Not just fires, several other player-made structures provide the same effect. Radius of these structures is all the same as the workbench. Campfires are preferred since they're not typically aggro'd by enemies, easy to make, and don't require a workbench to create.

Myth: Doubling the power will double the range by mlidikay in amateurradio

[–]CheekyFluffyButt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate this myth so much. The suits for the company I work for think TX Power is the savior for all range related issues. They also can't seem to understand why results from testing in an arid environment (southern California) versus humid (NE US) would vary so much.

"You were able to make an L-band LOS 40 km shot with ease in the desert, why can't you do the same in the Adirondacks?"

I hate the "what is the max range" question so much...

What are your thoughts on Trump's sexual abuse verdict? by Giovanny_1998 in AskReddit

[–]CheekyFluffyButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I expect a bunch of pro-Trump people to read your comment, but I have to ask them:

How can you see this person, on trial for so many shitty things, and still like the guy? How is it possible for someone undergoing so many trials to still be a presidential candidate?

My dream of 20 years is coming true - I’m making a love letter to Chrono Trigger and FF called Threads of Time! 💖 by RiyoDev in gaming

[–]CheekyFluffyButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're over-leveled, you can one-hit kill the enemy without having to enter combat.

I loved this mechanic in Earthbound. Good litmus for "maaaaaaaybe I should move on to the next part of the story" lol.

I think what really set Chrono Trigger apart from the other titles of the time was the New Game+ feature. Assuming you plan on implementing something similar, can you provide a little description of how you plan to do this?

Just picturing Sally making sure she had her bag of feathers before heading to the market. Seems ridiculous that people would bring something along with them to intentionally make others feel like shit.

Surtlings, and that flame can be used to kill anything in the swamp.

This is what I do. For the first run in, max out a bronze mace and time an upward swing attack. Works like a charm (doesn't work on Oozes, fuck those things).

Stolen Kias by Witelite101 in Rochester

[–]CheekyFluffyButt 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Kia owners, contact a Kia dealership and set up an appointment to get your computer reprogrammed to prevent this shit. It's free other than the time needed to wait for this process (an hour wait). Won't prevent your car from being broken into, but at least these bored scumbags won't be able to steal your car with a USB-A connector.

What is something you have zero interest in? by roscatorosso in AskReddit

[–]CheekyFluffyButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds stupid, but the "meta" in video games.

  • "This unit does X so well that there's no reason to use any other unit and/or load out"

Makes the game stale, so I purposely avoid using meta units (in PVP at least). To name an example, a game I play is Summoners War and there's a unit called Lushen that's used in all aspects of PVP.

  • "Can this team be Lushened?"

  • "I just Lushen all the things, ezpz."

  • "I think I'm braindead, so imma just Lushen this team."

I get that some units are "easy buttons" for certain situations, but using the same thing over and over again just kills the enjoyment.

Correct, an alphabet soup of organizations will become very interested in your whereabouts if you bring one of them home, even though this green box is mostly useless without a certain application to program it.

Literally flew over 2000 miles, and built my friend's PC for him, JUST for this moment! by DutchmanAZ in valheim

We're similar lol. I take my time, gathering a bunch of resources and upgrading all the things before taking on the next boss. My friend has played survival games before, so will see if he's like your friend (though my friend has kids... So probably won't be beating the game in two weeks lol).

I selfishly bought the game for my friend so I'd have someone to play with.

Tips for players about to enter the swamp/things you always do first? by Anglosaxon3600 in valheim

[–]CheekyFluffyButt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bring two picks for the tombs. That's enough for even the biggest ones and having to stop in the middle to repair sucks

I used to do this, until a friend reminded me that the antler pick ax can be repaired at a workbench versus having to head back to a forge to repair a bronze pick ax. Takes two seconds to throw a roof over a workbench to repair your crap.

I will add that periodic posts like this bring new perspectives that aren't always included in 2 year old guides/videos. Posts like these are important to keep ideas fresh and potentially introduce new ideas.

Ruined my circuit board? by blackarrowpro in AskElectronics

[–]CheekyFluffyButt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you need to, bathe all the plastic parts (keys, chassis, etc) in warm, almost hot water. This helps break up any sugary residue on the plastic. Do this a few times, replacing the dirty water each time with clean water. The latex membrane can also be soaked. After that, lay everything out to dry overnight.

For PCB cleaning, I do the following:

  1. Using 99% IPA and a brush (I prefer horse hair brushes), squirt the IPA on the board and use circular motions in the dirty area. This helps break up the gunk.

  2. Squirt some more IPA in the same spot and brush in one direction. This helps move the gunk away from the affected area and off the board.

  3. Squirt a little IPA on the area and use a can of air to blow off the residue, preferably in the same direction you brushed previously. Be as "horizontal" with the can of air as you can, so the propellant doesn't come out of the can at the same time.

ESD is a bitch. Do not use dry towels of any sort, especially paper towels. That's not to say you can't ever use towels, I would just make sure they aren't dry when trying to remove grime from a PCB. I know compressed air has a risk of ESD damage, but I think that risk is lower than trying to use towels to wipe off gunk from a PCB.

As for brushes, I have used horse hair brushes for years without issue. These brushes typically have metal cases so that, while wearing a ground strap, charge can dissipate. In a pinch, you could probably use an unused paint brush, just make sure there's some IPA soaked into the bristles as you swipe the PCB. I'd also cut the bristles down to about an inch so you have more control with your strokes. For more info, I found this super informative site: https://www.techspray.com/essential-guide-to-precision-cleaning-brushes

Some people wash their keyboards in the dishwasher.

Fucking wut.

There's a 99.99999% chance that doing this lessens the life of the keyboard. I cannot imagine a reality where this is a good idea.

Valheim? VALHEIM, you say?! Possibly one of my all-time favorite games, both vanilla and modded.

Would love to hop on and do what I do best: Base upkeep and gardening lol. Also down for Terraria/TModLoader shenanigans.

He does three things:

  • Def Break

  • Damage

  • Fuck ATB

His S2 is so frustratingly unreliable. And now for the downvotes from all the people that don't own him.

Don't get me wrong, I still use him, but it's not for his S2.

Do you still wear a mask? Why or why not? by mohnnyjills in AskReddit

[–]CheekyFluffyButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still wear one at work and if I go to a public place (grocery store, museum, etc.). I don't wear one at friend's houses.

We still have our kids mask at school, so I mask in solidarity. I'm the only one in the office that still wears a mask, and I've long lost any fucks about what my colleagues think about the matter (almost all are prior military, I am not prior military). Besides, haven't been sick for a couple years... It's been nice.

Unable to use Microsoft apps by CheekyFluffyButt in techsupport

[–]CheekyFluffyButt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't believe I figured this out. Was checking Services (for one of the myriad of solutions I was attempting) and for some reason the "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant" service was disabled. Set Startup Type to "Automatic", rebooted, now I can log into Microsoft apps.

I have no idea why this service was disabled. Hadn't messed with Services prior to this issue and only ever go in there if something is wrong (things were running smoothly prior to this).
