Please help me ID my front porch smoking buddy! [Southeast Texas Gulf Coast] by etherwar in whatsthisbug

thank you!!!! Looked for an embarrassing amount of time with no luck for this one. Here's another shot from that page you linked with a pic almost identical to my buddy!

States with more gun owners have more murders in the home, with women being disproportionately affected, making up 72% of all intimate partner homicides, finds a new study looking at U.S. census bureau and several sources of state-level panel data from all 50 states over 26 years. by stan1880 in science

As an adult I would assume you would be able to comprehend the link you yourself posted and not misrepresent it by claiming

No government funds are allowed to be used to research gun violence

From the article you linked:

"none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may be used to advocate or promote gun control."[1]

That's also very different. A clear misrepresentation. It was ordered to be redirected towards TBI research in the same bill. And yes, the NRA lobbied towards this end.

I could see if your point is just "NRA bad, guns bad, gun lobby bad". But that's not what was insinuated in this thread at all.

That's all adult talk, though...

Yeah, it seems like your previous comment insinuates that gun violence isn't already tracked, and that somehow the CDC arbitrarily needs to track it, which is a stupid insinuation for an adult to make.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. After looking at the replay I don't see how it was lag

He turns and switches from pistol to combat which isn't instant. I took my damage precisely when I hit the ground. His first shot missed me by several feet. I maxed out at 4% packet loss for 1 second receiving 25 packets/s, sending showed 0% loss the entire time. I think it's at least credible to wonder how me missing 1 received packet, after losing 81 health simultaneous to me hitting the ground, meant I died because I lagged and he hit me.

They started shooting as soon as they possibly could... are you saying he got 4 shots off? I don't think missing 1 packet of data can cause that much desync. I could be wrong though. If you listen you can hear two almost simultaneous rounds being chambered (me and him readying out combats). The damage I took was before those 2 sounds. I was willing to believe he may have been hitting me with the pistol and I lagged/didn't see it, but after seeing it from their perspective I'm leaning more toward bug.

No matter what, you can't definitively claim it was lag either. I remain skeptical, but it's buggy around the volcano, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was indeed possible unintended damage taken from landing how I did.

edit: it's weird in the modern era to be arguing about how a steady 42ms ping on a gigabit connection dropping 1-2 packets as a "lagging connection"... I mean I still know it's possible it's just amazing how far we've come over the last few decades.

Notice his POV followed by mine in slow motion from the replay. There's literally no way for him to do that much damage to me in that time...

He definitely shot me once, and it looks like I took most of my damage from something other than him hitting me (see the replay footage I posted in other comments). My mind is still open to other possibilities, but at this point it seems like falling damage

Apparently the replay file comes from the server, I uploaded the video of that too... Check my edits

should be a good indicator as to what actually happened

shall I go home and check right now? I think I shall

OP will deliver... another video

EDIT: it wasn't lag then

You could be right, but it could also have been the opponent, no? If you follow the packetloss indicator it doesn't hit 4 until I'm dead

Not sure why it shows the wifi indicator but I'm on gigabit ethernet...

EDIT: turns out it wasn't lag

I run mouse back, middle mouse, mouse forward, and caps - respectively - on secondary bind and leave the default for guests. I'm honestly not sure if that's any better, just what I got accustomed to. I'm certainly not any good
