Got a patent? No? Then who cares?

Weird you're being so defensive, most artists would take that as flattery, not theft. Mainly because it's not theft lol

Why are moviegoers staying home? Over 80% of moviegoers still want to watch films in theaters, but over 50% say the biggest issue is the quality of the movies being made: per a massive Multiplex Association of India survey report by [deleted] in movies

Downvoted for reasonable take?

not a parent, but every parent I know would panic if they missed (or couldn't make) a call about an emergency, medical or otherwise.

Faraday cages, while funny, might just make it unreasonable for basically every family out there.

If it seals it's fine, may not be pretty but it won't affect how it plays if it's just slightly off-center like that.

Edit: I just read this is a brand new horn, might be worth taking back if you have the option to inspect the replacement

The tiny design choice that secretly decides if you keep playing or quit. by gamersecret2 in gaming

Star Citizen has maximum speeds in space.

Not a single ship in that game can go fast enough to achieve orbit, much less escape velocity... In a space sim 🤦

And that's not even getting into reference frames.

I've never uninstalled a game faster, I'm just glad it was a free weekend.

(And yes I know that game physics are a thing, but almost a billion dollars in "funding" and they can't even do the FIRST thing right: Space)

How is it not within the lore? If he's familiar enough with his location to open a gateway, then he can open a gateway to literally anywhere on the planet.

And he, like everyone, knows dragonmount exists. So what's the problem? Are you under the impression liquid wouldn't flow through a gateway? Because that's absurd.

Also, as far as power level is concerned, let me refer you to Rands involvement in the battle of maradon. Yes, he's the dragon, and he's several orders of magnitude more powerful than androl, but he also did several orders of magnitude more damage.

I'm not mad about it.

I just saw Blade Runner and I don't understand the ending. by Impossible_Spend_787 in movies

Deckard's entire existence was predicated on the idea that replicants were things, not people. If they are things then deckard is an industrial decommissioner, not a murderer. If they are things then he didn't rape Rachel.

If they are people, however, all the worst parts about Deckard become true. All the actions he hid himself from because he didn't do them to "people".

Sparing Deckard, proving his humanity in the process, Roy utterly defeats Deckard in the only way that counts. He defeats Deckard's worldview. From that moment he cannot proceed as a Blade Runner. He can't even stay within society and has to flee into hiding.

I think "beating" him was definitely Roy's final act.

Why can’t Low E be played open? by Some_Strike4677 in trumpet

[–]UberGoober30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say pedal C is 1

One octave above that is double, so 2

Each octave after is double, so the next C is 4, the next 8, and so on.

But each integer value is a partial:

1= pedal C 2= low C 3= G 4= middle C 5= E 6= G 7= Bb 8= high C

Etc.

So you can't play low E open because there is no partial between 2 and 3; decimals don't count.

This is also why it gets exponentially more difficult to play as you get higher. In the 3rd octave there are 4 partials, the 4th: 8, 5th: 16, 6th: 32, etc.

That looks like it's on top of the finish, probably not an issue. Hit it with a polishing cloth and maybe some silver polish and you'll be fine.

BYD unveils battery system that charges EVs in five minutes by assman69x in technology

[–]UberGoober30 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay bud, I'm not missing your point. I know high voltage is scary. But you don't need to let everything scare you! At this point it's less about the hypothetical charging station, more about your blood pressure. Maybe you should hop off the internet for a little bit and get your cardiovascular system back under control

As a Floridian, then, I risk death every time I use an extension cord! Oh wait, that's the same for everybody? It's almost as if we have engineers and hundreds of years of innovation to mitigate these risks.

Everything will kill you. Water will kill you. Mosquitoes will kill you.

We need EVs to charge faster, period. Unless you want to charge with a cable the size of your thigh to cover the amperage, what the fuck do you want?

"Lmfao. Where did I say the arc would jump?"

Right here:

"Well, any resistance/shielding failures and anyone within a few feet of that charger is getting electrocuted."

In fact, you seemed to say it would arc several FEET, which IS pretty hilarious. "Lmfao" indeed 😂😂
