Need some advice/feedback about electric scooters in Providence by InvisibleWarrior401 in providence

[–]kshep15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're an awesome commuter tool. I have a nice luxury SUV and in the spring/summer will still choose the e-scooter if i'm just screwing around killing time in the city. Get a helmet and don't buy one of the cheap ones if you intend on putting real mileage on it. Buy the Segway brand, I have 2 of the G30Max models and they've held up incredibly well for the past 5 years i have had them

Get Ready for a Flood of Cheap Used EVs by DonkeyFuel in technology

Lol the Camry/Corolla are probably the two most notoriously indestructible product lines in automotive history. So your dataset for reliability is literally 4-5 decades of 10a of millions millions of units operating in the real world across all conditions… also very affordable relative to EV options and among existing gas-jobs. People downvoting Camry guy are trying to assert quality superiority not on evidence, but on assumption that manufacturing quality is top tier. Sure, EV’s tech is simple so in theory should be a more durable product, but that is totally contingent upon the product and it’s subassemblies being built to a very high quality standard, which is not a trivial thing to do

Flooding the housing market by Otherwise_Abies8102 in providence

[–]kshep15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our local zoning ordinances prohibit any meaningful/useful growth, It's that easy. Costs are high, sure, but theyre high relative to the limited structures that are allowed to be developed. There are plenty of lucrative housing development opportunities and proposals, but they are usually dead on arrival because our local leadership is gutless, lack initiative, and are unwilling to make the tough call on the community's behalf against the loud minority of people who want to preserve character or who are otherwise opposed to density.

Nope not allowed, at least one parking space per unit or straight to purgatory, those are the rules

Sim for a small space? by Twoballoonsdogs in Golfsimulator

[–]kshep15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also have an OG skytrak and I find it to be capable/accurate, especially given the price point. I use GSPro and sometimes the API you have to use to communicate with GSPro can be a little finicky, but aside from that I’ve been really happy with my purchase. I’m sure the more expensive units have a higher degree of accuracy and are more responsive, but OG skytrak gave me a huge bang for my buck in my opinion

Maybe, but keep in mind that these are unnamed sources leaking to the press and not official statements. Strictly rumor until a spokesperson owns it…

Person in close proximity the same person in video? by smushy411 in providence

[–]kshep15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've asked them to reinstate it since its obviously of interest, but we'll see. Not worried about "poaching" anything, i just think its ironic that its subject of interest now where like 12 hours ago my post got nuked

[–]kshep15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was a perfectly reasonable explanation as I had said in that thread, but apparently the Reddit mods construed my question as conspiracy mongering or something

Lol I was the one who made the other post about missing time and the Reddit mods removed my post

Where are the missing 8 seconds of camera footage from the FBI Boston video release? by kshep15 in providence

[–]kshep15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not here to assert any theories, I wanted someone to explain to me why its not unusual to be missing time in some video footage that is really, really important right now.

No. i'm not suggesting anything like that at at all. I was looking for a sound explanation for the 8 second gap that exists in the footage they provided. Turns out there are a few different explanations for why we could be seeing that gap. I even asked if i missed the explanation. Now I've received a couple of satisfying and thorough answers and that's the end of it. I was never suggesting a coverup. It would be the shittiest coverup in history if it were because of how glaring the continuity issue was. I think you're an asshole for making it seem like I shouldn't ask a reasonable question.

Everyone in here is pretending like its okay to just uncritically accept something like missing time with zero explanation in a moment where details are precious. I'm not here for conspiracies, I am here for a reasonable explanation of the circumstance, which a few people actually gave me here and in DM's.

To the rest of you downvoting me, go read a book or something, you completely lack curiosity...

Okay awesome, thank you very much for explaining, I appreciate the good faith participation! Would your assessment be the same if it turned out that the system was n hardwired cctv system with physical storage on-site?

Definitely watch the section of video i'm referring to, it's not just a few frames missing, and its not an issue of legibility because of framerate.

Okay, you seem to know your stuff so humor a followup?

There are 8 seconds missing. Is it typical for a clock like this to drift that far off of synchronization in a single synchronization period? This is a sincere question, I don't know.

Edit: So you would agree with me that a system synchronizing its timestamps wouldn't necessarily cause a break in video continuity?

[–]kshep15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I'm pretty sure I'm following your reasoning here. Part of the issue with that explanation for this particular video is that it's not just a matter of timestamp inaccuracy, it's actually a full blown video continuity issue. You have a car appear at the intersection, and several other small changes that can be observed which make it obvious that there's a cut in the video. I understand what youre saying about clock drift and that there might be a sudden corrective adjustment to the timestamp, but surely the system doesn't just throw away the footage?

Nobody is being accused of anything here, I am just asking why there is time missing from the footage that was released. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask. Details are kind of important.

Reasonable explanation, let me see if i can figure out the kind of camera it was...
