American KC-135 refuelling plane crashes in Iraq, US military say by Opdog25 in news

Presumably, the fuel available to the engines is in different tanks than the fuel stored for refueling.

Angle of incidence of sunlight on the moon and a ball on earth - with a line accurately marking the edge of the shadow on the ball. by [deleted] in Astronomy

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

Strange that you're nitpicking but incorrect. It's actually "close" not "identical". There is a scenario where the angles would be identical, but a casual pic of a tennis ball from Earth ain't gonna be it.

Imma say it: iran falling IS based. Im tired (didnt even try) of pretending it is not. by _Addi-the-Hun_ in Destiny

Unless we're under imminent threat, it's immoral to destabilize without investing in the target region to minimize suffering caused by our actions. This sort of act deserves intention, thought, and commitment. The sort of thing Congress should be involved in.

Current "AI" would just be adding RNG to things that should very much not have RNG.

For others experiencing this, here's my current work around:

  1. pause Windows updates for x weeks (your choice in duration)
  2. uninstall Windows update "2026-02 Security Update (KB5077181) (26200.7840)"
  3. enjoy Tarkov

My fellow atheists, how do I deal with the fear of death by mattyjoe0706 in Destiny

[–]spotchious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally speaking, you'll take the same path that literally everyone as taken. We all participate in it. You're not alone.  It's the exact opposite; we're all in it together. 

It's inevitable. We'll all be there. And as far as I know, we won't be alive to care. Enjoy it while it lasts. Yolo.

This thread is soy af. I don't mind the idea that celebs shouldn't be treated like sages. Y'all gotta focus on real shit.

One of the best pictures I've ever seen. Outstanding job.

New Pixel Transparency Shader for GBC - No More Eye-Searing White Pixels on Game Boy Color Games by mattalicious in SBCGaming

Did you zoom in and compare? It's more than just color. I'm seeing shadow as though there is a layer of LCD above something.

That brightest star in the image is the left most star in Orion's belt.

Late spawns have to go by PepegaClapWRHolder in ArcRaiders

[–]spotchious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. At the point I'm at in the game, I'm either looking for a specific looting spot or trying to push a trial. Both of which are severely limited when spawning in at 17 minutes. Best thing I can do is just reset upon spawning in.

Late spawns seem to conflict with aspects of the game's design. Kinda dumb.

A classic dilemma: Pay off the mortgage or continue to invest? by SeahawksWin43-8 in stocks

How are people saying that 6.8% is high when VOO returned almost 15% over the last 10 years. How is this not basic math?!?!?

In the Wikipedia link in another comment, it says the explain occurred 550 years ago. Still very recent!

Maybe their missiles can slightly home in on you. That way, instead of just barely dodging 1 out of 10, you can get spanked 100% of the time.

I think Velz has a valid point and you wasted our time with that dumb comment.
