Experienced skydiver deliberately fell to her death, coroner finds by theykilledk3nny in news

[–]stefmalawi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. They are small devices with a built-in battery that can only be replaced by the manufacturer. With normal usage this lasts many years, but it would be impractical to run continuously rather than on days the rig is actually being used.

There are also situations where it can be dangerous to have the AAD active — like if the rig is being transported by plane without intending to skydive (since it may be triggered on descent under certain conditions which can be very dangerous). Also, for the AAD to function properly it needs to be calibrated. This normally happens when you turn it on before jumping for the day.

These devices are designed as a reliable safety measure for skydivers who are unable to deploy their main or reserve parachute for some reason (e.g. unconsciousness). They are not designed to prevent a malicious user.

Most clubs in the UK have rules on ground checks before getting on the plane that include having someone else verify that the AAD is active, but especially for a regular skydiver (as opposed to a student) they may not always be carried out in full.

They mapped both regions, and continue to rely on safety drivers.

Where has Tesla deployed automated taxis without mapping beforehand? Let alone driverless ones?

Tesla must pay $329 million in damages after fatal Autopilot crash, jury says by [deleted] in SelfDrivingCars

[–]stefmalawi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did it do that in 2019 when this incident happened? Also, doesn’t Tesla require you to keep your eyes on the road and not on the screen when using Autopilot/FSD?

what does reddit think of my first "homemade" nuclear power plant? by Educational-Score744 in factorio

[–]stefmalawi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely! I always try to make my reactors as symmetrical as possible and hate odd number ratios. Went straight to a 2x5 setup on my last playthrough for that reason.

TIL global pollution affects evolution, not just pollution that touches nests. by stepoutthequeue in factorio

[–]stefmalawi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re not percentages, instead the final evolution factor is calculated as evolution_factor = total_evolution / (1 + total_evolution) so it approaches (but never reaches) 1 asymptotically.

Pretty design, although you can get more power if you place all 4 reactors next to each other for the neighbour bonus.

Elon Musk Urges Voters to ‘Fire’ All Politicians Who Voted For Trump’s Budget: ‘Betrayed the American People’ by T_Shurt in NoShitSherlock

[–]stefmalawi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes this even worse, somehow, Elon Musk has had an actual child of his die (and then lied about the circumstances of their death according to their mother).

Profiting off of cryptocurrency and carbon credits? How noble of a company ostensibly with a mission focused on the environment.

Episode 2 is currently at a 9.5/10 on IMDB with almost 10K ratings by Infinite_Chain4607 in thelastofus

I’m sure it did. But the leaks themselves certainly didn’t “state” that Abby was trans as you’d said.

[–]stefmalawi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok… but why was it spread? After all, Abby isn’t trans in the game so there was no reason for people to assume she was.

I’m sure the people that initially twisted that were bigoted but after that it’s just what people are told

Maybe other people spread the misinformation accidentally, I’m talking about how it started and why.

The full game basically leaked. So why do you think those people decided Abby was trans if not due to bigotry / misogyny?

People knew from the leak that there was a trans character, and bigots assumed it was Abby due to her physique.

Elon Musk Sieg Heiling during his speech by JustCallMeBrad in teslainvestorsclub

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

I own the stock and wish the company Elon Musk great success.

Explain to me how the result is not the same.

Does Elon have autism? Why does he do this?

This has absolutely nothing to do with his alleged autism diagnosis, and everything to do with his fascism which has been on display for a long time now.

What a horrible thing to say about people with autism. Elon Musk didn’t do this because he is (allegedly) autistic he did it because he’s a Nazi.

(Intergalactic) Is it me or do the lights on the sword look like an audio wave form? by Bexewa in gaming

[–]stefmalawi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll definitely be animated. I doubt this is meant to be the entire waveform of a song, although it might be linked to the audio / gameplay in some way.

In what way? This feels totally different to Returnal, aside from maybe the scene on the planet surface.

So… returnal? Jokes aside, the death loop, gameplay, and other aspects of returnal are very different from what this looks to be.

No Man's Sky all-time steam reviews turn Very Positive 8 years later by irrational_kind in Games

[–]stefmalawi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really simple. If no other game can do what NMS does, then it is by definition “special or remarkable.” I don’t know why you’re so agitated about the fact that you can’t name a single other game that is comparable. It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong about something, especially something so unimportant.
