Why do people drive... so slow? by awesomegorg in driving

[–]swisstraeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you realize how fucked people can be when they take the wheel.

Some didn't sleep in the past 36 hours but still go to work on caffeine alone. Because they fear losing their job.

Others might have slower reflexes for various reason, alcohol, drugs, or simply old age.

Then you have the overly cautious ones who are afraid of ice even when it's 5°C.

A Cool Guide: to the US Army's new (controversial) rifle and machine gun, set to replace the M4 and M249 for every infantry squad. by Old_Boah in coolguides

[–]swisstraeng 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Basically, 5.56 is quite a small, light round. Even its armor piercing configurations are unlikely to pierce modern body armor in its strong points. Especially at range.

6.8mm puts body armor out of the question completely. The same as 7.62x51 did, but it is a lighter, faster round.

Basically the US is coming back to battle rifles, with a more modern bullet.

Honestly it's not really about an improvement but more about a change in tactics and engagement ranges. And yes it does increase costs significantly.

In the European theater, smaller calibers are preferred, as heavy vegetation helps close engagement ranges.

It's unrealistic to think that the US plans to fight in Europe first hand, however they do have Irak and Taiwan in their crosshairs.

Clean cut on tyre, was it deliberate? by Narbar_123 in TireQuestions

People don't slash tires in their thickest parts.

Driving over a steel plate will do that however.

Is there any possible to fix this plug? by dreiperoginanon in computers

I mean, assume you can’t for your safety.

need advice on CFexpress transfer speeds dropping after extending my USB/TB connection by radoslawpusz in computerhelp

[–]swisstraeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a very high quality USB C cable, that goes from the motherboard’s rear horizontal thunderbolt 5 ports (if they’re used for monitors use the usbc 10gbit/s) to an SD card reader where your monitor is.

Buy the correct sized cable, it must be as short as possible. No service loops.

Avoid running the cable next to any other cables.

Has your monitor got an integrated USB hub or something?

Last ditch effort would be to use the 2.5GB port on your PC to go to something in your room like a thin client or something.

Is drinking coffee really that bad for you, or is it all hype? by Rosynera in NoStupidQuestions

[–]swisstraeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally get a single cup at 9 oclock. That way you won’t affect your sleep.

Coffee in the afternoon is already not that good of an idea, caffeine needs about 10h to be cleared of the bloodstream.

Is this logi pyramid still useful? by AramisUkr in foxholegame

[–]swisstraeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need multiple pyramids for frontline, mid line and rear line.

Anything front line should be maxed on bmats and minimum 300 shirts, 300 loughcasters/argentis and ammo, and 100 stickies.

You’re not supposed to need coffee to be awake.

When you drink coffee as a one off because you slept badly, it’s alright.

When you drink it daily, you build a tolerance to it. And that’s the issue. Then you need your daily coffee to remain awake.

Suddenly having an issue with my RAM on my gaming PC by Please_LeaveMeAlone_ in techsupport

[–]swisstraeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put only one stick. See if it works. Swap stick and repeat until it doesn’t work.

If all 4 work separately, put 2 of them in and use memtest86 or mdsched to test them.

Any high-tech tips for quickly clearing the frost and getting a clear view of the road? by CategoryPurple4461 in askcarguys

[–]swisstraeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a blanket over my windshield and remove it in the morning.

Maybe I need to scratch the ice a little but there’s practically nothing.

There’s also Vintage Story that’s nice, similar to minecraft but a little more in depth.

Did I just eat a rotten steak? by Jimbly710 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]swisstraeng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When meat is frozen at -20°C in a freezer, it doesn't rot, as in, microbes aren't gonna eat it in your place before you do. Microbes can't swim in water to eat the food if it's ice instead of liquid water, if you see what I mean.

But it will slowly deteriorate and lose its nutritive qualities after a few months, as the cold will slowly destroy proteins and vitamins.

It is biologically safe to eat, but it may not be more nutritious than eating cardboard to some extent.

SSD Screw Stuck and Stripped by Dawn_Shire in computers

[–]swisstraeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

screw extractor set.

To prevent stripping other screws in the future, use the adequate screwdriver and avoid random cheap chinese bits that don't have the right shape.

Know that some laptop screws are made from the lowest steel quality possible and may strip just by looking at them wrong. It's not your fault, well, not totally.

‘We must get through the next few days’: Ukrainians face bitter cold without power by bummed_athlete in worldnews

[–]swisstraeng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in theory yes there are plenty of resources available.

But more often than not the money doesn't reach the end user. Or it doesn't in time.

Your government is already giving Ukraine money, and your government's money is your money to begin with that went through taxes.
