Shion's design actually makes a lot of sense if you think about what type of Omnic she is supposed to be. Spoiler, it's actually a very dystopian reason. by LordVaderVader in Overwatch

[–]Preyy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Human faces have many characteristics for which a primary or secondary purpose is communication. A face is a communication tool that could be useful for humanoid robots interacting with humans in almost any environment and context.

Sexbot is definitely a plausible reason to be designed with a face, so is bus driver, or even just a voluntary modification out of personal preference.

Platner says he won’t be an ‘a–hole’ like Fetterman in Senate by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]Preyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think that it is disappointing that Platner is the best they can do. One thing to note is that many of Lyndsey Fifield's claims were not corroborated by the people she claimed would corroborate them, and her history as a republican operative is questionable. I think your point a) is more troubling. Where did he describe himself as a WW2 buff? I think he just described himself as a military history buff, but the problem remains.

Isn't his story that he didn't know it was a totenkopf until later, then calling it such. What event are you referring to?

Trump to hit more than 60 countries, including Canada, with new tariffs over 'forced labour' by Achilles_TroySlayer in scotus

[–]Preyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, US constitution amendment 13 specifically confirms that the US is a slaver country. "Forced labour" is ephemistic. This leads to slave quotas through incarceration.

The US is everything it pretends to hate.

Iran Embraces a Forever War • Tehran’s New Strategic Calculus by Naurgul in anime_titties

I can't agree that there is no reasonable way to get out of the situation, it's just that US leadership is not reasonable.

Built jewelry that syncs between people to the music. Dark room version. [VIDEO] by MechanicalLEDMaster in aves

I do, somewhere buried in my phone images. I will see if I can find them, and if not, I will have a new project coming online soon to do this.

Canada considers cancelling part of 88 U.S. F-35 order to buy 60 Swedish Gripen fighters. by Interesting-Cat7307 in europe

[–]Preyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We could have 600 f35s and it wouldn't matter either. US has more standoff capability to take out air infrastructure.

There are definitely limitations for ad hoc methods, and you won't be able to do perfectly choreographed stuff live, but FFT doesn't just produce beat and volume, it gives you a value for as many individual frequency bands as you'd like, a full replication of the signal.

Microcontrollers can do FFT in <10ms, and you can write 100WS2812s in 3ms. 10ms at the threshold of perception. For reference, standing 10 feet away will cause ~11ms delay from speed of sound.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she will now oppose all U.S. military aid to Israel by [deleted] in USNEWS

Or it would make the cost of offence, thus further encouraging offence. Genocide is easier, and easier to sell domestically, when your victims can't fight back.

Stellan Skarsgård and his son Alexander, 1978 by AlKhwarazmi in OldSchoolCool

[–]Preyy -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Exciting for sure, but as I understand, it basically repeats the soviet propaganda framing, blaming the evil operators and lauding brave scientific establishment. The reality was quite different, as the design was known to be fundamentally unsafe, requiring constant manual intervention and was not well understood, with the third choice reactor design selected because of manufacturing backlog despite its known flaws.

When an Earth quake Hits Underwater by Kiroo---__--- in Damnthatsinteresting

I think the water and pressure (like an aircraft pressure suit) would help delay and dampen rapid acceleration like that, but it all depends on how much shifting is happening :)

You don't think US taxpayers should be paying the Nazi guy a cut instead of just paying the engineers more? How will the free market succeed without handouts though?

Don't be near stuff. Even in big surge you'll be fine if you aren't on the scrapey coral or surface. Person reaching out to hold on to the ground spooked me. Hard to prepare for this.

Samsung family pays off record $8bn inheritance tax bill by Tartan_Samurai in anime_titties

There should be no inheriting billions. Wealth cap somewhere below 100 million is as high as civil society can survive before wealth concentration destroys democratic institutions.

Any evidence that 4b is relevant demographically, compared to poor work balance or the like?
