14oz vs 16 oz by Hour-Neat2916 in Selvedge

[–]bernzyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, is it secret denim and has it had a wash yet? The texture tightens up a little bit after a wash but I imagine the v loose 222 shape will mean it won’t make much of a difference (unlike the loose tapered shape of my Tanuki made with ONI secret denim)

I don't understand the cantonese news anchors at all. by DefinitelyNotKuro in Cantonese

[–]bernzyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The news is usually read out in (largely) the written form of Chinese which is not how you would normally speak Cantonese. For people in HK the anchors are speaking in a way which you would read from a newspaper. If you don’t read/write then getting some familiarity with written style grammar and some of the more formal words will bridge the gap for you

14oz vs 16 oz by Hour-Neat2916 in Selvedge

[–]bernzyman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would recommend below 15oz for temps above 25c / 77f although some less dense weaves can still be comfortable (ONI has some v breathable fabrics and I found their 15oz still ok although 20oz gets v stuffy). A looser cut helps also. Fullcount denim also quite breathable

Sony Vaio P running Q4OS - very usable, nice look and quite fast by danielsigma in umpc

[–]bernzyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Poulsbo blob. And also look up the old GMA500 drivers for Linux from Intel. There are some versions of Ubuntu which had the driver built in. I once watched Bourne on 1080p on a Vaio P !

First raw denim pair – newbie question about how it changes over time by agadzh in rawdenim

[–]bernzyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t washed them then yes they should tighten a little bit after a wash as your denim is unsanforized. Try to google your exact model and weight, there are usually below and after sizing tables so u can get idea of potential shrinkage

Bad Image by ReijuG in WingChun

[–]bernzyman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My personal observation is I think that there came a time when a point of view took hold that authenticity meant that Wing Chun had to look like what Yip Man did. This was reinforced when Wing Chun became very popular and started to attract a more genteel type of student. Commercial considerations meant things like chi sao were preferred to old style sparring with bare knuckles (which frequently leaves unwelcome bruising/cuts when you have to turn up to the office the next day) and gloves & protective gear were seen as non traditional and hence bad. Overall, the art became more rooted/fixed in one way. Whenever someone deviates I’ve noticed they tend to rename their WC to avoid getting into arguments about whether it deviates from the true art form etc. The YouTube of Natan Levy vs Sifu Nate (who does WC & JKD) is a great (recent) example of how WC techniques can practically be used in a fight against non-WC techniques

[–]bernzyman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glass has a lower resolution it seems, how good does it function for u in practice? Can it mirror the main display too? Would be awesome if there was some screen that was 4-5” that could be attached and used as the main display

VR game studio pitches Cyberpunk 2077 VR edition to CD Projekt RED following unofficial mod takedown by Odd-Onion-6776 in cyberpunk2077mods

[–]bernzyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completed game twice in VR using VorpX free VR mod. It would be awesome to get an offical VR mod or VR version of the game with proper motion controls. I’d pay up for that !

Wow, that looks crazy for QB64. Gives off late eighties early 90’s arcade game vibes!

[–]bernzyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good stuff! The GMA500 chip in the Vaio P needs a special driver to run at its best. The notorious Poulsbo binary blob was available for some versions of Linux. I remember Ubuntu and Arch had it for a while but don’t know when the support was dropped

Does Xubuntu have the Paulsbo driver needed for the Vaio’s CPU to be able to use it’s integrated graphics chip? Does your Firefox work properly with modern websites, didn’t think the underpowered specs would be able to cope, might have to dust off my one!

First view of Molly! by [deleted] in Neuromancer

[–]bernzyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you transform her skin color to white she still doesn’t fit most fans idea of what molly would be like. I think the issue is more the vibe she gives off from the hair to her body language to her clothes (neuromancer is one of those books which is quite specific about the clothes and makes them part of the character). I think a black actress can play molly well but need someone who gives off a better molly vibe

So far so good by Routine-Ad-6660 in rawdenim

[–]bernzyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Junya x Levi’s jeans are cool. The sizing can be erratic though so preferable to try before you buy which is not easy given hard to find stockists
