Motion blur in film does that, but with video games, in every implementation I've seen, you don't get a blur that works the same way. Movies will generally blur 50% of the motion between frames (a "180 degree shutter"), a smooth blur based on motion alone. Video games generally just blur multiple frames together (sometimes more than two!) leaving all of the distinct images there, just overlayed instead of actually motion blurred. So if something moved from one side of the screen all the way to the other within a single frame, you get double vision of that thing instead of it just being an almost invisible smear across the screen. To do it "right" you basically have to do motion interpolation first, then blur based on that, and if you're doing motion interpolation you may as well just show the sharp interpolated mid frames.

On top of that, motion blur tends to be computationally very expensive and you end up getting illegible 30fps instead of smooth 60+.

Even with your simplistic fossil fuel car in your example the alternator within can also be used as a motor.

Not by "simply reversing the flow" it can't. You'd need to remove and replace many components, just like the example of changing an Rx to Tx system

An LED (or photodiode used as one) is a fairly simplistic device compared to an assembled receiver / transmitter. Just like you can burn gasoline in a car but you can't push a car to turn the engine to make gasoline - it's a complex system that really only works one way.

if you invert the flow of electrons, a receiver becomes a transmitter

Ehh not really. That's kind of like saying if you invert the flow of photons, your eyes work as flashlights.

"It could be possible with some changes" the changes would amount to removing the receiver and replacing it with a transmitter. In this specific case I'm not sure if a transmitter already exists at this antenna and it's definitely possible one does, but that's not a guarantee at all

"RTFM" My irritation is that most recipes make a huge amount of assumptions - at least as many as code that assumes a certain version of library. You can get recipes that say things as vague as "prepare the chicken" and aren't at all clear what they mean, unless you've seen someone do it first, but it's published in a book like you should just know. I hate that. I also frequently see quantities like "1 can" which just drives me insane as though that's a standard unit.

There's also plenty of cooking specific jargon, so densely packed that beginners might spend the majority of the recipe looking up what the terms mean. "Chop" parsley - how finely? "Mix the ingredients" how long? What the fuck is Golden Brown actually?

Humors a valid coping mechanism, but normally not when the victim is the butt of the joke. The post just leaves the same bad taste in my mouth as rape jokes.

Sorry to ruin anyone's fun but it just comes across as gross to me and generally shows a lack of empathy

It is and it shouldn't be

Fuck making jokes about sexual assault on men tbh. Haha funny she mutilated his genitals

Frankly sounds like his beef should be with his wife. That guy didn't drain her bank account, she did.

Pretty sure ACARS doesn't include [X is typing] messages

It's available but not flourishing last I checked. Just to be clear I'm not denigrating it at all, I desperatelywant it to flourish. I pay for nebula, too, as well as patreon for many of my preferred creators, in the hopes that they can explore alternatives to YouTube. Hell, I pay for floatplane and dropout too, as much as I hate the fractured environment it's creating, I want the most direct way to support the content I watch, but YouTube is almost certainly still my most watched platform

I just keep hoping it gets bad enough for something better to flourish in its place

I was going to ask about resolution as I haven't tested it myself. Considering my screen is 32:9 (7160x3840) I'd be pretty disappointed with a 1920x540 recording

The fact that they're normalized is exactly the trauma I'm talking about, it IS incredibly messed up!

How did the active shooter drills for students help that? Tbh they may have helped cause the ideation.

Lockdown drills possibly for staff I can maybe get on board with, but for students? The universal trauma is IMHO not worth the off chance that it helps in a (still extremely rare) active shooter scenario

First thought, someone's gonna nut into that

I feel like ricochets off the back of the bucket would be a bad time

Do you have evidence of them being useful?

Logic won out, understanding that blasting kids with scary media constantly was impacting their mental health negatively. Almost like we also shouldn't be doing things like freaking kids out with useless shooter drills too...

Thanks, don't mind if I do
