i got a skate!!!!!!!!!
and guess what
i will not be able to go to a club today because my ankle hurt from yesterday

it is a cruiser... i will use in addition to public transport

which is when you do a trick opposed to yours stance (regular vs. goofy)
fathom wadi
hardest trick I ever did was an ollie half flipped into a 360 pivot then flipped out with a kick and landed. Took me what felt like thousands of attempts. I did it in front of some mates, said "I'm done" and never skated again.
zinc matrix
and at the front nose vs. rear
hehe
i stopped when we went to jump staircases and grind on edges of stuff
i always predicted my death on these things
pearl elk
hardest trick I ever did was an ollie half flipped into a 360 pivot then flipped...
The greatest trick I ever pulled was convincing the world I didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.
fathom wadi
yeah when I started skating I thought it would be easier than it was. Took me about 200 attempts to even ollie properly, but then one day I did a hip high ollie and it was easy from then. But everything else I tried was bloody impossible. Even trying an Impossible 😄
I was never good at grinds either. You could have use phys-x in real life and I still would have just stopped dead on a curb or bench
zinc matrix
i never tried
i jumped a stair of 4-6 "levels?"
and that was it
a shame, one of the guys went pro and it is living abroad
can you imagine, we lived in a condom , around 8-12 boys skating the entire day
people hated us
fathom wadi
yeah jumping stairs never really peaked my interest. I was more into the combo stuff. Trying to do a flip into something else.
never managed to get a decent manual down either. People make it look easy but holy moly nope.
The kids these days who skate do ridiculous stuff like they were born without gravity.
zinc matrix

just take a look at some pro videos of early 2000s vs. now

Actually, I can't. I took the some big data models and fittted them toward one of the Earth render example assets. In this particlar case, it is 20k texture. The 80k diffuse can be achieved anyway, but more computational hurdle. Can show only some of the source assets, I even have the water masks (shown), heightmap (shown), clouds, night lights, speculars and shitton of others for climate like winds, biomes and whatnot.
fathom wadi
I never really fell hard on my board. I have a solid breakfall from judo so everytime I bailed I just rolled out. Worst damage I took was trying to 360 pivot one time practicing and I dinked my shin on the side of the board. It welted me pretty bad.

I once took my step down a roll-in, but it had this extra metal on the bottom to grind, but it was too low to go over the angle of the roll-in, so it got caught and I smacked down like 2.5 meters into the floor

Aye, it ain't so hard. Rendering can be a bit of a play, but there are already examples. Which was my point. Then you can complexify as much as you want.

celest musk
so you want to use old hardware which uses inefficient circuits?
zinc matrix
what is wrong with computers of 5 years of age?
specially if they would be optimized
celest musk
often nothing
zinc matrix
and no one is trying to push the new Lumen around
progress is nice but it does not mean we should not have breaks
after all, even a early 2000s computer is pretty darn interesting from some standpoint
celest musk
yea
considering that it does waste 200W of electricity for smth that a mobile phone with a few watt can do now
celest musk
On January 5, 2000, AMD released the 800 MHz Athlon processor. 😄
zinc matrix
i bet a concise and unified society can produce energy is a smart way anyway
celest musk
ok apparently 45W for the cpu
zinc matrix
i want my underwater headquarter T.T
celest musk
so the system would consume ~100W for that processing power
zinc matrix
imagine for example, this same society running on old hardware of 5 years ago, having cities on public transport and bicycles and skates?
how much watts of fossil fuels could go into power for homes?
imagine if everyone eat only vegetarian diets, how much of watts we would save too?
celest musk
ESP32-P4 RISC-V dual core 2x400MHz consumes probably less than 5W, maybe even less than 1W
zinc matrix
i want to put my cute hand on some RISC-V single-board computer one day
celest musk

i even reject a vehicle from dad & mom because i believe in bicycles and public transport

