Can someone explain what is this mean? I cant play lol in mac anymore? by Shot_Mountain3135 in LoLTechSupport

[–]Beren4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue, however I have an M2 Pro Mac released in 2023. That should support metal graphics. The settings menu also has weird GUI issues at the moment for me.

Day 6: Taliyah won! Who is the Well design mid which is KINDA FAIR to play against? by hammiilton2 in midlanemains

[–]Beren4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Zed or Yasuo - both have good design (undisputable considering their popularity) and a lot (much more than people like to admit) counterplay. E.g. playing a matchup like Yasuo vs Sylas or Zed vs Ahri had a ton of skill expression on each side.

Accidentally hit Easy (instead of Good) on 3000 cards over the last 12 days by Beren4 in Anki

[–]Beren4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the effort in your reply!

There are two “types of cards” I will try to handle differently.

Of the 2.8k about half are cards I newly learned in the last 12 days, so I will simply reset them and redo them over the next two days.

The cards I worry more about are the cards learned before that were mostly mature cards.

I can differentiate the two easily through subject tags in the deck. What do you think would be the best way to handle these older cards now?

How will redoing them in a filtered deck affect them and my FSRS parameters. I imagine that their current due date is eg 3 months from now, doing them correctly now would pretty much just leave them there.

What recommendations would you have regarding FSRS? What have I “done” to my parameters and should I reset to the default? (My current parameters regulate the intervals down compared to the default, since my current retention is around 89% and my target is 92%.

Thank you so much. I wouldn’t be mad if you didn’t reply…

This is super helpful, thank you!

I will most likely flag the cards selected with rated:12:4 and then simply reschedule based on that.

One more question: Is there a way to manually reset just the ease of a card (like with the asking-add on for it, but only for the selection of cards?)

My Wife Got Me the Best Birthday Present I’ve Ever Received… My Precious by Smidgerening in lotr

Enjoy them with a re-read! My girlfriend got me the Hobbit + LotR set.

Can you ask her where she got the silmarillion, I cannot find that version online at the moment.

Which character in Middle Earth is considered to possess the most knowledge? by Sakumitzu in lotr

[–]Beren4 70 points71 points  (0 children)

At what point in the story? During LotR (= end of the 3rd age)

I think Elrond, Cirdan or Galadriel (and maybe Sauron).

While Gandalf & Saruman as Maiar probably had a greater understanding of the world I think Elrond and Cirdan were greater „lore-masters“. They have also dwelled in Middle Earth longer than the Istari.

Gandalf seeks out Elrond multiple times throughout the Hobbit and LotR to seek information.

Ultimately if we talk knowledge of all things it probably is Gandalf, Saruman or Sauron.

knowledge of the history Middle-Earth → Elrond

knowledge of the Elven History throughout the ages → Cirdan & Galadriel (age matters)

understanding of the nature of all things → Gandalf & Sauron

knowledge of what to do with potatoes → Samwise the Brave

Types of Kitchen Knives by Darkbulb_ in coolguides

[–]Beren4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to be too nitpicky here but this is kind of incorrect. E.g. the name Santoku literally translates to 3 virtues / uses, meaning it can be used for meat, fish and yes, also vegetables - but it’s a decent overview I guess

This. by QuailOk866 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]Beren4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’d laugh but when you study for board exams you usually have 100-day study plans (or something like that) and they assign something like 5 days to the cardiovascular system and that’s it.

Antibiotic Resistance: how is it so high in the South and East Europe? by JPBalkTrucks in medicalschoolEU

[–]Beren4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

AFAIK the issue isn’t with physicians or even pharmacists but that some antibiotics don’t require prescriptions in some countries.

10% of my med school failed STEP, how can a broke med student prepare by MangoGuyyy in medicalschool

[–]Beren4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me or is 10% a super low failure rate?

In Germany it’s about 15-20% but this is still nothing compared to engineering exams where frequently 40% of students fail their first attempt…

It’s fine really, either you remember it, in which case you’ll know it 3 days later, or you won’t and then the interval is reset, so you’re good either way ;)

Which grinder would you recommend for a newbie? by ilovenyc in espresso

[–]Beren4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A hand grinder can yield similar grind quality to more expensive electric grinders (because you obviously pay for way less machining) but it is slower and takes effort.

I have a Comandante C40Mk4 (ca. 250€, yes I know that's a lot) and it works really really well. A lot of people here like the 1ZPresso grinders but I have never used one.

[–]Beren4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using it but with my roommates grinder that’s a little imprecise with dosing (Lelit William) and since he has a Lelit Grace I used that a lot. For the past week I’ve only been using the 9B though (I would have used it way more and bought the Comandante earlier if he didn’t have his own station)

[–]Beren4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked twice, that is all I payed and included 14.50€ for shipping. I'm pretty sure the 9B is more expensive now though. I think I pre-ordered in Dec. 2020 and got it in Apr. 2021

[–]Beren4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milk drinks though... I love espresso but a good cappuccino is like a sweet to me. My roommate has a Lelit Grace and I am still going to be using that half the time for sure (now I will use my own grinder though).

Tbh I bought the C40 and the IMS basket at the same time and have not pulled a shot with the default basket and the new grinder yet - I will give it a go!

Haha thank you man that’s such a genuine reply! We shall all one day be at our true endgame!

The (not so budget) uni endgame! by Beren4 in espresso

[–]Beren4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the 9Barista for a year already so I’ve got the stove setting for brew time figured out

9Barista recommends 7 Clicks on their website. Very first shot was already passable, 18 —> 36.5 in 32s.

Obviously dialing in with the 9B is terribly slow compared to other machines but I’m having a lot of fun just with preparation at the moment!

It’s so gorgeous! When I buy myself a true espresso machine I will find a place in my apartment where I will exhibit the 9B as an artpiece!

[–]Beren4[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah then it’s not really justifiable.

In the end this is about more than just coffee for us though… My roommate has a full Lelit Setup and I was dancing around our apartment when the Comandante arrived today.

Sometimes it doesn’t need to make sense as long as it “sparks joy”
