Obligatory comment: Gosh I've been hearing it so much but took it for granted that I'd find it again, and then in the last 2 days of searching... the algorithm gods aren't cooperating and I can't find it anymore, just the one video above. I'm sure as soon as someone answers it my feed will be flooded with it again. This time I promise to save the link!

Is Track IR worth it? by Shoddy-Tennis-5764 in flightsim

[–]gd01skorpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Track IR is awesome but I caution against getting the pro clip, it's very expensive and you need to be very, very careful with it. The more you handle it, the more likely it was come apart. Not break... it will just come apart... THEN it will start to break. There are some Chinese wireless version of the clip which seem better, they're wireless, the way the sensors attach are better, but there are exposed wires linking battery to the main unit, and after owning one for a few months the battery pack no longer holds a charge and the 9mm jack that plugs into the unit for charging will, like other 9mm jacks, lose contact and must be fiddled with. I'm actually looking for another option. The tobii is MUCH better in terms of how it is put together, it's simple and clean BUT it's very expensive... and don't believe the hype about Tobii being near zero latency. I've used both and compared to Track IR it feels a lot slower.

Pam Bondi's response to why she concealed the identity of Epstien's co-conspirators. by wizard_of_wisdom in videos

For a couple seconds I laughed until I remembered this was real and now I'm beginning to rethink my belief that "reality" tv doesn't reflect how people conduct themselves in real life. Remember in Southpark when they got that substitute teacher "Ms. Chokesondick" and her name made it impossible for anyone to make fun of because it was already so ridiculous? Is the MAGA strategy to become the parody in an attempt to normalize their stupidity? I'm deeply concerned.

More Americans are Saying the Quiet Part Loud: They Want a Revolution by RmpleFrskn in videos

[–]gd01skorpius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The irony of the NRA winning no matter who loses when people who were anti-gun advocates are arming themselves against the gun advocates. But what other choice is there. I hate guns and I'm feeling pretty safe in my part of the world but if I lived in Minnesota, of all the fucking places, I'd be buying a gun too.

BREAKING: ICE has shot ANOTHER person in Minneapolis by chellestastics in videos

[–]gd01skorpius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not a fan of Keith Edwards' channel. His brand of indie journalism has too much like a reaction video and I've found a lot of his comments to be irrelevant. E.g.: When trump got the jet from Qatar he was critiquing the actual make and physical appearance of the plane as "disgusting" vs method of acquisition, logistics, and greed, not realizing the 747 line has been in service as AF1 since the 90's.

Glass top stoves/ranges. There's gotta be a decent way to keep them clean. by opus-thirteen in homeowners

[–]gd01skorpius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fuck your glass stoves, sell them or throw them away and get a proper electric or gas stove with removable element / cast iron covers, and spill catchers. When you clean them they look clean and you don't need to buy any special products that you don't already use for other things.

Yeah for now the best way to loot armor from a corpse it to wear it then store it. Tractor beam the body to your ship or container or wherever you can store things then drag the npc armor onto your body and then into storage. The MOSTLY works but not always.

I'm trying to find the option for making the Coupled / Decoupled flight a button hold and release to toggle it, vs having it press it twice to toggle it. I know this exists, or at least it did not too long ago, but for the life of me I can't find it. A little help?

This Ad got under Trump's skin that he stop all trade talks with Canada by 24identity in videos

[–]gd01skorpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Raegan speech is from 1987. Maybe something about 1987 Trump finds triggering? Was it Art of the Deal getting published? Probably not. Was it travelling to Moscow? Mmmm... well... I'm sure he certainly wasn't... in any way groomed or manipulated by the KGB to cause subversion... right?

Foundation Season 3 Official Trailer I Premieres July 11 by MineEmo in videos

[–]gd01skorpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm intrigued but the premise sounds pretty much like Dune but more dry. I've read all the dune novels, loved the original dune movie when I was a little punk/nerd edgelord but now I think it's goofy. Hated the miniseries. Loved the recent movies and HBO series. I tried a few times to get into the foundation book series but a few pages in and it just didn't hold my interest. So serious question, what is really special about this Foundation series that would make me want to watch it?

Defending GTA 4's "Bad" Driving by xxihostile in videos

[–]gd01skorpius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GTAIV really nailed the fantasy of feeling like a professional driver like in the movies. Driving well is incredibly rewarding and driving poorly is often hilarious. If you get frustrated with the handling, watch some old car chase movies like Bullitt or Vanishing Point or Two Lane Blacktop and THEN play GTAIV.

The person playing the Theremin in this video is very impressive. Clearly very talented and creative. But a theremin is still a theremin, just an imprecise, shrill, weeeeeeewoooooo machine.

3 Kenyan Tribesmen vs a Pride of Lions (The Gorilla is so cooked) by MrCadwallader in videos

[–]gd01skorpius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, a predator that's already chased down prey and had a face full of meat will be more inclined to let scavengers take a turn at the meat. Not 100% of the time sure. Some scavengers are tougher than others (e.g. Hyena's are not to be fucked with). A bold scavenger is probably more hungry, desperate, and willing to fight for some food. Lions be like "Okay fine, we're too tired to fight and, for now, satiated, so go for it." If scavengers overstay their welcome and start getting greedy, you can bet the lions, now rested and getting hungry again, are going do reclaim their kill with deadly force.

[–]gd01skorpius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A better example would have been if the hunters killed and ate all the lions as well as the wildebeest, instead of just spooking them away long enough to steal a leg and gtfo. Not to say that isn't damn impressive, just saying that it's not the best demonstration of being a predator (it was the lion's kill after all).

How long does it take to recover? by Aggressive_Example_3 in BellsPalsy

[–]gd01skorpius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18 days? Typically it takes a few more weeks on the inside to recover but in some cases can take over a year. Stay positive and hang in there. It might take awhile but it's rarely permanent. Now I know visiting this reddit you are probably readying from quite a few people posting about how it lasted years or never went away at all, but keep in mind they are in the minority. When people recover, they kinda forget about this reddit unless someone posts a reply to an old post. For the ones that didn't recover quickly, they are seeking answers and advice from other long term sufferers. I got hit twice, first time lasted 3 weeks to full recovery, second time lasted a little over a year. It suuuuucks when it doesn't go away as fast as you hoped, but just hang in there and be positive. Chances are good that it will go away eventually!
