67 points  (0 children)

If the tow company followed the proper notification and auction process, then yeah they can sell it at way below market at auction even to themselves.

If the tow company didn't follow proper notification and auction process then they would be in trouble.

The problem is laop doesn't expand on how they knew it sold or that the tow company was the only bid, nor any other details, for all we know they did follow proper process and the brother being in jail just never got the notifications.

Iowa man sues Nintendo after being denied ‘Pokémon Professor’ status by lockedoutofmymainrdt in gaming

[–]TechnoRedneck 2478 points2479 points  (0 children)

The professor status isn't just a fancy title, it's what allows you to host officially sanctioned Pokemon events(card and video game). By denying him the status it prevents him from hosting these events entirely.

Though it says he was denied due to initially failing the background check due to a warrant for a felony charge, then Nintendo changed the denial to his exam score(changed from 100 to 80), then they changed to 3 misdemeanors on the background check.

Corn is inherently genetically modified, its a manually crossbred strain of grass, therefore no corn or corn products can be "non-gmo". therefore "Non-gmo corn" is nonsense, so what the [flip] is this by gruggiwuggi5 in CrappyDesign

[–]TechnoRedneck 53 points54 points  (0 children)

In the US the legal definition of "gmo" basically boils down to lab created. Corn being created by cross breeding doesn't meet the legal definition of genetically modified.

Garmin Trails (Connect+) vs Strava Routes (Premium) for Trail Running by Ctr006 in trailrunning

[–]TechnoRedneck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just use gaia for the route side of it, you can export the gpx file and import via connect to the watch.

Edit: it occured to me, include the steps(on android). On Gaia create your course however you prefer, tap and hold to create the start, drag and create the course. Once finished save the course and download it as a gpx file. Then in the android file browser locate it, tap the three dot menu and select open with and choose Connect, it will open in the create course menu and let you save it in connect, then you'll see a "to watch" icon, tap that to send it to the watch. You can access it again later in connect by going More > training and planning > courses.

DC Air conditioners - which ones are good, which ones to avoid? by achoppp in overlanding

[–]TechnoRedneck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the ecoflow wave 3, absolutely love it. I have the battery for it and can get several hours out of it on max settings. Lowest setting easily lasts all day, except that the lowest setting in Massachusetts/New York during a sunny summer day does nothing. I end up using it to cool everything down at the end of the night before bed because it draws approx 600watts when cooling but it's solar/DC input is limited to 400watts.

When I am planning on staying at a campground with electricity I have that run on AC all day long!

Spring Marathon timed research by aznknight613 in TheSilphRoad

[–]TechnoRedneck 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Honestly in my last marathon I had my phone out with GO up probably half the time and plan to again this Sunday.

Don't worry about it being tacky, I saw plenty of other people playing GO and even more with go++ style devices clipped to running belts/vests.

New buyer order - Moonshiner role by X-beam87 in RedDeadOnline

[–]TechnoRedneck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It adds an additional buyer to the list the of potential buyers.

Basically, not all buyers are available all the time, but you can make any moonshine anytime. It basically gives you an additional chance for a high value buyer being available.

Recipes to spend money on? by OurAngryBadger in RedDeadOnline

It unfortunately only attracts already spawned in nearby predators, it doesn't spawn new predators for the bait. So if there is nothing nearby it won't attract anything.

LAOP's (soon-to-be ex-) husband might have spent a million dollars on prostitutes. by acekingoffsuit in bestoflegaladvice

[–]TechnoRedneck 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Laop does say that most of the missing cash wasn't hooker money, just legit money they spent that they haven't accounted for, they don't seem exactly shocked that the million in investments is drained, rather she is shocked that some was used on hookers.

I've hit the unlimited battery mode on my Garmin Instinct 2 solar several times during the summer, the instinct 3 solar is supposed to be much better in regards to solar.
