It's actually because of wind resistance, the air is moving the same speed as the ground when the earth turns so you don't feel it.

(don't @ me I'm just following what I recognized to be a humorous pattern of technically correct "well actually"s)

Thanks for reminding me! Maybe I'll have pancakes for dinner tonight ๐Ÿ˜…

Am I the only one who actually looked for more pixels for this guy?

Anywho, here you go my guy:

Edit: hmmm, Lemmy seems to be compressing it. Here's a link.

Did the same thing. Easy peasy

Nope, made it scarier.

Also bad is when the big flakes are coming down heavy, flying over your windshield, lit up by your headlights. It's like your flying at light speed, hard to see the road

Don't need to go to China for this. Back when Michigan had real winters, less than a decade ago, this was a regular occurrence.

My cat is not listed.

We found him on our porch. When people ask his breed we just say porch cat.

Name is Fluffy.

Asking the real questions

Small high power flashlight, about the size of a tube of m&ms. People laugh at it all the time, but it comes in handy weekly, sometimes daily.

Think of how many times you pull out your credit cell phone light. Now imagine being able to light up a room like daylight if need be. Very useful.

Those same people who laugh, eventually realize the value, and come asking for my light when we're together and it's needed

I keep a pair of those loop ones in my backpack for the same reason

Well, also no. I mean, I do, and so do many of my friends. But many people rely on all seasons. It's... Not the best plan. But a lot of people do it.

This is us basically. Though we're pretty busy, so we usually try to cook 2 maybe 3 meals a week, and eat the leftovers on the days in between.

Don't get me wrong, we cook good stuff, we just purposely make a lot. I'm not going through all that effort for one tiny meal, unless it makes sense to do so, like we won't be home for meal times or something so it would go bad.

But we keep some premix stuff around, and I have a few fast but not so healthy scratch recipes I can whip up in a jiffy. That's usually us on Tuesday nights.

I've got one where I literally just throw rice, chix broth, frozen precooked (by me) chicken, frozen mixed veggies, and garlic/other spices into a rice cooker. That way I can just slap it together, jump in the shower, and eat quick before leaving again. Sometimes life is just that way.

 

I'm trying to configure the gyro to help me aim. I've tried every configuration I can think of, or find online. I'm slamming head into a wall.

From what I can tell, the game now only accepts "steam controller" input. Which means the right joystick isn't actually a joystick, it's a weird virtual joystick, and there's some conversion going on. So when the old methods for getting gyro input are used, ie "as joystick" or "as mouse", the input is completely ignored by the game.

I've tried configuring a fresh controller configuration based on a standard controller, but then the game things I'm trying to use a keyboard and mouse and ignores all controller input.

Now, if I set gyro to "right stick (steam controller logo)", then suddenly the gyro starts affecting the right stick. But instead of being a relative input, as in when I pull the left trigger to aim, use the current gyro position as zero, and all relative movement should be applied to the stick. Instead it is an absolute value, with the movement being relative to the calibrated location of gravity down. So when I pull the left trigger, I immediately stare into the sky.

I think the solution to this is the "auto world tilt" option, but that is only available in the "gyro to joystick" configuration, which of course doesn't work.

Am I missing something completely obvious here? Can someone please guide me in the right direction? I miss gyro aim.

Thanks

 

Hi there, I've been wanting a framework for awhile now, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I was perusing the website today, comparing the price and performance of different configurations, when I realized that the 16 needs a 100w power adapter, 180w if you've got the graphics card.

This is a dumb question, because obviously it would charge fine with the lid closed and idling or turned off. Or I could just upgrade my power adapters. But I have a lot of 65w USB C PD chargers in my house and cars, and I was wondering if anyone has tried using them, and if so how effective is it?

Like, 180w is a lot of power. If I'm just working on spreadsheets or something, I'm imagining it would charge just fine? Under a heavier load I would probably start to slip backwards? Where's the line? Movie watching? Light gaming?

Just food for discussion I guess, I still haven't pulled the trigger haha.

Thanks!

The civet processed beans? I'm wondering if it's all hype? Or worth buying a bag to try?

Edit: Thanks for the responses everyone! I'm gonna pass on it ๐Ÿ‘

 

I'm new to backpacking, did my first trip this year with a hammock and had a great time.

Trying to get my wife into it with me. We're planning on going to Iceland in September, no trees. Plus she sleeps cold so she'll probably be more comfortable if we're in the same tent.

I'm looking to spend as little as possible, we're really not sure this will be our thing going forward, it might just be something I do solo. And we already have a big six person tent for glamping with a big air mattress.

I'm hoping for under $200, less if possible.

But I also don't wanna buy garbage, or carry something excessively heavy.

Suggestions?
