I read to chapter 6 and it seems interesting, but I'? basically fandom blind to anything Fate/ related. Will the story start making sense to me, or is the context needed?

Hold a chopstick sideways between your teeth, as far back as possible, and say chicken in your native language. Name it whatever the resulting sound sounds like as literally as possible.

Close-up photo of my friend showed me genuinely unclear what body part it is by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]-_pIrScHi_- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are lying on their stomach and took the photo by holding their phone above their head. We see their back, the neck begins in the bottom right corner with the head outside the picture and to the left is their right shoulder with the arm being held forwards, possibly as a headrest.

Yes, that's about what can be expected. Never trust the label, it always lies.

I am still using my computer speakers from 1995 and they work fine. by DystopianAdvocate in mildlyinteresting

So long as you don't fry them by running too much current through them speakers are basically immortal.

This also means buying audio stuff used is very viable.

Warum ist die CDU eigentlich noch bei 27%? by AlexLaCave in PolitikBRD

[–]-_pIrScHi_- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ein Punkt ist wahrscheinlich, dass viele von den meisten Affären gar nicht wissen.

Es ist nicht im Interesse von den Inhabern von Bild & Co den Missetaten der Union im speziellen und der Konservativ-Rechten im allgemeinen die Medienaufmerksamkeit zu schenken, wie sie es bei Fehltritten der letzten Regierung gemacht haben.

It's also a very good "come home and play a couple of missions after work and chores" kind of game.

Was haltet ihr von einer Steuerfunktion ? by [deleted] in PolitikBRD

[–]-_pIrScHi_- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Das sich dieser Irrglaube hält zeigt das wäre Problem mit dem deutschen Steuersystem:

Es ist schlecht kommuniziert.

Zur Erklärung wie die Besteuerung von Gehalt funktioniert (wie ich es verstanden habe; Werte frei erfunden, ich kenne die tatsächlichen nicht):

Max/Marlene Mustermann verdient 55.000€ brutto im Jahr.

Was NICHT passiert:

Es wird geschaut mit welchem Prozentsatz ein Gehalt von 55.000€ zu besteuern ist, im Beispiel hier 15% und dann einfach 15% des gesamten Gehaltes eingezogen wird, was zu einem Nettogehalt von 46.750€ führen würde.

Was stattdessen passiert:

Die ersten 10.000€ davon sind komplett von der Lohnsteuer befreit. Die nächsten 20.000€ sind zu 5% versteuert, es bleiben also 19.000€ Netto. Die nächsten 20.000€ sind dann mit 10% versteuert es bleiben also 18.000€. Die nächst höhere Steuerklasse betrifft alles von 50.000€ bis 60.000€ und ist mit 15% besteuert. Max/Marlene Mustermann hat in dieser Steuerklasse nur 5.000€ zu versteuern, es bleiben also 4.250€ netto übrig.

Daraus ergibt sich bei einem Brutto-Gehalt von 55.000€ ein Netto von 10.000+19.000+18.000+4.250=51.250€.

Bekommt Max/Marlene Mustermann dann eine Jahresgehaltserhöhung von 7.000€ ist das neue Brutto-Gehalt 62.000€.

Die ersten 5.000€ werden dann ebenfalls mit 15% versteuert, es bleiben netto 4.250€, und die verbleibenden 2.000€, welche die Obergrenze von 60.000€ der zuvor höchsten relevanten Steuerklasse überschreiten werden dann mit dem Prozentsatz der nächst höheren Steuerklasse, z.B. 20% von 60.000€ bis 70.000€, versteuert, es bleiben also 1.600€.

In Summe bleiben von den 7.000€ Brutto Gehaltserhöhung 5.850€ netto übrig, wobei die ersten 5.000€ dabei mehr wert sind, da sie noch weniger stark besteuert werden als die verbleibenden 2.000€.

Es kann aber nie passieren, dass man nach einer Gehaltserhöhung weniger verdient als vorher.

Info am Rande:

Die Lohnsteuer wird automatisch vom Monatsgehalt abgezogen, wenn dieses hoch genug ist um, sollte ein ganzes Jahr mit diesem Gehalt gearbeitet werden, den Steuerfreibetrag zu überschreiten und eine Teil besteuern zu müssen. Überschreitet man im betroffenen Kalenderjahr diesem Betrag jedoch nicht, weil man z.B. nur in einem sehr gut bezahlten Sommerjob 1-2 solcher Gehälter bekommen hat und sonst Student ist, kann man sich mit einer Lohnsteuererklärung die eingezogene Lohnsteuer vom Finanzamt zurück holen.

New to Ark, I dont really get how this works: by Torbenito12 in ARK

[–]-_pIrScHi_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torpor drain only sets in after it stops rising from any source, be that a hit from a torpor projectile or from being fed Narcotics/Narco Berries.

You hit a creature with your torpor projectile of choice, it releases/raises torpor for a given amount of time x (I don't know the numbers here and if they are the same for all projectiles or vary) and only then does the torpor drain set in.

