For simplicity, we will assume that the nipple is a positive Z axis integer with the head of a body positioned at positive Y. Any rotations would then fall on the X axis, in degrees, unless specified otherwise. This way, the rotation would be on a standard body rotation of left and right. Else one may have to take a photo with a rotated body in possibly an inverted position… Or I suppose simply rotating the camera, which is less entertaining.
For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.
For reasons I may not disclose freely on the internet. I am going to celebrate new years eve this year by myself. Does anyone know of ways to solitarily celebrate new years eve?...
I’m guessing here, but it could be the feel of direct control and accomplishment. If it goes out, you can fix it. If you adjust it, you control it.
Manual transmission gives you that feeling of complete control of the vehicle. If you keep it in 2nd, it stays in 2nd. Whereas drifting around in an automatic is possible, the feeling isn’t the same. If you exceed the limited rpm, the system kicks in and shifts to 3rd.
It’s more of a pride/accomplishment/feeling than a fact. The fact is, automatic vehicles are more efficient in most cases. But people (myself included) prefer manuals for the feeling of control.
Maybe that’s the same with your uncle and his knowledge and skill.
There’s a few articles out there. A search on Google scholar might show some more results but I just clicked one of the first ones for, “automatic vs manual transmission efficiency”
To the driver, a continuously variable transmission (CVT) operates a lot like an automatic. You don’t have to operate a clutch, and you simply put the car in drive to go. Unlike manuals and automatics, however, CVTs have infinite combinations of gear ratios. What that means is that a CVT can always send power to the wheels from the engine in the most fuel-efficient way possible.
2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.
Windows 11 is my stopping point. I will use windows 10 until end of life (either myself or the os). BUT knowing windows every other os, the next one after w11 should be OK. Time will tell.
Damn... I'll take 10 with you's (sh.itjust.works)
What are some small things we should change about the human body?
Ripping off a post I just saw in the Isaac Arthur subreddit. Imagining we work out the technical ability. Examples they suggested were:...
What are some tech predictions for 2024 that actually could happen?
What gifts that you received for Christmas this year are already in the trash?

What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?
I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.
