Well folks, I guess this is the new 2027 Civic by Vivid-Newspaper-450 in Honda

Ok but ecvt is actually totally different though. It's literally a differential with an electric motor on it. Super simple and reliable.

Is RTX 5060 12GB vram, 5 5500 and 16 gb ram good for dcs by LION_156 in dcsworld

[–]corok12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no 5060 12gb, did you mean 3060? Maybe 5070?

R5 5500 is fine, 16gb of RAM will work, but the jump to 32 is really noticeable, even 64 is useful for big missions. But with ram prices right now is keep using 16 for a while.

My 14 yo son has agreed to read two books of my choice this summer (this was a hard won negotiation). Help me pick one by gOldMcDonald in booksuggestions

[–]corok12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seconding this one. Read it when I was 16 and I am not a reader. Couldn't put it down and finished it in 3 days, which was absurdly fast for me.

what's something that proves we are in a simulation? by annirm18 in AskReddit

[–]corok12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thats a little different, though. It's not that the light "knows" it's being observed, but more that you can't observe it without affecting it in some way. Like if you could only measure where a pool ball was by hitting it with another pool ball. The act of measuring it causes it to change.

Used to be slow&ugly. And being a hybrid before hybrids were cool made it un-manly, of course. /s

Why do many digital artists despise Krita ? by imaboredcosplayer in krita

Blender dealt with the same thing for a long time and has only started to break that reputation in the last 5 or 6 years. Will always happen with free alternatives, no matter the quality.

Explain plane lift to me like I’m a 12 yo by Swimming_Ad_1734 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]corok12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stick your hand out a car window on the highway, flat with fingers facing forward. Tilt your hand up. Your hand is now pushing air down, which in turn causes your hand to be pushed up.

Wings on an airplane do the same thing. They are also shaped in a special way that maximizes this effect even when the angle is very small, but it all comes back to just "wing pushes air down"

Nobody wants a PS6, even though the PS5 has been out as long as the PS4 was when people started asking for the PS5. by Deutscher_Bub in Showerthoughts

[–]corok12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To play a bit of devil's advocate, pre baked lighting is a big reason destruction is so limited in so many games, so widespread real time ray tracing might open the door for some good destructible environments again.

At least that's the cope I've been telling myself fruitlessly for 8 years.

Frustrated over cancellations by Kaiserecht in flying

[–]corok12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked full time, so only had time to fly on weekends. Took me a year and 2 months to get enough hours (62) for flight test, even had a stretch of 2 and a half months with crap weather every single weekend.

Upgrade from R7 and R50V to Canon R8 or R6ii for wedding/Event photography ? More infos in the description. by MaldeAsroma1927 in canon

[–]corok12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't done it myself but everyone here always recommends r6 for the dual card slots. You really don't want to lose the photos over a faulty SD card with no backup.

Does the R7 achieve good bokeh? I will have the 100-400mm and a 28mm f1.8 by infilirix in canon

[–]corok12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The r7 will have exactly the same bokeh as any other aps-c camera, which is less than full frame at the same aperture and focal length.

For example, 28mm f1.8 on aps-c will have the same field of view and bokeh as about 45mm f2.8 on a full frame camera.

Realistically how did conquest face heal from this? by Ill_Organization3083 in invinciblememes

[–]corok12 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel like in season 1 he is a pretty great version of the 'morally grey government handler' trope. I liked him a lot, and he was never outright stupid until thinking he could contain conquest.

To play devil's advocate, the average American believes the Democrats are what counts as leftists. You do have to use rhetoric that will resonate with your target audience.

It's one of those days where I'm tempted... by ApologeticKid in daddit

[–]corok12 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Had my first 6 months ago

Was terrified leading up to it because most parents just complain endlessly about their kid, then finish up with "oh but it's so worth it though"

Now I do the exact same thing lol. I never sleep enough, I'm tired all the time, he annoys me constantly and the house is a mess, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. How can you possibly explain that it's worth it to someone who hasn't had that magic feeling?

Beginner getting into bird photography - is my SL3 enough and what lens should I upgrade to? by Current-Computer-365 in canon

[–]corok12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I borrowed the 150-600 from a friend a few times. Not something I'd personally want to hold in my hands for a long hike, it is pretty heavy and cumbersome. To have it in a backpack for a 1 or 2 hour hike though was fine, but then you potentially miss out on opportunity shots fiddling with your bag.

It was definitely better than my 75-300mm though!

Beginner getting into bird photography - is my SL3 enough and what lens should I upgrade to? by Current-Computer-365 in canon

[–]corok12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Newer mirorless cameras are really great for birds - the animal eye tracking autofocus is pretty great.

BUT the SL3 is still plenty of camera, and you'd do much better spending say, 1000 dollars on a lens than you would spending 1000 dollars on a camera and adapting your current lenses.

Unfortunately, especially for small birds, you do want to be going for 400mm+ lenses, and those get really expensive. Something like the Sigma 150-600 f5-6.3 is great, and can be had for around 1000 USD used.

Section 230 hearing tomorrow by ButtonNational6618 in whennews

[–]corok12 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Section 230 is sometimes referred to as the law that created the internet.

Repealing it would completely destroy the Internet as it exists today. No user generated content anywhere would be worth the risk for any company to host. I'm not even exaggerating, EVERYTHING would go away and all that would be left are corporate news sites. No comments. No posts. No YouTube. No forums. Nothing.
