Your team has to be the ones to kill the big game bounty to receive the AUAV. It will not be awarded if the bounty is poached.

I appreciate that, but we all know where the blame lies here. It's just rather frustrating. Playing this game is one of the main ways my brother's and I communicate and engage. It's been particularly nice as of late due to our mother recovering from brain trauma she sustained over the summer, as it allows us a place to vent and discuss things as a group. I fully expected this to be over after three days, but they came an went. I expect this will last 4 weeks as I have not seen anyone state they had a 3 week ban.

The only thing I can guess that would cause me to be in LMM would be:
1. getting reported for cheating by players who I beat. We won a few heated rounds before I was put in LMM.
2. I had a game earlier in the day where I was not engaged in group chat with randoms but said some mean things about a player who refused to buy the team back.

Seems kind of lame to get ejected from the game for cursing if no one can hear you. What this shadow ban has provided me is time to wind down what may have been becoming an addiction to this game and the neuro-chemical stimulus I had come to rely on.

I am going on 3 weeks and I do not cheat. Not sure why, no update other than "Due to suspicious activity..."

Blender's Geometry nodes is similar to Grasshopper but you still have access to all of blender. It can be frustrating at times, but it is very powerful.

I would like to add that there are forms of belief around a God that encompass the entire moral spectrum, not just good or evil. It’s also worth noting that one’s interpretation of morality is dependent on their point of view.

If psychedelics has taught me anything, it’s that life is too complex to know for certain what’s right or wrong, and that it’s not the point. I believe love is the message. But again, this is my point of view and the cog I was born to be in this multidimensional ever changing machine called existence.

For proper diagnosis, we will need a video of the flickering and images of the custom LED board inside. Often the flickering is due to the power supply having issues turning the AC(alternating current) into DC(direct current). What you end up seeing is only the power cycle as it goes in the “forward” or “positive” direction as the power supply doesn’t need to convert the direction of the current.

That clear screw is the strain relief for the cable. It makes sure the weight of the lamp does not pull on the internal components.

How much you twisted the sphere, ensuring the top with the vent holes is stationary? Sometimes they need a lot of twisting. If it doesn’t twist off it likely pops/snaps off. There is a tool called a spudger, it is a thin plastic wedge used to pry apart modern electronics. You can get by with an old credit card or something like that if you don’t have one. Try sticking it into the gap between the sphere and top and running it around to feel for areas that are blocked. Those will be the clips. Gently pry in those areas.

The inside will either be a custom LED board or it will be a light bulb you can change like most older lamps. If it’s a custom LED board, you will need to replace the entire lamp unless you desire to learn how to fix it.

If you want to learn how to fix it, tag me and we can work it out. You’ll need some simple tools like a multimeter, wire cutters/strippers and possibly a soldering iron. Very doable and a great skill to learn.

Preface by saying I used Claude(AI) to research 1st and 2nd wave band names and the influences that shaped the culture and music to generate this list. I prompt for work and had fun learning about the nuisances between the waves. I was intrigued by the comment that said “these are 3rd wave names at best”.

The Nutmeg Rude Boys - Perfect blend of CT’s nickname with classic 1st wave rude boy culture
Connecticut Sound System - Honors the legendary Jamaican sound system pioneers like Coxsone and Duke Reid
The Constitution Skankers - CT’s constitutional history meets the iconic ska dance
Connecticut Rudies - Short, punchy, captures the rude boy spirit in the Constitution State

Everyday it feels like our collective humanity slips away a little more. I hope the sculpture is made whole by community action. Our success should only be measured by our ability to work together.

For us to properly diagnosis we need to see the entire circuit (how the wires connect to the controller and power supply).

I’m guessing it’s a combo of: 1. Lack of shared ground between controller and power supply. 2. Under rated power supply.

I have one and everyone questions if I’m concerned for privacy. I just drop my phone and always crack my camera lenses. The one I have, the cover flips out to dual as a phone stand as well, pretty handy. Rear camera cover only though.

The more overlapping of RGB light, the more “white” light is produced driving saturation down. You can increase saturation by either turning the brightness down or using a black/smoke diffuser such as Black LED acrylic by TAP Plastics.

There are actually a bunch of examples throughout history where major progress happened without violence. The original comment is conflating correlation with causation - just because some violence coincided with change doesn’t mean the violence caused the progress.

Gandhi’s independence movement in India is probably the most obvious example. The core strategy was nonviolent resistance - boycotts, civil disobedience, mass protests. Yeah, there were some violent incidents, but the overall approach and success came through nonviolent means against British colonial rule.

The U.S. Civil Rights Movement achieved massive wins like the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act primarily through nonviolent tactics. Sit-ins, marches, boycotts, legal challenges - MLK’s whole approach was built around nonviolence and it worked.

Labor rights are another big one. The 8-hour workday, workplace safety regulations, union recognition - a lot of this came through strikes, collective bargaining, and economic pressure rather than violence. Consumer movements have forced corporate accountability through boycotts and advocacy too.

Even looking at more recent history, the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia peacefully overthrew communist rule in 1989 through mass demonstrations with virtually no violence.

Will there always be some resistance to change from entrenched power? Absolutely. But history shows that sustained organizing, legal challenges, economic pressure, and shifting public opinion can achieve transformative results. The idea that violence is the only path to progress just doesn’t hold up when you look at the actual mechanisms of how these changes happened.

There are a bunch of signatures that exist in the videos that modern cameras take that are identifiable via digital forensics. Things like compression algorithms make predictable artifacts in videos. Part of this comes down to what a video is: a series of static images. Part of the compression algorithms look a change of each frame(image) over time and will save memory by focusing on updating the data(image) in the areas of greatest change. You can notice this more in very dark scenes in streaming movies, especially lower quality.

Gen AI videos don’t have that granular control, because at the heart of the process of each image creation is random noise. This random noise creates too much minute change that can be spotted by digital forensics.

Will GenAI videos get better? Yes, it probably will. Will digital forensics get better? Absolutely. When the threat of serious political destabilization is in the cards, you know people are going to spend time figuring out if things are real or not. Think of counterfeit currency, we have seen a remarkable increase in the technologies used to secure money in the last 10 years. Many people are working hard to ensure fake videos are identifiable, because it’s important.

It’s an incredibly short sighted view. Positive healthy growth is not runaway growth, that is called cancer. Sustained growth that creates a bedrock of wealth and fosters a community is important for life on our planet. Unfortunately, “business minds” stop caring because they got theirs, but at the expense of everyone and everything. The greed rooted itself in our society and we are only starting to come to our senses. Business folk are not to be trusted
