I'm interested in this sensation and I'm curious how it has been explored and discussed.

Here's how I make it happen:

I picture a literal homunculus inside my head, driving my body with levers and keyboards.

Then I very deliberately start controlling my movements, only moving as I explicitly choose and command. Movements typically happen on only one axis or one joint at a time.

This includes breathing - after a few moments, I discover I need air because I've not been breathing. I pull down my diaphragm to inhale, and release it to exhale.

Here's the effect it has (and why I'm so curious about it). It seems to narrow in my consciousness of the world to only my proprioceptive awareness. This is a fascinating, meditative experience. It "clears the mind" and causes me to focus on my breath in a way that traditional meditation never has.

My questions:

1. Is this what "being present" and "focus on your breath" refer too? Could it be zen and Buddhist teachers are literally saying that this type of self awareness should be cultivated and practiced?

2. Is there a scientific term for this kind of self awareness? I couldn't find it on Wikipedia or Stanford.

3. Is there a better colloquial term than "robot mode" which is what I call it?

I need help with this please, I don't know why this doesn't works. I hope someone can help me.

(Picture 1) Im using this crane from MArmOS 3.0 Example: Welding Crane

(Picture 2) This are the PB and the cockpit (Arm Controller) on a subgrid like the author of the script say here on the section of bugs " The script won't receive any inputs from cockpits on a static grid. For some reasons, static grids will not produce any inputs informations. To work around this issue, place your cockpit on a rotor head or any subgrid. "

(Picture 3) I recompile the script. It says <configuration complete> (last line)
This is the arm definition, just like the original.

 var Prefix = "WC: ";   new Rotor( Name: Prefix+"Motor1", Axis: "Z" );   new SolidLG( 0, 0, 3 );   new Rotor( Name: Prefix+"Motor2", Axis: "-Y" );   new SolidLG( -7, 0, 1 );   new Rotor( Name: Prefix+"Motor3", Axis: "Y" );   new SolidLG( 9, 0, 0 );   new Rotor( Name: Prefix+"Motor4", Axis: "Y" );   new SolidLG( -6, 0, 1 );   new Piston( Name: Prefix+"Piston1", Axis: "-X" );   new Rotor( Name: Prefix+"Motor5", Axis: "-X", OriMode: true );   new SolidSG( 4, 5, 0 );   new Rotor( Name: Prefix+"Motor6", Offset: 180, Axis: "Y", OriMode: true );   new Rotor( Name: Prefix+"Motor7", Axis: "X", OriMode: true );   new SolidSG( 7, 0, 0 );   new UserControl( Speed: 10, UseArmAsReference: true );

The crane is of course an important symbol globally in many cultures, but I'm currently interested in its appearance within Irish mythology.

A google search mentioned a 2016 book Corr Scéal – Crane Notions by Lorcán Ó Tuathail - but it appears to be unavailable to buy at the moment. According to a review in the Irish Times, he focuses in his book on 12 aspects of the crane in Irish history, ranging from the first Christian settler on the Aran Islands being named Naomh Éanna or “king of the birds”, to the “white crane” totemic symbol of early Atlantic animist peoples, to the reasons for the crane images on the base of an 8th-century high cross in Co Tipperary. Apparently he also recalls how the crane bag was a well-known magical container, which had associations with Manannán Mac Lir, the great sea god, Lúgh and Fionn Mac Cumhaill.

Another google hit mentioned that three cranes guard the entrance to the Underworld, but the link gave no greater detail or sources.

Any suggestions?

If you have saves on a map with a crane on it which crash the game when you try to load them up, such as on gm_dock or gm_construct_bay, this addon should fix the issue.

This will also prevent the game from crashing as well when a crane's magnet is removed, which, is all too easy to do in sandbox mode.

I put this addon together after I got tired of receiving comments related to these crashes on gm_construct_bay. Game crashes are the worst, especially obnoxious ones such as these, I already had an insufficient-fix built into the map itself and so I knew I could find a more general way to fix it.

The crane will be vaporized in the process of preventing the crash, there wasn't much I could do to stop this as it's a problem with Facepunch's save system itself (I spent quite some time rummaging around in their systems), and the crane can leave some strange artifacts, but this is certainly a better alternative than instant, violent crashes. I hope this helps someone!

When you are using a crane and the cargo falls through another truck whilst loading, move it slightly further away.

Additionally, you can tell when you will have no collision, when swapping from 1 truck to another, either using the Quick Menu or the Map, when the other vehicle closeby will have a "wave like white 1 second glow" then you will have no collision detection and then the cargo will fall through.

So combining the 2, when swapping vehicles and the other vehicle doesn't glow shortly you are far enough away. If it glows, move it further away untill its stops.

I swear somewhere we learned Crane was Aiden's father but I'm totally unsure now

57 LI, 4 RI, 1 HC and 2 LC under the banners of House Crane arrive at the Old Oak Village on the Ocean Road and attempt to Raze.

#Attackers

57 LI x 1 = 57

4 RI x 2 = 8

1 HC x 2 = 2

2 LC x 1 = 2

ACV = 69

8% Total ACV

#Defenders

??? ACV

92% Total ACV

They sound similar and as one of the Devs said that aiden is in the search of his missing relative from his past, in one of the trailers, aiden says "when my father saved my life, he told me never to forget who I am and where I come from." If crane is really aiden's father, then the time when crane saved aiden's life should be more than 15 years ago! What do you think?

