A word of warning: I didn't set the sqwimble right one time -- ONE TIME -- and now I'm stuck in this stupid timeline.
They really should put the sqwimble slider behind an "advanced settings" button or menu or something
Considering there is no default sqwimble rating that works for everyone I highly disagree. Obviously you should read sqwimble theory and understand the related qrunkly equations before you continue here.
darktable developer?
I really miss the "I'm feeling lucky" checkbox that they used to have under the sqwimble setting.
I use the TimeWanderer GUI frontend which is much better IMO. It's still in alpha, so use it at your own risk
That setting really made me think of the time machine in this:
Blackadder Back & Forth (1999) full
For those who don't wish to enjoy the comic antics of Sir Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder and wish to just see what I'm on about, here's a link with a timestamp to when the show the interface of the machine https://youtu.be/rzHn2H2V8N4?t=390 but it'll sort of "spoil" the "movie" a bit if you watch more than 20s, it's just 33min total
You don't fuck around with sqwimble settings. That's some legacy code.
I'm still swim tumbling
Make sure the plumbus drivers are installed and its plugged in before you RΜΈΜΜΊΝ eΜ·ΝΜΎΜΜdΜ·Μ½Μ ΝaΜ΅ΝΝΜ£Μ³cΜ΅ΝΜΊtΜ·ΜΜ»Ν eΜ΄ΝΜΜ―dΜΆΜΝΜ

No! I'm not falling for this again!
Fool me once ... !
You CANNOT set the sqwimble that high, and not also be deterministic! Are you insane?!
If you can't do it, why does the software allow it?!
Because it expects you to be a professional, and not some guy trying to turn George Jr. Into the next Bigfoot during 9/11.
Kids these days
No one ever lets me have any fun!
That's because we've got all these interdimensional rando speed runners fucking with the squimble setting now! Keep it up and we're going to draw the old ones' attention.
Its too late.....sigh just set it to minimum and end it
user feedback has been positive
escaping the present to go back to a time when a Republican president started an unnecessary war with a middle eastern country
I'm sorry but real programmers dream in ISO 8601.
Can it also teleport me to a Waffle House?
I think that just happens by itself if you blackout
Is there a piece of media that deals with the location issue properly? Always assumed that time travel would leave you in a "fixed" point in space and you'd need to accurately figure out where exactly you want to pop out
Once you get into real science where the Sun and Earth travel through space, either you have some sort of anchor device (meaning you can't go back before that anchor was made), or it's proper use of a black hole or some sort of singularity where things like lightspeed travel is already solved, and there's an established pair of terminus points.
You can't define a "fixed" point in space without using something as reference. Might as well use the Earth.
The John Titor writers/hoaxers said that the Time Machine had two quantum singularities. They added the second one to lock the travel to earths gravitational field after their testing put the machines miles away
There is no "fixed" point in the universe. Everything is relative. A time-travel story that takes into account the motion solar system around the galaxy or somesuch is trying to be clever but actually fails science harder than the naive "same location on Earth" approach.
Don't forget to bring a plumbus!
Seems like elevation might be important toβ¦
Nah. With Lat/Long elevation can just be clamped to the local surface maxima.
Given the temporal resolution is 24 hours, you don't want to try to time travel into an aircraft, you could miss by up to 12 hours. You could maybe dial that in by trail and error via sqwimble setting but if you go that route you probably shouldn't assume form.
Fml i didn't quit reddit to come here and see old reddit posts
This is a Reddit alternative so I'm not sure what you were expecting.
I was expecting alternatives to old reddit posts lmao
You know, for TimeWindows95, it recommended a Sqwimble value based on the date and how many birds might be the area at the time you picked. It was usually 7 or 9.
Set it to 20 once and that's how I ended up not being a twin anymore.
Make sure you use the right bush.
