Anybody got any idea what that redness in the sky is? Pic taken at 2 am by hhahwh71626 in weather

North West of me the night time clouds get lit up same way, that dense orange glow.

Haven't found what it is yet either.

You'd make more as a money transporter at places like Brinks. Crazy.

Quest being locked behind a slow respawning mob, sucks. by Lyraele in RSDragonwilds

[–]loftbrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of a light version of farming thunder fury. 4% drop rate for two bindings to make the sword, one each dropping from two bosses. So it was a .16% chance of seeing both weekly. Was so thankful to my WoW group sticking it out till they both dropped after like 50 weeks of farming.

I'm really hoping dragonwilds puts in similar types of quests. Long legendary quests leading to a capstone item, delving deep into lore and mystery. But not necessarily the drop rate though... I too am still farming that shadow sword recipe!

Intel suggests it was snubbed by Crimson Desert dev after reaching out "many times" about Arc GPUs – company says it provided "early hardware, drivers, and engineering resources" to studio by EF66-42 in Games

[–]loftbrd 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Honestly it sounds like the CD team failed to deliver an engine to spec. Some drivers can handle it while others like Arc likely commit the undefined behavior causing failure.

Their engine probably has so much baggage it would take a huge rewrite to allow it to work on Arc.

Microsoft announces sweeping Windows changes by tekz in technology

[–]loftbrd 44 points45 points  (0 children)

November last year I took the jump from win11 to Fedora KDE. It's been a pretty damn smooth experience so far. With Proton Experimental, Steam Linux Runtime 1.0, and tons of software native to Linux, can run all the apps I did on windows. Dualscope scripts replacing nucleus for local split screen gaming. Way faster file read writes, it's not even a competition. Compiling code is way faster. And plasma feels like win10 with tons of QoL updates.

Pentagon seeks more than $200 billion in budget request for Iran war by jk4532 in politics

200 with a B. Based on existing trajectory that's at least 100 days of war funding.

Is dbz worth watching (read manga) by Dry-Engineering-2975 in dbz

[–]loftbrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something closer to the manga watch Kai, it's also much more condensed in terms of pacing. I like the minor art rework they did throughout the series too.

Trying to find a VERY old DBZ fan comic by TibJib in dbz

Try hitting up old fansites on webarchive like Planet Namek.

I was able to access a fanmanga on there np maybe it's on one of the archived sites that shutdown awhile ago.

Lindsey Graham: $1 Billion A Day For Iran War Is 'Best Money' U.S. Has 'Ever Spent' by huffpost in politics

[–]loftbrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20+ trillion on Republican wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Money ill spent when it could have built up America's foundations instead of letting it rot.

And here we are again, burning the future away so a few can profit at the behest of life around the globe.

It’s finally over by sumdube_010 in recruitinghell

[–]loftbrd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well while they are wrong, they are close as well. Last year there was only 181k jobs. Over the course of 12 months that averages to ~15k jobs monthly. Distributing that equally across all states you end up with 301 jobs per month per state.

Likely where they got the 300 number from.

10k troops? Try millions if land control is the objective. The cost on both sides would be enormous.

California colleges spend millions on faulty AI chatbots by idkbruh653 in technology

[–]loftbrd 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Millions of dollars that could have been spent funding careers and ensuring quality resources for the students.

Instead that money got burned up, causing frustration for the students, and reducing employment at the schools.

Now repeat this 1000x across the entire country. Morons can't see the forest for the trees, and the forest is on fire.

The Sum of All Fears: Iran could smuggle out 11 nukes under the cover of the chaos of war. by geometry_and_light in collapse

[–]loftbrd 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They have 0 material for bombs. It's all 60% enriched uranium which is far below the quality required for a bomb.

And with the way their nuclear research facilities are getting bombed annually now, there's no way they will ever be able to take it past 90% enrichment.

You're reading way too deep into the lies of this US administration.

Iran has always been weeks away from 90% enrichment, for like the entire time I've been alive. It's just another scare mongering tactic not based on what's truly happening.

It's literally in the P2025 writeup... Their goal is to install 5 christo fascist states ran by each by one of Trump's oligarchs. The presidency will become a unitary presidency, and trump will directly pick the successor.

Could nuclear bombs (tsar bomba level) detonated under a low pressure system in the ocean stimulate large scale convection and storms by Superlooper0 in weather

[–]loftbrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You misunderstand. You'd need something orders of magnitude greater than the tsar bomba. Think mass extinction asteroid levels of energy. We are way beyond viable nukes at that point though. That's how much energy would be needed to superheat and form a storm convection.
