If you know what you’re doing, and not just someone who plays video games, you would. It’s a much easier target, and usually fatal. Hitting the head is unlikely to be fatal unless you hit the brain.

I guess they means non-Chinese/Chinese aligned.

Alternatively, they could mean the ones popular in or marketed to the west.

Steam Input works fine. I’m specifically talking about their custom software for the controller, which is also used to update firmware.

The shooting with the scratched ear, IIRC, the FBI has refused to look into the shooters background. They killed him, so they can’t ask questions, and they refuse to investigate.

Coca Cola actually had a reasonably large amount in it. I watched this video recently, which is why I thought of coca. It’s a very interesting look into a culture I knew little to nothing of. https://youtu.be/n2ZHXTiM9j0

Well, one that stood out, is when they’re captured and he says he’s never been in prison. I haven’t seen it in a while, so I can’t really give details. It’s not that he’s totally different, but it also doesn’t advance his character really. Everything he “learns” in Rogue One, he already learned in Andor. It is unnecessary for his character.

There’s a guy who, calmly but quickly, gathers up photographers and puts them in one position, then moves then to the second position (which is the one with that flag). It’s very weird behavior for a shooting literally just having happened.

Not just right wing media. The fucking FBI can’t be bothered to look into the supposed shooters. Trump holds a grudge like no other, but he doesn’t hold a grudge against someone literally trying to kill him? That seems fishy. I don’t fully know what to believe, but I know something isn’t right, at least with the scratched ear event.

I imagine there are probably some situations where close to zero (but not actually zero) torque is fine, where this may be useful. I don’t know what those are, but something that maintains a nearly constant speed it’d be OK. Once it’s up to speed you may not need much torque to keep it there. You can just slowly add or harvest energy from it. Maybe a flywheel or something? But yeah, this is certainly not replacing gears for most purposes. It’s next to useless in most applications for gears.

Only if by push you mean several tons of metal ramming into it, yeah. I doubt a human could set it off even if they wanted to. They don’t want these mines going odd every time a seal, or driftwood, or whatever runs into it. They want it to go off when a large military vessel hits it.

Notably, Linux support sucks with those. I have one, and you can’t do any of this on Linux through their software. There are ways to do it still though, as you can do with any controller really.

Well, the one where his ear got scratched, the FBI refuses to investigate it. That definitely makes me curious. They also seemed to have set positions for photographers to get his picture as he raises his fist with the flag in the background. There’s certainly some strange things going on with that.

I’m going to be honest, and I think this is unpopular, but Andor ruined Rogue One for me. I thought it was one of the better Star Wars movies, but Andor sets such a higher bar that it’s somewhat annoying in comparison. It could have been so much more. Now it’s just yet another mostly mindless action flick. Yeah, it’s technically the continuation of Andor’s story, but there’s just so much different about him that it might as well be another character. His story ends perfectly in Andor that I can mostly just not bother with Rogue One.

I don’t think much, or any, of that is going to recovery programs though.

I agree with everything. I want to add, a lot of drugs have been used since the stone ages. Animals, not just humans, tend to use drugs fairly commonly. It’s only a modern thing to think they’re purely bad.

With that said, modern drugs often remove them from their cultural context, and are in higher purities and larger quantities than are naturally available. Chewing on a coca leaf is a lot different than doing cocaine, even though they’re largely the same thing (though the coca leaf has a lot of stuff that’s removed in processing to make cocaine). Cultures where it’s common, it doesn’t cause nearly the same issues as cocaine does in other places, because they don’t have the same culture around it and are sometimes getting a lot more.

I agree though; people should be allowed to do what they want. The government shouldn’t be deciding it for them, and neither should advertising. They should be free from pressure either way to decide what they want to put into their body.

You didn’t answer why that makes it better. What functionality does it give us that we don’t have if we use two reference points from different things. I’m pretty confident there aren’t any. This is proven especially true because that’s not how Celsius is defined anymore, and it didn’t lose any functionality. It sounds more “pure”, or whatever, but that doesn’t make it better. Do you have an actual reason that it improves its functionality?

Apollo, yes. I don’t think it’s for reasons you might be implying (what are they, that they’re going to space to kill stuff?). They have to have people who can endure high-gs and stress. Pilots are already proven for this. A civilian they have to test and train up from nothing. I don’t think it’s some kind of secret military plot. It’s just convenience and accessibility.

Fahrenheit was set to 0 on the lowest temperature someone could achieve at time. And 100 was set to the body temperature of the human body. Totally two comparable points of measurement.

It’s not the coldest someone could achieve at the time. It was chosen because it’s a reliable low temperature that will consistently be produced by a particular brine solution.

Celsius uses the melting point of water as 0.and then uses, revolutionary, the same water when it changes its state from liquid to gas.

That doesn’t really make it better, does it? How does that make it better? It sounds like it makes it better, but functionally what’s better about it? What functionally is made superior by defining it as two stages of one thing rather than stages of different things? As long as the temperatures are reliably reproduced, it’s functionally the same. Sure, being a measure of water does make it more useful when you care about water (at sea level, and only at sea level), as I said before. It doesn’t generally make it better though.

That’s not totally true. Sure, many are military, but not all. I think all of the pilots are though, for obvious reasons.

I agree with you, that it’s a pretty fucked up statement to make. However, I always try to view these from the perspective of these people. They want help. The best way to get this help is by saying they like Putin, so he should be doing more for them. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, you don’t attack the only person who can help you.

I have no way to know what these people actually did or believed. I think they’re bad people for not at least speaking out sooner. However, I also don’t take their statement as purely honest. I don’t ever think desperate people begging for help are honest. It’s the same reason I don’t trust admissions of guilt to police when police are effectively torturing and threatening people. They’ll say anything to improve their situation, whether it’s true or not.
