Yeh that's fair enough. I suppose it depends what year we're talking about but it's probably reasonable to assume all these photos are staged really, cameras won't have been a common thing. They're mostly going to be directed by a photographer, and for a picture that clean it will have had to be an expensive camera, probably on a tripod etc etc. I can imagine they they'd try to make the scene look how they wanted before taking the pic.
That's probably just a dibbler, it's for making uniform holes to put seeds in. Looks fairly legit to me, what would you say looks off about it?
When did that come in?
Probably not that they never had done it before, it was just the way common folks often did it. Cools the tea so you can drink it faster (Google "Saucering tea" to see more)Still, it was quite thoughtful of her to match the style of the person she was meeting.
Ok for clarity here's what I think happened1) silver car looks left, right, sees a bike approaching but this is a 30mph area and the bike is far away2) silver car starts his manoeuvre 3) silver car realises bike is actually going faster than expected, and that continuing his manoeuvre might cause the biker to hit him4) silver car stops dead, to leave space if needed5) biker is angry 6) car driver gets flustered
Of course they have a horn lol. Look up UK motorcycle MOT requirements. Also he revs it whilst stationary and the driver is staring down the barrel of his headlight. Even if it was the horn he pressed then it wouldn't have been an appropriate use. It's to alert other road users of your presence, not a "grr I'm angry" button.
Thank you. Seeing that made my brain itch a bit.
His reading of it for the audiobook version was great.
Odd rules like en passant? Or how the king can't castle if he or the rook has moved during the game so far? Or how you can't castle through check? All of these are "odd" rules that are there for balance reasons aren't they? Why are they different to saying you can't completely wall off your opponent in this game?
You can say the same for loads of games though, including chess etc. Should just offer them the win at that point.
Yeah I agree, it's a handy tool. I think we're a long way away from being able to feed in more general stuff but it can only be a matter of time. Imagine being able to feed it a bug ticket and it analyses multiple databases, and the codebase that works with it so it can find out why "sometimes the generated invoices have an incorrect value for tax on shipping" or whatever.
Yeah, it's good for things like basic functions you could write yourself in 5 minutes - now you get them in 5 seconds instead. "Write me some JavaScript to find out if a timestamp is within the last 5 years, and if it was on a leap year" kind of thing.

I ain't talking about no plastic cup
We've got a colony of these living on our rosemary bush! If we don't control the population by picking them off by hand a few times a year then it gets so bad the bush suffers quite a lot. Luckily they're pretty easy to spot in good light but they do like to hide out under the leaves.
Yeah it is more immersive in my experience as well - although to be fair those are some ridiculously large screens he's got. I expect with this rig he's just wanting to learn breaking points and lines more than anything, before he goes out for real. Having to memorize the layout of that dash (which looks like it's got a touch screen on the left and not physical buttons) might be a bit annoying. It's nice to have both options anyway, can't knock it for that!
Plus you can practice at any time day or night, from home.
Notice he's got a headset hanging there not being used. VR has it's downsides as well, like not being able to see physical buttons and switches, or what your hands are doing when you go to flick a switch. Especially relevant if that rig has dashboard buttons and readouts set up to match the real car he's training for.
I think that they are saying the layer is 11 miles thick, not that it starts at 11 miles down.
It's not Imgur, it's just people in general. In any large enough group there's always a few people at the top of the Dunning Kruger curve.
What did you think? Different vibes eh
You can hear it even more in his solo project, the nightwatchman
Don't forget his solo project the nightwatchman. Totally different vibe but really good stuff. Some of that material is a great example of why he didn't think Rage and particularly Audioslave was political enough for him.
Yeah and the reason it will never be legal to sell in Europe.
It's the sharp edges. Imagine getting hit in the knees at 20mph by popped up headlights, vs a rounded front end that has some "bounce" built in by design.
