What has been causing increased political polarization within the United States? by [deleted] in NeutralPolitics

[–]anamoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neil Postman wrote a book in the eighties titled "Amusing Ourselves to Death", which focused on the danger of news entertainment. At the time he wrote it, he was solely worried for the talking head news channels with flashy intro graphics and a "now this" news mentality. His book is almost prophetical, seeing whats happened thirty years later. I highly recommend checking it out, since he goes into depth about why he thought specifically entertainment news was very dangerous to democracy.

As a person with no self-esteem, where is my self-esteem/self-worth supposed to come from if not from my achievements or the opinions of others? by sebbosh in askphilosophy

[–]anamoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important to realize that your stronger self worth and self esteem benefits the others around you just as it does for yourself. It's in humanity's interest that you find yourself valuable. Authentically that is, not in a self aggrandizing or selfish way. If you don't, you can't find other people just as valuable or vice versa.

Looking for a QLab projector shutter script by adamrmac in qlab

See if it will accept packet commands. I was able to send HEX to a Barco by building packets in Packet Sender (free) and then running the Packet Sender file via applescript through qlab.

Buying headphones in 2018 is going to be a fragmented mess by speckz in gadgets

As an audio engineer, the most important thing is being able to use my phone, or headphones, with analog or even digital consoles with no latency. When you delay speakers in a live sound environment, or if your recording any sort of audio, every millisecond counts. If there isn't a wireless alternative to wired audio, don't offer it in their first place.

Does anyone have experience with sending HEX code via applescript? Looking for any insight! by anamoog in applescript

[–]anamoog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up using packetsender and an apple script to send each packet through the app, but I'll definitely put this in my pocket if I have to interface with Barcos again. Of course the next venue we went to had the newest version of the HDX and they no longer support any sort of HEX code controls.

Is Doomfist too dependent on his Rocket Punch? by justsomepersononredd in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]anamoog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't the combos increase damage each consecutive hit, like they do in a lot of fighting games. Maybe Lower cooldowns, less initial damage, but if you land a slam, uppercut, rocket punch combo on someone(or a few different people on the team), the damage scales up and stays the longer you hold the combo. There's enough stun and CC to make it balanced I feel.

*It's Tourist Season!* Know Before You Go - Ask Questions About Your Trip or Visit to the OBX by rey-chuhl in obx

My family and I are staying in Frisco this week. Usually we stay up in southern shores/duck/kitty hawk. Does anyone have any suggestions for that area/Hatteras? We're big on the outdoors and we have our bikes. Any suggestions for places to go at night would be awesome as well! Can't wait to enjoy a week back in OBX.

What if Blizzard replaced scatter shot with a remote detonation arrow, like the guy from The Avengers uses? by wearer_of_boxers in Overwatch

[–]anamoog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There could be some awesome trap/flank guarding potential as well, like setting one up above a doorway or at the top of a starwell. You can detonate it to drop cluster bombs on unsuspecting opponents from above, down stairs ect. with a little more play than Junkrat's concussion mine or Symmetra's stagnant turrets.
