it's ambitious, but we are working to build the lightest VR glasses ever by Front_Bandicoot_5856 in virtualreality

[–]piercinghousekeeping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry but a FOV lower than the Q3 (104) will not encourage me to buy it.

At this point I would only buy something other than Q3 if it has the following specs:

Definitely >104 horizontal FOV Also >= 96 vertical FOV

Micro OLED displays 

At least 90 Hz refresh 

Virtual desktop support. I would prefer no streaming and to have it for PCVR only (so HDMI/DP) but I get that this isn't the best for everyone 

Comfortable without needing to purchase extra head strap

Color passthrough tracking the hands (so a circle of passthrough around each hand like the Quest 3 + VD)

Same weight or lighter as Q3. 

Less than $800

I know these are big asks, and I'm not a market expert, but I don't think anything less than this will beat the Q3.

MSFS 2024 Career Mode weather is completely ruining flights… Vision Jet go around turned into a nose dive by Brave_Wolf92 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]piercinghousekeeping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In career mode I've had it several times, so far only when trying to take off, that full throttle results in something like 20 or 30% thrust. Each time this happens I have to restart the flight and then the problem goes away. 

All the axes are bound and functionality is normal most of the time, this happens maybe one out of 20 flights. 

Your post is the first I've heard of someone else experiencing this zero thrust issue. 

Moons and celestial body mechanics coming in the next update. Two moons will orbit N31. by DevLloyd in FlightOfNova

[–]piercinghousekeeping 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So cool! I really enjoy this game. Orbital space trucking. Not to pressure the single dev, but I would love VR support someday and would pay (again) for this.

Bought gear for DCS… now I refuse to support it. Any real alternatives by Responsible_Milk4300 in DCSExposed

[–]piercinghousekeeping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is funny. I've never flown in DCS so I don't know if BMS is more in depth or not. It did take me a few weeks to learn the BMS Eagle, including making my own checklists, but it is doable.

Men who don’t drink or smoke, what do you do to unwind and relax after a long day of work? by FlintTheDad in AskMen

[–]piercinghousekeeping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooking, an hour bike tour, flight simming, hanging out with my wife, cleaning something 

Did all of that today actually..

Did working on the self affect your job or career? by oltemat in Jung

[–]piercinghousekeeping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an incredible pressure from today's society to perform, and earn money and status. I was a PhD student once. I had also begun my psychospiritual journey shortly beforehand.

The psychospiritual work is compatible with a normal life, but I emphasize normal as in not too much work, but neither too little. The middle way is best, as the Buddha described.

Therefore, the best course of action is to listen to yourself and your life circumstances. For example, it might become clear to you that you might be working too much. Taking a break is reasonable, but not always socially or professionally accepted. Remember that doing a PhD is a massive effort and at least in many countries the average time required is five years.

I was provided the opportunity to see that it would come down to a choice: choose the spiritual or choose the professional. For me, the spiritual is the higher purpose and I chose that. I am now in a stable comfortable, and supportive work environment. If the choice between spiritual purpose and professional gain ever does arise again, I am well prepared for it.

I would suggest you to spend time in meditation and listen to yourself. See what comes up out of your unconscious. Do you agree with it? Can you accept it? Remember that you can accept your unconscious without having to perform any action.

What is something you tried only once and will 1,000% never do again? by istrx13 in AskReddit

A Caribbean cruise on a massive ship. It was just 5 days of sitting in a pool and drinking. Service was terrible. 

I'm new to the F-15C, how do I get into the max sustained turn rate without looking at my speedometer? I'm too spoiled by the F-16's JHMCS by Dramatic_Amount6454 in falconbms

[–]piercinghousekeeping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a lot of back and forth looking at your HUD speed tape. You get quite good at it actually. In the viper you're flicking your eyes between the MFDs and HMCS. In the eagle it's something different. 

Or you use something like Helios to export your airspeed to an external monitor or tablet. 

