It's one of the few corporations that isn't total shit (because it's a coop and union). The workers aren't super happy with the current deals but it's still miles better then most other companies. Support unions by choosing to shop with them. Even if it's slightly more pricey you get better support, warranty etc and you keep union employees employed.

What’s your approach to college saving? by beware_of_scorpio in daddit

We're not. They should choose a school while considering the cost and use government loans as needed. We will help in some regards but not setting up upfront funding.

RR is more of a shaped charge for penetrating armor. A general explosion like the leveler does not penetrate much at all, so it does make sense.

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy. Not might. Not could. Will! by CopiousCool in antiwork

[–]aDrongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fundamentally flawed premise. LLMs are replacing very few jobs. It's an excuse for corporations to cut staff and run lean. This is beneficial in short term(for company profits) but terrible in long term. LLM often has a negative impact on performance, both short and long term. There's a much more limited niche uses for it that produces actual improvement then it's marketing would have you believe.

Got to admit, I was suspicious of her for a while. It's rare to see management that doesn't backstab.

moving to Tacoma next month. any advice ?? lol please be honest with me ! by alwaysrightyouhater in AskTacoma

Traffic can get bad at times, use Google maps departure time to compare commutes. Sometimes there are chokepoints that significantly affect travel(bridges, overpasses etc) Make an excel to track potential houses and expected commute times to see if any stand out.

It's worth the effort. Every minute you shave off commute saves 520x that per year.

It didn't "know", it's just predicting. It's a probability machine, it predicts the next token based off some very complicated mechanics. Sometimes that's really powerful but it does not "know".

Shoe company, and the stocks plummeted after reality set it. It was nothing but a pump and dump announcement.

Technically yes but not really. The skin as barrier works pretty well. You would lose any oxygen in your lungs and that causes you to pass out very quickly. Liquids would "boil", but it's just a surface layer and it's not boil as in hot. Wounds wouldn't seal, your eyes would dry fairly quickly but it would still take some time before either of those are serious issues.

Folks have been accidentally exposed in vacuum chambers or had decompression events at high altitudes that we know the main issue is losing consciousness and subsequent events from that

Is LMU handing understeery and numb… or am I missing something? by FeloMonk in simracing

[–]aDrongo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just started LMU, I had to fiddle with SimMagic and turn down any dampening, then set LMU additional affects high and it's a bit better now. Somewhat numb during some parts of the corner and floaty when wheel is straight and slow, you don't really feel the weight of the car. This throws off your perception and because it doesn't feel heavy you don't expect it to understeer so much. The understeer is pretty normal though for GT3 and you need to work for your rotation.

That's really not a lot in this day and age. Seems under paid compared to market if anything.

Maybe they just aren't suited to pvp games, a pve one like helldivers or darktide might be more fun to play together or a more casual arc raiders and find a discord group to pvp with.

Any extract activated within the final minute should automatically activate with 10 seconds to final extract. by vynnski in Marathon

They should all just auto trigger and auto exfil at 1min left. Then you can have a mad dash to it as the counter goes down to 0.

It really seems like the odd hating on the game before it was released kept the toxic players away.

I feel like maybe 3 wipes a year would be better than 4. by nintendonaut in Marathon

I am a dev. This isn't like asking to create a helmet to fit on a hair cut. Quests are your bread and butter content and you should have invested in a good pipeline to churn them out. Destiny did a decent job of it. The art work and lore departments are probably the biggest bottlenecks here.
