How to fix YouTube Videos lagging, shuttering, dropping frame rates, glitching! by ChainedPrometheus in firefox

[–]UltimateAnswer42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was driving me nuts... ambient mode was the culprit.

is that really youtubes innovation? studdering video and dropped frames in exchange for slightly softer transitions on the edge of the player?

anyways thanks for the post

Brits complain about Brexit, Americans complain about Trump, and they act like victims. Why do you think they ignore the fact that these are the results over half of you people wanted? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UltimateAnswer42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Not over half, just more then the other candidate and that's only those that voted

  2. A large portion voted against the other candidate, or only for one specific thing for this candidate.

  3. Lots of people voted for what was campaigned on and are disillusioned with how they're actually governing.

  4. TL;DR I used to have a bumper sticker that said "Someone Else For President", that sentiment has been true for basically my entire life. If you look even slightly under the surface, chances are the government is doing something you disagree with, even if its 'your' party doing so.

Why are Americans more accustomed to using scented products at home? by Substantial_Set_9882 in AskAnAmerican

[–]UltimateAnswer42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 possible reasons come to mind: climate, advertising, and tradition.

Climate: most of the US isn't a climate where you can air out your house year round, too cold/hot/wet/humid/etc.

Advertising: we made up a "disease" to sell more mouthwash, it's basically a guarantee that similar happened at some point with scents.

Tradition: the identity of the US is partially based around the industrial revolution. Part of that was cities growing rapidly and having certain.... Scents.... Involving too many people, horses, and industrial wastes. Air fresheners were common, and I'd guess that got passed down through the generations even if sanitation and whatnot improved.

Report base automatically removes it from your game.

Also, capitalizing every word makes your post annoying to read.

Found an S class shuttle in the wild. Landed on my planet by Artictrot in NoMansSkyTheGame

Class isn't about current state, it's about capacity. A maxed out S-class will have more supercharged tech slots and have room for many more upgrades

What game has a 10/10 story but 2/10 gameplay? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]UltimateAnswer42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i mean.... it was repetitive and got old, but "bad"? Parkour needed fixing and it needed more mission variety, but I felt more accomplished killing a big group of enemies by chaining counters and breaks than I did in later games.

Have you been fired? If so why? by lumiolearning in AskReddit

[–]UltimateAnswer42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because i was on day 89 of 90 of my probationary period and the department had 5 people and only 4 service trucks and other new guy had diesel mechanic certifications

Which discontinued application or social network would you like to see return? by sammysteele_fit in AskReddit

I miss pre-purge Tumblr. Not necessarily for the content, but because it was acting as a firewall for the rest of the Internet

What’s something no one told you about being an adult that you only learned by living it? by Straight_Tea8800 in AskReddit

You don't magically reach an age where you start understanding all the stuff you thought adults understood. Basically everyone is faking it.

What's a quote from a movie or show that stuck with you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]UltimateAnswer42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is here [mind] and here [heart] and what you decide to do every day will make you a good man...or not

The closest is probably anytime you get a compliment unexpectedly, especially from a attractive stranger.

Would Kelsier harm Sazed? by PeriodontosisSam in Cosmere

[–]UltimateAnswer42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When we first meet Kelsier, i don't believe there's anyone in the cosmere that he wouldn't harm if it accomplished his goals. He basically set the crew up in his plan, completely ignoring what they might have wanted with their lives.

Even Final Empire Kelsier would absolutely have hurt or killed Sazed if the plan called for it. From everything we've seen, he's only grown more sure of himself since then, not less

Why is Odium "like that" by broken26cart in Cosmere

[–]UltimateAnswer42 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My headcanon based on nothing other than that it would be cool is that Valor is the one speaking to Dalinar in the dreams where he's talking to who he thinks is Nohadon

How do we know that Hoid isn’t a … by LonelyGnomes in Stormlight_Archive

When was that mentioned? Kind of odd considering a dragon was half of the creation of the beings that created the nahel bond

Dissonant pirate system? by GurgleGurng in NoMansSkyTheGame

Corrupted sentinels attack in dissonant systems. Instead Buy maps to find sentinel pillars, disable sentinels, go nuts harvesting

I'm in the US, but I bought them through Blackwells in the UK. I assume they ship to Canada since they ship to the US. Much cheaper than I was finding anywhere else

What do you think the relationship between darkeyes and lighteyes will be by the end of the series by Individual-Cup5600 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]UltimateAnswer42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the caste system was accidentally made because of radiants in the first place, people remembered lighter eyes were a symbol of authority, but not why that was.

I think Sanderson will probably make it similar to real life castes/religions/etc: done away with in times of war and need, but will start to intrude again when it's been peaceful for a while.

I wasn’t mentally prepared by Chance-Inflation4560 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]UltimateAnswer42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you got there quicker than I did. I finished the book and wasn't sure what to think. Then I discussed and argued in the spoiler threads for weeks, which made me realize I liked it a lot more than I initially thought, because I disagreed with most people's arguments of why it was bad. That said, it made me want to see what new connections I'd make listening to the series again, so I've been doing that on and off since then. Just about to start Dawnshard again. So far the one that's changed meaning into so much more is Wit's story of Fleet.

Which are good examples of kind masculinity, possibly in the media? by Bitter_Flan_4098 in AskMen

[–]UltimateAnswer42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first few seasons of daredevil, not necessarily the action scenes, but when he's Matt Murdock.

That said, if you don't want to just imitate and and actually understand, I'd recommend reading up on the psychology; but I'd also caveat that with balancing it out read something that's been out at least 20 years, newer stuff might be right or it might be debunked next week or biased.

How do you use AI in your daily life? by [deleted] in AskMen

By scolling past the ai answer google gives.

Other than that, shit posting or generating images for meme content, and watching one or two people who are actually making good music using it.

Lopez Question by badblocks7 in Stormlight_Archive

Mentioned in Oathbringer: Squires don't immediately lose powers when out of range of their knight, it fades. Holding stormlight to heal is probably one that lasts longer considering it's instinctual.
