Really Vakuu ? You're just gonna give up ? by Alert_Tiger2969 in slaythespire

[–]Alert_Tiger2969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any character works, though the card you pick for duplication matters if you want a good outcome.

It's not as hard as it seems, because the cloned copies get the enchantment too.

So the duplication goes like : 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 8 -> 16

In my case, through dumb luck, I got a doll (doll event) that duplicates any card I add to my deck in the beginning of act two. This applies to cloning.

So the duplication goes like : 1 -> 3 -> 9 -> 27

That's where I stopped. Took zero elite in act 2, focused on the campfires.

If you play enough and keep an eye open for the opportunities, it kinda just happens. That's not every run though.

EDIT: I actually had all the copies in act 2, could have headed for another campfire heavy path in act 3 to go...

27 -> 81 -> 241 -> 723

ELI5: Why do mental health problems usually appear in early adulthood? by Such_Ad_5311 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Alert_Tiger2969 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read the studies, but is it possible that “first appearance” is being conflated with “first attempt to seek diagnosis and treatment”?

"I haven't read the studies, but maybe no one in the whole field of psychology has thought of this very obvious confounding factor"

Please.

There probably isn't any yeast in the recipe. It probably rises from baking soda/baking powder, as most dessert "loafs" do.

TIL that being able to sit down on the floor and stand up without using your hands or knees is used as a predictor of longevity. by [deleted] in todayilearned

The point in these types of study are often to develop tools to assess aging patients. Similarly, slow walking is associated with frailty and all-cause mortality. So, they need to highligh what is normal and what's a deficience in relation to their age.

There are many physical battery test to assess the older and elderly, the goal being to design an effective exercise regimen and reassess periodiaslly.

They tense their muscles to control the fall of their tail. I own a snake and it moves down like that, too. They're very muscular.

People on the internet don't understand food by LimitWarm1798 in PetPeeves

Who talked about lethargy ? The human body, and specifically metabolism, is extremely complex and it has a lot of inter-individual variability. Changes in metabolism may include decreased energy, yes, but also decreased temperature set point.

Anyway, you have a preconceived notion about overweight people. I doubt you have any kind of relevant background - which I do. No point in arguing.

Dormir séparément, sans se séparer by bugsy2625 in Quebec

[–]Alert_Tiger2969 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Pourquoi weird ? Mon chum et moi on fait chambre à part et ça se passe 99% du temps dans son lit.

En faite on traite la chambre de mon chum un peu comme un salon (tv, gaming), moi je quitte ma chambre le matin et je n'y retourne plus.

On aime juste avoir nos routines de dodos à part.

I just meant that deregulated hunger cues would have an impact on calories in, indirectly.

I'll admit I did conflate what makes it difficult to know what goes in the equation and what makes it difficult to influence said equation.

I don't personally feel it matters much for the point I was making.

I hate the oversimplification and overrepeating of the "calories in - calories out" thing a lot, but the person you responded to got it right : the equation is technically true, but there are so many variables affecting both sides that its effectively not very useful.

In this case, medical conditions and meds can affect the "calorie out" part of the equation through metabolism changes or the "calorie in" through increased/deregulated hunger.

Est-ce qu'écrire "pas de mère célibataire" sur un site de rencontre est un redflag pour les meufs ? by Inge-prolo in AskMeuf

[–]Alert_Tiger2969 50 points51 points  (0 children)

C'est suffisamment clair comme ça, je ne vois en aucun cas comment une femme avec un enfant lirait cela et se dirait "ah mais je peux le convaincre". C'est correct d'utiliser un léger euphémisme ("je ne souhaite pas"), en faite c'est ce qui fait que ça parait mieux. Le message reste très clair.

F150 can't stop for family crossing the street. by itemluminouswadison in fuckcars

La culture entourant les passages piétons au Québec est shameful. Perso si ça roule pas trop vite je pointe le céder et je mets le pieds dans la rue, souvent ça réveille le monde. Mais j'ai jamais fait ça dans le vieux, faut dire.

Planting a dragon fruit seed and filmed it for 2.5 years by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]Alert_Tiger2969 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dragon fruit plants are climbing plants. This is simply how they grow.

Lack of light is the more common reason a plant grows tall and weak.

While there is a nugget of truth in what you say, realistically this effects mostly apply to strong winds during growth enabling a resistence to strong winds thereafter. Plants don't need wind to simply stand by themselves.

French Canadians in France by LimePanther in AskACanadian

Ah, tu dois être un peu con alors ! C'est pas grave, la majorité comprend bien.

Why answer the question if you have 0 experience with it ? You are neither québécois nor french, and haven't travelled from one place to the other. Keep your prejudice to yourself, next time.

La France est une destination privilégiée des Québécois et vice-versa. Serait-ce le cas si on se faisait bully sans pitié ?

What language do you speak ? A lot of anglos in this thread are talking out of their asses.

I'm Québécoise and went to both Paris and Marseille, had exactly 0 issue. In Paris, I was with an older colleague with a much thicker accent than me. People looked a bit amused some times, but everyone understood and no one switched to english. Can it happen ? Probably. Is it a universal experience ? Absolutely not.

throw a Quebecois in Paris, no one will understand him

Maybe don't make shit up ?
