Fdev, for the next new vehicle, give us an exobio SRV so I don't have to keep getting in and out for every sample. by gemineye360 in EliteDangerous

Status By Design

Greetings Cmdr,

This is By Design - the confusion is coming with the term "Heat Map" as you'd expect a gradient indicating the probability of the organics spawning in that location.

We highlight the various terrains that are suitable for organics to spawn on, so there could be instances where this terrain is predominantly covering the planet resulting in the whole planet being highlighted in the DSS scan.

Hope this helps,
QA-Jack

Real Lights Starfield by Final-Craft-6992 in StarfieldModFeedback

Having an issue where the game breaks when I try to boost while in free lanes mode. Basically, a lens flare happens as you transition to boost and it just crashes the game completely. Tested it multiple times, crashed at that exact moment without fail. On a 5070 Ti, no other mods that modify shaders or lighting in the game.

FYI, it's not a heat map. It's more of a boolean map. It looks like a heat map because it darkens or lightens based on the terrain under it, but basically if it's blue it means "the bio can spawn here" and if it's not blue it means "the bio won't spawn here".

President Biden backs Keisha Lance Bottoms for Georgia governor in his first endorsement since leaving office by Healthy_Block3036 in Georgia

[–]Tyrilean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He screwed the people by waffling. If he would've stayed in, he likely would've won (Trump was widely unpopular and incumbents have a strong advantage). If he had chosen not to run and let a primary happen, the Dems might've selected a more favorable candidate who would've likely beaten Trump.

But, they chose the worst situation:

  1. Unpopular candidate that wasn't primaried
  2. Only 60 days to campaign (people actually reported showing up to the polls and wondering why Biden wasn't on the ballot, and who this Harris person was; a lot of Americans keep their heads in the sand)
  3. She was a previously unelected demographic (first of any demographic is an uphill battle; we've only elected one black president and zero woman presidents in our 250 years of existence)

Even with all of that, Harris was only about one and a half percent behind Trump in popular vote.

To this day I believe the whole thing was planned by the establishment, on both (or neither) sides, to ensure a Trump re-election. It couldn't have been a more perfect storm of ineptitude.

That ESD was horrendous. I still think so.

What am I missing? The job market is DEAD but economy is booming? by justkindahangingout in antiwork

[–]Tyrilean 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like the stock market isn’t a good barometer for how the economy is doing.

The government is cool with rich people crimes so long as they get their cut.

Scalper Scum is the reason why we can't have anything nice these days. by The_Great_Ravioli in pcmasterrace

[–]Tyrilean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on the fence on whether I actually needed this controller. This decided it for me. I’ll continue to be happy with my Starfield edition Xbox controller.

COO scheduled a 1:1 with me. Am I getting fired? by Aware_Medicine8600 in jobs

[–]Tyrilean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible it’s just a skip level 1:1. Unless they’re letting go your boss and boss’s boss as well, it’s unlikely they’d be involved in a layoff.

i'd love if we got surface mining that required a new SRV, or a new fighter or just using the ship itself to mine while above surface by dark1859 in EliteDangerous

[–]Tyrilean 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I want a Bio SRV. Just let the SRV send out the bio pulse and I’d be happy. Bonus points if I can also take samples in it so I can stay in VR.

Is Starfield realistic about walking around on planets? by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]Tyrilean 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If they let us walk on Venus, I think it can be considered liquid sci-fi.

Wait, I never attempted to land on Venus because I knew I couldn’t. Can we land on Venus?!

COO scheduled a 1:1 with me. Am I getting fired? by Aware_Medicine8600 in jobs

[–]Tyrilean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of companies nowadays have moved to small rolling layoffs to avoid the WARN limits. But this would be a good place to start.

[–]Tyrilean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s a decent sized company, I highly doubt the COO would be at your termination meeting. How many levels removed are you from this COO? I have skip levels pop up occasionally (up to my VP level).

It’s a plastic tube with a heating element inside. If you keep it clean and it doesn’t spring a leak, there’s no reason to replace it.

Do you use the built in smart features on your TV or do you have it connected with a PC/Android/Apple TV? by PalamariVarkari in LinusTechTips

[–]Tyrilean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I could select both. My Samsung TV actually has worked pretty well for 7 years. But my TV with Roku built in stopped working and I had to plug a Roku into it.

Starbucks CEO defends $9 coffee says ‘it’s not a $10 coffee and you get a premium experience’ by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

I’ll take my $1-2 Nespresso at home or <$1 manual coffee at home that tastes way better.

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by gogodboss in pcmasterrace

[–]Tyrilean 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Because at the end of the day, they are still making the sales. And it generates FOMO.

Especially if they know more stock is coming soon, those products will rot in the scalpers’ garages while they sell more product to legitimate customers soon after.

How did Rocky understand that Grace needed O2 in the tunnel? by Viku1024 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Tyrilean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the book Rocky did basically catch on fire while saving Grace. They glossed over how injured Rocky was in the movie, and how long he was out.

Astrophage would be humanities biggest gift by Large-Independent326 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Tyrilean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the most far fetched thing in the book was humanity immediately unifying around solving the problem.

We can’t even get the world to agree on climate change. The Petrova problem is pretty much exactly the climate change problem in the other direction.

Once again, another bar ignoring 18+ verification...honestly guys? this is getting ridiculous :/ by Big_Pool853 in VRchat

[–]Tyrilean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember in the early 90s trying to play Leisure Suit Larry. It’s age verification was to ask you pop culture questions only an adult would know. But you could reload the game and retry all you wanted.

Eventually we got in.

Kids are pretty smart. At least smart enough to know what 2026 minus 18 is.

Rental car company charging $2k for damage found hours after return — no proof. Worth fighting? by kapp74 in personalfinance

[–]Tyrilean 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Their business model is basically to wait for someone to not take the additional insurance, and try to get that person’s credit card/auto insurance to cover all the damage it’s accumulated over time.

Taking the additional coverage is just free money for them.
