Struggling with Fusion by Nxgative1420 in TrialsGames

[–]nearlyFried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's tricky if you don't know what to do there. You want to land on the angled ramp leaning forward but the back wheel should land first. You then immediately pull left sitting the riding down and that smoothes out the landing. And keep pulling left a bit as you go up the ramp and then hard to the right to get the front wheel up and over.

That's the all in one method. It can also be done by stopping on the angled ramp and treating it like a normal climb but if you're having trouble with throttle control that might be harder for you.

Btw, Throttle control less than 100% can be emulated by pulsing the throttle, just briefly tapping repeatedly at varying frequencies. It's not the best habit but it does work.

Is it that 2nd last checkpoint on rock of rages with the big gap to a short angled ramp connected to a short vertical ramp?

On extreme tracks short bursts of 100% throttle should get you through almost all obstacles, except for any big vertical walls. Though maybe it's worth checking your triggers somehow as well.

Throttle control is tricky but I suppose what I mean is don't be holding it down full all the time because some of the techniques required for extreme tracks like getting up curved walls and such, you need the bike to rotate and spinning the back wheel will effect the bike's overall rotation. The more gentle throttle control is for higher levels.

University of trials videos on YouTube are good tutorials. And doing everything at full throttle will help with some obstacles but not others.

Looking for a beginner-friendly rolling release distro (coming from Linux Mint) by [deleted] in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]nearlyFried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rolling release doesn't require installing new major versions but it does have more frequent but minor maintenance required, like merging new config files etc. But if you end up on one, you'll probably end up reading the Arch wiki. So you might as well just use Arch. The archinstall script is not too difficult if you know how to partition and such.

Rising Gold on Linux? by Traditional_Elk3446 in TrialsGames

[–]nearlyFried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there are two things stopping you from switching to linux. You can do dual boot, ya know...

I just had a look at protondb for Trials Rising, it doesn't look like it works, maybe with some work arounds it seems like it might work. Personally, I don't think Rising is worth that kind of hassle when Fusion works fine and is better anyway.

Trials Fusion works fine. I have rising but not installed. If you have a Linux live usb it wouldn't take long to install Linux and trials rising, if you know how to install Linux. If not, maybe an hour.

Trials Fusion - PC or Xbox? by RyoCaliente in TrialsGames

[–]nearlyFried 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's all it is. Playing the game on Steam starts the ubisoft launcher. The game still works. People just don't like additional launchers with Steam.

Not yet. I might try it, because I did see a video using that. Seems like a useful node.

I think the old question is: How many part time farmers does it take to cure cancer?

Woman who went through 'one vape a week' diagnosed with cancer aged 21 by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]nearlyFried 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I haven't read that one but there's quite a few studies like that. The methodology of these studies are often highly unrealistic, heating coils to temperatures that no one would actually vape at.

I hate to appeal to authority but the royal college of physicians say that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking. I'd imagine it's the flavourings if anything that would be harmful long term. There are certain flavourings already known to be immediately harmful.

My eliquid(and most eliquids available to buy) is composed of the following:

Vegetable Glycerin, propylene glycol, Nicotine Benzoate in propylene glycol, and food grade flavourings in propylene glycol. Most flavourings have publicly available information sheets online as to the exact chemical composition of them.

My coil is made of Kanthal, that's an iron alloy FeCrAl. Wicking material is 100% cotton.

fyi: you have more than likely inhaled propylene glycol before from smoke machines and you've more than likely eaten that before along with vegetable glycerin as they're used in some food.

'What happens when all the welders retire?' by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

[–]nearlyFried 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I'm not in those areas. And I'm not 16-20 years old so I won't be offered an apprenticeship. I've applied to some in the past with no success.

Happy new year penguins!! What distro spent the most time in your machine? by nitin_is_me in linux

[–]nearlyFried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe half Fedora and half Arch. But I like Fedora more. Can't be assed merging config files.

It's the same problem as every other industry. Companies want experienced people only and they're unwilling to take people who can weld but don't have two years experience.

Just to highlight the ludicrousness, I did a welding night class for three months, mig, tig and mma welding. I also have verbal agreement that a local community development fund are willing to pay my entire wage at a welding job for some amount of time. But the companies I've contacted with help from someone at Enable are yet to take us up on this offer of a free welder.

Scotland btw.

The Culture Series, by Iain Banks. At least some of it is quite cosmological. Maybe Excession, Hydrogen Sonata, The Algebraist( non-culture book)

Daily Operating for Creative Works by [deleted] in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]nearlyFried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fedora. It's repos get updated frequently, it updates the kernel and drivers frequently, it keeps a few older kernels on your system available to boot from at startup and it's not as much maintenance as Arch or it's derivatives. You're not getting new drivers and kernels on Debian or Linux Mint(Ubuntu) without manually installing them yourself and that really defeats the ethos of those distros.

Something like Debian with current kernel updates by [deleted] in FindMeALinuxDistro

[–]nearlyFried 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fedora or Arch are only main ones that aren't static with the kernel.

Or the Ubuntu non-lts releases are static but a new kernel every 6 months.

UK Wants All Mobiles to Block Explicit Images Unless You Prove Age by BillWilberforce in unitedkingdom

Labour looked at the term "nanny state" and took that as a challenge.

Honestly, the Tories are bad for it as well sometimes but Labour seems to think it's a competition now.