zinc matrix

zinc matrix
idk, we are pretty strange actually
celest musk

celest musk
yea that's true
soft night
celest musk
@proud jay which software do you use to create custom stuff?
proud jay
fusion360
it's pretty intuitive
the free "personal use" version is good enough
sometimes for really simple stuff tinkercad
just cause it's in the browser
but it is quite limited
celest musk
thx
proud jay
there's also a CAD that works by programming for if you're one of those "special" people
OpenSCAD
celest musk
yea i'm "special" but not that kind
proud jay
never used it but a friend of mine swears by it
Fusion360 is just really nice imo, you can make simple 2d drawing, extrude to 3d, all with paramters to tweak quickly later on
celest musk
and fusion also adds these "support" beams within a model?
celest musk
oh
proud jay
you import your model in the slicer and that turns it into gcode, aka instructions for your printer
celest musk
and they work reliable in terms of detecting what is considered inside and what's outside?
proud jay
most used ones are Cura and PrusaSlicer
yeah you can tweak it in 7 billion ways
it's quite good at what it does
only issues I've had was user error 😄

unreal ether
Well yeah. That's unfeasible. You are an indie, with I'm assuming little to no funding, whereas they have a whole team of professionals
You don't have to have a ton of cards. Just enough to where you can create interesting differing playstyles, and decks that can counter other decks
And enough variety to make it fun, without falling into a set card meta for guaranteed wins

you can put them on layers easy if you want
there's also plenty of slight variations on colemak

@proud jay do you work remotely?
zinc matrix
why don't you go to some cheap country
ah
most of the time*
actually now i remember... and there is your wife too
proud jay
also cause I don't want to live in a shithole
proud jay
what does that have to do with anything
zinc matrix
a shithole?
back-country of some country
since you are not gonna read Henry, here is a quote to inspire you go to the corn field,
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
proud jay
you can have shitholes in big cities too
zinc matrix
ah, for me cities are always expensive
proud jay
I mean city in belgium is gonna be more expensive than a city in syria for example

