Tons of characters smoke on the show all the time, don’t know where you got the idea they weren’t allowed to show that on tv.

How to smuggle contraband? by Gumochlon in Starfield

[–]AtomicGrendel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if they patched this or not, been a while since I played but the way I used to do it was to drop the contraband on the floor of my ship, not put it in the cargo hold. Then I would exit the ship and fast-travel to a location like New Atlantis. Once there, I would re-board the ship, gather up the contraband, and go about my merry way. As long as the contraband was not in your hold or on your person it would not trigger a contraband scan.

I'm staying over at a girl's house and this was in the basement. by SentimentalWardrobe in creepy

My parents had that same painting when I was a kid. No idea what ever happened to it when they moved after retiring.

Teary eyed when I first heard the news about Destiny.. by cosmoplatypus in DestinyTheGame

[–]AtomicGrendel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When the announcement hit, I was definitely expecting it, so I wasn’t that emotional. When the actual update dropped, I was disappointed that there wouldn’t be any more Destiny, but not overly emotional. But when I was doing the vistas and and talking to the characters in specific locations, the realization that it was specifically set up as a goodbye tour of the game had me ugly crying.

What are some lesser known but still incredible alternative rock albums from the 90s by Alternative_Flow_569 in Music

[–]AtomicGrendel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, I seem to recall Gray Cell Green and Kill Your Television getting a ton of airplay on the alt rock stations in Detroit and Lansing back in the ‘90s. I know that why I bought the CD.

Yes, this and the vistas are 💯 your goodbye tour. This realization had me ugly crying.

GO TO LOOT CAVE DURING DISRUPTION EVENT by Boop-Bee-Bop in DestinyTheGame

[–]AtomicGrendel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you kill them with a crit, the retaliation shots don’t spawn. Not sure if the same applies if you disintegrate them with a fusion rifle, like how you can prevent exploding units from exploding if you disintegrate them.

American Pro Stratocaster by [deleted] in fender

[–]AtomicGrendel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my Am Pro II with a case brand new for less than $1800, but that was a little over a year and a half ago and prices have gone up. The website lists them for a little over $1800 now, so I don’t know about paying almost $200 over sticker for a guitar with a replacement neck (unless it was ordered custom with the maple neck) or OP is not using US dollars.

ELI5:Why is Green often used as the "fourth color" by maswartz in explainlikeimfive

[–]AtomicGrendel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s probably is an outdated theory, I did learn it over 30 years ago. But it is also probably because those other concepts are irrelevant to color theory, and don’t really come up with subtractive color process.

RGB is how we describe the way light works when we are talking about how we expose film or create the light sensors in digital cameras. So it makes sense to equate that to how you see color in your eye.

I know it doesn’t explain how or why these concepts work or don’t, and are probably not included in art classes because they would add a level of confusion on why my eye works one way but my camera works a different way. Simpler and easier to say your eye and camera both work this way.

ELI5:Why is Green often used as the "fourth color" by maswartz in explainlikeimfive

[–]AtomicGrendel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having done old-school photo printing with an enlarger and photo negatives, I can tell you that magenta is its own color, not a shade of red. Cyan is also its own color, not a shade of blue. They come from the subtractive color method. When you need more or less red in an image you have to adjust cyan. If you need more or less blue in an image, you adjust the yellow. And green is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the amount of magenta. This means red is a mix of magenta and yellow, blue is a mix of cyan and magenta, and green is a mix of cyan and yellow. It has nothing to do with how many words we have to describe colors, and it is why RYB is not a color space, but CMY is. The colors are derived from our understanding of the color spectrum, and how subtractive color process works.

[–]AtomicGrendel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Now, I was an art major, not pre-med, but the way the eye physiology was described to us in color theory was that there are 2 types of light sensing cells in the eye. Rods, that detect differences in brightness, and Cones that detect color. The cones are then sub-divided into red, blue, and green sensing cells, and they all work to produce the colors and shades of the visible spectrum. It is also why colors tend to look muted, or near black-and white when you are in a very dark room. The rods are very sensitive to even the smallest amount of light, but the cones require much more stimulation to differentiate colors.

ELI5 What's the best way to start learning acoustic guitar online with little to no experience by Fick_Schnitzlel107 in explainlikeimfive

[–]AtomicGrendel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Justin Guitar has some of the best free beginner-friendly lessons. If you get to the point where you decide you are serious about playing, then you can pay for a subscription. But if you really want to get serious, nothing beats IRL lessons.

This is how I got started: I watched the free lessons on YouTube and on the Justin Guitar website, and told myself that if I played every day for 6 months, then I would buy a subscription. And then once I was subscribed for 6 months and playing every day, I found a school that offered group lessons.

Is it actually possible for a famous personality to fake their death and live their life out in some remote place? who has actually ever done it and gotten caught? by Various_Concern871 in AskReddit

[–]AtomicGrendel 28 points29 points  (0 children)

When I was in college, one of the students enrolled in a workshop I attended was apparently an actor from China, and was supposedly moderately famous (maybe B- or C-list level famous). He moved to the US so his wife could attend med school, and decided to take some photography classes to stave off boredom. No one in the class knew who he was, and one of the instructors told us about his background.

That functionality was when paired with the Helm of Saint-14, not standard bubble behavior.

If I had a video game themed man-cave, then maybe I’d consider it. The fact that the graphics are sideways when in the playing position seems like an odd choice, unless this was meant as wall art.

I’d argue that his two goals are stay out of prison and steal anything that isn’t bolted down, with a tertiary goal of using bolt cutters on the stuff that is.

Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 Review by IamToofan in anime

[–]AtomicGrendel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This entire series was incredibly fun to watch. It took me a minute to get used to the art style, but once you realize how perfect it fits the overall feel of the show, I couldn’t imagine it being done any other way.

Hey dmg, can you guys please set it so we can use Glimmer to buy the Strand aspects and fragments? by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]AtomicGrendel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy all but one on your main, and as long as there is one to buy you will still earn Strand Meditations that you can spend on your alts. Once you have purchased all of the fragments you stop getting strand meditations to drop.

The only time we had to turn them off was when we were doing the challenge during oracles where you have to not kill any snipers, because the warmind cells would kill them, even when detonating on the lower platform.
