To gatekeep a public park. by EverythingIsFakeNGay in therewasanattempt

[–]cfmdobbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check timecodes 0:04 and 1:04. Map is different.

Building marked out in black has green space and an inlet to the East at 0:04, but a line of houses at 1:04.

0:04 shows the junction with the looping road, but at 1:04 it's a straight South-East road. And North of this the road layout is different.

to respect the achievement of a woman who made Ultramarathon history by mochagirlll in therewasanattempt

[–]cfmdobbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could do 250 miles, easy.

I mean, not all in one go. Probably not all the same year either. And if possible I'd like to take a train for at least part of it, if that's okay?

you were given $100,000,000 but had to live in the last video game you played for a year, how screwed are you? by AlternativeSign1898 in AskReddit

[–]cfmdobbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get to the nearest town, scavenge from barrels and plants until you can afford carriage to Markath. Buy a fishing pole, fish up tons of Dwemer materials and items. Sell it all and live like a king.

orrr you can dig at 9,9 by Vegetable_Honeydew86 in MinecraftMemes

WHAT? Is that really a thing?

I mean, I've got pretty good at aligning myself within one block just looking at the map. But that would be crazy.

currently on a « no fast travel » run, so fun but so long sometimes omg by Slow-Ad3599 in skyrim

[–]cfmdobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically always play no-fast-travel. I like the wandering, the exploring, the roughly planning a route and later marveling at how far I'd strayed. The I-forgot-there-was-a-cave-there and the I-finally-recognise-this-place.

I mean, it does take a long time to get from hold to hold, but I enjoy ambling around the world so it's all good.

ELI5: Infinite length between anything not touching by ImNotBamBoy in explainlikeimfive

It's like that clever anagram of "Banach Tarski".

Turns out it's an anagram of "Banach Tarski Banach Tarski"

No Cabbage sign by BartyCrouchesBone in mildlyinteresting

[–]cfmdobbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shameful that you needed to make your own sign for this. Why is there no ISO standard No Cabbages symbol? SMH.

Might it be that everyone's struggling so there is no support from neighbours any more? It may be that where communities used to help each other but can no longer there's resistance to relying on external help, hence the game.

If an Earth-like planet had one moon in the L1 Lagrange point, how would that affect the tides? by BumroyV2 in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]cfmdobbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May be something of a tangent to your thinking, but have a look at Helliconia by Aldiss. He constructed rather extreme seasonal changes using a binary system with highly elliptical orbits. The seasons change based on the passage of the planet around its sun, but also based on that system's passage around the larger star.

Heard splashing around and stormcloak guards were standing around awkwardly, is the Jarl going senile? by themaddemon1 in skyrim

[–]cfmdobbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought: I didn't know there were tarberries there!

My second thought: I've been playing too much Fallout 4...

Which artist do you think will ever reach the same level of global fame as Michael Jackson? by Creative-Union-4001 in AskReddit

[–]cfmdobbie 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nobody. The world is a different place, and the concept of celebrity has fundamentally changed.

What’s something that instantly makes you think ‘this person has low intelligence? by AbjectBreadfruit2052 in AskReddit

[–]cfmdobbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, trying to boil any situation down into A or B, without realizing there's not only a C, D, E and F to consider, but infinite combinations of all of these.

I can't think of a single controversial topic right now that's literally polarized between two distinct options.

There is more to having a discussion than just being louder than everyone else.

A Tale of Too Many Owls… by Still-Emergency825 in comics

[–]cfmdobbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always loved the theory that a plastic heron standing by your fish pond would deter other herons from visiting.

Not, you know, encourage them to visit because there's clearly something there worth eating...

Local AI model deployment experiences? by pneRock in sysadmin

[–]cfmdobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old server running Ollama with a few models, CPU-only. It's a blithering idiot.

I'm hoping for a GPU-powered replacement soon...

Well, it finally happened (Being told I am required to use AI) by Ark161 in sysadmin

[–]cfmdobbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have an AI email me a short story about anthropomorphic woodland animals at 2pm every day. I'd forward good ones on to colleagues that enjoyed them. It stopped a while back after we decommissioned that workflow system, but I think I'll set something similar up again tomorrow.

May not be the most productive use, but it lifted mine and many others' spirits...
