adjective Of, relating to, or being a group of civilians organized in a military fashion, especially to operate in place of or assist regular army troops.
Literally the first Google result lol
Also said (kinda) paramilitary so settle down there guy lol
claps great recovery!
Paramilitary because of the rank and leadership structure. I’m not saying they’re doing combat training lmao
When I said paramilitary I was really just talking about the ranks and leadership structure.
Why the fuck would you get rid of boy scouts it’s literally a patriotic paramilitary (kinda) organization with a checkered past on sexual abuse that should be a Republican wet dream lol
Literally happens every time you get food from a place that serves you from a bar and STILL expects a tip.
Pretty sure she was just hot dude
Lol it even implies that living on the Western edge of a time zone increases your likelihood of breast cancer. Get the fuck out of here
And here’s a mountain goats song that I think captures the feeling really well!
Holy victim mentality
Honestly looks like a malfunctioning app to me. With propagation effects, the strongest radar returns should naturally be closest to the center of the circle with weaker returns as you go farther out.
In this case you’ve got strongish returns right up to what looks like the edge of the radar’s unambiguous range and basically no returns towards the inside… Which I don’t think represents any real phenomena. Looks more like the app is incorrectly rendering (or not rendering at all) the higher value radar returns, leaving that weird ring. Notice how there are some splotchy lower value returns towards the center though, which would be expected under normal circumstances.
Some antennas have active components (not just preamps) that require some kind of DC voltage to work properly. Pretty common in dedicated GPS antennas. They also have bias ts covering pretty much any band you can think of. Well into the GHz range.
Yep! You just get a prescription from the eye doctor and enter the values on the site. 20 bucks later and boom you have some very reliable and inexpensive glasses. I’ve been using these guys for years and had basically zero issues.
To be fair you can get a pair of glasses on Zenni for like 20 bucks.
Interesting ideas! I encourage you to make a prototype and see how it goes!
A couple open ended questions:
-What does the frequency response of a traditional pickup look like? Is it flat or does it ripple/drop off significantly? Is that corrected somewhere else in the audio chain before it reaches your ears?
-Human hearing only stretches to about 20KHz. If your pickups capture everything up to that frequency then you’re really not missing anything. I don’t know much about pickups but in my line of work 20KHz is a very small bandwidth, so I would guess it’s not difficult to build one that has a nice flat response over that whole band.
-Human hearing perceives different frequencies at different amplitudes. If your goal is to produce ‘perfect’ sound (i.e. undistorted reproduction of the vibration of the strings) perhaps it would make more sense to correct for that?
-Your idea of changing the orientation of the magnetic field that interacts with the field of the strings of the guitar is interesting. I’m guessing the majority of the signal picked up by traditional pickups is from the component of the string’s magnetic field that’s aligned with the axis of the pickup. However I would imagine regular strumming produces more vibration perpendicular to that axis than parallel to it. I could see your idea more effectively capturing that energy and producing a larger signal. That would probably give you better signal to noise ratio and effectively give you better sound quality. Whether it’s a perceptible change or not is a different story.
True but Daggerfall was definitely made with fast travel in mind as the main way to get around.
Honestly if they had just put a little more thought into the loot progression and made a couple systems more interesting it would have been a much better game.
The randomized empty open world planets wasn’t great but they also did that in Daggerfall so I don’t think it was totally unprecedented and still had some value if there was a better incentive to explore (in my opinion better and more interesting loot would have kept me exploring).
What pissed me off the most was the fact that when you built the armillary it literally showed up on the OUTSIDE of your spaceship and you couldn’t build it indoors in your settlements. What the fuck? You literally killed people for some of those artifacts. Why would you keep them outside for fucks sake?
Yep we had those train movies too! Kinda feels like a fever dream now.
They were called “I Love Toy Trains”
They have ranks that resemble military ranks (1st class, 2nd class ~ 1st lieutenant, 2nd lieutenant) etc and have a hierarchical leadership structure.