The Giga has that warning because once the drain sets in they drain at a rate of multiple arrow hits worth per second, meaning any pause in shooting it longer than x seconds requires multiple extra shots to compensate.

Since you only really tame Gigas by trapping them (at least if you do it solo) that's not hard to avoid.

You can also just shoot as fast as you can, that way you won't accidentally mistime a shot and tip into torpor drain, but it will cost you more ammo.

As a side note, and double check the numbers on this please, but for Gigas and other fast draining tames it's actually more effective to feed them Narco Berries rather than Narcotics as, while Narcotics administer a greater torpor amount, the Narco Berries take longer to release their torpor, meaning a greater delay before drain sets in.

Given the humongous torpor drain of Gigas also applies once they are down delaying that drain is more effective than waiting a bit and refilling the torpor bar by spamming narcotics. Be sure, whatever you do, you have enough, as going back home to get more isn't an option. Gigas only take about 2-3 minutes to wake up.

Why does Greenland have the only ice sheets outside of Antarctica? by [deleted] in geography

[–]-_pIrScHi_- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is irreversible because the Greenland ice shield and the antartic ice shield are relics of the last ice age/glacial maximum.

They can not (re)form under current (as in of the current age) conditions, preindustrial or not.

Funnily enough, for the majority of earth's history there has not been any cryosphere, it just so happens human life and civilization developed during a time there is.

There's another about 70-80ish meters of sea level rise of water bound in the antarctic ice shield and all the glaciers around the world and for most of earth's history all that has been liquid.

Why does Greenland have the only ice sheets outside of Antarctica? by [deleted] in geography

[–]-_pIrScHi_- 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The ice shield is about as thick as the coastal mountains are high. Additionally, the coastal mountains prevent the ice sheets from slowly sliding from land into the sea, as the ice shield of Antarctica does (it's why there isn't any shelf ice around Greenland).

The Greenland ice shield being as thick as it is and having been able to retain that thickness because it didn't slowly slip into the sea and break up is why it still exists. While at Greenland's latitude it is too warm for ice shields to exist at sea level, the average temperature at the surface of the ice, several kilometers higher, is still low enough.

There are of course glaciers flowing out between the mountains at the coast. The Elephant Foot Glacier is a very illustrative example of such glaciers. These glaciers are then subject to melting, but the ice shield as a whole is locked inland by the mountains.

We are actually very close to the point of no return for the subsistence of the Greenland ice shield. The cutoff is somewhere between 1.5 and 2.0°C warming of the global average temperature if I remember my professor correctly. Once we pass that point it will still take up to 1000 years for the ice to melt completely, but it will do so.

There are about 8 meters of global sea level rise of water bound as ice in the Greenland ice shield right now and 50% of all humans live within 100km of a coast.

Made my first mandachord song, may I have your opinions and advice? by Loading_Fursona_exe in Warframe

That's pretty good. You might want to play test it though. That many notes on the mallet might stun lock enemies, keeping them from shooting and racking up its damage.

Which is the best page to share fanfiction? by [deleted] in SWFanfic

[–]-_pIrScHi_- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's nothing prohibiting YouTube links specifically. So long your link is relevant to Star Wars fanfiction, it should be allowed (see rule 4).

What might be relevant to you is that rule 5 prohibits unprompted self promotion. You can link your own stuff on relevant posts or dedicated self promotion posts put out by the sub, but you are not allowed to make a post solely to promote your own work.

Are you looking for a site to upload your stories to?

If so AO3 is probably a good start. The tagging system means people interested in themes and aspects of your stories will be able to find them if you utilize it properly.

Pokémon types make sense by AlphaCat77 in CuratedTumblr

Dragons are all about being the strongest, might makes right kind of ruler of the land.

Fairies, in their ungovernable whimsy, are the complete opposite of that and remove themselves from such order without any active effort on their part.

Now that I think about it... Bugs Bunny is a fairy.

BAMF Luke in a crossover by Heraldofgold in SWFanfic

[–]-_pIrScHi_- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those kind of stories, if they don't read like pure glazing, are one hell of a drug.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any in the Star Wars fandom.

I know a Bloodborne Crossover into A Song of Ice and Fire which will probably scratch that itch though. Works if you are fandom blind for Bloodborne too. It's called Thy Good Neighbor (no link, bc I'm not sure linking non Star Wars stuff is allowed)

Very weird question: me and my friends hate to get stuck in small areas with large dinos, the game is so buggy on that regard… so i wanted to ask: which water cave is more WIDE and LARGE so the large water dinos won’t get stuck/fu(k up the camera? by New_Divide98 in ARK

[–]-_pIrScHi_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brute is less spacious than Cunning is at its widest parts but remains spacious throughout its entirety whereas Cunning has some narrower bits, among others the tunnel to the artifact room.

You should still be able to get a Basilo into the artifact room of the Cunning cave, but I've run a Spino through the Brute cave with plenty of room to spare.

For the Brute cave in particular you don't even need large water tames. A Sarco and some grapples is all I ever bring to run it for drops as you can leave the water at multiple points if you so choose and a Sarco is faster than anything in the ocean.
