A Reddit Refugee. Zero ragrets.

Engineer, permanent pirate, lover of all things mechanical and on wheels

moved here from lemmy.one because there are no active admins on that instance.

  • Trump Attacks Pirro After Evidence Collapses Olympian Vandalism Case - News Facts Network

    Jump

  • I guarantee all the original damage would have occured no matter the quality of the liner. The Presidental limo is north of a 20,000lb vehicle. It has higher ground pressure than a semi truck, and any amount of low speed turning is going to generate a ton of tire scrub because of the special high load wide handling tires they use.

  • As Reddit stock falls, CEO questions value of Google's AI Overviews

    Jump

  • Tbf maybe people aren't visiting reddit as much because they can't open or view anything from the search engine without an account? And if you make an account you're gonna get randomly banned sitewide a week later for existing wrong?

    Can I create a Lemmy account without email?

    Jump

  • No but it is trivial to use email spoof/temporary email signup sites to get the verification email. You won't need it again except for a password reset, which you're SOL on if you do it that way.

  • Maybe walking ain't that bad

    Jump

  • There's a drought on, watering grass is a total waste

  • Justice Department drops criminal case against ex-Olympian charged with damaging Reflecting Pool

    Jump

  • Hell, even if it was cured, I guarantee those vehicles destroyed it. The armored vehicles the president rides in are insanely heavy, heavy to the point of them having ground pressure same or higher than a semi truck.

    Scott Wiener’s LGBTQ+ record is long & unapologetically loud

    Jump

  • So glad to have Weiner fighting for gay rights ✊✊

  • ASML shares plunge following reports of Chinese breakthrough in chip manufacturing. China has begun producing advanced chip manufacturing equipment, the very same that made ASML a major player

    Jump

  • ASML is Dutch.

  • What's a silly pet name or term of endearment I can use for my partner?

    Jump

  • I've used "darling" a lot, especially when I was dating a non-binary person.

    My current gf and I use "goober" or "goobie" a lot as an old inside joke thats just part of us now.

  • Planning to upgrade GPU from Nvidia to AMD. Any pitfalls I should know about?

    Jump

  • I don't know about the 3000 series but when I went from a 970 to my 7900xtx, my old Linux kernel physically didn't even support it's basic VGA mode and I had to swap distros to get it to boot. That was like years ago and an old version of mxlinux though, so I doubt you'll have that issue.

  • Several US schools to install pepper-spraying drones to respond to school shootings

    Jump

  • Something tells me thry won't be using them specifically for school shootings.

  • WSJ: Trump Admin To End Medicare Drug Subsidies

    Jump

  • to bring down Medicare medicine costs by 600%, 700%, 1500%?

    Only half lie. Percentage was correct. Direction was not!

  • Fettuccine and pork sausage

    Jump

  • Sausage as your protein option in pasta is severely overrated imo. I do it a lot. The savory/umami it brings is a good counter to tomato acidity.

    You have to make sure you drain the fat off the sausage though or it'll kinda separate the sauce and be all weird.

  • Meet Flock's Alpha Drone – It Reads License Plates from 2,000 Feet

    Jump

  • If the drone falls out of the sky and hits someone, that sounds like the fault of the person choosing to fly it in a densely populated area. Drones have hardware failures all the time.

  • Prusament launches "PA11 Natural" filament- plant based PA nylon without fiber fill for mechanical parts

    Jump

  • I wouldn't call CF a total scam, the dimensional stiffness (not strength) improvements are very real- but they are very much the wrong solution for the vast majority of 3d printers.

  • How can Americans view their soldiers' deaths as tragic events, despite the U.S. initiating wars and killing other countries' civilians without justification?

    Jump

  • The death of any soldier is a tragic event. They are at the end of the day just a human being who had wants and desires.

    Sure, there will always be some select zealots who really did sign up for "the love of the game", as it were. But the vast majority of almost all enlisted or conscripted forces are a bunch of regular folk who are either forced into this by desperation or necessity, or fed enough curated propaganda that they think they're doing the right thing- and don't know any better.

    This applies to even the worst countries, US, russia, even Nazi Germany; most of Germany's troops in WWII were a bunch of scared kids scammed by propaganda or forced into the service when Hitler's back was against the wall.

    And that's really the crux of it- That soldier died because of their leader's actions, and that's where the blame should lie. Lemmy's insatiable dehumanization of most "colonizer" military forces is frankly downright disgusting.

  • For a 2nd time, House approves resolution to end the war in Iran in a rebuke to Trump

    Jump

  • what is interp and why in some games (like TF2) if you make it too high/low some servers kick you?

    Jump

  • Interpolation, even at the highest settings, has a limit. If multiple data packets from the server are missed in a row, either due to the server hanging or your internet choking, the client basically gives up on guessing where everything is and the world pauses.

    As soon as it gets a fresh game state from the server though, it then has to reconcile the paused client game state (wrong) with the server where stuff kept happening (right). It does that over the interpolation interval to get back in sync, so the world appears to run super fast.

    That basically never happens today because of how far hardware and connections have come. It can, it just doesn't. And I think they've improved the netcode's stability a lot since the olden days so the server doesn't hang nearly as much as it used to.
