  • As an add-on to this, some people are inherently better at meditation to start with. So hearing from other people how short their journey was from “meditation is just a waste of time” to “after some practice it started to be more effective” can be really discouraging for people where that journey can be years. But everyone can get good at meditating. And generally, the harder or more useless it seems to start out, the more you need what it offers.



  • Overall is that even a deal over a used headset? Even a fully featured non-stripped down one? Like given what features his headset does have, it’s comparable to some pretty old headsets… and it likely does even those bare minimum features more poorly than an older used headset would. Not to mention comfort.

    Like a 10 year old Rift CV1 has almost as much resolution at 90hz/fps instead of 60. And while it’s lenses would be relatively terrible now, they were pretty much the best option of their day, and likely still better than whatever this dude sourced. Not to mention their motion to photon was around 12 ms. The absolute best result this guy can hope for is 16.6ms, and that’s only if everything else in the pipeline is faster than the screens refresh rate… maybe it is… but I wouldn’t bet on it personally.

    I’m sure it was a fun project though.














  • Yeah, Canadian.

    And I guess it doesn’t feel unnecessary to other people. Getting downvoted. Just seems super weird to me that it isn’t just the same as all the previous times they made new flavours, even if it was something popular that is traditionally from another country. They’ve never done that before. Even when they introduced a bunch of new flavours initially from abroad in a set, they didn’t put that extra distance in them.

    Just to me kind of seems like the timing is an important part of why they did that this time.

    The flavour is fine, I think the weird part is that it isn’t just a normal new flavour, but is labeled a “passport flavour” series. That just seems like an unnecessary separation. Like, you have to go to another country to find that flavour, even though you very much can find it at home.

    Seems like bad timing to be trying to put a separation between “local” and “foreign” flavours.

    It leaves a bad flavour in the mouth, even if the chip flavour is good.



  • Right after the article mentions their rules of engagement in that situation being that they should have backed away from the moving car, it then states that the action would likely be considered justified due to the officer being in danger… from choosing to hold on to the moving car? Like his injuries are clearly because he didn’t let go of the car until it was going fast enough that he fell off and skidded… that seems like his choice and not something the driver did.

    They are not authorised or recommended to use force to prevent a “suspect” from fleeing.
