Truly, dinosaurs with guns ! Glocks to stave off the extinction of the species ! What a wonderful idea, I would have never thought of that, somehow I must have heard about it somewhere before, surely !

I told the truth and people downvote the truth. It is sad. Somehow pushing “The Message” absolves people of any responsibility to what they are supporting and doing causing problems.

If you use Google Meet or Zoom or some kind of Desktop recording software, you can record yourself talking between blank or paused video while taking the online course and have the transcript + your own voiced notes with the recording as review material + courseware.

If you take the trouble of revisiting , revising, re-note-taking you might end up with better understanding and even self-generated workbook + answers too ( including your mistakes and what is a false trail or false path and the correct approach ) .

Won’t this cause nicks and dulling as sudden heating and impact lead to both knives becoming extremely useless ?

Also replacing one of the knives with a sharpening rod, I can sort of suspend disbelief enough to believe it “possible”.

Why Dodos never get a fair shake I’ll never know.

Don’t you have a Penguin sticker on yours ? It doesnt have to be a Windows logo.

I rest my case when people say:

baseless fear mongering

In xenophobic Japan, a foreigner especially an African is allowed to massacre Japanese people with zero consequences. The same problem will exist if a westerner enters Japan and massacres Japanese citizenry with zero consequence.

It was a very anti-Japanese ( replace Japanese with Jewish or any other ethnic or cultural or minority group ) game centered in Japan. ( Butsu buddha statue is expressly forbidden in Japan from pictorial / digital / non-real-life representations but Ubisoft decided to make a digital 3d model and place it in AC:S) with blatant disrespect and cultural-dissonance.

If it was Yagyu Juubei and Naoe or some similar Japanese main-characters there would be almost no backlash . Edit2: complete rejection as non-immersive and non-Japanese behaviour.

Edit: Listen to gamers and sensible people who actually care for a good Ubisoft game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUu7-i1kMyg

Edit2: Listen to a Japanese perspective to the problems Ubisoft has caused Japan. An entire country offended for greedy corpos and fake DEI messaging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GYauJy9fJ0

Putin is paranoid and insane.

If he ever pushes the button and the Russian soldier “following orders” all of them will stand trial at the ICC for war-crimes against humanity and the entire-planet earth.

The first nation that attempts at launching nukes success-or-failure will get crushed by the rest of the world.

Nuclear-Mutually-Assured-Total-Destruction is not a joke. It is reality we live in everyday.

Driving manual takes BOTH Theory and Practice.

1. Replay potential scenarios in your head and try to predict how you will react.

2. Re-examine your realtime reactions on the road.

3. Learn both rules of the road and real-life motorists reactions to rules.

4. Safety - Safety - Safety. If it feels unsafe, get off the road safely and wait it out.

Manual driving tips.

Use the emergency-parking-hand-brake for hill-assists.

Practice dual-brake-accelerator press/release.

Practice clutch-release-hold with no brake-accelerator ( fully depressed clutch, quarter-release, half-release, no-clutch … does the vehicle jump forward, at what point does it start creeping forward, what noise is the engine making, how does the gear-stick/shaft feel smooth or vibrating or extremely-stuck, etc etc )

Practice a reliable gear-stick-shift-shaft action. Turn your wrist outward and push horizontal, and up for 1st-gear. Neutral with a downward wrist and wiggle along the central neutral line. Turn wrist upward and firmly push straight forward for 3rd-gear, and tap gear-knob down and wiggle along central neutral line to confirm gear-stick is in the neutral, etc etc.

So by judging how traffic behaves and by establishing clear personal good gear/manual habits, you can improve your reactions.

Look forward of the vehicle for less than 10 meters ( 30 feet ) and drive below 60 kmph ( 40 mph ) if you can’t smoothly handle the manual transmission. Increase by 5 feet look distance as you get more comfortable over several months.

Don’t drive in traffic, park if you feel unsafe without causing problems.

Avoid steep shopping mall parking lots and narrow spaces until you are comfortable handling the manual vehicle.

Add wing mirrors and antenna at the edges of the vehicle corners to help visually identify the area around the vehicle.

Best of Luck and Have Fun once you are good at it. If after 2 years you aren’t getting any results, then manual may not be the best choice for you and you may need to give it up. Automatic transmissions are now making amazing progress and reliability.

No shame driving automatic transmission vehicles.

You see it. I see it. Jon Stewart sees it since forever.

The shills on Lemmy and other places like gaslighting. A lot.
