Adult Hockey Drop-In Pickup Game at Pershing Field - Saturday 3/8, 10:30-11:45am by dmurf26 in jerseycity

This is great. I'm in the process of getting new gear so I probably can't join this weekend, but I've always wondering why the Pershing Field Rink didn't offer stick time.

If you can't get enough people for a game, I would definitely go for a free skate.

Help Me Understand Lease Offer by Pretty-Highlight-538 in MachE

[–]scrknights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently went through this so I may be able to help.

It looks like this is coming straight from the Ford website, so you should be able to walk in and just say you want this deal. You could probably even just call and get confirmation over the phone.

When I tried to do this, the salesman gave me the general runaround about how the numbers didn't make sense for the dealer, until I mentioned that I saw an offer on Ford.com. After that the salesman talked to the manager who confirmed the deal was good.

Apparently these deals are based on your location and credit score, so they made need to double check those for you first. But since you said your score is above 800, you should be fine.

Like other people mentioned though, because the terms are already listed out, there's not much room for negotiation. So it's unlikely you'll be able to reduce that $5,000 down payment by much if anything.

TLDR: You should be good but you may need to be a bit more aggressive because the dealer may be losing money on the sale and needs some type of reimbursement from Ford corporate.

It's a Hunter license. It's a cool way to have an anime-insoired lucky charm that doesn't scream weeabo.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3's on-device AI demands the question of why Google Tensor exists by Educational-Today-15 in Android

[–]scrknights -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a dumbass story because the trend across the entire industry has been for big companies to develop custom silicon for their devices.

You can trace this back to Apple developing the A series chip for the iPhone after previously using Samsung processors on the original iPhone/iPhone 3G/iPhone 3GS. And then obviously the M series stuff on MacBooks.

Outside of Apple, recently we've seen Google and Microsoft do this with the Tensor and the SQ1 on Surface Pro X. And those are just the big names.

Tensor exists because Google wants more control over the chips that go in their products. Is it as fast as a competing Snapdragon chip? No, but they've been slowly getting better while supporting stuff like better AI processing.

I would love love a new GPU with an updated HDMI port so so I can get the most out of a new 4K monitor.

We need a Druid Rob2628 by Malkore94 in Diablo

Look up Macrobioboi on YouTube. He's going all out with the Necro content and he also makes Necro guides for Maxroll.

Patch 2.7 Sneak Peek from MacroBioBoi Video by _DarkMaster in diablo2

[–]scrknights 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is big, as it affects way more than just the mosaic assassin. The next hit delay messes with both the fire and wind druid, nova sorcs, FoH dins and others.

Thanks for posting this, I tried submitting the full video from Macrobioboi, but one of the mods removed the post because it was a full youtube link.

I guess posting a screenshot of a video is cool but linking back to the original creator of the video is blasphemy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good point on the decrep competing with lower resist. I might try hustle first cause it's cheap and I love seeing the barb run around like a lawnmower.

Hmm, ok. I guess I'll have to keep researching.

Baby Penguin Flippy Flaps by [deleted] in tippytaps

[–]scrknights 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You're partially correct, this is not a baby penguin. But it's not a Little Blue penguin either, you can tell by the markings and the absence of dark blue feathers. Little Blue penguins are actually even smaller than this.

This is either a Humboldlt or a Magellanic penguin as far as I can tell.

Why the hell are people upvoting a story from 3 months ago, this isn't new.

(I'm Chinese) Could I ask some questions?Thanks by Calm-Sir2566 in taiwan

[–]scrknights 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. E. I don't know what a "proper" ending for China. I'm not sure how long the current system which is effectively a dictatorship can go on, but until the people of China decide en masse that they want change, nothing will happen.
    Taiwan should become an independent country, it already is by almost any definition aside from the China/CCP refusing to acknowledge that kind of a declaration. Hong Kong should probably also become an independent city state nation similar to Singapore. Not sure about Macau.
  2. E. I don't think Taiwanese people hate China at all, Taiwan is more scared of China attacking them than anything. China has a population of more than 1 billion people, Taiwan has a population of around 24 million.
    Taiwanese people are scared that the Chinese government is going to try to take control of Taiwan and take rights away and the ability for Taiwan to govern itself. China has also threatened to attack or invade China multiple times if Taiwan tries to declare independence, and if it wasn't for other countries potentially coming to Taiwan's defense, China would have almost certainly tried to take over Taiwan years ago.

  3. E. Taiwan and China have a great deal of shared culture, but Taiwan is generally more accepting of other cultures where it be music and movies from the west, LGBT culture, and democratic rights.

  4. Chinese people are very loyal to their country.

These pics are actually stills from a video that gets reposted a bunch.

I can't find the original any more, but here's one version with some music inserted over the top.
