The relevance here is that mid-drive uses the chain since the motor is near the pedals, hub drive powers the wheel directly. So in this context, they no longer need to worry about the durability of the chain versus powerful motors.

Have you tried… not arresting the few that try? Turns out we talk to each other.

Yeah, considering the image already shows 7 of them…

I will say, I’m a little surprised Trump didn’t use just the headline without the article to claim crime is down because of the deportations. I know he wouldn’t be able to back it up with data, but when has that mattered to him?

I guess the illusion of crime being up is still more important to him than pretending he can pat himself on the back.

You could try applying something to the actual window, like a fake wooden “pane split” whatever the real name for that is. Put one on the inside and the outside, so it doesn’t look weird. Just make sure the wood is weather proofed. Even the inside one will likely see decent humidity and moisture some seasons.

Options for the right adhesive.

Kinda sounds like CEO wanted to fire you, and manager had to stick their neck out to keep you.

Gonna guess, basically the same thing. Easy answers to hard questions instead of you having to think about them.

So, as far as they would be concerned, the only reason more people haven’t chosen that path must be because they don’t know how much easier it is, and how much less they have to think about stuff.

They can’t see that building skill and knowledge has value beyond the extra effort.

Yeah, when I first started VR back with my DK2, I could only wear that about 2 hours at a time. Over the years, not sure how much of it was me adapting to it and how much was VR headsets and aftermarket mods getting better, but I can and often do, spend 16 hours a day in VR now.

VR has replaced almost every screen in my life. I watch TV and movies on it, I play my traditional computer games on it(flat or 3D or fully converted to 3rd or 1st person VR), as well as my native VR games. With recent headsets being able to fully bring the real world back in and blend it with the VR perfectly, I just socialize equally with the people that are actually in the same room as me, as well as people who just -seem- like they are in the same room as me. The only screen it hasn’t replaced yet is my phone, some people and companies had made some inroads into incorporating phone stuff in VR, but that didn’t really take off. And also I still make sure I can see the real TV everyone else can see when hanging out with my family. So I can be involved in the conversation around what we/they are watching. And yes, the Quest 3 can see TV screens clearly in passthrough, previous headsets struggled there. I can even read the closed captioning.

To me and my family, it just feels normal now, my sister is also pretty much at the same point. I got her to try it a couple years ago when she was upset that certain games she wanted to play from the couch or recliner didn’t look or run well on her Steam Deck. I was like, you have an amazing computer, you could be playing those games at 4k and not have to be looking down at your hands if you just try it in VR like I do. So she did try, and she has never gone back. She uses my Quest pro, I use a Quest 3, I only modded the pro for about 8 hours runtime, since the controllers were only 8 hours anyway. But since she is mostly using it for PC games, she is generally using an xbox controller. So she just plugs the headset into a charger at her seat. Because 8 hours wasn’t enough.

Ok, well that has veered off topic, sorry.

I really hope, and should probably assume, this is a joke post. But I feel like even though it must be, I’m gonna fall for the bait, as the character you have presented yourself as would have missed out on so much. But I’m gonna explain it in what is hopefully a worthwhile read so it’s not a waste.

The reason a RealD 3D movie is so bright and blurry without the glasses on is that the scenes for both eyes are projected at the canvas. The light from both images is polarized to perpendicular angles with each other. The glasses have different polarization for each eye that only let in the light from the image intended for that eye. So with the glasses on, it will not only be back down to the correct brightness, but will be 3D instead of blurry, as each eye is only seeing one image now. A properly shot image from exactly far enough away from the other eyes view point, so as to seem as though you saw the scene with your own eyes to start with.

Yeah, one of the nice things about it was that not only was it proper 3D, but it was a showcase of how 3D could and should be done. If anyone didn’t watch it in 3D in the theaters, the only other option for seeing it as intended is VR now.

I’m in the camp of people that has watched it and the second one multiple times. Made sure to catch them in theater first, I rarely bother to see movies in theater. But at home I watch them in my VR theater in perfect 3D, the visuals are actually better in my setup(4k raw videofile on Virtual Desktop, tuned to the exact size and distance I want the screen to be), the sound isn’t quite what a theater would do, but mostly cuz I don’t actually like how “big” they go with the sound at theaters. I’d rather it feel like I’m there, than being so over the top. My audio at home doesn’t have to drown out a crowd of people.

I think the whole experience in VR is better than theater, the movie presents better at a reasonable volume and soundstage.

Hehe, I like how they dumped the extra marker swipes on the first name instead of getting rid of them when they had too many, makes it look like he decided to cross out his own name a few extra times for good measure.

As you can see from your image, they corrected you on their name.

You can either embrace the ADHD, or fight it. Ultimately which you prefer is up to you and your individual situation. The downside of embracing it is for sure gonna be financial, the downside of fighting it is gonna be emotional/mental anguish.

Having a new hobby every month can be fine if you know it’s gonna be the thing. Don’t invest too heavily even if it “really feels like this is finally the one”. Or, you can focus on a hobby that does constantly change, videogaming is of course one example. The other thing is, you may develop the ability to steer your interest back to previous hobbies. Just know that there is a bit of a wall to climb to get back into a hobby you dropped, it’s gonna feel a whole lot taller of a wall than it really is but a little push can be enough to clear it without burning out.

Edit: joining a social community for each hobby is a good way to naturally swing your interest back to it every now and then.

Entertainment is valuable, it’s what helps us get through the stuff we don’t want to do. Looking forward to, or fondly remembering back on, the stuff we did/do for fun.

Budget for it. If what you want fits in that budget, and there is no other downside preventing you, then go for it.

In fact, it’s very clear his entire intent is to try to make it impossible for them to claim he was reaching for something. And they still claimed it… like, if he had complied and reached to take off his seatbelt, they probably would have shot him…

It’s so hard to tell, cuz he barely “had it” to begin with.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was some sort of loophole created by deregulation though. They are still horrible too for taking advantage of it if that is the case.

I love that he goes to get the medal back from him, see’s him pocketing it, and just makes a face and a derisive thumbs up. Like, “yep, guess I should have expected that”.

Could sort of be described that way. But they basically just shape the sound in a way that your ear hears it with the specific acoustic distortion that normally cues your brain that the sound came from behind you. Or wherever.

So in the sense that a hologram is using different properties of shaping light to trick your eyes that something looks different than it really does, then yeah, audio hologram sort of fits. And similarly, it only works if your ears are exactly where they expect them to be, just like a hologram with your eyes.

While you should never do it in public, those phones with the virtual 3d sound field speakers are starting to get pretty decent to listen to music on. Still, never listen at higher volumes, cuz that breaks it. But it’s pretty awesome for any volume level where it can manage the right level of base for the song.

Specifically what it’s doing is making it so each ear only hears the part that is meant for it, and doesn’t get the bleed over from the other speaker. Virtual stereo isolation, the Switch 2 also does it in standalone mode. But yeah, of course, that only works for the primary user, anyone in the wrong physical location relative to the speakers won’t get the effect. And actually it’ll just sound weird to them.
