Vehicle explosion

#

Likely being investigated

#

Officials say garbage and debris were on fire on the sidewalk. The flames spread to a couple of cars before the large explosion occurred.

summer cedar
#

From garbage and debris on the sidewalk, huh?

#

which magically drifted onto the cars?

#

Wokay... it's a weird country anyway.

mild gust
#

Saw someone saying it was caused by a celebration

summer cedar
#

That is more plausible.

mild gust

Because as we know Mamdummy got elected

Careful, there are idiots around who 'report you to the FBI'. ๐Ÿ˜›

Well, if they knock on your door, they'll find the maple meth.

You'll be deported.

mild gust

Scrape the walls of meth

Safety first.

That might be of better use.

queen isle

Unfortunately it's got be like a business landline phone not a regular smart phone

#

Unless they review those too

#

No idea

summer cedar
#

If said phone can hold a sim card, they probably do have it on the list.

#

Otherwise, no.

#

honestly im happier than ever i live in a rural as fuck texas town

white oxide
#

I got one for my company and personal line

#

beware they dont make them in the US, so i had to find its weird little brother with the same feature which doesnt get exported outside the us

#

apparently dual sim capability is becoming more common and affordable

#

i have mine because AT&T has a stupidly cheap unlimited talk and text at $20 a month, and then when i need to travel i can buy a single month of unlimited high speed data (actually just 160gb) for like $40 and throw that sim card in the phone

i wonder how much of its them having tried Ai for some stuff and learning its not the right tool, how much of its them originally following some lgb thing that marketing trends have told them will murder their game, and how much is simply them realizing that theres issues with the quality of learning and capabilities of a LOT of modern "professionals"

i liked being able to fuck off around the map from minute 1

without some stupid pointless terrain lock and minigame requirements

mild gust

5 had it's moments

#

But it's story line was kinda booty compared

white oxide
#

4's minigames just angered me and i never left the first island

mild gust
#

Also gta 5's physics was dog shit

#

Compared

white oxide
#

5's story was meh, but honestly as a chill mp game, it was nice

mild gust

Also cops in 5

Were so slack

Lol

white oxide

you seen the cops in 3?

they were nuts

and 6 stars... tank blows you up if you touch it

they are a bit

they dont keep dying to stuff

Nope. It's a unity code, apparently.

sadly theres not a lot of sci-fi and such assets out there, and fewer that are made by groups that might put their stuff into a bundle

median wraith

What's the most satisfactory strategy shooter you played?

#

To watch or to kill or so

#

What kind of enemy, what kind of weapon, what kind of design?

white oxide
#

that and fallout 4 if it counts

#

its story sucks balls but its combat is good and the guns are fun

#

especially the tesla rifle

median wraith
#

No I mean more like games where you don't shoot, strategy like usually top downs etc

#

Once the fps or TPS factor enters is a whole new world

#

Oh yeah that one is hard

#

I loved the other sub version that's side view more arcade

The most brutal one I played maybe was Men of War?

it's not entirely as it would suggest

it's more like hedging he's doing

--- Tesla shareholders on Thursday overwhelmingly endorsed a massive pay package for CEO Elon Musk that could reach $1 trillion.

The pay package -- crafted to ensure Musk's continued service to Tesla as the company pursues breakthrough technology on artificial intelligence and robotics -- won more than 75 percent support from shareholders, a Tesla official said at the company's annual meeting. ---

#

๐ŸŽบ

#

All hail the trillionaire! ๐Ÿ‘‘

proud jay
#

yeah very disappointing

#

not that he's ever gonna reach the goal

celest musk
#

hope he invests it in the catgirl thingy

proud jay
#

but still

#

I don't know about the inbetween milestones though

#

but the trillion dollar payout he's extremely unlikely to reach

#

like for the big payout tesla would need an 8 trillion dollar valuation and a 12 month adjusted ebitda of 400 billion

#

current mkt cap is 1.4tn and ebitda is 16bn (already down from 19bn last year)

#

so if he can do the company value x6 and the earnings x25 he would get it

summer cedar
#

This Michel Lotito guy is amazing.

#

Ate metal and glass, regularly.

proud jay

and the current PE ratio is already 318 lol, so idk how much more overvalued it could get if they don't start making real money

proud jay
summer cedar
#

Yep.

#

At least he didn't have to worry about calories.

#

Just chef-fing metal.

proud jay
#

It is estimated that between 1959 and 1997, Lotito "had eaten nearly nine tons of metal.

#

that's impressive tbh

summer cedar

If you eat a phone you can see those pics within forever.

Sadly, no. That's obsolete metal.

...and old plastic.

Hey, quick possibly-stupid question. Is kangaroo milk medicinal, or supposedly a remedy for anything?

median wraith
celest musk
#

the ferris wheel isn't supposed to turn on the z-axis

#

it does 90degree on y axis, then it starts to turn on z-axis

median wraith
#

How's the rotation setup done?

#

Just a rotation component?

celest musk
#

yea

median wraith
#

On positive rotation happen too?

#

That's absurd if is broken

#

Worst part nobody had the issue?

celest musk
#

happens on positive rotation, too

#

i don't even understand how they would do local rotation in the way the component does the math

#
const FQuat OldRotation = UpdatedComponent->GetComponentQuat();
    const FQuat DeltaRotation = (RotationRate * DeltaTime).Quaternion();
    const FQuat NewRotation = bRotationInLocalSpace ? (OldRotation * DeltaRotation) : (DeltaRotation * OldRotation);

this is all the math involved, pretty simple

#

but the world rotation can be anything, and not axis aligned

#

so the whole thing seems to be just poop?! unless i'm the idiot here...

#

yea i think the issue is that they do this all in worldspace even for local rotations

median wraith
#

If you check and uncheck the local space still the same?

#

Have the component any transform inside the BP?

celest musk
#

no, but the actor is rotated on Z axis

#

-30deg or +30deg

#

which likely contributes to the issue (but should not)

#

unless i misinterpret how a local rotation should behave ๐Ÿ˜›

#

the longer i look at it the less trivial it is

#

it's wild to have a rotation rate which could operate on all axis, without having a rotation order setting

#

did you try to reproduce?

#

set actor rotation to 0, -85, -30
and rotation rate to 0, -1, 0 and see it flip once it hits -90

median wraith
#

I could check later on older versions

#

Makes no sense if it's local, but usually I never use that component

#

And the over engineering of those rotation and move components it's a nightmare

#

The last time I checked it with correctora everywhere

celest musk
#

maybe they just used it wrong

#

and local only works well if it's part of a rotated scene and inherits that Yaw rotation, instead of introducing it to the rotation (the way they set it up the local rotation is the same as the world rotation in the demo map, as it's the root component)

my last freelance job paid ยฃ2,200/month but my duties were writing gameplay code, handling source code management, developing the DevOps for an MMORPG, helping artists train to use Unreal and everything else under the sun. It was such an underpaid job but I needed the cash at the time. Needless to say with me doing all that, and the fact the funding dried up, the project went nowhere. /Standard freelance stories
