:O that was amazing

I always thought they were just random sounds. That’s kind of mind-blowing.

I’m over this man for making it seem so simple lol

This is from a documentary called ” I know that voice” and it’s on youtube

Look at you! You're using coal plants!

YOU HAD NUKE PLANTS! YOU IGNORANT HIPPIE SCUM, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING HERE? HUH?!

I mean to be fair, it's a dilemma.

Unlike the French, Germany can't get relatively cheap nuclear material from Africa, and otherwise would have to source it from Rusher, of all countries.

Therefore, more practical to import French nuclear power. It's... unfortunate Germany has to rely more on coal in the mean time, but what could help is axing NIMBY laws banning wind turbines near residential areas (oh those poor land/home owners and their property values!).

my brother had a brilliant idea that i wanted to share with other people who have four-legged family members: he trained our two cats to go directly to the door when they hear the fire alarm.

obviously at first the fire alarm sent them scrambling for cover, but he started slowly by giving them treats whenever it went off, when someone burned food or forgot to open the fireplace flu. he then progressed to calling them to the door to offer treats immediately after the alarm went off. and it actually wasn't too long before the cats voluntarily started going to the door upon hearing the alarm.

i think this was genius because in the event of a real emergency we know exactly where the cats will be and we will not have to waste precious time trying to find them to rescue them. i think this method would work equally well with dogs and probably other free-roaming pets such as rabbits, ferrets, etc. and i certainly encourage others to give it a shot!

I trained Neelix to alert me to Sounds. So in the even of A Sound he'd find me to let me know about it. Oven timers, knocking at the door, weird creature stuck in the yard, etc. This has the added effect of being able to scoop him up and bring him to safety in the event said sound is a fire alarm or a tornado siren.

The downside is, when I had a baby, every time it cried he'd barrel into the room to let me know. Even if I was already in the room. And if I couldn't make The Sound stop (because an infant works differently than an oven timer), he'd start biting me urgently. 😅

Confused, but doing his best:

Oh, context is that I'm deaf not that I wanted to create a beast that'd harass me over sounds.

When you don’t want to code predictive aiming so you just make the projectile homing instead.

The story of this is fascinating and hilarious.

So this is, obviously, Hitman. And in Hitman you can pick up objects and throw them to cause a noise distraction. But you can also throw them at a person to sneakily take them out, particularly if the object is bladed/sharp or heavy. Now, the thrown weapon is programmed to home in on the target, but it normally moves so fast and the target so slowly that it makes no difference. Enter the briefcase. Intended for discreetly carrying weapons, but because of the briefcase’s size and bulk, it can be thrown, it has a much slower flight speed than, say, a knife or a screwdriver. But this meant that people noticed the trick, because they finally found a weapon that flies slowly enough to turn in mid-air. The devs patched this out of later games, the fans revolted - they wanted the janky homing briefcase.

Now we come to Hitman 2 (2019). The devs, as a joke, added a special variant of the briefcase to the game. So now, not only was there the ordinary briefcase, but a special version of the briefcase with minimum flight speed and perfect homing. Combine that with the one point in the game where a target can out-manoeuvre the inexorable march of the slow, flying suitcase, and you get one of the funniest gifs in modern gaming
