My first game of FBC: Firebreak
  • Yeah, Firebreak is a terribly designed game. Not being explained how to repair things, not knowing what the "main" weapon of your class does, not being explained what the showers are or how to turn them on, not being explained how to use the ammo station, not being explained ANYTHING about the very fucky universe you get dropped into - it's all bad. And there is so much more badbi nor you mentioned, too. It has the bones of a potentially good game, but man, the main designer either needs to go back to school or the suits that made them change it so much need to be removed.

  • Map shows major US egg recall sickness spreading, death reported
  • Probably a lack of good information - with only a hundred odd cases and not having had much time to get the facts, I'm betting that's a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) and we'll have better info the more time has passed.

  • ‘Could become a death spiral’: scientists discover what’s driving record die-offs of US honeybees
  • I believe it would lead to fewer chances for the mites to migrate between colonies - i.e. more flowers == less bees per flower == less chance for a mite to jump from a bee to a flower to a bee/different hive.

    That's just a guess tho and my gut also says that climate change isn't helping.

  • ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing
  • The car doesn't have to be in self driving mode for the fault to be Tesla's - for example, the pedals on the cybertruck sliding off and sticking down the accelerator.

  • Why the $25,000 car is going extinct
  • Tl; dr: greed of the manufacturers + dealers and the fact that you can't live without a car in the US.

  • Kids' cavities would increase by millions if every state banned fluoride, study finds
  • While true, Germany does have fluoridated salt and fluoride rinses instead. Its just easier for USA water to be fluoridated since the water supplies are more unified. See https://web.archive.org/web/20170206122513/http://www.wda.org/wp_super_faq/european-countries-have-rejected-fluoridation-so-why-should-we-fluoridate-water

  • Overriding a Texas governor’s veto can be impossible. Lawmakers are trying to change that.
  • There would (should?) still need a 2/3rd majority to vote yes again, but you make a fair point. Especially given our current federal government.

  • Overriding a Texas governor’s veto can be impossible. Lawmakers are trying to change that.
  • Yes and no. Then the legislators could then pass all the bills at the end of a session and skip the governors ability to veto anything, which harms the separation of power that should be happening now. Really, just make it so the legislators can override a veto no matter when it was vetoed.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Then you misunderstand why the US helped set it up in the first place.

    Its not to keep the peace. Should it be? Oh yes, it should.

    Its not about justice. Should it be? Again, yes.

    It was set up to keep the USA, Britain, Russia, and others on the security council in power. In this way, the US flexing its might at the UN is par for the course.

  • [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?
  • People fuck with two ton rolling death machines every day. What are mechanics? What are car enthusiasts? You just have accepted that you can't touch the computer because they told you you can't. That's stupid.

  • [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?
  • I agree we should legislate it! But in the US, that isn't going to happen, and the EU also doesn't seem to quite have enough teeth yet to do it.

    And buddy, we play Russian roulette all the goddamn time. The people that modify their cars start off not knowing shit. Why would the computer in said car be any diferent?

  • AI driver: review of Mark Rober's LIDAR showcase
  • You clearly have no clue what you're talking about.

  • [Discussion] What would it take to selfhost some of the backend that Tesla's connect to?
  • That mentality is how we got here in the first place. A person should have a right to understand and repair/modify everything happening in devices they own. Because they don't, we get stuck in the shitty situation where Elon Musk can unlock any Tesla he pleases and I can't refuse to send my data to him. Or any other car manufacturer. Or tractor manufacturer. Or IoT manufacturer.

  • Northern Flicker on my tree

    I don't get too many Flickers around, so when I see one I try to get a picture.

    A good guide to some useful widgets.

    They're not quite "mods" - per BAR's own FAQ, full modding is not supported quite yet as BAR is still in Alpha but these widgets are possible.

    Latest Map - Eight Horses - Large 4v4, 5v5, 8v8 Map

    I've only watched this one played 8v8 by inexperienced players but the water portion could make it interesting. Will have to try a 3v3 match on it just to see and I hope it adds some spice to the the 8v8 competitive scene.

    Pausing games: Good idea? Or not?

    I feel like the ability to pause multiplayer games is maybe not good for gameplay. I get players have stuff come up during a game but it isn't the fault of the up to 15 other people + spectators.

    However, if I'm just playing with a couple of friends and it isn't competitive, being able to pause because my teeth are floating is nice. They're not gonna just quit and give me the win because we paused.

    What are y'alls opinion on being able to pause?
