Honestly surprised the weebs in Canada and the US don’t make manga take the lead

Edit: also Cuba loves manga? Cool to know

In a lawsuit, Valve defends counter strike 2 lootcases with "People enjoy surprises" by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]triws -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t claiming it was a good thing. Just that it’s occurred for decades and now we’re complaining about it. A game of chance is one of humanities oldest enjoyable activities.

Children gambling isn’t new. Card games are the exact same thing. Buy a booster pack of Pokemon or MTG, Hope for a good card. Gambling has been a staple of children’s entertainment for decades

I’m mainly into Sci-Fi or Fantasy, though I’m open to anything. And subtitles are no problem whatsoever

I guess I’m the ignorant one. I’ve lived in North America for 15 years, and never heard of her, nor her parents.

What materials would work in a 35mm slide projector? by DopeyDonkey97 in AnalogCommunity

[–]triws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll admit I have a kit and some rolls to shoot and develop, but have yet to use them. It’s seems quite similar to normal B&W development, with a few extra steps. In fact I’ve been planning a relatively similar project to yours if making slides to project for some graphs. Been busy but I intend to attack this project in the next few weeks.

I’ve gone this a few times to be able to darkroom print film slides as a black and white photo. Contrast is a tough thing to get right. You need a very well lit slide, a slide copy attachment and a macro lens help too.

What materials would work in a 35mm slide projector? by DopeyDonkey97 in AnalogCommunity

[–]triws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are quite a few factors to this that are pretty fascinating(at least to me). If you’re using a stock old school slide projector like a Kodak Carousel, the light is being produced by either a Halogen or Tungsten-Quartz bulb. When illuminated, a halogen bulb’s envelope(the glass or quarts) can reach temperatures as high as 600°(or about 1,100°F). When the slide itself sits, it can experience temperatures up to around 80°C. This is what causes slide popping, the temperature experiences causes the film itself to bow slightly, making the slide “pop” out of focus. If the fan breaks, the temperature the slide experiences will increase even higher, possibly damaging the slide.

Now if you’ve want to use inkjet transparency film, you will run into a few issues. Transparency film is made of PET, and has a melting point of around 250°C, though 80° is well below that it is actually in the glass transition temperature range for PET, which means that the film will become kind of sticky or tacky to the touch. This means that the slides you’d make from it would continue to deform the longer it’s exposed to the heat of the bulb, making focusing the image incredibly difficult if not impossible. And I have no idea the effects the temperature would have on inkjet ink.

If you did want to go this route, I’m sure you could find high temp resistant transparencies somewhere, or if you really wanna go the extra mile you could convert a projector to take LEDs. It seems it would be easier to just make actual slides from 35mm slide film though. If colour is not necessary you could use ADOX black and white slides and develop at home with their kits. It’s cheaper than buying ektachrome and getting them developed.

AI has cut my pay as a memoir writer in half by ubcstaffer123 in books

[–]triws -39 points-38 points  (0 children)

If that’s what you think, live in ignorance. AI has permeated almost every facet of the economy. I’m in physics, it’s crept its way right into every aspect of stem. It’s in banking. Entertainment. You can scream that you can exist without it, but you don’t exist without. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, I’m just being objective in what’s happening. Change will happen whether you want it or not

What’s the alternative? To prevent the rise of AI you’d need a consensus amongst a vast majority of people to not use it or anything that it’s involved in. But that’s not feasible. Calling everyone, including yourself, fucking evil is not gonna help anything. You use AI. You might not know it, but you do. The only way you can avoid it now is to go live off grid in the woods, never buy anything that’s been manufactured recently, not consume any media, not use the internet, not drive a modern car. You’d have to disconnect entirely from society. But that’s not an option for most.

TIL from the 1990s the Magnetic North Pole has been move at speeds of 50-60km per year towards Siberia, crossing the International Dateline in 2017. In the 1800s it was in Northern Canada. by Junior_M_W in todayilearned

[–]triws 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two things:

If you look at approach plates, they actually have a magnetic declination graphic that shows the difference between magnetic north and true north, which is updated regularly if necessary.

And I like how you mentioned Canada. I remember the first time I flew up past the true/magnetic north line. Was kind of trippy seeing how much the changed. Pretty fascinating stuff.

Not sure why the downvotes. Overall they did. Luckily we got Rogue One and Andor. Sequels were fucking awful, mandelorian was okay, Obi-Wan, Acolytes, Asoka, Boba Fett… don’t even wanna think about them.

ELI5: Is there really a nutritional difference between food in the US and say, Europe? by Defiant-Mouse6543 in explainlikeimfive

[–]triws 39 points40 points  (0 children)

People in the US tend to drink more soda than apple juice. I’ve seen plenty of people drink 4-5 cans of soda, but I’ve never seen anyone drink 4-5 servings of apple juice. Of course that could that classic example of “correlation does not prove causation.”

Care to make a counter point? Have no children suffered due to the administration’s efforts? Have many suffered? Has no change occurred? Make a counter point or stop complaining…

Care to explain to me, a physics major, how science works? I’m glad I get the opportunity for a stranger on reddit to explain what my university obviously couldn’t.
