This is an america problem.

Europe uses the international standard for headlight regulations, whereas the US has their own standard which is far worse for glare.

US headlights don’t have the clear cutoff line. The headlights are allowed to throw significantly more light at the angles that should be dark.

Not only that, the regulations on beam alignment are based solely on angles, and do not account for vehicle height. This means higher headlights both illuminate more of the road, and dazzle more drivers, so automakers mount the headlights as high as possible. American trucks and SUVs are notorious for this. If you drive a normal car in the US, SUVs from the factory will have headlights above your eyeline, which means you get the full force of the headlight beam shined directly into your eyes. Which american regulations also mandate be brighter than Europe.

It must be nice having a real government. I hope to live somewhere that has one someday.

Props are low volume specialty products for professionals. Airsoft guns are high volume toys for the mass market.

A theater or film production company can afford expensive quality props, because they are an organization with an orginizarion sized budget. Airsoft guns have to be cost cut and mass produced to a low price point because they sell to normal people with human scale budgets.

Also the brown furniture on the NCR service rifle is wood. Be authentic, learn carpentry.

It does seem hostile to use a bot deletion and message. The github has an issues tab, it has a submit button. A reasonable user would find their github, and then submit an issue in the normal github bug reporting place on a page that looks like a normal and active issues page only to then be met with the bot deletion message.

Github has the option to disable the issues tab, which they reccomend for projects that do not take bug reports through github. These devs didn’t do that. It appears they use the issues tab for issue tracking internally within the team. The result is a public issues page, that looks just like a normal one that takes user submissions.

The project does say they they only take bug reports on discord on the readme and on the contributors page, both of which are below the fold on browsers. The information is provided in advance of a submission, but not in a way most users will be likely to find it when trying to submit bug reports, as the issues button is directly at the top of the screen.

Their github is indexed on search engines and came up as the second result when searching for “game native” in my test. The discord is not in search results. Users are far more likely to find the github than the discord when searching.

I do hope its unintentional, but it really seems like these devs have set a trap. Reasonable users will find the issues page, spend their time writing a report, only for a bot to autodelete. Its cruel.

What is an LTN and why does the article use that acronym in the first sentence without defining it anywhere??

There is a quick fix, sealed beams.

There was a time when all cars in the US had round headlights. That’s because there was only one headlight and all cars were mandated by law to use it. That law can be reimplemented at any time. It would fix the headlights as soon as it goes into effect.

Car makers would hate it. It would ruin a lot of their styling and marketing having to use the one and only headlight. Which would make it an effective deterrant. Any major government using sealed beam laws as a threat would make the industry self regulate quickly.

I hate how the manipulative term “accident” is normalized. This was no accident. No automobile collision is ever an accident. There is negligence and there is malice, and this sounds like both.

A subway is a metro line located underground. Throughput is the same. Its just more expensive to dig the tunnels

I see this posted a lot as if this is an issue with capitalism. No, this is what happens when you have to deal with maintaining the power grid using capitalism as a tool.

Power generation needs to match consumption. Always constantly the power grid must be balanced. If you consume more than you can generate, you get a blackout. If you generate more than you use, something catches fire.

Renewables generate power on their own schedule. This is a problem that can be solved with storage. But storage is expensive and takes time to construct.

Negative prices are done to try and balance the load. Its not a problem, its an opportunity. If you want to do something that needs a lot of power, you can make money by consuming energy when more consumption is needed. And if you buy a utility scale battery, you can make money when both charging and discharging it if you schedule it right.

That’s not renewables being a problem, that’s just what happens when the engineering realities of the power grid come into contact with the economic system that is prevalent for now.
