Nah. First of all, VR headsets are great for working in a specific room, when one is standing in the middle of it. Not when you are looking down nooks and crannies. SteamVR would lose lighthouse tracking 100% of the time, disorient and grey out. It could actually be dangerous. Second, the passthrough cameras are ass quality. It won’t be enough to see cables well. They’re made with the idea of “I want to see where a dog-like object is, so I don’t step on my dog”. Three, headsets are heavy and tiring, especially if holding a phone is too much. Now you are holding two screens close to your face. You most likely cannot fit glasses well under them either. So you need to add prescription lenses, which make it usable by one person only.

What you need is a small wireless camera on a cap they put on their head, that’s connected to the PC to stream the video to you. It already adds complexity - where the camera needs to be charged, needs to be turned on etc, but not as much as a VR headset.

Then you add into it some sort of interactive board features. Slack for instance lets you draw on someone’s screen when sharing. Either two people would need to be there, one to look and one to see what you are marking, or you could just stream to their phone, where they see the output of the camera and you can mark / write on it to mark what you need to.

But yah, VR isn’t the tech for this.

Whitening isn’t really that expensive tbh

N and B are equal and loss of one depends on the current situation of the board :d

Forks and all of that comes with playing the game. It also comes from the easiest / most approachable way to play chess - puzzles. So far so, that it’s insanely popular on Facebook, where some guy pastes an amazing move from the past and a butt-ton of people stop and think about it.

Also, forks and stuff is often overkill. You can get to like 1200 rating by knowing like 4 - 5 moves in the start. Most games are decided by someone making a huge mistake. And in the first matches, that guy will probably be you. But then suddenly you’ll notice a huge fuckup and win a game over it. And then the fuckup will be slightly smaller, and smaller, and smaller.

But yah, chess isn’t all intelligence, it is a lot of practice and study.

The answer to the “chess” thing is “yes, you will get better if you play it for long enough”. It’s a lot about pattern recognition and the things you’ve seen in the past. There are certain rules to follow that help a lot - but someone needs to teach them to you first. It’s like saying “I suck at crosswords, I will never be good at them” - yes you will, with enough done you’ll start to see repeating “crossword words” that keep being used over and over.

Edit: also for the life thing - it’s the difference between wisdom and intelligence.

Cope lol. Harris has consistently shown her message to be “fuck Palestine”. You call it a harm reduction, yet how are you going to explain the harm already done, and the point of harm reduction? Is Israel going to genocide less-lightly? Kill all the people in Palestine a little bit slower? What’s the difference in the end, there is absolutely none.

Harris polls this shittily because of Palestine and going against what people want. That’s why suddenly 2 days before the election the messaging changed to “we love Palestine we will end the war really quickly!”.

The reality is you cannot run a campaign on “but Trump worse!”. You need something that makes you different, you need policy. That’s why Kamala’s CNN Town Hall was such a huge failure - the only thing she talked about is how she isn’t Trump. Acting as if “people are stupid if they don’t vote, vote 3rd party or vote Trump” is a valid statement only shows the blindness of what’s actually happening. And what’s happening is if you only care about Palestine / Middle East, both candidates will happily stand by and letting it burn.

Remember, this all could stop immediately using one phone call to Netanyahu. We know that, because things like this stopped immediately after such phonecalls. But there needs to be a political will to do that, and there is none right now, or in the future.

Imagine losing your job because a drug test found it.

It’s prebuilt and handmade, hence the price. Making it cheaper - molds and better plastic in them would never pay for itself. It’s a large model so either a huge injection molder, or one wall at a time. Add to it the fact that probably between 30 - 50k needs to be spent per mold (one for a single wall) Add in time for the dude to supervise the machine. Etc etc. Shit would add up. For this, an artist probably makes them, assembles them en masse, could probably use low volume techniques. It’ll be more expensive, but you can put 2 - 3 in each shop, not many people would buy them anyway and it gets free marketing (as we can see in this post). Depending on the time it takes to make one, the dude could easily be making $50 an hour doing that.

Lemmy is 1000x more toxic than reddit ever was. Reddit had so many users that insane takes were downvoted and those people burried. Lemmy was made by insane people.

No, they don’t. Just because they have “scient” in the name doesn’t mean they have anything to do with science.

There is a difference because you have anecdotes, not data. You can’t draw conclusions from them. The entire “experiment” could be poisoned by a single person with joint disease. It could be poisoned by a single person lying about the severity of the pain etc.

I think everyone wanted Afghanistan to not give up immediately and surrender to the Taliban. Fighting spirit like Ukraine.

If only I could read

Okay, but you can’t say “he killed him” when he could be brought back by anyone. Especially since even the museum guy knew that the gun is for dehydration, so that means Megamind’s powers / gadgets are relatively known.

Wasn’t he just a proud dude that disagreed with how the song of creation was to be sung - and sung his version anyway? But then it was “all according to plan” anyways?

He didn’t kill him he used the dehydration gun which turns people into cubes. He can be put into water and will be back like nothing happens. He even used that in the finale to defeat Tighten

There’s a period at the end. Also because you have shown the wish it will never come true now. Behind able people there won’t be

Some people just don’t like feet / being near them etc. Had girlfriends who would freak out if we somehow touched feet (even with socks on).

It never could go the other way, you can’t make a baby using two dads’ sperm. You can get twins (which is incredibly rare). But that just means two people with different fathers and doesn’t matter when you look at a specific one. At best, if there wasn’t any incest, you’d get equal male and female ancestors.

Means great^20 grandpa did the deed with great^19 grandma and made a baby