Nature is all cool, but where will the kids go to school? Will you drive them each day for an hour or more?
zinc matrix
can you move to syria?
proud jay
Nature is all cool, but where will the kids go to school? Will you drive them ea...
clearly the forest will teach them
zinc matrix
Nature is all cool, but where will the kids go to school? Will you drive them ea...
i will never have children
zinc matrix
but there are places in Europe cheaper than yours right?
proud jay
do you not understand that people build a life
zinc matrix
oh! you can always find new friends
soft night
dieter have you using stonks electriicty
proud jay
let me ask my whole family to move with me
zinc matrix
but 1800 euros for energy for me feels like depression
1800 * 5 = 9000, that is more than 15x times the amount of energy you use in a upper class house here
but your coin worth 5x more than mine
soft night
the energy prices have went up
proud jay
do you not understand that things are priced differently in different places
zinc matrix
hey, i do not like my parents because they eat meat and that is it
proud jay
I'm also making more money than the average rural Indian person I guess
unreal ether
Energy prices are insane rn
zinc matrix
and that is not a shore
proud jay
why are we talking about shores now?
unreal ether
Son of a beach
unborn lotus
i started to see immigrants working from India here, guess we're in the big leagues now
zinc matrix
I'm also making more money than the average rural Indian person I guess
yeah true, but you were commenting here
i thought it was a complain
soft night
dieter some have added solar panels to they roofs
proud jay
yeah true, but you were commenting here
that is not related
zinc matrix
yeah true, i only realized now
proud jay
if you make 200 euros a month in india and you energy bill is 180 euros, but if you make 2000 euros in belgium, but energy bill is 500, the 500 is more, but still better relatively speaking
zinc matrix
1800 euros is more or less what the middle class makes here with some lucky
oh well..
after all "poverty" is not a factor on being happy
of course, money matters but still
proud jay
idk what you think, but having to spend 1.8k does not make me poor
it's not like I'm living paycheck to paycheck
zinc matrix
hehehe i can imagine 
more or less of a "wow, 2k euros for energy"
Europe burns in coal and gas, no?
proud jay
gas and nuclear mostly I think
unborn lotus
idk what you think, but having to spend 1.8k does not make me poor
you won't afford that house now buddy
proud jay
yeah but the dumbass climate people wanna close the nuclear plants for some reason
unborn lotus
Europe burns in coal and gas, no?
Hydro and wind too
proud jay
even though they're actual the most climate friendly
zinc matrix
yeah just the waste that is not well managed in most of the places
i wonder why such a rich country does not have high investment in these things
rich country == rich region
proud jay
in what things
zinc matrix
brazil is poor and we have wind, nuclear and mainly from hydro
and they are pretty advanced actually
our nuclear facilities are not big but they are a good reference
zinc matrix
in what things
energy, for example?
soft night
gas is good too
zinc matrix
uhum
2k for each household
and Dieter is not the average person in Europe regarding salary, i bet
unborn lotus
He's way below the median
zinc matrix
who knows...
family here is: we will be placing solar panels all over the roof
then a law enters and says that we should pay a fee for month to do that, as returning energy costs in infrastructure
proud jay
yeah they're gonna do that here too pretty sure
zinc matrix
and they are like: we are not gonna support the brazilian government, stop the plans
proud jay
you can still upload energy now, but you get paid very little
pretty sure they're gonna charge you to upload your excess energy in the future
zinc matrix
yeah, the amount if pretty low here too
proud jay
He's way below the median
idk what median of europe is
soft night
soft night
finland energy cost is now 32€/MWh
soft night
ponkkis yeah and no regulation for smaller nuclear plants
proud jay
scammed
I wish I could
but city guidelines explicitely prohibit it
gonna put a shitton of solar panels
and home batteries once they're decent
wanna stay away from the government energy grid as much as possible
cause it's shit
and it's going to even more shit
F
zinc matrix
wait can they tax you if you do not connect to the grid?
proud jay
they already steal all my money
proud jay
wait can they tax you if you do not connect to the grid?
bro it's the government
they tax everything
zinc matrix
yeah sure, but not monthly fees, right?
zinc matrix
at least is better than paying 2k per month 😁
proud jay
we have one of the highest taxes in the world
proud jay
at least is better than paying 2k per month 😁
well shit if I had to pay 2k every month for energy, then I would be poor
could not afford to even rent anything
soft night
dieter when got how dept america is the yfound the way to add more dept
zinc matrix
i mean, just more a thing to fight for the right thing if you can
specially if you can
i love seeing some rich bubbles here wasting a freaking amount and not caring at all about the stuff
i mean, here in Brazil
will never make a difference anyway
but still, that is how the world gets shittier
unborn lotus
I think it's cyclical, prosperity, decline, collapse, repeat
zinc matrix
cyclical?
the rich is always rich
no matter if you lose some millions here and there
unborn lotus
I mean society
zinc matrix
i live in a city of ~2 millions, we have +5 stores of european imported vehicles
while you can buy the same technology, like porsche gear system and bmw engines in some local manufactures (that hold the right to produce this type of tech)
but no
a mini-cooper with an england flag is so coooool
and a car costing less than 3.5x times the price if not less is bad, with the same tech
and so on
cursive crypt
Do you have stereotypes? BMW & Audi are assholes in general around. Somewhat expensive Mercedes too.
cursive crypt
Their tech? Wdym?
zinc matrix
i am not buying the porsche shell
cursive crypt
I mean, their drivers.
proud jay
Do you have stereotypes? BMW & Audi are assholes in general around. Somewhat exp...
I drive an audi 😔
It's a company car though, didn't pay for it
cursive crypt
Well, you do have a dirty mouth.
proud jay
true
cursive crypt
But, ofc, that just general perception.
Interestingly, my car insurance company specifically has higher taxes for BMW & Audi
Which is a statistical sign.
proud jay
my company pays insurance 💃
I only pay a small tax for extralegal benefit
and that only depends on the emission of the car
so if you have a big dirty car you pay more
unborn lotus
Do you guys like Dacia cars?
proud jay
it's the cheaper version of Renault
cursive crypt
A Romania brand
proud jay
my mom had a dacia duster
I really liked it
it's the car I learned to drive with
good times
unborn lotus
Woah cool
unborn lotus
New Jogger Hybrid looks pretty cool
proud jay
hybrid cars are kinda useless though in a lot of cases
unborn lotus
Im thinking of buying an old van as a storage space for bikes and tools, maybe van camping...because a garage is like 15k euros, an old van is 1.5k
unborn lotus
I do, 10km both ways
City only
It would be almost all electric
Only have to recharge once a week
proud jay
our company policy is that you have to drive 60% electric if you have a hybrid
but like the cars they offer do like 40-50km on electricity
and HQ is 75km away for me lol
although regional office where I usually work is only like 27
unborn lotus
Are trains faster?
proud jay
no
cause the connection is shit
HQ is outside of the city in like an industrial park thing
trains don't reach there
so you have to take a train to the center
and then bike for like 20 min
unborn lotus
and then bike for like 20 min
If you were really fit you could bike all the 27 in an hour ⚡
unborn lotus
The dutch do have wind
I would buy this today if they ever release it in Europe: https://youtu.be/CioeuDSfi-I
But ofc never gonna happen...gotta keep that profit margin high
zinc matrix
have you ever piloted a penny board?
they are the beast on city locomotion
you can buy a spin-off which is basically the same thing for like 30$
just need a bit more practice
cursive crypt

