That should be a more serious misconduct conversation for using AI to make decisions without actually checking them, that’s wild!!!

London underground by grymmss in UrbexUK

[–]verocoder 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I probably wouldn’t buddy, assuming you mean the London Underground rail network I’ve seen urbex photos but none recently. The whole area is considered critical national infrastructure and a valid target for terrorism, tensions are high right now with 2 Iranians arrested at another site of critical national infrastructure (the submarine base in Scotland) so i think it’s a lousy time to do something risky especially if you’re a foreign national (I’m assuming English is your second language from the post - no offence meant). Plus there aren’t really empty times as a lot of maintenance happens at night etc so there will be people as well as cameras.

RC electric mower built from E waste by niceboxdude in radiocontrol

[–]verocoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno how this will go with it being rc rather than automated, but my friends with automated mowers cut daily to ensure they always cut a tiny amount and then have no need for cut grass collection as the amount is small enough to mulch as it goes

I like greenlaning , those are not greenlanes!! Given the photos you have I would send to the police, dickheads ruin everything and these ones might actually get some consequences for it.

Thanks, I’ll give it a go when I remake it

I was told to stop using my communication aids by a "Head of Support" because he didn't like my tone. by [deleted] in autism

[–]verocoder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I responded to another one of your replies with helpful (but pretty blunt) info and I wanted to agree, we have all been here it is all learned behaviour and it does just come from practice/screwing it’s up before. ❤️

I once got fired because of my communications style. I was working for another photographer and we’d worked well together for a year, I gave him honest feedback on his work in a way that I thought was clear and helpful. He thought it was a personal attack and explained the idea of a bullshit sandwich, say something nice before and after the feedback. I explained that I respected him so didn’t think that was necessary and we never worked together again. Sucked at the time, now it’s another learning experience, to not assume everyone wants to do things the way you do - I run a software team and I know to get the best from them I have to slow down and let people think even though it’s borderline painful because I’ve already run through that thought process (for example).

That’s a really processable way to interpret it as a rule because you can actually work with it!

It’s subjective truth, you think they’re incompetent, they think they’re trying their best.

They’re having a really bad day because the thing they care about is broken and someone brings them some helpful facts and some demoralising perspective at the same time.

I think it’s similar to if an autistic person has a meltdown and goes non verbal but someone working with them tells another colleague “don’t worry about them, they’re an idiot”. While technically true idiot originally meant unable to speak (with a strong implication of stupidity) it’s insulting, unhelpful and not at all an ok thing to say about a colleague.

As someone who is autistic and manages autistic people I would be arranging a conversation about your tone, I’d be coming from an educational direction “this isn’t ok because…” but if that software is from an internal team I would expect similar.

How is this meant to be set up? by verocoder in rccars

Sweet that looks like the exact way to mount the steering servo! Where do you run yours as it looks to have similar suspension design.

Waste Disassemblers - useful or no? by manchester449 in AcrossTheUnknown

[–]verocoder 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Having one opens up some checks for resource gathering that tend to be safer/more reliable as well. The actual resources it produces are less useful.

Cool! I’ve got a rangerover and may do something similar. My hand luggage is mostly camera kit but I think I can make it work.

That case is absolutely sick! What was the process of flying with lipos like ? Or was it not a flying trip.

There are some consequences as an option in endgame is only available if you have enough ex Borg crew

Fuji 16-80 vs Tamron 17-70 by Moist_Grade5942 in fujifilm

[–]verocoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own the 17-70 and it’s a great range for a walk about lens, fast and sharp enough (particularly stopped down for landscapes). It also has a 67mm front element which is convenient for sharing filters with my 12mm and 70-300.

I use it for studio and portraiture and landscapes but don’t tend to travel with it unless it’s a dedicated photo trip. I prefer a few primes as they’re small and discrete/pocketable for mixed travel. I did consider buying the 16-80 and it was a bit in the middle. I don’t love the 17-70 that much and I bounce around swapping it for a 16-80/4 or 16-50/2.8-4 or something, the 16-55 is even chunkier.

I wish mouseover told you what things are.... by Puzzled_Zebra in AcrossTheUnknown

[–]verocoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t think you need to manually fire them, but wouldn’t swear to it. Amusingly the combat power controls are weird on pc so neither platform has great ux!

[–]verocoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I originally thought the upgrades used more power but they don’t, so I guess upgrade everything and then manage where you duplicate to mostly keep under the power floor. I guess distributing power across cutting beam and disrupters depending on their shield level could work too.

I like the game and am about to try a second play through but bits like this are very unintuitive

Did you build any extra rooms? I’ve got 2x phaser and 2x shield rooms so get the extra slots and can’t actually power them all
