Riding somebody is a double entendre, often used as sexual innuendo beyond the literal sense of riding, like on a horse.

That’s a shame there aren’t any players any more.
I’m a patient gamer, too. I almost never buy games at full price. But I try to strike a balance with online(-ish) games. Some experiences you just can’t have once a game with an online aspect isn’t popular anymore.
Dang, you’re patient. I played this back on PS3. Does it even have online players anymore? They are an integral part of the experience, IMO.
Weird, they mentioned Subway and TGIF, but not Burger King.
I’m sorry if I made the false impression that I know what I’m talking about. I’m just discussing and learning as I go. But I went back to the article and looked for the specific figures, and you were right, they are amplifying 1550-nm wavelength, which is NIR. And average glass is usually opaque to wavelength at around 2500nm, so it shouldn’t get blocked. At least not much.
I can’t say I have any experience with PVS-14 or any Night Optical Devices, but from what I see online, it amplifies certain visible spectrum as well as near-IR. It doesn’t seem to rely on IR much. And red dot sights aren’t even IR are they? At least not entirely, cause you can see them with the naked eye.
Regarding glass being opaque to IR, apparently, it depends on the type of glass. I just remembered it from a Vsauce video (IIRC) where it was demonstrated to be opaque. But since term IR is vague and doesn’t have super defined borders, and there are different types of glass, yeah, it’s not a certain statement.
Fair enough, I was being too vague with my statement. I was implying that they don’t emit much IR, as all bodies above 0 Kelvin do emit it. And LED/laser headlights almost don’t, in comparison to xenon and stuff. I looked up some Xe emission graphs and some even straight up show the peak in near-IR, while laser/LED starts flatting out way before NIR.
Well, IR isn’t heat, but it’s associated with it. And since laser and LED lights heat up a little bit, yes, they of course produce a miniscule amount of IR. But it’s pretty much negligible in comparison to their visible spectrum emissions. If you’re already being blinded by the visible range of the laser, the IR part isn’t gonna do much.
Yeah, it’s absolutely clear that nothing is clear about its operation.
If I understood correctly, it captures visible light to use it for the amplification of the IR spectrum.
Now that I’ve read my own comment, I see that it came off harsher then I intended it to. Interpret it literally and not like a sarcastic statement.
Btw, just occurred to me that these would probably not work in a car at all, because regular glass is usually opaque to IR.
Do modern headlights emit IR? I don’t think so. Which means these IR amplifiers wouldn’t change the intensity of headlights.
I think you got downvoted because the way you said it implies that all 3rd party repair shops are shady. But it’s true, that the vast majority of repair shops are shady in places that I have lived.
I’m aware of Android capabilities, I’ve used Android phones since Gingerbread and have several tablets. I’m not saying iPad is “the best” for all use cases, but app availability is still much better on iPadOS. Android has been steadily catching up though.
I know that this is Fedi and “Apple bad”, but iPads are great devices and if you get older versions second-hand they are usually worth the price. And since Apple is being forced into making these devices more open, they get better and better.
You took my comment too seriously, it was just a joke.
But you also singled out Intel. Corporations aren’t heroes in general and AMD is also there. And EU is depicted as the villain, although it’s implied it’s the hero in the context of the meme.
I would argue that the meme has long lost that particular aspect of itself and the character alignment is ignored. In this instance, clearly indicated by Surtr being EU, while the context heavily implies that EU is the “hero”.
Who said anything about heroes? Villains sometimes want to stop other villains, too. In fact, probably often.
Didn’t know Henry Cavill works at IBM.
Well, I’m pretty sure there were instances where Mario and Bowser cooperated. But it doesn’t matter, because even if only 2 answers make sense, the joke already works.
