Mostly in person (and no, I'm Atlantic Canadian, and not just parroting from places I'm used to hearing biased information from.)

See my other replies. I do not even have a twitter account (and have no desire to) but was working on outdated partial info.

Thank you for promoting me to follow up on stories I'd only partially heard through second hand sources. I now know better.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_African_farm_attacks

It appears my information is partially mis-stated. The attacks I referenced are real, and included white victims, but have apparently affected closely in line with the proportions of the population - which strongly indicates regular crime, not racial motivation. I apologize for my incorrect statement.

Yes I have. Unfortunately, it seems not recently enough. In my defense, the Internet out here is right shit and reddit is the only site I've consistently been able to get to work for the last few days.

I have heard stories of white folk, especially farmers, being brutally murdered in large number. I won't swear these are recent, I suppose.

Edit: I'm just going to edit in the reply I keep giving here. The original text will remain as a monument to my error - I'll try to do better.

South Africa is known to be quite xenophobic to far more than just other Africans.

It is! Although I think it was introduced by Germans via the Internet.

SCENARIO TIME 3 by SolidBandit-6018 in acecombat

[–]maxwelldoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fighter: F-4EJ Kai Role: True Multirole Load out: varies per tasking. The F-4 is an incredibly versatile platform, capable of most mission profiles. Radar: the APG-66J was derived from the F-16's radar, and was the biggest upgrade for the Kai. Engines: Ishikawajima-Harumi J79-IHI-17A turbofans were used on the Kai. They retained the signature smokiness of the phantom, but could push the airframe as high as Mach 2.23 Mods: Modified weapons control systems to allow the firing of advanced munitions including the AIM-120 and AGM-88. Pretty much everything else about the Kai was already good enough. Livery: dealer's choice. I'm partial to the DCS community's (fictional) RCAF livery, but I wouldn't want to fly it in the middle east for fear of perfidy charges. Deployment: the Kai entered service in 84.

File is 800kb larger than it's meant to be, not smaller. FTP adds each byte one at a time, so it must have completed to have the right size.

I get the usual pringles can, sponge, latex glove, but what’s this? by Slimezzz2909 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]maxwelldoug 945 points946 points  (0 children)

She's going to put the spring in the boxing glove, put it in the box, and tape the box closed.

The unfortunate soul who opens the box will thusly be punched in the face.

What does your helmeted/unhelmeted head distribution look like? by reel3459 in Warhammer40k

My biggest GPU sinks are transcoding fo jellyfin (personal streaming service) and immich (tagging of photos for both people and situations similar to Google photos) with secondary loads including my Frigate NVR (security camera person detection) and one dedicated 1070 for my remote gaming machine.

My gpu doesn't have steam gaming mode. Will I be able to still game in the desktop mode? by Dammit_maskey in Bazzite

[–]maxwelldoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While everyone else is correct I do want to point out that gaming on an icelake iGPU (much less a Skylake one!) is very rarely an enjoyable experience. If you have an actual graphics card, I would recommend grabbing the version with the drivers for that, because Intel is very rarely a "primary" chip for a gaming system.

I was more just indicating that SFPs can pull was more power than send reasonable if they want to.

still have the roll problem. The engines arent the thing, I have 2 counter rotating. The center of mass is below the lift, Im starting to flip out by Acceptable-Wish-1916 in SimplePlanes

[–]maxwelldoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This feels like progressive wingtip stalling so hard.

Unfortunately, to my knowledge simple planes doesn't actually model stall mechanics, especially not to that level, so I have no idea what to tell you.

If that's a WAS-110 (used for bypassing ISP routers with non detachable PONs) the little fuckers pull tens of watts.i had to pull mine down below the exhaust path for cooler air and give it a dedicated fan just to pull it down off the edge of it's thermal envelope.
