| Topic | New Years Eve plans |
| rjsilverthorn 12/30/19 5:52:47 PM #7 | I answered asleep before midnight, but in hindsight that was kind of stupid since I don't go to bed that early on a normal day. There isn't really a 'Nothing' option, which would be the most accurate response. |
| Topic | VIDEO: When your camera shutter rate matches helicopter rotor speed! |
| rjsilverthorn 12/30/19 11:36:33 AM #10 | Energy Surge posted... Compression wouldn't cause this at all. It's totally the video frame rate matching a specific rate of rotation of the object. A wheel with thirty-two spokes would be a lot easier to capture stroboscopic footage of than a helicopter with five propeller blades. You just need the frame rate to match a multiple of 1/32 the rotational speed of the wheel compared to a multiple of 1/5 the helicopter blades. There are many more opportunities to match the wheel compared to the helicopter. Even if you don't match the rotational speed, the video can still appear to show a very slowly moving rotating object if you get close to the ideal amount. The the wheel wasn't completely stationary as it progressed a couple inches every few seconds, so they weren't entirely synchronized to one of those multiples of the wheel. I was looking for that video after seeing this thread, but I couldn't remember who had done it. |

| Topic | How much control over your work hours do you have? |
| rjsilverthorn 12/18/19 3:10:45 PM #19 | In theory I have a lot of control over my hours, but since I have a lot of meetings I do kind of have to set my hours around those. |
| Topic | What do you say to someone who says a gun... |
| rjsilverthorn 12/18/19 9:11:49 AM #4 | Solid Sonic posted... What do you say to someone who says a gun should take precedence over other high-value items you intend to buy because you need something to protect all that other expensive shit you're going to buy later? Preferably nothing, I try not to get into arguments with idiots. |
| Topic | When was the last time that you got a speeding ticket? |
| rjsilverthorn 12/17/19 6:02:12 PM #11 | Technically I've never gotten a speeding ticket. I was pulled over once but he knocked it down to failure to obey traffic signs or something along those lines, basically a fine with no points. This was close to two decades ago and it was pretty easy to appeal tickets at that time because cops hated showing up for traffic court and it was essentially an instant win if the cop didn't show. |
| Topic | will you still be using windows 7 next year? |
| rjsilverthorn 12/17/19 10:49:04 AM #7 | All my machines are already on 10. Even work has already moved to Win 10 and big companies are usually slow about those kinds of moves. |
| Topic | Give me an interesting fact. |

| Topic | Rashida Tlaib deletes tweet blaming 'white supremacy' for Jersey City shooting |
| rjsilverthorn 12/12/19 5:30:36 PM #3 | Yeah, that is one of those cases where you really should just own up to the mistake rather than deleting it and hoping nobody noticed. The internet is like Pepperidge Farm, it remembers. |
| Topic | The best response to a Trump tweet ever. |
| rjsilverthorn 12/12/19 1:50:51 PM #9 | Am I the only one thinking that Trump, of all people, shouldn't be criticizing someone about Anger Management problems? |

| rjsilverthorn 12/09/19 11:07:13 AM #8 | Pretty sure the only Mario Party game I played was at a friend's house on the Wii. |
| Topic | Dentist who rode a hoverboard during operation facing 43 charges |

| Topic | Dentist who rode a hoverboard during operation facing 43 charges |
| rjsilverthorn 12/08/19 5:42:50 PM #3 | Most of those are unrelated to the actual hoverboard. |
| Topic | I'm watching the Rocky movies for the first time. |
| rjsilverthorn 12/01/19 6:18:12 PM #4 | Yeah, the first movie is much different from the rest of the series. Oddly Rambo is the same way. |
| Topic | Screen size or quality, what do you choose for the next 8 years? |
| rjsilverthorn 12/01/19 11:05:06 AM #4 | Neither, since I don't have any place in my house where either of those would be useful. |

Wait, this isn't how you are supposed to play Skyrim? That pretty much describes me playing every open world game. |

| rjsilverthorn 11/11/19 5:17:34 PM #2 | The requirements to be a law enforcement officer in the US vary quite a bit from state to state and in some places it doesn't take a whole lot. A lot of states also don't seem to have requirements for ongoing training. |

| Topic | Does anyone even use wireless charging on their phones? |
| rjsilverthorn 10/30/19 10:37:44 AM #7 | Oddly my mom does, I have no idea why. I had a wireless charger for one of my phones and it mostly worked OK. It would occasionally forget the phone was there and just stop charging it, but that wasn't very often. Overall though it just wasn't that much more convenient than just plugging my phone in. |

| Topic | Should I do it? |
| rjsilverthorn 10/21/19 1:52:37 PM #6 | Solid Sonic posted... I've actually always wanted to do this in general, I just couldn't find a movie I didn't care about enough but was sure to attract a big enough audience to make it worthwhile. You have strange aspirations... |

| Topic | This mom is sick. Getting her son unnecessary surgeries |
| rjsilverthorn 10/15/19 12:35:59 PM #9 | LinkPizza posted... Bugmeat posted...A unified healthcare system would help reduce instances of this. I don't mean some sort of Medicare for all system, just a system where medical records from another facility are easily accessible by new doctors at a different facility. The new doctors could look and see what sort of claims have been made to previous doctors and see what sort of procedures have already been done. They just have to look up the patient in the unified system and can see their entire history. Seeing their full history would make these sort of cases easier to spot, often before the parent is able to cause permanent harm to the child. Yeah, but currently it is all up to the patient (or guardian in this case) so in cases where they are intentionally trying to deceive doctors they can just withhold information. |