I feel like if you're gonna get someone to sound like crane then there should be some sort of relation to him

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I am in awe.

What the fuck did I just read. It took me over a week to process this incredible journey. Never have I ever read a story like that, nor do I ever think I ever will read a story like that. Fuckkkk what the fuckkkkk

As you can see, my mind is still broken by what I read. So while I gather my thoughts, let me show you guys the pace I read this series at, because I think it's pretty wonky. I started and finished in 2021, so no need for years.

Jan 15–Feb 3: The Eye of the World
Feb 18–Mar 17: The Great Hunt
Apr 13–Apr 28: The Dragon Reborn
May 2–Jul 17: The Shadow Rising
Aug 10–Sept 9: The Fires of Heaven
Sept 9–Sept 16: New Spring
Sept 17–Oct 14: Lord of Chaos
Oct 14–Oct 25: A Crown of Swords
Oct 25–Nov 1: The Path of Daggers
Nov 2–Nov 11: Winter's Heart
Nov 11–Nov 13: Crossroads of Twilight
Nov 14–Nov 25: Knife of Dreams
Nov 28–Nov 30: The Gathering Storm
Dec 19–Dec 24: Towers of Midnight
Dec 24–Dec 31: A Memory of Light

Okay, my thoughts are gathered, so let's talk about characters.

Characters

My character tier-list. There are some hot takes here lol. Mat in B is gonna make people scream at me. I am ready.

I think The Wheel of Time's true innovation is in character. I might be wrong, but it seems that nobody had ever done the level of complexity or scale in character work that Robert Jordan did before Robert Jordan. As a result, I think that this series has some of the best characters in fantasy.

In particular, I think Rand is the best character I have ever read, not ju

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

I didn’t believe Aiden when he told me about the job. 45 an hour no prior training, and part-time. It was almost a perfect situation for me while I finished up the last of my online college classes. The only problem was that it was in the middle of the woods at a place called the gentleman’s sorcery society.

We drove out to the specified location only to find roads didn’t go out that far. After half an hour of stumbling through the forest as Aiden failed to read google maps, we finally spotted something.

In the middle of the evergreens stood a gray wooden single-story house with a concrete fence sticking out from either side. That looked out of place in the forest but wasn’t particularly strange. What was strange was the massive oak with a treehouse situated within its branches rising behind the concrete fence. As I stared at this unusual architectural construction I also noticed two men standing on either side of the porch.

“You think that's the sorcery society,” Aiden said giving a halfhearted wave to the men.

Strangely neither waved back. They continued standing motionless their backs against the house like sentries. I felt a shiver run up my back. “Hello?” Aiden said waving both his hands above his head.

The two men remained frozen. Part of me wanted to turn away and yet I had to know. Why were they standing there like that?
“Maybe they're like the queen's guard or something?” Aiden said, “I mean-“

“I need to see what’s going on,” I said walking forward towards the house.

“Dude wait…”

I didn’t listen. When something's bothering me I need certainty. As I approached them they looked even more off. The way this stood was too stiff with their bodies holding nearly the same position and their heads facing slightly downwards. The only movement was their hair in the wind. And their faces. Something was very wrong. These men weren’t living people.

“Oh goddammit!” Aiden laughed. “They're just mannequins.”

I let out a sigh of relief. He was right. Two plastic dummies dressed in cargo shorts and gray t-shirts stood backs to the wall of the gray house. Still fucking creepy but at least they weren’t dead. As I examined the porch further I saw a circle painted to the door with the letters GSS inscribed in the middle of a seven-sided star. There was also a small piece of paper taped below.

“Job applicants please go inside.”

I looked back at the shadowy trees behind us and the stationary mannequins. Hopefully, there would at least be a living person in

This week at Bungie, we set our sights on a slew of Bungie Bounties!

While we may be sad that Festival of the Lost has concluded, Lord Saladin is having a bit of fun. Iron Banner is back, and a little brighter than what you may remember. A pesky little bug prevented the Iron Forerunner sets from lighting with a brilliant flame during our first Iron Banner event of the season. Now, as many players have discovered, these armor sets burn brightly during Iron Banner weeks.

Whether you equip this armor or use Synthweave to apply the look, pieces with the Iron Banner sigil now light in a brilliant flame when Iron Banner is active. Mix and match your favorite shaders and Exotics to make some sweet looks.

>We blazin, bruh. > >And yes, purchased the Mindstriders for the Transverse Steps and matches the Shader and 🔥 pic.twitter.com/GzswP7tzRG > >— 😴💭☕ (@iAshParth) November 2, 2021

Complete matches, turn in tokens, and complete your weekly bounties for chances at high-stat rolls on these armor pieces.

While Trials is on a short hiatus for Iron Banner week, we do have some details from the team on matchmaking. We are also announcing two weeks of Bungie Bounties, inviting you to share your stories for the Heroes Welcome campaign, refreshing our Prime Rewards offerings, and more!

##Testing the Waters

Last weekend, we tried out some changes to matchmaking in Trials of Osiris. We shifted to a system that put some focus on overall wins, pushing players into different buckets depending on how much they had played (and won) on a given weekend. While we are incredibly happy with the amount of data we were able to collect, this matchmaking system did not meet the goals that we had established last Thursday. As we continue to hone in on what settings we would like for Trials overall, we appreciate all who have been hopping in for a few cards and sounding off with feedback. Pairing data with player feedback and experiences is key to continued success!
