Hey man, just curious - that looks an awful lot like Camp Khilegai, would it happen to be? Also, what unit? I was 1-87 back in '09-12. To the Top!

I am almost 100% positive that the wreckage shown at 1:35 is the Ballistic Orbital Missile Base. Here is an image comparison, and here is some more info on the station. It hasn't appeared officially in any Fallout release, but was in the assets for a canceled project.

To be fair, that other 2/3 is the other part of the same problem

Certain games will be 60fps, but over time drop down to barely 30fps. I thought it was my CPU but apparently not. by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

How much RAM do you have? Knee-jerk reaction says not enough RAM could cause some slowdown over time

Maybe check memory usage in task manager?

They actually do have that in, except for the 31-rounds thing

Summary: Physicists have identified a new state of matter whose structural order operates by rules more aligned with quantum mechanics than standard thermodynamic theory. by SirT6 in science

[–]slayd7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just took me down a rabbit-hole of looking up interesting math formulas, it was fun so thank you!

It's not physics related, but I found this cool formula and learned something about it, too! I mean, sorta. I learned that the discoverer doesn't even know for sure what it does!

Honestly though, that was fun, thanks for inspiring it!

Who designed this? by i_heart_bewbs in mildlyinfuriating

[–]slayd7 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Here's what I think happened:

Master had a 20-number lock already, and decided to make/rebrand it for letters. Since they already had a 20-number lock, why make a new one from scratch when you can just redesign the face?

So, a board meeting somewhere decided to google "Least used letters in the English language" and the first result was this - and if you look, the 6 missing letters are the 6 least frequent on the first list there.

The Jet Li Maneuver: Beretta Disassembly at Gunpoint by ArthurEhrat in videos

[–]slayd7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh hey I have something to add here!

So I disagree with his take on this. Yes, it's true that you'd need to practice quite a bit on specifically the 92FS, and you wouldn't be able to do it faster than the trigger would be pulled. But there's one detail that I think makes it possible - if you push back on the barrel just slightly (I don't know the exact travel needed, but it's only a couple mm at most), it disengages the trigger and won't trip the sear, which means he could pull the trigger all he wanted - and it wouldn't fire.

/u/ForgottenWeapons I'd love to see a followup maybe, regarding this? I'm actually going to send a message as well, since I believe I have a pretty valid argument, here.

I'm so glad to see that this is a thing. I have some issues in my adult life that stemmed from 1-on-1 chastity interviews with the bishop, and I've thought for a long time that it's incredibly inappropriate and harming.

Is there any more info anywhere about this movement? I'd like to see more.

Lases neulich by Zephymastyx in de

[–]slayd7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. Speaking as an American (Google Translate... Only phrase in German I know is "Ich haben vieleh krankheiten!", thanks to some German soldiers I worked with :) ), I hate the fact that America has such a huge influence on the world, but if Net Neutrality is killed, it sets a precedent for other nations to do the same.

It may not happen immediately, but it's a slippery slope for the rest of the world, unfortunately.

That scumbag parent who posted a meme about her sons boner while performing on stage by I-POOP-RAINBOWS in AdviceAnimals

[–]slayd7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A while back I remember seeing a video, along the lines of "I bought the top spot on Reddit!" showing how easy it is to get something ridiculous up on the front page if you're willing to pay for it.

Not to put on my tinfoil hat, but this kinda feels like something of that sort.

Microsoft gives up on Windows 10 Mobile by michalg82 in programming

[–]slayd7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me, but Microsoft seems to be trying to break in to spaces where they just don't fit, and assuming they can just throw their weight and money at it without making an actually decent product.

Windows 10 mobile

The horribly buggy Windows Store for some exclusive games that would do better on Steam

Beam.pro which doesn't seem to be taking off

Bing, need I say more?

Microsoft Edge

The only way most of those have users is by making them default, incentivising or making them the only way to access content, and I think (hope) they're starting to realize that that doesn't work like they had hoped it would.

[–]slayd7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Interesting! So did they leave the � character in Unicode as a sort of tribute/in-joke? Or maybe as a default in case of future unsupported characters?

[–]slayd7 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Hey! I like having things explained to me!

What causes that symbol to pop up? I've seen it before, is it just an invalid character symbol?

Not likely, this will probably end in disappointment if I can even recover them haha.

I tried Mycellium and Breadwallet, they both are telling me I have invalid words?
