I saw that too but that one setting fixed it for me completely. Plus I use frame gen with a vsynced FPS at 119 (to prevent tearing).

I'm also using a 4090 with an overclock 10700k.

I think I put 70-80 hours into it and found it quite good and bug free. The one nVidia setting for the better ready traced lights was the only issue and turning it off solved all the issues.

Stealth was fine, but the rocks were annoying for sure. I think the biggest issue was not selling it on steam and the terrible Ubisoft launcher.

Not sure this belongs here, but I'm excited for it! I probably won't play until it's been in EA for a while or after its full release. ACC and the original AC keep me plenty busy.

Plus my 180+ hour jaunt into Satisfactory, don't look, you'll get addicted.

Spoiler, not a track car! This is why I don't want an EV. At least not yet. I'm excited to hear the steering is good because typically it sucks, so good there maybe?

I didn't know half of these existed. I've already deducted 7 nerd points from my total...

Tires are awesome. Without them I'd have to walk everywhere! Few things improve the feel, handling, and performance of a car more than a proper set of tires designed for the given application. This video like almost all his videos goes into a lot of fun details, but about tires.

I realize tire nerds are rare, but maybe you'll be one too after this?

There is a Pontiac Fiero a few blocks away and I keep trying to catch the owner to chat him up. After reading this I need to try harder, wish me luck!

I love everything about this!

Howdy folks,

Thought I'd share a tool I use when buying or selling a used car. It's not the only tool to use but I think it's a useful data point.

Plus I like looking at the charts and seeing how much our cars have depreciated. But I'm a data nerd, don't judge me too harshly!

Before I die of old age, I might eventually be brave enough to try something like this and stop paying people to do it.

Probably not.

I love his explanations, and this engine is pretty cool. I look forward to seeing one on the streets someday.

I'm not sure how to cross post so I'm trying it this way. But yeah this is terrible...

There is a competition called the 24 hours of lemons, where the car has to cost $500 or less outside of safety equipment. Getting a car for that price is near impossible unless it's totally crashed out but when I was young $500 specials would run for years without much issue. Car costs are nuts these days.

Cars of this age just seem to look better with age. This one is particularly gorgeous to me.

Don't be fooled by randomness. Randomness comes in clumps. For example if you flipped a thousand coins every day for a year and measured how each one predicted the stock market, heads for up, tails for down, at the end of the year you'll likely have one coin that far out performs the average. But would you use that coin to determine your investment strategy the next year?

And yeah Boeing is now killing people outside of their planes.

Traffic (the book) says most Americans merge into traffic wrong when lanes reduce (from say 3 lanes to 2 lanes for example.)

The right way is waiting until you are at the very end of the lane that's reducing. When that happens up to 60% more cars per hour get through the bottle neck in heavy traffic and accidents resulting in killed or serious injury are reduced by up to 80%.

Bottom line having multiple entry points in a queue with multiple slow down points due to the multiple entry points is the cause of the reduced performance with the way most Americans do it.

Yup, all the evidence scientists point to agree that if anything we are early to the party.

Last year it took 6 months to get water to stop leaking in my office, so yeah I'm just excited the note is charming...

Fuck, this is my kid...

My kid argued with me about what one sixteenth of a pie looked like when he was serving me. He tried to give me one eighth and I was already full!

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

This is the way.

My grandma would say "he can put his boots at the foot of my bed." My grandma had the hots for lots of younger country singers.

I'm nostalgic for the day when Google was the good company. A few years before "alphabet" you could see the change coming and since "alphabet" they are worse every year.
