just a midday rage ๐
i really start to hate cars,
got this office between 3 parks, overlooking the tree tops, was cheap and lush, imagine pink cherry blossom pretty.
but since a few years the council sends all traffic along our tiny two lane road... its so fucking noisy, dirty, smelly and outright dangerous, people get rammed by cars daily, constant traffic jam, honking horns, screaming people, metal on metal... not just tiny cars, no every fucking cunt here drives an SUV, we dont even have mountains or somin, and of course the industrial area needs all that toxic and flammable gas and whatnot.
seen a bicyclist getting rammed of his bike the other day and the car ran off, called the cops, told em the plate etc, they didnt give a shit.
i mean im not even in a car and i am road raging lol.

didnt even know it happened until i got angry mails by other modders about it

What happened?
hollow dawn
vortex
nexus started to introduce "mod lists" that you donwload and manage via vortex
and with it changed its whole EULA to now be able to fuck every actual modder in favor of those great list "curators"
they get $ for downloads from their lists... modders get all the work, and modders aint allowed to ever pull their mods from nexus or have to kill their account all together
tulip orbit
Oh, that sounds crappy

Totally impossible to detect.

Imagine the following: You are traveling at half the speed of light, along a line from which you may only deviate 1 m. The line is not straight but oscillates up to 4.5 km sideways, 23 times per second.
This is a scaled version of the control task in a DVD player, where the pick-up head needs to follow the bit-track. The real numbers are 3.5 m/s, with maximally 0.022 ยตm deviations from the track. A disk is always slightly asymmetric, causing it to oscillate up to 100 ยตm per rotation, and the rotation speed is up to 23 Hz (for single speed).
how the heck is it even aware of where the track drifts off?
can it calculate that from how the light is broken on the side of the track? oO
