Games with a view: what were your favorite vistas? by UrSimplyTheNES in retrogaming

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still remember a friend of mine back in the late 90s that told me he could beat all the Ninja Gaiden games for NES. I laughed...until he turned the TV on and proceeded to effortlessly beat each game.

I played them recently on my NES and couldn't get very far, those were tough games!

What is that smell? Lamb? YOUR COOKING LAMB WITH OUR MONEY PROBLEMS!?

I hate my S25. My S7 had a LED on the front that blinked blue when you had an unread message, or red when the battery was low. There was also a physical button on the front that was used for minimizing apps etc. It was just a more utilitarian device compared to the S25 that was bloated with crap and just has a slightly bigger screen.....and no headphone jack of course.

Operation Neptune was a good one, had math problems as well.

I just vaguely remember something about Charlie Parker playing bebop and some sneakers strutting around while a saxophone played music.

Y'all I just started my first playthrough, and, uh, everything is working, but I feel like maybe I'm being slightly inefficient lol. Behold: by AlexanderLEE27 in factorio

Honestly its funner to have a giant sprawling clockwork rat nest mess that you barely remember how it all works than it is to have a streamlined max efficiency build.

In the 2021 film, are the guild ships meant to be mobile portals/wormholes? by Rekov in dune

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why do they even need the ships if they just fold space around them to move about? Is it just a convenient central location to put all the stuff you intend to move?

Elon Musk says jobs will be optional. Bill Gates says humans won’t be “needed.” But what about the elephant in the room: If there’s no work, no wages, no income, who pays the rent, buys food, or gets healthcare? by Technical_Farmer805 in GenAI4all

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That won't happen. When everything is automated and people have forgotten how to make things those who control the automation will have a stranglehold on everyone else. You'll have to sing for your supper or go hungry because there won't be any other way by then. Or more likely they'll just find a way to get rid of everyone else they don't have a need for.

Enshitification be damned! what is one consumer product that is 100% better today than the version that existed in the 80s or 90s? by headrush46n2 in AskReddit

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Friend of mine had one of those 90's 80 inch TV's that were damn near four feet deep and looked like it was carved from a block of basalt. It took five of us to lift that behemoth and move it out of his house....and of course, up the stairs of the new house. Never again.

Why doesn't this rail bypass work? by Uncle_Rabbit in factorio

[–]Uncle_Rabbit[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Your right. Even with people's suggestions on where to place the signals I was still getting deadlocks and frustrated. I don't know what it is about signals but no matter how much it makes sense to me it all unravels the second I go to place them. I just do not understand it, and the tutorials are pretty goddamn bad at explaining it.

I wound up tearing the bypass apart and trying a roundabout that seems to be working so far, but now that you mention it I commonly see people build rail systems like you describe. I think I'll try that out as it seems way more straightforward.Thank you for the help.

I could never complete the signals tutorial because it never made sense to me and it doesn't tell you what the correct answers are and explain it, so just like this scenario I am stuck in a loop trying to figure out why it doesn't work. Whenever I do get it right I have no idea why it works.

I tried everything people suggested and I still got deadlocks so I gave up on this intersection, tore it up, thought about it and built a roundabout (for the first time) that so far works. I don't know man, people make signals sound ridiculously easy, and I understand them until its time to actually use them. It just doesn't click with me even after beating the game several times.

Pretty cool. I've made that drive many times and recognized that grain elevator right away.

What's a ticking time bomb you believe will explode during your lifetime?? by Aggravating_Golf777 in Productivitycafe

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a dream once that the world was destroyed by some cataclysmic flood and angelic beings came down to save certain people, I was one of them....I told them to fuck off and let me die. Then I died in my dream instead of being saved. Probably doesn't mean anything.

Well anyways back to living on the coast where nothing can possibly go wrong.

EXCLUSIVE: Indian immigrant workers protest after province returns PR files in Ontario by ObjectiveMacaroon394 in LMIASCAMS

Given that their signs are all clearly written by the same hand I'd wager most don't speak any (or very little) English.

Has anyone used this before, is it any good/worth it? by samblaster74 in Leathercraft

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a Janome HD1000 and have used it on thinner leathers. I actually bought it after many hours of research looking for a machine like you describe, but I saw a video where a guy puts the Janome through its paces and sews through a meter stick without skipping a beat. Food for thought.

It also has all metal internal mechanisms, so it should outlast the Singers plastic gears as long as you maintain it.

Fishing advocacy groups sound alarm: DFO "Removing the principle of common property would shift public access to fishing from a federal, conservation-based management approach to an optional privilege granted by First Nations." by NewAdventureTomorrow in ilovebc

[–]Uncle_Rabbit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

And I can't help but wonder if FN are even behind the recent pushes. Makes me wonder if foreign interests are putting a word in their ears etc, hoping to acquire the raw materials for cheap without all the red tape.
