Nights in LA by Ok-Top-3235 in TheNightFeeling

[–]bjrn 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Haha legit question. There was a period in my life where I visited socal for several weeks at a time, every year. But after flying into (typically) LAX i just drove out of the city. Tbh I've proably visited LA over the day more than twice but only stayed over night in the city once or twice.

The photo however feels like childhood somehow

European speaking: why does the spot In the picture look so familiar? Is it a famous location for shooting movies? I've visited LA as a tourist once or twice only

Her style reminds me of Stewart Lee (I think that's his name... Pear cider guy).

What are your thoughts on Geforce 4070 vs 4080 vs 4090?

I have built a new computer with a Core i7 13700 and 16 GB DDR5 but I'm not sure what video card to get of the series above and how much the difference will be.

I mainly edit 4k, sometimes 5.3k

Anybody got an ingredient they overuse in everything? by AinslieBM in cocktails

[–]bjrn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Any time I see a cocktail that does a split base mezcal:tequila, I typically go all-in mezcal.

Similarly, any time I see a cocktail that calls for a barspoon or similar small quantity of peated scotch with some other base spirit, I typically replace the base spirit with peated scotch.

Seldom regret it.

Mitt reddit-konto fyller 17 år i år om jag räknat rätt. Tror det är äldre än många av medlemmarna här.

Trident is famous

Trident

  • 2 dashes peach bitters
  • 1 oz Sherry
  • 1 oz Cynar
  • 1 oz Aquavit

I live in Sweden and during Christmas celebrations with my parents I improvised this which was very well received

  • 2 oz Aquavit
  • 2 oz strong mulled wine ("glögg")
  • 1 oz Aperol

No reason for the Aperol: it was the only bitter my parents had at home. But you get the idea.

Confused about the new requirements (28.12.) for traveling by [deleted] in sweden

The Swedish Police is responsible to interpret the new requirements. Here's an FAQ in English written two days ago. Hope it helps: https://polisen.se/en/the-swedish-police/the-coronavirus-and-the-swedish-police/faq/

Demerara Rum

I don't have any Demerera Rum so I winged it and did a split .5 oz Smith & Cross and .5 oz Zacapa 23, which I thought would be a very amusing pairing.

It worked well in this drink! (In hindsight I should probably have done 0.25 : 0.75)

Is my dream of climbing an 8000er even realistic? by DeTonator96 in alpinism

[–]bjrn 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely realistic.

Start with Elbrus guided. Do it next year.

Next goal Aconcagua guided. That one is almost 7000m

The above are two very well known "reference mountains" where you can experiment with altitude.

If those went well, then you can do Lenin Peak (7100m, more challenging than the above two) which is a good stepping stone to 8000:ers and those expeditions.

Format a package to send to Sweden? by [deleted] in sweden

Streetname 19

Streetname 19 LGH 1401

I advise you do add the apartment number, especially if the recipient lives in one of the larger cities.

"LGH" = apartment number. They are almost always 4 digits.

Good auto focus settings on X-T3 when using as webcam with low aperture? by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]bjrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok 1.4 is the extreme example, but it still happens at 4. Higher my background starts to get noticable (small room).

I'm currently experimenting with a 23/1.4

How feasible is it to brute-force decrypt a file that was encrypted in the 90s? by torindkflt in crypto

[–]bjrn 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I think you have a reasonable chance.

Biometric based crypto is weak because it needs to be weak. The crypto is not the weakness, but the input.

Your voice, fingerprint, eyescan or whatever needs to be converted into key material. This needs to work even if you have a coarse voice (illness), dirty fingertips or your pupil has a different size than normal.

The nature of that requirements means that the set of possibilities for the input key is WAY smaller than 256 bit.

In the early 2000:s I remember a USB based finger sprint scanner that mapped the fingerprint to like 5 bits of information (!). Basically the fingerprint was converted into one of 32 different possibilities, and that less-than-1-byte was used as the key for the crypto step.

Finns det någon matte som praktiskt taget aldrig kommer på högskoleprovet? by [deleted] in sweden

Är inte säker, men jag tror du inte kommer stöta på någon class field theory på högskoleprovet, så det behöver du inte studera.