But brakes? 🤔
zinc matrix
slides?
actually who needs break?
just synchronize yourself to traffic lights and you will be fine
unborn lotus
I like my skeleton as it is, thank you
zinc matrix
doing bicycle deliveries i could go for sometimes hours without braking
unborn lotus
Was it on a fixie?
zinc matrix
hehe
nah
fixies are for tracks
not for the streets
plus the city i live in is mild hilly
would be so dumb to use a fixed gear
unborn lotus
You'd get thick calves though
zinc matrix
yeah!
i went over 72,000 km already
but now i am retiring and skateboarding and public transport for moving around
unborn lotus
Not real sorry 😅
zinc matrix
that coms...
i would try to beat them all here
probably putting myself into dangerous situations
unborn lotus
Koms?
unborn lotus
I think they disabled koms on dangerous segments anyway
Like downhill
It's all about climbing
zinc matrix
we even removed the letter K from the alphabet in one of the grammatical reforms
unborn lotus
Kilograms no more?
unborn lotus
Portugese?
unborn lotus
Sepultura right? 😁
unborn lotus
That's KOM music
zinc matrix
my dad from time to time go happy for beating his friends koms
unborn lotus
What bike does he ride?
unborn lotus
Never heard of them
zinc matrix
i have a trek from 1997
my only bicycle actually
previously i had a moongose from 1998
i love old stuff
unborn lotus
520?
zinc matrix
i have a MTB gear on mine 😛
from time to time i pack my panniers and go to gravel roads to park at the beginning of hiking trails
unborn lotus
Can you swap wheelsets?
zinc matrix
up to 28
unborn lotus
Ah shame
zinc matrix
but i have fenders so the 25 one is the best
unborn lotus
You should get a gravel bike then
zinc matrix
nah i just retired bicycles from my world
zinc matrix
every-time i climb on one i think i will get into an accident
unborn lotus
Why
zinc matrix
and i never liked MTB stuff
i live like ~500 meters from gravel roads
but ugh!
that type of path is not meant for bicycles
seriously
at least i do not like climbing walls
zinc matrix
nah
i am just fine with my skateboard now
- walking
walking is freaking awesome
way much more detail appreciated
specially inside a city
proud jay
If you were really fit you could bike all the 27 in an hour ⚡
yes, but I don't wanna commute an hour one way lol
unborn lotus
But you'll get super fit
proud jay
and depressed from not being able to do anything else lol
proud jay
I used to take the bike to go visit family sometimes
which was 40km one way
but now I moved and it's only 2 km lol
and like 5 to my dad
still bike though
proud jay
nah I'm good
