Hood

Wow, I'm incredibly amazed by the number of people who commented and upvoted. Thanks! I tried to reply to a ton of you and noticed a common theme. Many people provide the following two comments:

1. What can you fix on the side of the road anyway?
2. Where can I learn more about my car?

Answers:

1. You can pull debris out from under the engine compartment (could sound like a banging noise). You could also patch punctures in a radiator tube and top off your radiator. If your car blows a fuse (as apparent by maybe a radio that won't play, or air conditioning that stops, or in my case, the total loss of a digital dashboard) you could replace a fuse pretty easily. Most critically, you can assess whether or not the car is safe to drive.

2.a. There are two main sources of literature I would highly recommend, the first is the Haynes Manuals. They are well written and really geared at DIYers and people who are generally trying to take care of and fix their car. I think they run a

I am reopening this AMA, if you would like to respond to it. It is 0935 on 25 Jun 20. There have been several comments since I woke up

It is now 2200. This AMA has been up for over 9 hours now. I am going to bed because I do have work in the morning. Any questions that get posted here will be answered when I wake up. My inbox is also open for any questions or comments.

Thank you for everyone that was involved in this. It was definitely a positive experience overall. Remember to look out for everyone out there. You may never not the struggles that person is hiding. Support your fellow human. Be awesome to everyone, each and every day of your life

This is the post that brought me here. Feel free to ask any questions you want, including additional stories.

So, Fort Hood has the name The Great Place because of where it is located, the size of the installation, the number of service members, and many other reasons. However, Fort Hood has a disproportionate amount of deaths

What in the actual fuck is wrong with you? I'm torn between being incredibly angry I had to spend my Sunday cleaning human shit off my hood ornament (I drive a Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG) and impressed you managed to pull this off in BROAD DAYLIGHT.

I've asked the manager for security footage but unfortunately I am "not a police officer" so I can't review the footage or take it to file a police report. Absolutely ridiculous.

TL;DR: SBMM really should stand for Skinner Box Matchmaking

"Skill based match making" is a misnomer. There's compelling evidence that Apex and other EA games use "engagement based matchmaking", in which the difficulty of your games will be throttled up and down to keep you playing as long as possible and/or get you spending as much money as possible. Giving people long streaks of good games is, counterintuitively, not the most effective way of keeping them in the game. That is to say, fairness is not in EA's best interest and they have plainly stated as much.

Back in 2017, some EA employees coauthored a paper titled EOMM: An Engagement Optimized Matchmaking Framework, outlining a potential matchmaking framework for video games that optimizes engagement (typically measured in play time or spend) as an objective function. Below is the text of the abstract (emphasis mine)

>Matchmaking connects multiple players to participate in online player-versus-player games. Current ma

It has happened to me every now and then but it’s a bad thing that will harm you in the future. So please, remember to check your setting every so often to make sure you are not gonna blind yourself when you weld.

Just wanted to give y’all a heads up! Just got my RH debit card a month ago and I’ve only used it twice. So much for location protection considering I’m in the U.S. and was hacked by someone in Brazil.

Oh and I emailed Robinhood when they were getting declined to let them know. Attached is the response email. Of course, a day later they were successful. Fuck Robin Hood. Thankfully I only had $400 set aside. Lock your cards boys!

Second link shows card locked then 5 hours later they were able to unlock it and spend the cash. So don’t lock it. Cancel the shit!

The production design. According to IMDB it's supposed to look like those shanty towns in South America, but the town is sprawling and kinda well done.

There are random flame spurts going on everywhere in "the mines". They never tell you what the fuck the mines are and what they're mining. This looks to be around the 1700s, but I have no idea. But yeah, random flame spurts now and then. Cause, fuck it? I guess?

The costume design is bad. People are wearing leather jackets and blazers. Cause the look cool? The main characters wears bright colours, because the audience are idiots and we need clear signs on who the main characters are. Not cause the production went "bad guys wears black, goods guys.... don't."

The directing is baffling. Some Iraq/Afgahnistan-fighting type look in the beginning, then not a mention, then suddenly Robin Hood has a flashback-PTSD-moment in the middle of the 3rd act but he just shakes it off.

Jamie Foxx's acting is great. But he's supposed to be an "Arabi

A few interesting bits from the one hour interview with Ashraf. Not a lot of new information besides a few minor things. But an interesting answer about the parkour.

• You'll be able to change Eivor's hair color (along with hair and beard styles of course, there will be "quite a various amount" of options). Tattoos and war paint are also part of Eivor's customization.
• There will be 5 separate set pieces for gear, with hood being one of them. All pieces will be unique.
• Gear will change appearance when you upgrade it, but you'll also be able to swap and change the appearance how you want, while maintaining the assets.
• The hood will have a on/off toggle IN GAME. The hood/cloak is tied to stealth gameplay and will affect it.
• When talking about the side activity "flyting", Ashraf mentioned Eivor is someone who enjoys a good joke, but also appreciates a sense of poetry so it fits their character really well.
• There's a skill that allows you to wield two handed weapons in one hand
