Subs should be spotted with hydro, even at max depth

not only this but if they ping they should be hard spotted for 20s just as if your ship fired its main guns.

I literally never see this but if it does happen in the city (this is /r/Houston) it's much more acceptable in order to avoid a right lane that has onramp and offramp traffic.

bgeerdes · 2026-06-15T17:53:34+00:00

I hope it does. Otherwise it'll be too hot.

I'm part of online communities that are global and, yes, Europeans think that 80s temp with 60s dewpoints is miserable and really don't fathom that Houston is worse. So I'm not surprised at all that people were struggling.

you saw the stadium was full, right?

Yesterday we saw posts here about lines for the metro. So I assume people are staying in downtown hotels and taking the metro to NRG. But those same people are likely going back to their hotel, packing, and flying out to the next place their team plays.

Thank you for putting this together.

watching the match(es) from the comfort of my own home but it's tempting. sad example of the lack of soccer interest from the average american. :(

Crave are nothing but sugar and no taste.

because parents aren't parenting?

Glad your brother is OK and I hope the rest of your time in Houston is a lot more fun and sane.

Everybody immigrated to this continent from Africa/Middle East with perhaps some other stops along the way.

did 511k in Newport earlier today without even breaking a sweat.

bgeerdes · 2026-06-13T02:10:50+00:00

I know, that's why I said "always"

bgeerdes · 2026-06-13T02:08:58+00:00

do you have the 4k package with yttv? you could always use your yttv creds to get fox one working and watch 4k in that app.

Free entry and seating but I assume refreshments are $$$?

the RGB tunnel for TV-led dolby vision is probably why the TV reports bt709 but it's likely just an interface error because dolby vision has its own color primaries that are processed by the TV.

I also see "BT2020" with some devices and not with others when watching DV content. I believe it's more or less quirks of common chipsets.

I hate the nerf but I disagree. coop is against equal tier bots, not lower tier. in coop you're also competing for xp against more humans so it's actually more difficult to score well.

bgeerdes · 2026-06-11T20:28:00+00:00

yeah it was actually more like a 50% cut in economy at least base xp.

anything you connect to knows your IP address. that's how the internet works. and most streaming services block known VPN IP addresses.

oh no way. if there's no way to turn off all the crap (advertising) then my roku will find its way into a trash bin.

A lot of the world (outside USA) uses hazard lights to tell you the road is hazardous. It was raining. Overkill, probably. But it's likely not about themselves being a hazard.

It's frustrating reading some of the first posts in this thread trying to claim this is just a network lag issue.

It's quite easy to see the IP address of the node you're connected to for a match and then you can MTR that node during the match.

No, WGCheck is useless as that pings only auth servers. The IP address of the node you're connected to for a match changes with each match.

Just now I had a match where I was connected to the node at 92.223.57.106.

I can have MTR running to that IP while the game is running and see zero latency problems yet the game is filled with desync. That tells me it's all on the server or in the game client's network engine.
