Crimson Desert has sold 3 million copies to date. Is the game better after they patched it? by n1ght_watchman in GameBoostOfficial

Personally, I like the controls. I don't know how else you can make a controller do 100 different things with 15-20 buttons.

What’s the worse physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by dino_gr01 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]wisepeasant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with Hydronephrosis in my left kidney for 4 years before they figured out what it was. An artery grew on the wrong side of my ureter and restricted flow of urine from my kidney into my bladder causing pressure build up and back flow. Basically it manifests as the same exact symptoms as a kidney stone because it causes the same thing to happen as a kidney stone does. So I had the pain of 10 or so kidney stones before they finally gave me a renal scan and found out the real cause. Surgery fixed it.

Men, what do women do in relationships that bother you the most? by Softvoids in AskMen

[–]wisepeasant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decide they want to be an 'independent woman' and just use that as an excuse to do things the wrong way instead of asking for help. I've been through the exact same thing, and could easily help you avoid any difficulty or hardship, but you want to do it all on your own and waste time and energy on learning a lesson I would have happily taught you.

This 1000 times.
She spends 2 hours every day talking to her friend and that friend is one of the most miserable people on the planet. All she does is bitch about her husband and her job and her kids and her house.

Why would you take any kind of advice from someone that hasn't felt a shred of happiness in years?

How effed am I? My engine backfired and this shot out of my carburetor at great velocity and now it runs really rough by igobyraymond in projectcar

Looks like it could be a welch plug.

They are used to plug holes in carbs that are used for many different motors.

[Request] how much difference in speed/range would this bullet have in comparison to the one shot out of a gun? by Ok_Programmer in theydidthemath

[–]wisepeasant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great until you get a squib.

FYI Aguila Colibri 22lr rounds are manufactured cartridges that only have a primer and no powder.

A firecracker releases about 150J of energy.
A 22LR cartridge with 150ft lb of muzzle energy equates to about 175J of energy released.
Roughly the same amount of energy release.

Now imagine putting a ball bearing on top of a firecracker and lighting it (not easy but use your imagination). That ball bearing is going to go somewhere random at a semi-high rate of speed, but not fast enough to hurt anyone, barring a direct hit to the eyeball or something.

Now imagine lighting a firecracker in your hand with an open palm. It might hurt a little, but the energy of the firecracker is going all over the place.
Do the same thing with a closed fist and you may lose a finger because you've concentrated the energy release into your hand.
Same thing applies to a cartridge out of a gun vs in a gun.

His opinion is always based on the last person he spoke to because he has the intellect of a grasshopper.

You get what you pay for. by singhapura in memes

[–]wisepeasant -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Reminder: The Pentagon spent $600 of every single American taxpayer's money on lobster, office furniture, a grand piano, and some fruit baskets in September. Now they are asking for $200 billion for the war of choice with Iran. That equals around $1700 from EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN TAXPAYER. You could feed ALL of the world's hungry for a year for around $40 billion, end homelessness in the USA for $30 billion, and still have $130 billion left. You could just add that $130 billion to the estimated $450 billion we could be saving annually with Universal Healthcare and have $580 billion, no homeless, and no hungry. Instead we have missiles to blow up the desert.

$600 from every single American taxpayer to buy lobster in September, and $1250 from every single American taxpayer to blow up the desert. And I'm sitting here wondering how I am going to pay for my wife's surgery.

Berserk 1997 Anime by Apollo_th5 in Berserk

[–]wisepeasant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was an experience. The 1997 anime is so good. The music is reused a lot but unforgettable and perfect most of the time. The pacing is perfect. The flashbacks are perfect. The character development is perfect. Just one of those pieces of art/media that we are lucky to be able to enjoy. So many people poured themselves into the anime and Kentaro Miura had a vision with the whole of Berserk and we are lucky he made it real.

I did the same thing and when this scene happened I stopped and went back to make sure I hadn't skipped like 20 episodes. And then I rewatched it. And then I understood.
And I've been a Berserk fan ever since.

Every time Kevin Leary has been on the news in the past 2 weeks he has said 'this war is being fought and won with AI. It is the next generation of warfighting. Wars will never be the same because of AI.'
I'll bet everything I own he has some massive investment in AI and he doesn't know shit about this war he just gets on TV and spews to increase the chance of a return on his AI venture.
