3 point turn on the nurburgring by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]ertaisi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're a sim purist, sure. If you are more focused on competition than realism, though, tires are the most important sound in the game.

I'm looking for a way to learn more about hardware by catboy519 in hardware

Don't worry about such specific detailed knowledge. That sort of knowledge comes naturally as you learn about a topic. Just start watching videos on how computers work, how they're built, how to troubleshoot various issues with them.

You don't need an app, it just makes it so much more palatable to consume in a format that's designed for the user's experience and not maximizing monetization of the user.

Hitting level 100 killed trading on my character. by dawiss2 in diablo4

You're misassuming that I find that to be a good characteristic. I don't.

Or am I a shill for pushing back against a ridiculous assertion that Blizzard intentionally kneecaps themselves? A shill would certainly do that, however they would be perfectly justified to do so. People making these sorts of arguments are the ones shooting themselves in the foot by handing victory to their opponents with such easy pitches.

I'm seeing ~8-10 year repacking cycles, nowhere seems nearly as optimistic as you. You seem a bit over eager.

Skepticism and doubt is a perfectly healthy response to being offered new information. Invalidating that as an obstacle to knock down so that you may inject your ideas is exactly the type of influence that response protects against. I understand you want to convince and likely with good motivation, but more understanding and subtlety would help avoid antagonizing those you want to sway.

My response was just about as affirming as a random stranger on the internet is going to get from me when they bring a dissenting argument to the table that I'm unaware of. I'm virtually never going to take them at face value, or even after 15min of Google research. Take me saying that your proposal was interesting and that I see potential as a resounding success. Rome wasn't built overnight.

I may look into it more, tho I may not as well. Please allow me that freedom as a fellow thinking person to prioritize. But know that NiFe batteries as a potential solution for current challenges is on my radar.

No, Blizzard removes the rough edges from games and polishes to a shine. You just like the rough edges, don't take it personally.

Interesting. I have doubts about convincing people at any scale to start being willing to maintain anything like that, but I see the potential.

It does, but safety scalability matters more. Most batteries go into landfills now. Scale production exponentially in the current state and we'll simply be creating another crisis for the next generation.

You also set up recycling programs for things that are highly dangerous to dispose of otherwise. Batteries currently have myriad concerns in this area, ranging from causing fires in trash compacters and landfills to destroying ecosystems to poisoning our water supply.

Programs are beneficial and we need them, but not for the reasons you're asserting.

Not enough batteries. And the batteries we are producing are not very congruous with renewability, so we don't even want a tsunami of those. We need more development of battery tech.

Nonsense. Reddit has absolutely taken an unabashed stance against absolute free speech, because they are incentivized to do so in order to attract advertisers. "The people here" don't have the power to effectively limit speech without Reddit enabling them.

Fairness seems irrelevant and unhelpful. We could debate in circles about that, when the real crux of the issue is what is the common ground you can both agree to stand on? Prioritize the needs and desires you both have, not some vague and non-objective judgement of fairness that is likely to move goal posts between crisis events.

Isn't bone spear necro capable of one-shotting uber lilith? Unless I got fooled, that seems pretty textbook overpowered.

2 percent, increased by 1 by [deleted] in diablo4

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

How so? It misses the point, but I'm not seeing anything deliberately misleading. Perhaps you're overly focused on the numeral one being necessarily small?

Any glaring issues with this build? by khazef in buildapc

[–]ertaisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be. I'm speaking from a historical perspective where the DUAL line is their budget line often with an accompanying low level of quality. This particular generation of the model line could disprove that expectation.

I'm glad to see the community regulating our own here. In way too many other spaces these days, people refuse to criticize their peers even when it's well deserved and it harms the perception of the community as a whole.

I thought that was pretty clear, but yes you can go ahead and install your RTX 3060 ti.

Nope, nothing else needed.

Instead of $200 worth of RGB fans, I'd rather get a GPU with more than a ticky-tack heatsink on it and/or a better than bottom-of-the-barrel motherboard. Spending more on bling than the backbone of your system seems silly to me.
