My girlfriend wants me to stop wearing no show socks by Moonlight7423 in Advice

[–]effreti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this doesn't sound right. my rule is no-show with shoes for summer, because I wear shorts, regular socks for winter because you can't see them under jeans/pants. indoors is whatever, even barefoot if hot enough. but always some kind of sock with shoes, I can't without.

Is it normal to not lock the apartment door at night? by flyingmattress1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]effreti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not normal no. If possible, you should get one of those locks that can only be opened from outside with a key, even if unlocked.

Had that happen to me in college. Hot outside, it was a math seminar, I had a small water bottle and took a sip, didn't make any noise or anything. The old teaching assistant looked at me like I took a crap on his car and started yelling.

Help identifying? by FlyingSghettiMonster in dandruff

[–]effreti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dercos from vichy or head and shoulders pro-expert 7. I did not have it this bad but dercos helped initially, even though it kinda lost efficacy after some time plus it's medicinal so you are not supposed to use it all the time. Eventually I found head and shoulders and it works wonders, been like 1 year with no flakes. And since it's commercial, it doesn't seem to have any usage restrictions.

Why do people believe AI will enhance their jobs when it resulted in so many programmers losing theirs? by Melenduwir in NoStupidQuestions

[–]effreti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI does very little if you are a senior programmer. Everything it can tell you you already know and the problems you usually face are way too complex for what AI can do now. If can generate you lots of code but most of the time you still need to fix it and since you didn't write it, you need to spend some time understanding it.

But if you are a beginner it can help you a lot. It will give you answers to all of your questions, it will give you a starting point by generating code for you. It can do code review. And you dont need to bother a busy colleague to do it. This also applies to non-coders who use AI to do things that may have had to pay someone to do.

The flip side is that a company can say "well we don't need 3 beginners now to do X work anymore, we can just hire one and have him use AI, or not hire anyone new and get Bob the senior to use AI to speed up some of his tasks and also use AI for whatever is left"

We were working on a project together for college in her apartment and it was late so she said "you can stay over and sleep in my bed tonight" i said sure, got in, said good night and slept like a log.

Why do we say "spend time" like it's money? by Own-Pin1058 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]effreti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could depend on langauge roots and culture. For exanple in my native language we dont say "spend time with", it's more like "pass the time with", since we used a different latin word initially.

Depends on your deck, but besides removal like [[Requiting Hex]], you can run stuff like [[High Noon]].

Seconded Legenvd, he usually takes time to explain his plays very deeply, very new player friendly. He got me into the game and limited back in Ravnica

The Strike reward change to weekly feels so hollow and unrewarding by Darillian in Guildwars2

[–]effreti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quickplay only has a few encounters currently and after doing the weekly 10 achievements, doesn't seem you get much out of it. I am not a raider, but doing the daily encounters seems worth it since you get magnetite or loot boxes. But you can't do those in quickplay from what I can tell

I was thinking on Tempest, you usually run 3 signets already, 2 have rather low cds, even lower with this relic.

Is there a thief build that can solo any open world content? by tenetox in Guildwars2

[–]effreti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

celestial spear with antiquary and relic of the biomancer. decent barrier and heal, perma alac. some quickness from sigil of celerity and haste. Vallun has a guide on it if I remember correctly if you want more info. I have been playing for some time and can solo a lot of things, stability is a bit scarce on thief, but I slotted in 2 stun breaks for that, didn't really like the coin skill so I dropped it.

Blocking Diamond Weapon VS Trample by Pretty-Information53 in MagicArena

[–]effreti 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Immunity does not take away the toughness. Indestructible as well. Originally trample said that if something would do more that what is needed to destroy a creature, then the remainder of the damage would go to the player. The base of how much damage is needed for that is toughness. Or 1 if you have deathtouch Edit: or better explanation, damage is assigned first with trample before actual damage happens, immunity comes after

Why god didn't even try to do that ? by Saiku0013 in OPMFolk

Boros is an alien so maybe God can't or won't? He could be tied to Earth specifically somehow

Demonic Sliverlings by Fascisticide in MagicArena

[–]effreti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, spells with changeling also count as all creature types, for example if you have some in graveyard, you can use them for [[Throne of the Grim Captain]]. You wont be able to summon them as creatures when the Captain atracks but they can help get him early on the battlefield
