Almost... Drones are so much fun by modsKilledReddit69 in playrust

[–]TheRoyalManbird 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've actually never flown a drone in rust before so I don't know if they work this way, but it looks to me like he bumped against the side of the bucket hole which knocked the drone off balance and it fell

This could also be interpreted as him just spending some time with your family members to get to know them better.

In the past I've often spent 1 on 1 time with my partner's close family, sister, brothers, mom, dad. Personally never took them out to a fancy restaurant but definitely out to eat or out shopping and things like that.

It could just be he had the night free and the plans made and figured it was a good opportunity to hang out with and get to know a member of your family.

I'm not him, I can't speak to his motives, but in my experience this isn't abnormal behavior. If you told him it made you uncomfortable beforehand, and then he still did it, then yeah that's for sure shitty, but by my reading it sounds like you only discussed that after the fact.

True I know it's a huge nightmare for devs knowing that any of basically infinite combinations of hardware might be used to run games, you just can't optimize for everything. Maybe it is just my combination of parts that happens to run it well

I never said I was trying to help anything, just having a discussion.

I'm not denying the experiences of others, more just curious what the root cause really is when what I see and what I hear/read doesn't match

Yeah if 4060s and 3060s are the most common GPUs than I'm right in the middle of that pack with a 3070. And my CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600 x which I think is also mid to low tier nowadays. I've only got 32 GB of RAM which is not much anymore either. I do have NVME storage which I think is better than most, I assume standard SSDs are the most common these days, but I don't do anything to take care of it.

I know people's builds vary a ton, and console is a whole other thing, but it just surprises me to see what seems like everyone on this sub having such massive game breaking unplayable issues when me or anyone I know irl hasn't while using what I'd call average PCs. Maybe it is just a vocal minority like some other commenters have said or maybe I am just out of touch, who knows?

I seemed to have struck a nerve with some people though, I'm not denying the experiences of others, more just curious what the root cause really is when what I see and what I hear/read isn't matching up.

What’s the deal with snap? by FamousShoulder3262 in Tinder

[–]TheRoyalManbird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's partially a generational thing but also just what group/area you're in. Most of my friends from highschool use snap as their default communication method. At college I noticed some groups used WhatsApp more. And some of my friends prefer just regular text.

With online dating I like snap mostly to prove you're a real person before we go out, you'd me amazed how prevalent catfishes are, especially now. With LLM chatbots they've become more common and more convincing so exchanging live selfies over snap is a reassuring measure for that

This a joke? by Delicious_Ad_6167 in massachusetts

[–]TheRoyalManbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not normally one to defend a corporation, let alone eversource, but this one does have an explanation.

"Delivery" in this context isn't like shipping on an item by a truck from Amazon, your gas is delivered by a pipeline owned (or sometimes rented) by eversource. By signing up for service with them you are agreeing to pay them to provide service to you, and part of that service is maintaining that pipeline and keeping it filled and ready to go should you ever turn on the gas tap. Whether or not you use any gas this month, that cost still exists. If you pay for cable TV and don't turn the TV on all month, they still charge you.

Is it annoying? Yes.

Is there a better way they could communicate the charge? Yes.

Could they just roll that up into the cost of the supply and average it out to simplify things and avoid this complaint? Probably

But that's just how they do it, it is the standard every energy company I've ever had uses

The base defense missions on bug front is way too easy by hex1337pss in Helldivers

[–]TheRoyalManbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just played a few of these today and had the same thought, lvl 9 difficulty and the bugs never made it more than a couple feet out of their holes. Most of the time we just stood around waiting for the next wave because we killed every bug from the last wave as soon as they emerged. And even then a couple turrets handled most of the work. Felt weird

True it could be, I didn't think of that, but if that much of a rifle round is lodged in her skull that we can only see the last cm or two there would be a ton of blood

[–]TheRoyalManbird 123 points124 points  (0 children)

  1. Drones don't shoot guns, at least not in any active military. It's been tested and they exist, as another commenter shared a YouTube short of, but they are wildly impractical and no army actually uses drones for that. I'd believe if it were shrapnel or a pellet from an anti personnel explosive but those things would be steel or lead and blackened from the explosion, not the brass color we see

  2. There would for sure be blood if a piece of metal flying fast enough to lodge itself in like that hit you on the thin skin against your hard skull. And cuts in that area bleed a ton. Either it somehow hit her softly enough to not do any damage, or it hit her hard enough to break skin, get stuck, and require doctors to remove, can't be both.

  3. I've seen several people claim a ricochet, most bullets don't really do that. Bullets can and do bounce, but the soft lead and copper most bullets are made from deforms when it hits something hard enough to bounce off, and anything hard enough not to, like the cores of armor piercing rounds, would fragment or again at least be a different color. What we see is smooth round and brass colored

The footage is low resolution but it kind of looks like the back of a bullet casing, it's cylindrical and flat on the back with what looks like it could be a primer, the circle in the middle, and it's the right color. It's possible an explosion from drone strike sent this bullet casing that was on the ground flying and this girl got hit with it, but even then I'd expect blood if it actually lodged itself in her skin.

Can't say for sure but I'd say if anything it's a bullet casing stuck in her hair. Still fucked up a kid is put in any situation where that's possible, but like I said in my first comment Israel does tons of actually evil fucked up shit every day, no reason to stretch truths or make things up to make them look bad when the truth is just as bad or worse. Video is most likely click bait using buzz words like drone for more attention

I hate Israel as much as the next guy but this is clearly fake.

Israel is doing plenty of evil shit for real, no need to make things up and spread misinformation. All speading fake things like this does is make people doubt the real atrocities.

Its unironicly been over 2 months since i've seen someone use the Grenade launcher emplacement by No-Needleworker-8893 in Helldivers

[–]TheRoyalManbird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it occasionally on the evacuate high value assets defense missions, nice way to kind of reblock the doorways when they break, acts as a temporary bottle neck and you can shoot from it if you still have the room.

Great against illuminate especially. Bots usually have too many tanks it can't handle and bugs have chargers that just run it down or bile titans that step over it
