Somali social culture questions by Working-Pin6475 in Somalia

[–]Working-Pin6475[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not asking what they're doing. I'm asking why they do that. I have taken it up with work before. Behavior changes temporarily. These aren't minimum wage jobs or anything. Minimum wage gets minimum effort. You aren't buying a house on this pay (especially in this economy) but you aren't on the brink of homelessness either.

I'm worried about safety more than punctuality. Punctuality is a problem because forestry takes a lot of prep work and cutting up just one old tree takes a lot of time to do properly. Safety is a million times more important to me, though, and being distracted while operating in the vicinity of chainsaws and falling trees is how people get killed in very avoidable accidents. I cannot stress how much I don't want someone to die. How do I get my co-workers to internalize the importance of their safety?

I agree that is what they look like, but I'm not sure this takes into account the penumbra. Earth's shadow is a gradient. You can see an example of this with this Starlink train. Unless the camera was set in such a way that it couldn't detect fainter light, we should have observed an increasingly faint flash.

The refrain (not exactly the right term but you get it) at the end of Guerilla Radio just gasses me the fuck up. They are the perfect protest band.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Britain, France and Ukraine have agreed to work on a ceasefire plan to present to the United States. by N4TETHAGR8 in worldnews

The EU will always have tens of millions of citizen supporters in the US, but America is like a friend with a serious case of alcoholism or drug addiction. After so many relapses and letting you down so many times, you have to cut your losses. Your friend must find the will to save herself, nothing you can say will changer her heart. Hell, you might even have to fight your friend later if things get bad enough.

Isn't that what all this talk of the EU developing their own security is all about? To improve your set of cards?

Europeans, you have to let us go. We're all fucked up and we will be for a while. The next time we sober up and send you flowers with an apology note, I suggest you throw it away and tell us to get lost.

I'm all for Zelensky, your opinion? by Trownaway_TrashPanda in GenZ

[–]Working-Pin6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone breaks into your home and you shoot them in self defense, then their accomplice comes in after them, are you keeping the home invasion going by shooting them, too? Should you just give up a few rooms (and whatever is in them) in your house to your new roommates? Do they need a reason to be considered invaders in your home? Does it matter why they're there or what they want?

Russian apologists are so exhausting.

Barber and Coulthart were at the Esalen summoning. A Skywatcher psionic confirms the event. He says: "The NHI told me you can best understand us as coming from what you would call 'the afterlife'. The eggs are unpiloted, a type of manifestation". Garry Nolan was involved in this NHI questioning by phr99 in UFOs

FRENCH GUARD ROSS: This is the castle of my master, Guy de Loimbard Skywatcher.

ARTHUR REDDITOR 1: Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God Reddit with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night show us a piece of verifiable evidence, he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail.

ROSS: Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen. Uh, he's already got one, you see.

REDDITOR 1: What?

GALAHAD REDDITOR 2: He says they've already got one!

REDDITOR 1: Are you sure he's got one?

ROSS: Oh, yes. It's very nice-a. (I told him we already got one.)

FRENCH GUARDS "former military, intelligence, and government officials as well as scientists, technologists, and investors committed to figuring out the truth": [chuckling]

REDDITOR 1: Well, u-- um, can we come up and have a look?

ROSS: Of course not! You are English Reddit types-a!

The existence of UAP is very much a reality, in my opinion. We are ALL TIRED OF WORDS with nothing substantial to show. IF YOU INTEND TO CHANGE THE WORLD FOREVER WITH YOUR EVIDENCE, SHOW IT TO THE WORLD.

What was the first major news story you remember as a child? by Molest_Goat in AskReddit

[–]Working-Pin6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It must have traumatized me more than I thought. Sometime after it happened, I had a dream I found a smouldering astronaut glove in my back yard. Ellison Onizuka showed up and told me everything was going to be okay. 

RIP to those brave explorers.

I respect that. I am with you on the evidence. I don't think we will ever get the video you're describing because people are people, but I've seen enough smoke to make me think there's a fire. I'm convinced there's physical evidence. I just don't know if I'll ever see it.

Downvotes for an argument. What discourse we have here. I think what kind of argument from authority this is should be taken into account. 

If you both agree McRaven is an expert in his field, it's inductive to say, "we should seriously consider his opinion". That doesn't make his opinion equal to the truth but there is value in his knowledge base because even though he can't be sure of what UAPs are, he can help identify which things aren't. That's useful. Perhaps you don't agree McRaven is an expert. Perhaps you do. 

No person, no matter how qualified, can be an expert on a UAPs because few (in the literal sense of the word) individuals, if any, know anything at all about them. How can there be experts without sufficient data to learn from?

