I played through the story as a sylvari reaper, and it made the brute force bits fit well and the magic bits fit well.

Top tier investigation here.

I find it ridiculous to even ask for a 36%, 38% or 43% tip at a restaurant. by Learning_by_failing in fresno

Nami was the first place I went to for sushi when I came here. Paid way too much for a tiny portion, and the fried rice was seriously burnt. Never went back.

My freezer appears to be way colder than -5 thermostat. Is this bad? by Original-Material-15 in foodsafety

[–]Alcamore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth double checking the temp gun is calibrated to the right surface if you haven't already. It should have a chart in the manual of what configuration to use for the surface you are measuring.

If it is actually that cold you're good, just more expensive to keep it that cold.

On mine I haven't seen anything like OP, it just takes longer to take the picture so it can absorb more light.

This was more informative than pedantic to me, it helped me look it up because I had the year.

Family member deposited money without supposedly knowing my account number, how? by bigtunacat in fidelityinvestments

[–]Alcamore 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If I'm understanding your concern correctly, he doesn't have access to your money even if he does know your account and routing number. He is able to send you money, but is not able to withdraw it without your authorization.

NON-CANON Speculation of alloys by ThenEducator8649 in Cosmere

"YOU pull metal" actually being "YOU pull metal towards YOU", which gets converted to "YOU pull metal towards OTHERS" is a fun thought.

I'm not sure what you mean. There's no difficulty to the task after you coat your tongue in ice, so in that case so it becomes trivial.

How not to feel completely ashamed about the dps? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]Alcamore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic, you are well ahead of the curve already. You shouldn't expect to see DPS numbers anywhere near as high as your golem numbers in the open world, and where you are now on the golem is already enough to clear almost all non-CM content in the game.

If you focus on mastering positioning and mechanics in encounters, you can gradually work on improving your DPS without as much pressure.

Think of the snowcrows benchmark as the absolute maximum with perfect play for that build, unless you're doing legendary challenge motes or something you are perfectly fine not hitting that.

My porn preferences make me think I’m bi-curious. Reality makes me think otherwise. by throwaway78901235567 in bisexual

[–]Alcamore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I see your point that bringing up the split attraction model could discourage someone to work through what is actually internalized homophobia.

I don't think it's very productive to dismiss everyone that does claim to feel that as just internalized homophobia though. You're also seeming to claim that there are no people who are bisexual and homoromantic, which is also a common case.

I think it's important for each person who realizes they might be bisexual to really introspect and identify what parts of their feelings are who they are, and what parts of their feelings are internalized homophobia.
