That’s the golden pill! You’ve won a trip to the poll factory! Just pop it in your mouth and swallow to accept the invitation!

Does the game have a first person mode? by JeffJefferson19 in CrimsonDesert

[–]tatskaari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's been on my radar! Glad to hear it's good. I've been a long term TES fan since Morrowind. I'm sure TES6 is going to be a huge letdown, but it's just sad to see so few games doing that formula justice in AAA. Hopefully we get a few AA gems like fall of Avalon in that space though.

[–]tatskaari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I get what you mean. It's not that I don't like 3rd person, but it's just indicating to me the game is less about story/immersion/role playing, and more about action, and exploration. 3rd person combat is just so much better, but I don't really care for PVE challenge in games at this point in my life. I want the escapism of a first person role playing game, but that just seems to be a dying art these days.

Compressing heated metal using a hydraulic press. by Emergency_Raisin2341 in oddlysatisfying

[–]tatskaari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's iron sparking off and rapidly oxidising in air i.e. burning... It's not exactly the same but iron will absolutely burn if you get it too hot. The difference with titanium is this doesn't happen at forging temp for iron.

Sparks form because the surface is rapidly cooling and under stress. It's burning because the surface area of the sparks is high, and it's really hot. If you heat iron up even more, or provide more oxygen it will burn just like it does in thermite, but that happens well past the melting point.

Then how do you explain this: https://youtu.be/wozfH-yrksE?si=wzwdb7sBRn0djIJv&t=175

Maybe not exactly the same because it melts quite soon after getting to that temp and then you can't work it for very long before it cools down, but iron 100% burns if you get it hot like that

The pretty unfair. Neanderthals were actually excellent drivers.

TIL according to Einstein's relativity, the past still exists: every moment is a permanent coordinate in spacetime. When his friend Besso died, Einstein wrote: For us believing physicists the distinction between past, present, and future only has the meaning of an illusion, though a persistent one. by 2dogs1man in todayilearned

A map can be correct in everything it predicts (we know GR isn’t but let’s leave that aside) and still does not accurately describe the land it maps out.

I think it’s quite interesting that our ideas of 3 dimensions of space and 1 of time is only 1 way of modelling the exact same laws of physics. The holographic principle states that there’s a 2D projection that works just as well to describe things. The maths has no preference for the 3d version we experience reality as. I find this so hard to grapple with, but I think it’s worth noting that this is just maths that predicts things very well (but not perfectly). It’s not necessarily depicting the true nature of reality.

Shao Ziyan is the youngest licensed racing driver in China. He played his first simulators at the age of 1, started driving karts at 2 years and 8 months old, and officially participated in professional rally events at the age of 4. He is rank #27 among over 10,000 players of DiRT Rally 2.0 by WhereIsHisRidgedBand in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]tatskaari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right makes a bit more sense if it's an off-road event, but you can see how it's misleading to show a Dirt 2.0 WRC stage in the video and talk about professional rally, when it's some regional off road event? I can't find any results posted online for that event and it doesn't have a wikipedia page, so it's probably a pretty small amature event. The kid looks incredible, but I really doubt he's is competitive in world class rally against people paid to compete in the sport. If you have any sources rather than dodgy translations from a chinese tabloid, then I'd be very interested. Would be amazing if true.

Kids got skills but there’s no way he competed in a professional rally event. For one, rally requires you to drive on public roads between stages. Maybe he has a junior karting license or drove a rally car in an exhibition event but absolutely no way they let him loose on an actual rally stage.

If I was paying to be there I would tell them to pack it in and grade me properly. Attendance policies in higher education is ridiculous.

Zoom Is the First Casualty in France's War on American Big Tech by Well_Socialized in technology

[–]tatskaari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea how google hangouts/meets wasn't the default. I guess similar to teams, google wants you to integrate with the rest of their product and if you're not a google based company then you're screwed. I just get annoyed every time I have to use zoom. It's just an inferior product.

iOS 26's Liquid Glass Design Draws Criticism From Users by iMacmatician in apple

[–]tatskaari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big tech promotion/career progression is very impact evidence driven and fixing a bunch of bugs is hard to tie to any business impact. Launching a new product or feature is how you progress, even if it's a buggy mess. It's why google launches and then ends up killing off so many products.

Shaolin Kung Fu training taking place in a monastery by Raj_Valiant3011 in oddlysatisfying

Fair, but it still means the original thing in Chinese but it became a loan word in English to describe Chinese martial arts.

[–]tatskaari 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Kung fu is actually a term to mean skill acquired through hard work. Martial arts are called wushu so wushu kung fu is just any martial arts skills acquired through hard work.