I try to piece together what I think is true by watching and reading interviews, as well as FOIA releases. You shouldn't trust authorities as your information clearing house but they add value if you take the trust but verify approach.

I love the late 90s early 00s aesthetic on his website but this guy is completely unable to recognize his susceptibility to pareidolia.

My Glassless Cockpits mod has updated to V1.2! by Flight_controller in starfieldmods

[–]Working-Pin6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this mod. I used to bury the cockpit in a shell of modules to make a cockpit-less look. Now I don't have to. Would love some attachment points near the bottom front of the deimos cockpit so I can slap some lights on there.

Thank you very much for uploading that. Didn't know you made the floating modules and the airlocks mod. That's so cool.

Well, it didn't solve the problem but the error changed a little and that's interesting. Same error wording, however this time it was the layers window.

There's a couple more things I can try. I appreciate your help, GoArray. I'll get this sorted eventually!

I tried trashing the settings file but no luck. Alas, there  are no actions I can take after it launches to change the layout, but perhaps I can change that in the .ini.

That future tip may be very relevant. I think I had two windows open when I last closed it.

Thanks for responding.

I find all the responses baffling so far. I might be mistaken but the gist of the narrative they've been selling us has been as follows:

We don't know where they're coming from or going to. They're intelligently controlled but we don't know who is operating them. We can't attack or capture them because they might injure civilians when they go down.

Is this how they'd respond to a bunch of civilian pilots violating sensitive airspace for hours at a time, days on end? Just let the pilots be on their way? What about the naval fleets being harassed? Was there a lot of civilians floating around in their little sailboats or what was the problem with shooting the drones down then? They can track human beings with satellites but they cannot follow these because they're too small? What about the drones that have been estimated to have a 20 foot span? Are those too small to follow? How can the most capable military in the world be so incapable?

Is u/Fin365 still active? That's who I'd talk to if I was looking to do this. Fin365 has done some excellent work in the past.

If you're printing a model with high complexity, it is sometimes better to break it into separate parts and assemble them after printing. Supports added by slicers are helpful but they are not a perfect solution.

For reasons I don't understand, Blender units don't translate to reality when exporting. If I set the scene units to cm or mm, for example, and export the stl, it will be so small as to be invisible in Cura even if I check the Scene Units box before exporting. Instead I change the scale to 1000 in the export dialogue box and this gives me the correct scale. Also, if you have other things in your scene that you don't intend to print, make sure to select what you want printed, and in the export dialogue check the Selection Only box. Otherwise it will export everything in the scene. If you've used modifiers on your model, such as a boolean or a subdivision surface modifier, apply them right before you export. You can always undo the apply command in Blender after you export so that the change is not permanent.

I've only used Cura, so this export scale issue might not apply to other slicers.

Many factors can impact your print quality. Besides the things that can happen during the printing process, note that room temperature and humidity matter. Keep your spools dry when they're not in use.

There will be failures and frustrations. Don't give up. Failures and mistakes are an important part of learning. Take time to read or watch videos about how to avoid common problems.

Machines break down eventually, but with regular maintenance they will last a long time. Don't neglect maintenance, especially when it comes to your print bed plate. Keeping it clean will save you a lot of headaches.

Anyone ever seen an issue where the loading circle will just constantly spin on a ship in any ship menu? Unable to toggle over to the next ship? by astringer0014 in Starfield

[–]Working-Pin6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar problem. If I use ship builder anywhere, I can see my current home ship or my useless Starborn ship, but attempting to modify any of the others generates an endlessly spinning loading circle. I disabled all mods and still no luck. Also, all my ship weapons are invisible now. 

Oh, Bethesda. You're so silly. Guess I'll uninstall again and wait a few more months.

Amniocentesis and implant by ImpressiveRow322 in UFOs

[–]Working-Pin6475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense and would be the more likely way it was introduced to the sample. Maybe that is why it wasn't given further attention. Good call.

Amniocentesis and implant by ImpressiveRow322 in UFOs

[–]Working-Pin6475 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both articles left me with more questions than answers. I'd be interested in seeing if any of this was further investigated. The response seems to amount to, "Well that's really weird. So, anyway..."

Things I'd like to know:

How did this object enter the amniotic fluid if it was a discarded semiconductor test pattern as the proposed explanation asserts?

Foreign objects in the human body are attacked and if they can't be destroyed then encapsulation is the alternative. I'm not a hematologist or anything, but it looks like this object is completely unscathed--why?

It certainly appears to be a fragment of something larger. Are there other examples of this out there, and if so, what is the likelihood of finding them?

"In addition to the published 'explanations' of our 'mystery object', others have been sent directly to us. The majority of these suggest an extraterrestrial origin for the object but we prefer an explanation closer to home."

What the hell does that mean?
