I call them x-cretions. So you x-crete them.

I would pilot the redeemer under the map, come up and through their base before detonating in their spawn point. The number of Mega kills I got off that was ridiculous.

I thought the same about BotW. Between the lack of story by default (you have to search it out through specific pictures that you damn well be able to know the landscape and match it up) and the sparse music and themes of previous Zelda games. It felt like the SMB2 of Zelda games, you could have titled it something else with a different protagonist and it would have been its own game.

Ml is a ticking time bomb. Mali is starting to take back its domain and lemmy.ml could go offline at any time. OP specifically noted that too.

I know everyone likes to tout VR, but I really think that AR will be the sweet spot most people ultimately adopt. Add it into nice looking glasses (sorry Google Glass, not it) and have some sort of easier to use interface that can interact with your surroundings and that will take off.

Imagine being in a business meeting with a little pop up over each person's head with their name, title and other interesting information you need to know. Or be at a baseball game and have similar stats pop up above each player's head. Turn by turn directions overlaid directly on the street. There are endless possibilities (as long as the ads don't get in the way, but even for them, imagine green screen billboards that can display unique ads too).

as recently as 2005

You do realize that's almost 20 years ago. That's like saying "well you realize in 1985..." Back in 2005.

(The 2000s have been a blur for me time wise too)

 

Was just watching Jack Ryan Season 3 and seeing the display of force and their movements causes some interesting dissonance given what we know now.

So I'm gonna add something here... It annoys me that managers can't form or be part of a union. Far too often low and mid level managers and supervisors get shit on just as much and have to parrot the company line coming from the higher ups that are trying to push it. I wish they could be better empowered too.

Showerthoughts in a nutshell. Even when I went through and verified every rule was correct it was still removed. Modmail just responded "well you broke one of the rules" and would never explain which one or how.

GM is on a roll... dropping base models, raising prices and removing CarPlay/Android Auto... Easy to guess which direction that roll is going.

I'm just waiting for post functionality, but this is the Sync that I know and love.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah Sync hasn't gone done yet, it's been the instance which lately is lemmy.world being the target of DDoS attacks. When that happens I switch to an alternate account and things are running fine again, so it's not Sync related.

Hear me out on this one...

Trump signs the pledge. Since the RNC is a private body they can technically choose anyone they want and choose someone not Trump. Trump sues them bringing the question of the RNC/DNC into play. Trump further runs independent causing the RNC to sue him to keep him off the ballots (again also putting the RNC/DNC into question). While things work their way in the courts, Republicans have a split ticket problem.

 

Does anyone know of a digital player or Android app that supports DVD ISOs to include the menus and chapters? I've found quite a few that can handle BD and UHD ISOs but any that support DVD ISOs are janky at best. I have a large number of DVDs I want to back up and not convert them to MKVs because I want the menus and extras too.

 

So when first launching Sync, it has a default of anonymous browsing on lemmy.world and then you can add an account for any instance you have a log in on. Is there a way to add anonymous accounts on other instances so you can browse their local communities without posting?

 

Does someone know why Cathay Pacific and other airlines use different codes for airplanes than what Boeing has listed? For example they list a 777-367 which seems to be a variant of the 777-300 but I can't find any information on what makes it a 367 vs a 300. Is that just the code that CX uses for the 777-300s they own? I also notice they have odd ones like A321-251NX, A330-343X and such. So what do those non-normal model numbers mean?
