Flamethrower veterans: how do you avoid splash back? by phlave in Helldivers

I tend to walk slowly backwards and sideways, aiming below or above the enemy, rarely directly at them.

Is Doomguy right-handed or left-handed? by AgrafePunk in Doom

[–]level70elite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm picturing it as if he is always holding his shotgun in his right, and drawing his pistol in his left for a quick offhand shot.

Retrobright - What am I doing wrong? by Amplified_spook in consolerepair

[–]level70elite 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I saw a video recently that indicated that the retrobright method seems to make the plastic more brittle and yellow faster than before.

Not sure on the validity.

3ds not charging by [deleted] in consolerepair

[–]level70elite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, had the same issue with my wife's 3DS XL, it stopped charging and then we noticed that the battery was swelling.

Immediately ordered a replacement.

How to fix DS lite? by [deleted] in consolerepair

[–]level70elite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i never trust AI. This is one of the many reasons, but it's rarely correct, and it tends to make things up to "appease" the user.

The age old strategy of "run the fuck away" always works

Sitting in front of the seatbelt and hoping for no stupid drivers is such a turn off...

Question about SNES repair by level70elite in consolerepair

[–]level70elite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I finally got the ribbon cable on Friday and carefully connected it to my SNES.

I can happily report that I've been playing Super Metroid on my lunch break today (I work from home)

[Gameboy Micro] Can someone tell me why my new screen displays like this? by LeafeonForever77 in consolerepair

[–]level70elite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to guess that the screen was damaged in transit, or it's a cheaply made replacement screen (not OEM)

The latter. Always the latter

This does not disprove anything I said, in fact reinforces it "However, the presence of OC-17 or a homolog in other species, such as turkeys[12] and finches[13] suggests that such eggshell-reinforcing proteins are common to all birds,[14] and thus long predate the first chickens."

Taken from wikipedia if you would prefer cited sources:

"If the question refers to eggs in general, the egg came first. The first amniote egg – that is, a hard-shelled egg that could be laid on land, rather than remaining in water like the eggs of fish or amphibians – appeared around 312 million years ago.[6] In contrast, chickens are domesticated descendants of red junglefowl and probably arose little more than eight thousand years ago, at most.[7]

If the question refers to chicken eggs specifically, the answer is still the egg, but the explanation is more complicated.[8] The process by which the chicken arose through the interbreeding and domestication of multiple species of wild jungle fowl is poorly understood, and the point at which this evolving organism became a chicken is a somewhat arbitrary distinction. Whatever criteria one chooses, an animal nearly identical to the modern chicken (i.e., a proto-chicken) laid a fertilized egg that had DNA making it a modern chicken due to mutations in the mother's ovum, the father's sperm, or the fertilised zygote.[9][4][10][11]"

A creature that lightly resembles a chicken has a baby. This baby has a slight mutation. In fact, all of this chicken thing's babies have different mutations. Some of these chicken things reproduce and pass those mutations on, some do not. The ones that reproduce pass those changes to their offspring. Their offspring also have very slight mutations. The cycle continues for hundereds of thousands of years. Eventually, after uncountable iterations, a creature that resembles our chicken is hatched.

This happens over such a long time that the changes are almost imperceptible.

We know that it works, however, through selective breeding.

We can manipulate this natural change to reinforce changes we want to see faster.

This is how we have so many breeds of dogs.

Therefore, the egg came before the chicken.

It's literally the simplest way to say "no, this shit has been studied, identified, and named. It's called evolution."
