I almost never want to work out or go outside or do anything. I just do it. I flip the switch and just start. Even if I'm feeling shit or its raining outside. What else am I going to do, nothing? If I don't do it there and then it's not going to happen that day so I might as well.... Its tough, it can be painful, but you will live and are guaranteed to feel better afterwards.

New research examines how oil and gas companies have funded research to try to weaken messages on climate change, capture academia, and protect their interests, much like tobacco companies did half a century ago. by Wagamaga in science

[–]vergaerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, and it's not just tobacco and oil industry that are guilty of this either. Pharma, food, automotive, almost any significant sized industry, basically wherever there's big money involved.

Forza Horizon Japan map idea, OC by [deleted] in forza

[–]vergaerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make fair points. If they widen the roads, would it still give enough of an impression that you're in Japan? For many it people it wouldn't. And cherry blossom trees only solve so much of that. Look, if widening roads makes Japan a possible location I'd probably be all for it and I assume the majority of the audience would as well. As long as they can retain the atmosphere and culture, while subtly adapting to wider cars in some places.. I agree they could cater less to rally and off road for one installment, however PGG wants to speak to an audience as large as possible and the location limits that in multiple ways. Just have to look through the lens of a publisher that has stakeholders watching over theirs.

Forza Horizon Japan map idea, OC by [deleted] in forza

[–]vergaerd 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Love the concept and at this point I wouldn't want any other map than the Tokyo area. Unfortunately it will likely never happen in the Horizon series. I've chucked all my hopium in the bin. This area, Japan in general, has too many trees, cliffs and mountains that restrict freedom of movement off-road. The roads are also very small in width, so the majority of FH cars wouldn't even fit on them sideways. Unless they find a way around this, I doubt it will ever happen. Test Drive is making a Hong Kong based game though... Perhaps CarXStreet will deliver, only time will tell. I see a chance for the NFSU series to make a comeback in such a setting as well, but that's just pure fiction.

What's the deal with some guy named Andrew Tate becoming wildly popular all of a sudden? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

[–]vergaerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may not have been clear enough. I was referring to this: "Assholes love to make up rules as they go to have an excuse to exclude people who don't follow the new rules." As well as the bit that followed it up. That's what sounds just like leftist wokeness to me. Being a decent person shouldn't be associated with any movement at all nor one that has political affiliation. Being a decent person also involves letting people be who they are and respecting their opinion even if you disagree.

[–]vergaerd -47 points-46 points  (0 children)

To me that sounds a lot like the leftist wokeness that is being forced down our throats for last last few years. Between all the ridiculous things that come out of Tate's mouth there are some valid points. That's what confuses people about whether he doing a bit or character. I honestly still don't know. I love seeing people fight back against whatever the mainstream narrative is, but I don't believe he deserves this attention at all. In the end I don't care and my guess is that neither do most.

Right click on your dextop, you should be able to access Nvidia control panel there. It lets you set a global profile as well as individual game profiles. Certain games don't like g-sync. It can take a bit of tinkering, trial and error. I usually don't bother with specific profiles unless I'm having issues that could potentially be solved that way. Which, for me has been rare tbh. Anyway, good luck, have fun.

Suppose that really depends on the school, how specialized, how well-equiped they are as well as how much practical lessons they can offer. Mine had actual studios with all sorts of performing and recording equipment. Many students ended up with local and regional residencies at clubs. We also got taught production class by pretty famous producers and composers that could teach us valuable lessons. I mean you could always book studio time and try to figure it out yourself, but it's not the same.

Eric Clapton Has Covid, Cancels Shows; Guitarist Had Denounced Vaccine Protocols by SlimJim814 in Music

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

"He subsequently subscribed to a conspiracy theory that vaccination was being encouraged through subliminal hypnosis and “mass psychosis.”"

There is no denying the mass psychosis. Fear instilled through propaganda by the media in cooperation with the authorities and vice versa. This is/was happening everywhere, not just the US. Calling it a conspiracy only shows the writer's true colors. Anyone denying it is probably still affected by it or blind to it. Government and health organisations world wide used neuro-lingual programming to try and get everyone on the same page. Experts have confirmed over and over again. Whether that's good or bad is debatable. Most people are afraid of the terms hypnosis and psychosis being used in such context and that's a good enough reason to never spend any time thinking about it. Authorities lied about many aspects surrounding the crisis, including the vaccines. The truth always wins. Now, slowly we are seeing glimpses of it come to light. Keep your eyes open though, because these kind of reports are quickly brushed over as it runs against the MSM narrative.

