Honestly, I'm pretty sure they post any old brain rot here and then have an AI fabricate supporting articles online just to mess with us...

That's proper mental, I don't know why you'd keep that running unnecessarily (unless fiddling with something you can easily replicate).

Im pretty sure it's still not going to catch the stuck things that aren't actually killable

Your replies have been so good, I'm bumping this whole thread.

Fucking A grade internet fight, lads - don't stop now!

No I love it - that's why we're here.

I learned something today and hope to gently explain it to my degenerating/conservative father (but let's not get into that kettle of fustercluck!)

If anyone else is struggling, this reasonably basic article helped me https://sciencenotes.org/genotype-vs-phenotype-definitions-and-examples/

Thanks for 'coming out' about it. Without doxing yourself too heavily, would you mind to share more about the industry in particular or measurement of these practises? Dip you know if it was common (and when was this?)

I know for sure that we can't trust companies to act in our best interests (if anything, its a hostile relationship), but I guess I'm curious about your inside perspective. Has that jaded you much at all?

Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Funny the fictions we contrive for ourselves in our own heads.

There's a real need to get ones world view/beliefs and the insecurities and inner critics in line in order to survive it seems.

That's my latest conclusion, anyway. Distraction and drinking haven't really helped. Shocking, I know...

Has anyone got anything similar to Épiphanies exceptional L'aube? (sh.itjust.works)

This is a phenomenal (but short) album, has anyone got other equivalent they're sleeping on?

bandcamp

It's very proggy, which I love, but also very heavy. Super-tasteful use (sparse!) of blast beats, etc

Dunno why, it just seemed funny

so sky city might be losing it's licence... (www.rnz.co.nz)
 

I'm delighted about the chance of this even happening. I'm under no illusions, however after the abortive duopoly review of our supermarkets. But this isn't comcom and had a clearer harm to the community, so maybe it'll happen?

God, I'd love to see it revoked entirely, but maybe there'll be some clearer oversight...

The company said it had invested significantly in systems to maintain the highest standards of host responsibility best practice, and prioritised minimising the impacts associated with problem gambling.

As. If.

A noob getting started with open rct2 (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've been starting to play around with rct2 and am amazed at some of the dense examples I've seen - this game is really deep!

I'm still using the premade rollercoasters (honestly, just getting the pathing right for them is complex enough!!) and am really struggling to get the ramps to connect without massive amounts of stuffing around. I've only just realised with the elevated ones I can have the path coming off them remaining elevated which tends to help with the pathway / track collisions, but I'm not even sure how I did it!

I hate sitting through mindnumbing YouTube videos as typically they're completely uninsightful (rct2 might be a different situation, I suppose, especially being a beginner), I feel like jumping in and learning as I went might've been a mistake...

Are there some tips I'm missing and how the hell am I supposed to see the entrances and plan the paths without buying the coaster and hoping it going to work? (I've rebought the same thing several times when I can't get it working!)

Cheers

what is the best way to drop out a threaded screw? (sh.itjust.works)
 

So I've got some rusty old floor screws that I can't loosen with a Phillips head (they're old, so I'm betting it's not posidrv). The notches are all rusted and it hardly bites at all.

If I drill them out, I know I'm in for a hard time but am I better off going for a really fast rotation or slower?

And should I start with a narrow drill bit and work my way up (historically I've broken a few doing this in the past) or just begin at the intended diameter?

Yes, in fact I do work with computers - isn't it obvious?

'Religious debate' time! Check in with your tire pressure... (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'm curious what other folks are doing pressure-wise.

I'm fairly lightweight (70kg, possibly after lunch? With back pack and water, who knows? I usually carry extra tools, etc...), and run 2.6" 27.5/650b tires.

Rear is around 20psi, but it's tubeless so I generally catch it once it's slipped down to 15 or 17 after a few weeks :). I've just realized I'm not even sure what the tire is, but it's a maxxis brand, so probably actually 2.4" wide compared to most other companies - not much clearance on my Intense Recluse

My front is usually about 18psi, on a specialized 2.6" somethingorother (pretty sure it's not a butcher)
