‘The Rings Of Power’ Season 2, Episode 4 Review: ‘Eldest’ Is Another Atrocious Disaster
  • Far too much does this now and it's a short term win, long term loss.

    Die hard fans of the material maybe enjoy it for a bit but then get sick of it. New people won't get into it as huge chunks of it are meaningless to them.

  • The First Nuclear Clock Will Test if Fundamental Constants Change
  • My understanding is that current atomic clocks work on changing the state of whole atoms.

    Whereas this new method changes the state of part of the nucleus of an atom.

    Basically smaller is more precise. However given that current atomic clocks are one second out over something like a billion years I've no idea what benefit this extra preciseness will give us.

    We'll probably start noticing really weird shit when we look at time that precisely. That's generally what's happened when we get into the quantum scale of things.

  • Lord of the Rings Characters: Screen Time vs. Mentions in the Books
  • The balance of this doesn't surprise me. The shift between book and film is quite heavily based on gender.

    The books were certainly much more male character based and the films evened it up a bit more. Although obviously still not even.

  • Why Doom 3 is still an important and misunderstood game
  • My memory of Doom 3 is being impressed at first but then that being ground away by repetition.

    The first time I saw some of the texture details and tech (was that bump mapping? I can't remember) I was wowed. However then it all looked like that. All the time.

    Then there was the jump scares. First was great, then diminishing returns till it gets to the point where a combo of the lighting and room layout let's you know exactly when they are going to happen.

  • Featured
    You can't park there, sir
  • Would it count in basketball, if a player found themselves directly under the hoop, threw the ball up through the hoop from underneath, and the ball fell back down, again through the hoop?
  • I could be wrong but I seem to remember this is one of the reasons why the baskets have a net.

    You're not allowed to do that but if the net wasn't there then in pre-video games the refs might not be able to spot if the ball went up through the hoop.

    Think they were also to stop players reaching up through the hoop to defend as well.

  • I hate brioche buns!
  • So you know brioche buns should be ever so slightly sticky, but a sweet sticky, right?

    Not to ruin your favourite burger place but maybe you should just buy some buns from a bakers and then see what they're like fresh.

    At the moment there are two options. You can't quite tell the difference between brioche sticky and greasy sticky or your burger place manages to get grease all over your buns.

    How good are they overall? Do you want to know the answer?

    Edit: Damn it came to me just too late. At the moment you're stuck in Heisenberg's buns. Do you want to resolve that?

  • Huw Edwards pleads guilty to making indecent images of children
  • Only if they didn't report such a message/activity and fully cooperate.

    My understanding is that if you are party to things like this and don't take the required action then you are liable to this wider definition of making.

    So you are essentially complicit in the making of them because you didn't try and stop/report it in a timely manner.

    Happens with loads of other stuff like murders, terror, theft etc... Basically if you know about serious crimes and don't take any action. Then you can be found guilty of a very similar offence as the people who committed the exact offence.

  • Tesla recalls 1.8 million cars because their hoods can open while driving
  • Did you read the recall? Again it says hood latch switch deformation.

    That may be part of the hood latch assembly but again at no point does it say that the latch not latching is the issue. Only the reporting of the latching state.

    You're really rather pathetic and I'm certainly no fan of Tesla or Musk. A brief check of my previous posts would confirm this.

    As you're obviously not very good at reading or understanding things then that fact probably did slip by you. You seem to be only capable of latching (you might not see what I did there being a bit dense) onto certain words without understanding the full issue.

  • Tesla recalls 1.8 million cars because their hoods can open while driving
  • And what is the next word after the bit you have quoted?

    Is it by any chance switch.

    The full quote is deformation of the hood latch switch. Not the hood latch.

    Thanks for further confirming my point that you're not reading it correctly.

  • Tesla recalls 1.8 million cars because their hoods can open while driving
  • The comments read like a lot of people don't quite understand the issue.

    The bonnet (hood if you insist) latch may not warn a driver if it isn't secured correctly. If it is secured correctly then it is fine. So it isn't going to suddenly open.

    If the latch isn't shut correctly and then the sensor doesn't report this then the bonnet may open unexpectedly.

    If they can use a software update to correct the reporting then that's it fixed.

    There's no issue with the actual latching mechanism. It's just the sensor for reporting the latching state.

    It may be that it currently works on a two value system. i.e a value for correctly latched and a value for not latched. If that's the case and isn't just not providing the second valve correctly then a simple software change to only use the latched value would fix this. As any other value or the absence of a value will report it at unlatched.

  • English Football League/Premier League All time points table (1888-) - YouTube
  • I presume you're joking. That was a one time minor deduction from thousands.

    I can't believe Sunderland are in there for so long. Had no idea they'd been that consistent prior to the 80/90s and I'm a Newcastle fan.
