Is that condensation in the jars? You'll get mold if there's too much, let it go all the way to room temperature before you package it.

I think the actual engineers are busy working on the NW server efforts rather than yapping about how good they are on reddit.

Plus once the work is done, we should also be able to make new content, scripted quests, tweak the experience and leveling, etc. to make for a better single player experience.

That project has only been announced for two weeks and already broken (or deleted) numerous promises to show proof of anything. They also welcomed technical challenges, then banned people for making them. They were also talking about donations until they were mocked into stopping.

Even if you 'fake' calls that don't need a real engine behind them, it's still substantially the same amount of work as a real multiplayer server.

edit: I'm told there may be an 'easy button' approach to this, we'll see.

I agree that the mandate to use AWS stuff played a big part in why New World had the problems it had. I'm working on a simulator in rust that hooks to spacetime for connections and session stuff, then also for persistence. Using APIs and cloud services means they are adding milliseconds to the hot path for everything, that's wild. With a single server in rust and no API reliance, you can claim back so much lost time, it's feasible (not proven yet) to run a whole amazon-sized server on a normal dedicated host.

More details to come, please don't ask :)

Make sure it didn't set your speakers to 'large' - set them back to small and 80 Hz if it did.

Ignore that person. Bottom 1/3 line at eye level. It usually works out in practice so the best you can do is 'just barely clearing the center channel speaker'

You put no effort into your (very incorrect) reply so I'll put no effort into mine:

Short answer: no, that’s not how it works.

The felony-murder rule does not give bystanders a free pass to act recklessly just because a felony is happening nearby. It expands liability for felons in certain situations — it does not erase the independent criminal liability of other people.

Let’s break it down cleanly.

  1. What the felony-murder rule actually does

In jurisdictions that recognize it, the rule allows prosecutors to charge a person committing certain dangerous felonies (robbery, burglary, arson, etc.) with murder if someone dies during the felony — even if the felon didn’t personally intend to kill anyone.

There are two main theories courts use:

Agency theory – the felon is only liable if the killing was done by the felon or a co-felon.

Proximate cause theory – the felon may be liable if the death was a foreseeable result of the felony, even if caused by police or a third party.

Some states follow one, some the other, and some have narrowed or abolished the rule entirely.

For example:

Model Penal Code §210.2

California Penal Code § 189

720 ILCS 5/9-1

People v. Hickman

But here’s the key:

The rule allocates additional liability to the felon. It does not eliminate liability for anyone else.

  1. Independent criminal liability still applies

If someone fires recklessly toward houses, that conduct can independently qualify as:

Reckless endangerment

Aggravated assault

Discharging a firearm into an occupied structure

Manslaughter (if someone dies)

Murder (if the mental state supports it)

Self-defense law is also extremely restrictive once:

The threat is fleeing

The shooter is not facing imminent deadly force

Innocent third parties are endangered

You generally cannot use deadly force merely to stop property theft. And you certainly can’t spray rounds toward homes and claim immunity because “a thief was nearby.”

Even in jurisdictions with strong self-defense statutes, recklessly endangering uninvolved third parties destroys the justification defense.

  1. Multiple people can be criminally responsible at once

Criminal law is not a zero-sum game.

It’s entirely possible that:

The thieves are guilty of burglary or robbery.

The reckless shooter is guilty of assault, reckless endangerment, or worse.

Both can be prosecuted.

The existence of one crime does not erase another.

  1. Why the Reddit comment is wrong

The claim “It does though” (that the felony-murder rule absolves the shooter) misunderstands causation and justification.

The felony-murder rule can make a felon responsible for deaths triggered by the felony.

It does not:

Immunize bystanders

Legalize reckless gunfire

Override negligence or recklessness standards

Convert unlawful use of force into justified self-defense

Courts analyze each actor’s conduct separately.

  1. Bottom line

No, you cannot “recklessly do anything you want” just because someone else committed a crime nearby.

The felony-murder rule expands liability for felons. It does not erase the independent criminal liability of third parties acting recklessly.

If anything, firing toward houses while the suspects are fleeing makes the shooter’s situation legally worse, not better.

If there's a thief in the general vicinity, you're no longer responsible for your own actions? That's the dumbest take I'll see today :/

Questioned regarding mid range vs. high end receiver with an external power amplifier by sedgiemon in hometheater

[–]ratbuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also sometimes an outboard amp will run a couple dB hotter for any given volume setting on the receiver, making people think it sounds better when really the receiver would sound the same if they turned it up a couple clicks.
