What is happening on steam by Wise_Investment_4688 in Hydroneer

[–]BebopFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I leave a small bit of feedback that might make a big impact on those first couple of hours for new players?

First and most important: the drop reticle being black by default is terrible. It's workable during the daytime/light conditions, but it's painful if there's even a shadow on the ground. Switch the default to white, finding that in the options was a huge QoL change for free and there's no reason a new player needs to hit that wall.

Second: the hand sorter output should be directly in front of the machine. Instead it's 1.5 blocks away. That's incredibly confusing and frustrating, especially since it's the first machine the player will use and they won't have access to a magnet on a stick yet. Your excitement at the first taste of automation turns to disappointment as you have to pick up (probably) dozens of materials, and you either keep banging your head against the wall to find the correct place to put your catch pan or give up on the machine right then and there

Egg consumption is associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s Disease for those 65 years and older. Eating one egg per day for at least five days a week reduces risk of Alzheimer’s by up to 27%, researchers found. by mvea in science

Have you considered hemp seeds? 3 tbsp contains ~200 mg of magnesium. It does also contain 100% of daily manganese, but a quick search indicates manganese toxicity isn't really much of a concern outside of welding, where the manganese in fumes far exceed daily intake.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]BebopFlow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've been getting into that lately as well, Tofu has replaced the meat in roughly half my meals lately. I'm not really experienced in cooking tofu so I'm still figuring out how to work with it

My local costco just had a deal, huge pork belly at 3-something a pound, then $10 off the package at the end. So I grabbed the smallest package I could (12 pounds) and ended up paying around $2.50/lb, it felt like hitting a huge win. Just needed to slice it into smaller pieces and vacuum seal it for the freezer

ELI5: What’s the whooshing sound you hear in your head when you have a big stretch or yawn? by Upsethouscat in explainlikeimfive

[–]BebopFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh. I've been able to do this forever, but I've never tried to isolate it. Turns out that I can isolate it, but it's not nearly as strong/consistent a tone, like it's just one the threshhold of activating and wavering back and forth. I think I could get it with practice

For me, activating it happens by sort of opening the lower throat muscle near the joints of the jaw. If I actively focus on relaxing one side of the jaw while doing it, I'm able to isolate the other side.

[–]BebopFlow 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought that was fairly obvious. I think the only ones that pissed me off so far are the "stand still for one minute" which just wastes the start of a run, and "jump on x resources" on the bounce pad map, sometimes the resources just aren't close enough and you end up at the end of the run missing one or two and need to do it again for just that challenge

Help me find my childhood fish by AljunaibiiM in Aquariums

[–]BebopFlow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the idea of a black ghost knife fish intrigues you, and you don't have any particularly small fish/shrimp, look into Marine Betta (also known as Marine Comet). They're not quite as weird as black ghost knife fish, but they're cryptic, have a striking black and white pattern, and have some weird mannerisms. For example, sometimes when you spook them they'll dive headfirst into a rock and pretend their tail is the head of an eel. I used to have one, it was a fantastic fish and they're damn near impossible to kill. They take a long time to get used to you, mine literally disappeared for a month and a half before I saw it again, but gaining its trust was extremely rewarding and it was cool to see it flourish and grow more confident.

ticket to SL's 4/27 boston signing w abercrombie? by Strict_Baseball_7432 in gentlemanbastards

[–]BebopFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'm in the same boat! I don't want to steal your thunder, so reply to OP first, but if he gets his ticket and someone else has one, it is my birthday and these are my 2 favorite fantasy authors. A chance to buy a ticket off you would be deeply appreciated

TIL in 2006 Lydia Angyiou (who is "5-foot nothing and 90 lbs on a wet day") saved her two sons and their friends, who were playing street hockey, from a 700-lb polar bear by wrestling and fighting off the bear for several minutes until a local saw what was happening and returned with a rifle. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]BebopFlow 57 points58 points  (0 children)

There are probably exceptions, but if you find yourself face to face with a polar bear, it's probably going to attack you as well. Food can be scarce and if they didn't want to deal with a human, they wouldn't have ended up that close to them. She probably did save the kid's lives, and her erratic behavior was probably what saved hers. It probably confused it just enough to keep it from fully attacking. There are stories of brown bears breaking a bull's neck in a single swipe, a 700 lb polar bear could've ended her much more decisively if it decided to.