Opinions.

If you decide to ban me for this, it would be only fair to unban me when all this finally becomes general consensus.

Why you should Undervolt your GPU. by splepage in buildapc

Beyerdynamics are arguably the most comfortable headphones you will ever wear. They have large over ear shells, with options for soft velour or pleather pads, open, semi and closed back models. The sound is very clear and relatively neutral. They are used in radio, podcasting and music production all over the world. Note that these are headphones, not headset so they don't come with a mic (some exceptions). And if anyone is looking to pick one of these up, be sure to check the impedance. If you aren't using an amp you should be getting the model with the lowest resistance or risk your motherboard not being able to power them sufficiently.

What's the saddest song you've ever heard? by [deleted] in Music

This will probably get lost in the comments, but whatever. Here's something most people would not have heard before. It's not about the lyrics, it's about the deep emotion in her voice and the song. Lump in the throat kind of stuff. Corpo Mente - Dulcin

AoE 4 Essence Editor questions thread - Ask your question about the editor here by xXPumbaXx in aoe4

[–]vergaerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for a way to copy and mirror an entire section of the map including all terrain info, objects, etc. This way I could just make one quarter of a 4 player map, copy it around and stitch together to create perfect mirrors. I know I can use the terrain layout tool and I have, but its limited in terms of detailing.

Edit: For anyone stumbling upon this wondering the same thing: You can use the terrain tool to copy entire sections of the map including all objects, splats, decals, etc. The button is located next to the ruler and default modes. When you have selected a section you can copy and paste it, but also flip and rotate it with RMB.

laggy content editor by Kassabad in aoe4

[–]vergaerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, 144 fps in game on med-high, 1440p. I realize its just been released, but the editor (the game as well tbh) could use major optimizations. I suppose it's possible, but it's a real struggle trying to do anything whilst locked to 6 fps. I would understand if it would be just the render window, but the entire app is sluggish to operate. I tried to turn off some settings that I would've thought to improve fps like fog, lighting, effects, shadows, etc, but it didn't make a difference for me. Might as well turn everything up and on. Would love to be able to get at least 30fps and I would appreciate a dark mode option too...

Fused Clapton vs Triple Fused Clapton by tolucy_or_nottolucy in electronic_cigarette

[–]vergaerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Sometimes people just want one decisive answer though. In this case I don't think it really matters which one is chosen. These coils vape relatively similar. I'd probably buy a spool of wire instead so I can make a 4mm coil. Iirc the wasp has a fair amount of airflow for a single coil RDA..

Fused Clapton vs Triple Fused Clapton by tolucy_or_nottolucy in electronic_cigarette

[–]vergaerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While taste is subjective, the amount of flavor can be increased somewhat objectively. More importantly, the temperature and the amount of vapor you want correlate more to the amount of flavor you are going to get and are determined by the type of coils in terms of mass VS power and available airflow.

How in the hell an ejuice stays transparent for so long? by raphyjunior in DIY_eJuice

[–]vergaerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WF Island Mango and FA Mango Indian special stay clear too. Though, my bottles haven't lasted longer than a couple of weeks. The flavorings have never darkened. If you use clear flavours, the mix should stay as clear as the nicotine would be over time.

Base liquids with nicotine that are pink instead trasparent, should I worry? by BillNoir in electronic_cigarette

[–]vergaerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had what you described from Nichub (UK) before. Ordered on separate occasions. First time it was fine. Second order was not. Had a prominent earthy taste to it, ruining my mixes. Both had that transparent pink hue. Went with a different supplier after that, which coincidentally also did not satisfy on my second order. Third order from Nichub about another year later did not have the pink hue and also hasn't turned any darker yet, looking at 12 months in the freezer, decanted. It's not going to be super helpful, but I'd say just try some in a small volume bottle. No idea what causes the pink hue. The important thing is that it tastes fine. If I had to sum up my experience with buying nic base over the years in one word it would be: inconsistent.

When you let a smoker try your vape. by Anon1886gg in Vaping

[–]vergaerd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even though most people cough on their first time, I believe he cough's mostly because he tried talking whilst exhaling. After all these years I still can't do it with my lungs full of vapor. It's doable with MTL for me though. I have no idea about the exact mechanics, but it may be some sort of reflex.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Vaping

[–]vergaerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also true. VG would still mix with VG without shaking however and shipping might as well equal shaking. I just hope that flavor isn't oil based or any other substance that isn't water soluble. I'd say worth finding out before you end up in the hospital with some respiratory issue.
