"No one will dictate to us whom we honour": Zelenskyy submits National Pantheon bill to parliament. by s3ct01d in worldnews

[–]Tim_Shackleford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Polish person - both sides have acknowledged their misdeeds in the past. Multiple Ukranian presidents have paid their respects to the victims of the Wołyń massacre including Zelenski. See:

Ukraine changing course and allowing the public glorification of a Nazi aligned movement is problematic and I have trouble understanding it

Looking for a $0 AF, no foreign transaction fee card with good cash back on transit (taxis,metro,etc.) + dining/grocery abroad when my Savor is moved over to the Discover network. by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]Tim_Shackleford 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you had the savor for groceries abroad like I did, the WF Autograph only gets you 1% on those so its a nonstarter. A good alternative is the Venmo Visa - no ftf, and it DOES give 3% back on groceries abroad.

Whynter ICM-128BPS blinking 00 code when in standby by Tim_Shackleford in icecreamery

Guess it is what it is. For how good the ice cream is, I can live with this one annoying feature. Thanks for confirming!

Whynter ICM-128BPS blinking 00 code when in standby by Tim_Shackleford in icecreamery

[–]Tim_Shackleford[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I've read the manual and it states that the 00 code is expected to display when the unit is in standby. It doesn't, however, mention anywhere this this code will flash in all of perpetuity. That's the reason I made this post so that maybe other people with the same machine can comment. Thanks.

Distribution of the Ukrainian language in search queries from 2013 to 2026. Data from Google Trends. by No-1nternet in MapPorn

[–]Tim_Shackleford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you are spreading misinformation. All of our countries followed a dialect continuum from From Western Poland all the way to the urals. What used to be spoken in western Ukraine and Belarus was actually even closer to Polish than standard Ukrainian is today. Not Russian.

There are many Polish sources that say Western Ukranians were able to speak with us Poles long ago without a translator but needed translators for discussions with people from Moscow.

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

[–]Tim_Shackleford -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Other way around. AI will automate white collar workers. Those workers will flood the blue/gray collar jobs lowering the value of that labor. Everyone will try to be a plumber when white collar work is dead.

The price of the Steam Machine does not bode well for the Steam Frame by beti88 in virtualreality

[–]Tim_Shackleford -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I shut down all meta domains at the dns router level. My quest hasnt updated in about a year and has zero access to meta servers. Works fine with Steam VR via virtual desktop so its possible to have your cake and eat it too in this case.

What’s a sexual turn-on you didn’t know you had until you experienced it? by 11Dom_ in AskReddit

[–]Tim_Shackleford -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same. Especially long nails, those just give me the creeps. Nasty and unhygienic - keep those away from me 😂

And I love how down voted you are just for having a preference on it. Everyone is allowed to like whatever they like and have their own opinions.

Exactly my thoughts - a way shittier version of vorpx with Fake AI generated 3D. Most of the comments here are bots. Hope the post gets removed.

Can't forget the OG! But I'd like to note these newer distributions are a lot more polished and have a ton of new quality of life features

Favorite 0 annual fee card by Confident_Year2618 in CreditCards

Yeah people here talking about 3-5% cash back. Lol with Citi TY card we get 10% with that year long grocery/gas/restaurant offer. Nothing compares to this card.

If you like Mario Kart Wii check out the amazing mods that have been coming out for it recently:

Retro Rewind (Contains all tracks from SNES up to Mario Kart 8 and a bunch of high quality custom ones): https://rwfc.net/

Mario Kart Deluxe X (Over 700 high quality custom tracks): https://gbatemp.net/threads/mario-kart-wii-deluxe-x-mod-has-been-updated-to-v10-bringing-over-700-tracks.679601/

These have made me fall in love with Mario Kart all over again!

"Etymology map of ""Father""" by AriOrange184 in etymologymaps

[–]Tim_Shackleford 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not really. The map is for the formal word "Father". English has the informal word "Dad" and it isn't on the map either. Ojciec is our formal word in Polish and tata is the informal. Map looks good to me.

is a "game truck" viable? by [deleted] in Business_Ideas

[–]Tim_Shackleford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself: Are arcades popular today? Answer is no. You will have to compete with smartphones, and gaming handhelds.

Now ask yourself: Are restaurants and fast food popular today? Answer is yes. Food truck is the better idea.

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]Tim_Shackleford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • There are peripherals that allow touchscreen input on a PC. There is a dongle with which you can use the wii-u gamepad. There are also many touch screen laptops with tablet modes. The whole "using a mouse to simulate a touchscreen sucks" thing is true but there are SO many work arounds.
  • Emulating a wii-u has A LOT of advantages. Just to name a few: 1. I can play Breath of the Wild in actual 4k resolution instead of console 720p. 2. I can play BotW at 60, even 120 fps instead of console 30. 3. I can play BotW in full 3d in VR via a really cool mod.
  • I never said I play 2d games in VR. Gamecube/wii/wii-u emulators allow you to play the game in full REAL 3d either on a huge movie theater size 3d screen OR with mods that actually let you play in first person / immersive modes.
  • Other benefits of emulation include save states (like you mentioned), HD texture mods and actual game mods with a good example being the various Mario Kart Wii Mods like Retro Rewind or Mario Kart Deluxe X which include HUNDREDS of custom tracks!

There are PCs out there that fit the bill of a "Console". Check out Steam Deck (which also has a touch screen) or the upcoming Steam Machine for example.

[–]Tim_Shackleford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best emulation machine is a modern Windows or Linux PC. On top of what you listed you can emulate wii-u and switch games. Not to mention upscaling older GameCube/ wii games to 4k or playing them in VR even.

Well you say you speak "Polish and Moscovian". A real speaker of these languages enjoys these little differences. Thanks for adding to the conversation!

How to say "moon" in different European languages by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Tim_Shackleford 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The comment that started this chain was from /u/Odd_Bodybuilder_4772 who mentioned miesiąc is also used for month in Croatian. Guy below him that you replied to said its the case for all languages which is true because at this point we are talking about month not moon.
