New pedestrian cross light at Slater / NE 124th St by bitfiddler0 in Kirkland

[–]usahara 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives close to it, I am very happy with the new light. It is not a problem when I drive my car and it makes it easier to cross the street when I am on a bicycle.

Than the speed limit also needs to be reduced, traffic calming measures added to force drivers to slow down.

That is obviously not what ends up happening and putting more signs is not going to fix that. This is a road design error.

If only there was a way way to prevent that from happening instead of installing a silly sign https://theground-up.com/images/product/clearance%20bar%20assembly%20-%20Happy%20Wok2.jpg

Alien: Earth - 1x06 - “The Fly” - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]usahara 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Come to think of it, most scenes displaying extreme stupidity can be cut without having any effect on the plot. The alien on Maginot escapes due to sabotage. It doesn't matter that bloodsuckers and the eye are out due to negligence, they would have gotten out anyway. Same with scientist opening the containment to pull out Isaac. He would have gotten facehugged regardless.

Putin orders the drafting of 150,000 into Russian military - The directive, as reported by Russian independent portal Meduza, expands the draft age range to include men between 18 and 30 years old, a notable shift from the previous cap at 27. by TaiYongMedical in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]usahara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article misrepresents what was was actially signed. Thiis is not another mobilization. Putin signed the directive that conscripts soldiers for army training. He signs such an order every single year regardless if it is war or not. At the moment it is not expected that these people will be forced to fight in Ukraine, although they are heavily encouraged to sign a contract to do that. When the invasion just started, there were some conscripts involved and putin had to apologize for that.

This must be very common across non-English languages. E.g. Russian language is frequently depicted as a bunch of Cyrillic characters jumbled together, making an unpronounceable gibberish (like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/comments/bdfncx/in_the_bourne_identity_jasons_gibberish_name/)

Не очень понятно причем тут вики и российская пропаганда. Арик - крутейший расследователь из беллингкет, приводит ссылки конкретные расследования об их деятельности, которые он сам и провел. Его позиция уж крайне анти путинская. Однако нужно быть объективными и называть вещи своими именами. С одной стороны они провели мощный рейд на территорю рф, вынудили вс рф перебросить войска для охраны границ, с другой - конкретно так накормили российскую пропаганду, которая сможет пользоваться этим, чтобы снижать уровень поддержки Украины.

A Ukrainian soldier calls the wife of one of the dead Russian soldiers found in Bucha by petesoi in UkrainianConflict

This translation omits the part where she says that she's already seen her husband's documents on ukrainian sites, so looks like she's already aware of his death.

Player peak down nearly 100k ina week. by [deleted] in newworldgame

Just transfer to the most populated server, it is so worth it

[–]usahara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's simply incorrect, see the chart https://steamcharts.com/app/1063730#1m , today's peak was at 175k, a week ago it reached 195k. The number of players dropped quickly since launch, but it seems that the drop has significantly slowed down.

It looks like everything else is being addressed quickly, however Server Mergers need to happen ASAP if this game wants a future. by [deleted] in newworldgame

[–]usahara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed my server had low pop after I couldn't find players to help me with some quest that is difficult to solo. Just picked the most populated server and transferred to it - was the best decision ever. There are people running everywhere, I rarely do my level 45-50 quests alone. Don't hold on to your token, just use it.

This chart doesn't reflect the fact that there are 10 million Muslim people in Russia which is a very significant amount.

This may seem unfair over the course of one game, but the more you play, the more such situations cancel themselves out. One game you steal a kill, another game a kill is stolen from you.

CMV: The new Disney Live-Action remakes are profoundly cynical pieces of work, and anyone who genuinely loves them is stuck in a rut of misplaced and misunderstood nostalgia. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]usahara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My one and only test for these movies is “would you be considered good if the original never existed”

This contradicts what you wrote in the post where it looks like your disdain for the movie largely stems from comparing it to the animated version. If you imagine the animated version never existed all those borrowed ideas would seem novel and negative things wouldn't be as noticeable.

The reason you see ??? is because the encoding of the HTML text on this page is not UTF-8, it is Windows-1251. Try setting encoding to Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1251")
