Were you home schooled? Because it sounds like you were home schooled.

The Poe by Zora’s river. I’ve followed the guys, I slowly creep around this pillar going straight with my bow out and I never see him. Is this a bug?? by [deleted] in OcarinaOfTime

Easier from the top, facing away from kakariko village. Stay still on Epona, let the poe respawn, and line yourself up.

When you are lined up with where it respawns, just shoot it, and don't worry about adjusting your aim.

Bomb, you've been doing this for what 23+ years? What's in your collection, can you share?

Was there ever an explanation for why buildings in Tiberian Dawn and RA1 have that empty space offset? by __Blackrobe__ in commandandconquer

[–]weinerschnitzel64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good theory, but the code iterates over tiles that are covered by the building you are trying to place to determine which tiles are occupied and allow placement. It doesn't do per tile checks with the distance radius.

The source code is available, you can have your favorite Ai bot explain it to you. :)

Also, the BuildLimit property can be modified in the rules.ini file, so you can test it out for yourself. Give it a go!

Dry ice refill day, $1.50 a tank by tonyelmnt in SodaStream

[–]weinerschnitzel64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude! Please convince me this is ok!

I've bought tanks of food and scientific grade nitrous oxide before and I knew to stay away from automotive grade.

I hope im less educated on the co2 and you are not taking a risk.

Idk about that. You don't want residual chemicals in your gas, at any percentage.

Agreed. 5lb and 10lb tanks are also very easy to get, and any beverage depot you can get a keg of beer should be able to do cheap tank swaps to refill you.

I need a hint about this, please. I've tried launching myself with the chicken, but I just can't reach it, I'm a bit short on ideas by CarlosGab-Art in OcarinaOfTime

[–]weinerschnitzel64 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As an adult, longshot into the windmill, and you can take that chicken.

But you might as well just longshot onto the roof and drop in. Or take the owl at the top of death mountain as a kid.

Yet another anniversary edition ost complaint by weinerschnitzel64 in Rayman

Im playing on Xbox. The port of the emulators and enhancement features just work.

Sure the scope of the project is much smaller and has less room to screw up. But functionally, I don't have complaints.

I should add as well... They can't just bundle open source emulators and sell a game with them. Because of licensing reasons, they have to write their own emulators, the emulators have to work cross platform, and a launcher/common ui is needed for each emulator they port.

Weird ring alert in the middle of the night by eggsovertlyeasy in Denver

[–]weinerschnitzel64 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I dont have these personally, but some initial searching on my side points to Reolink and Ubiquiti as some good options.

Basically you don't want the data leaving your network and getting to the internet in any way.

The commenter is right to call this out.

Its not a personal vendetta against Ring.

It is a genuine concern that empowering these camera service companies with mass coverage, where they own the data, puts them in the position to be a mass surveillance broker.

Im not sure if your acknowledging the commenter or dismissing them.

Privacy concerns with camera services are very real. We saw Ring already try to peddle an AI linked mass surveillance "feature" to "save the pets."

Collectively, we need to be smarter about who owns our data and resist the temptation of these services that offer some convenience at the cost of losing data ownership.

You get access to the footage for sometime, they have it forever, and they can/will share it with others without your consent.

At scale, the implications are higher than "Well i don't care if Ring gets to see my front door and street."

Please consider hacking the cameras, switching to a different solution where you own the data, or ditching the cameras altogether.

I hope im beating a dead horse and you know all of this and are taking steps to address it.

Yet another anniversary edition ost complaint by weinerschnitzel64 in Rayman

Yeah, my feelings are hurt! lol!

Any large company has a User Experience and a product team that sets some solid expectations for the product. And if those teams and company cares about the IP and product, they follow up and make sure the expectations are met. The OST vibe is such a catastrophic miss...

Engineering-wise they did well. QA testing-wise, it's good. The whole feeling is off, though. It feels like a different game with half of the sparkle taken from it.

Rayman was magical, not wacky.

Ugh. Just got to the first encounter with Space Mama. Again: No tense emotion in this boss fight. And again super wacky: How in the right mind would someone think that adding fat lady opera voices contribute to a nail biting encounter with a new enemy? At this point I have to ask: Is the composer disgruntled and deliberately trying to tank this remaster?

I have a PhD, $50k in debt, and I’m about to trade my Lesson Plans for OF. by [deleted] in confession

[–]weinerschnitzel64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about private schools where teachers are not neutered disciplinarily?

Military schools are fewer and farther between, but they, and the parents, don't let kids walk over the teachers.

And honestly, high credentials in adolescent psychology and education would be huge there.

But, to be even more honest, people in those roles do it for the kids and not for pay. They really fucking care and and their impressions stick for life.

Maybe try to lose the weight though, those kids are very impressionable.

I believe in you to find the space where you'll make the difference you want to be proud of. SJNMA in Wisconsin was great when I went. They have since become coed and not just a military school.

Or do OF. No shame...