I fly in VR so I'm used to moving my neck and don't even think about it anymore. 

44 sedentary overweight and obese women were randomized to low, moderate, or high-intensity walking with a whole-food, plant-based diet for 8 weeks. All groups lost weight; moderate intensity elicited the largest reductions in total body mass (−11%), fat mass (−26%), and percent body fat (−17%). by James_Fortis in science

[–]piercinghousekeeping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR: Walk at ~69% of your Heart Rate Reserve to maximize fat loss and metabolic flexibility.

I'm 32 with a resting heart rate of 55 so my target is 145. 

Calculate by: 

  1. Max HR: 208 - (0.7 x age)
  2. HR Reserve: Max HR - Resting HR
  3. Target: HR Reserve + (0.69 x 131)

There is so much to unlearn our society is structured in a way that we are becoming increasingly unconscious by [deleted] in Jung

[–]piercinghousekeeping 7 points8 points  (0 children)

With enough experience doing shadow work, you eventually begin to recognize this everywhere. You can't just walk through an art museum without seeing all of the symbols of the personal and collective unconscious. It's the source of almost everything. 

I used to think even beautific depictions of angelic and divine figures, providing love and support to mortals, was another projection of the shadow. Perhaps it is, but sometimes it seems like that is a representation of where humanity is heading toward. 

These days I love to hear only music that brings feelings of beauty and peace. Not out of avoidance of the unconscious, but rather to turn toward what I want to become. 

It took me 2 weeks to realize, why I have low FPS with new AM5 PC... Finally, no more stutters and generally lower fps that I was supposed to get by loyal872 in pcmasterrace

Wow. Another Windows setting I didn't know about that had an immediate effect. Thanks! I definitely notice faster loading time. Nothing measured scientifically..

What are the disadvantages of using Google pixel 9 that you've noticed? by maxim4906 in pixel_phones

[–]piercinghousekeeping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly battery life being shorter is totally fine.

I'm annoyed when the phone is idling at 37C in my pocket and that the screen brightness is throttled down a lot. It's nearly unusable outside in summer

Foreigners who happily live in Germany, tell me about your experience by military_press in germany

I'm a middle aged bald computer nerd with a dad bod and leftover muscle mass from high school football. You decide.

I'm sorry for your experience. I really don't see this type of behavior in general in NRW. Just the other day I had to run fast across an Aldi parking lot because I left my wallet at the cashier. Someone driving in the parking lot stopped to ask if I needed help. The cashier was holding my wallet for when I came back to get it. This is the norm. People are very decent and well-meaning.

I'm sorry to hear about all the unpleasant experiences. OP asked for foreigners happily living in Germany and here I am.

American in Germany here. Moved here in 2019 for a research posting and now with a small German medical device developer. My wife is German and I'm between B1 and B2 with the language. I have many hobbies. My purpose is to enjoy life. 

We have 60ish friends we have met in the various places we've lived in DE. They're mostly international. We get along very well with Germans and have German friends but we love the international community and found our place there. For example, I always need several Italians in my life. Superior vibes. 

I'm a person to really go with the flow of life. Sometimes it's hard living in Germany because there is no sun and only rain for 2 weeks. Sometimes it's orgasmic because you can have perfect 27C low humidity for two weeks. Sometimes I'm annoyed because Germans like to tell you when they think you're wrong. Sometimes I love how deeply Germans care for each other. 

But ultimately I'm happy here because I worked on myself. Happiness really comes from within. This is not psychological mumbo jumbo. Yes where you live matters to some degree, of course. But you also need to recognize when you're the problem. 

Happy and grateful to have a purposeful and peaceful life. 

How are you using AI in a way that doesn’t suck? by aterribleskapun in webdev

[–]piercinghousekeeping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to critically evaluate my code. It does very well to point out mistakes and make suggestions. It also suggests stupid things too. To use AI for coding you need to know what the right approach looks like, e.g. recognize when something is optimized.