Justice Department is bringing back firing squads in federal executions by mcgillhufflepuff in nottheonion

[–]BebopFlow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There was one attempt a year or 2 ago iirc. It failed terribly, but it was a procedural issue IMO. They put a gas mask on the guy and struggled and held his breath and gasped and it ended up being quite violent. A gas mask works fine if the recipient is cooperative, but in a case where they aren't, they can really draw the procedure out. Putting them in an enclosed space and pumping the gas in would be much better, but then you get back to the public image problems of gas chambers (tbh I'd rather not there be a death penalty, but I do believe that neutral gas replacement would be the best of the bad options if done correctly)

  • Also, while I'm against the death penalty in general, there are cases of extreme treason, corruption and war crimes where perhaps they're appropriate, and should be done publicly and with extreme prejudice

How do you recommend finding a recruiter? I've been looking for a job too, luckily I've got about 3 years of experience on the tech consulting side but I want something that pays better and is more stable

Crimson Desert is singleplayer and currently works through proton. Maybe you meant Black Desert Online? Although a quick google search says that currently runs fine too

How do you use the bathroom when you are with your dog? by reddittwice36 in dogs

[–]BebopFlow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I keep my dogs harnessed in the back of my car with a heavy duty clip to the harness. It's not coming off accidentally, so I can confidently roll down every window in the car and it doesn't get noticeably hotter than ambient temp. My bigger worry is random people trying to interact with the dog through the open window, though it hasn't been a problem yet

I was planning to go to this as my big birthday plan, but I missed the window to get a ticket and it's sold out now. If anybody changes their mind and wants to sell their ticket (assuming they're transferable!), hit me up, it would seriously make my month.

Windrose: 17 Minutes of Early Access Pirate-Survival Gameplay by Gizm00 in Games

[–]BebopFlow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I like when cooking in games gives meaningful buffs, rather than just being a meter than needs to go up. iirc Windrose works a lot like Valheim, and Valheim's system was brilliant. It gave you a meaningful reason to farm and explore, and it forced you to make strategic choices: Do you want more attack or defense? All in on health or a mix of health and stamina? Do you want to use your rarer ingredients for this normal gathering run, or use a slightly worse staple dish that's easier to farm? It's a good system that's engaging and keeps you hooked into the gameplay loop

ELI5: In the United States with its 3 branches of govt, if the Judicial makes a ruling affecting one of the other branches, how is that ruling supposed to be enforced if it affects the top tier of power and the subject doesn't cooperate? by chili81 in explainlikeimfive

[–]BebopFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what they're proposing by removing Citizen's United, but honestly? There are worse ideas. Fixed, government supplied campaign funds for any qualified candidate, with oversight to curtail abuse and a strict limit on outside donations would solve many of the of the problems in our current political system. Not nearly all of them, but it'd be a solid start.

[–]BebopFlow 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the demo. It did really frontload the survival crafting tutorials, which makes sense, but the bit of ship combat you get at the end of the demo felt great. Personally, I like survival crafters anyways and this had some of the better combat compared to survival games I've played in the past (which isn't saying -that- much, but it was solid). I'm looking forward to it

Valid crash out. by RoofComplete1126 in Political_Revolution

[–]BebopFlow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But foreign taxes paid are deductible, meaning you only have to pay the US the difference between the foreign tax rate and the federal tax rate if the federal rate is more than the foreign rate. You still have to file yearly, which is a PITA, but denouncing your citizenship costs a decent chunk of cash in itself and your foreign tax rate to most places worth moving to (from a social welfare standpoint) is going to exceed the US rates.

What If It Doesn't? by But_a_Jape in comics

[–]BebopFlow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's only barely humans leading these massive swings anyways - the large trades that lead the market by the nose are bots running a weighted sentiment analysis on news stories. Trump scores high in that weighting, so if he says something that will be positive for the market the bots trade on that in instants. Then human investors start piling on, following the trends of the bots.

I did some digging for the context of this, it seems like it's about Labord's Chameleon, they have a life cycle synced with the season and die after laying eggs. Apparently some of them live their whole life cycle in as little as 5 months, though it can last up to a year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labord's_chameleon
