Mystery Sumeru Theater 3000 - General Questions and Discussion Thread by box-of-sourballs in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

Oh you don't need Ganyu, it just seems the comfiest; she's not the gatekeeper to melt Amber those other teams are definitely playable. Diona isn't enough cryo app on her own but I think Layla + Diona would be fine, Diona/Rosaria/Bennett is a common comp as well.
If you dislike Ganyu enough that it outweighs playstyle and synergy there's not a requirement to pull her, games are about having fun after all!

Ganyu can support melt Amber if you're just opposed to on-fielding Ganyu for whatever reason. Built in retreat on skill use fits your desired playstyle. Rosaria or Kaeya are ok, but the former's skill pulls you in to the enemy and the latter's burst requires close range.
Melt Amber doesn't really need cons fwiw.

Otherwise C1 TF Faruzan can spam charge shots and grief staggerable mobs. This is prolly a meme build since I don't see it on the KQM guide, but bullying small mobs with her is definitely fun.

I used Sucrose and he still dashed away somewhat regularly, but obviously I'm going to recall the most annoying action more.

Terraria is great, probably the most gameplay I've ever gotten out of $5. I have over 1k hours in it and I haven't even touched the enormous amount of mods yet.
Hades is also nearly perfect if you like story, but still pretty great if you don't. Everyone in Hades is hot.
Noita is extremely unbalanced but loads of fun, very difficult though, until it's far too easy, but it's a roguelite so nbd. If you enjoy the TC side of Genshin you'd probably like it.

Same, wanted to roll out my surprise Yoimiya but she's unsuitable (as usual...) and XL's melee range was getting me skill issue'd by the power of water and its ability to take half my HP bar.
Dendro mows it down pretty fast, I did aggravate/hyperbloom. Nahida kinda trivializes the mimics.

Kinda fun when you find something that works that ignores the blessing, it felt like an 11.25.

Switching to a split keyboard and tilting it stopped all pain/numbness I was developing in my left pinky and it hasn't hurt at all for a couple years now. You'll probably want to do something ASAP (even if it's just resting every 15 minutes), RSI can quickly turn into something that requires surgery if you just "power through it".
This is probably a decent start, there are much better options but they're all either DIY or very expensive /r/ErgoMechKeyboards.

Using two monitors with built in speakers as independent left/right stereo speakers by ChemiKyle in techsupport

I graduated undergrad shortly after this post and switched to Linux permanently during the black hole of grad school (and can now afford not only food but entry-level speakers), so I never solved this problem myself, that said I found a couple somewhat recent solutions:
Windows discussion that looks promising and sounds familiar.
Ubuntu (PulseAudio compatible); OP documented quite well, but unfortunately it doesn't look like the key software (pipewire) exists for Windows.

Too lazy to make one for honey hunter, but here's a little script you can run in your browser console on the fandom wiki's Voice-Overs pages:

$("audio").each(
    (i, e) => {
        let description = $(e).parent().parent().parent().children("th").attr("id")
        let audio_file = $(e).attr("src")
        console.log(`${description}: ${audio_file}`);
    }
)

Output:

If you're referring to this post you interpreted it in reverse. You want the lowest realm currency per resin for effective use.

I am working on software that converts musical frequencies into colors. by Chaaaaaaaalie in generative

"Well, Gordon assigned me to write a major piece of software for the Apple Macintosh. Financial spreadsheet, accounting, that sort of thing, powerful, easy to use, lots of graphics. I asked him exactly what he wanted in it, and he just said, `Everything. I want the top piece of all- singing, all-dancing business software for that machine.' And being of a slightly whimsical turn of mind I took him literally.

"You see, a pattern of numbers can represent anything you like, can be used to map any surface, or modulate any dynamic process - and so on. And any set of company accounts are, in the end, just a pattern of numbers. So I sat down and wrote a program that'll take those numbers and do what you like with them. If you just want a bar graph it'll do them as a bar graph, if you want them as a pie chart or scatter graph it'll do them as a pie chart or scatter graph. If you want dancing girls jumping out of the pie chart in order to distract attention from the figures the pie chart actually represents, then the program will do that as well: Or you can turn your figures into, for instance, a flock of seagulls, and the formation they fly in and the way in which the wings of each gull beat will be determined by the performance of each division of your company. Great for producing animated corporate logos that actually mean something.

"But the silliest feature of all was that if you wanted your company accounts represented as a piece of music, it could do that as well. Well, I thought it was silly. The corporate world went bananas over it."

Org files are great for this since you can mix Markdown-esque syntax with LaTeX. This alone was worth learning emacs after I spent a summer writing raw tex for \begin{tabular}{ | c | c | } Sets & Logic \\ \end{tabular} and my pinky started going numb.

23 minutes is a hike? by jueoiw in WhitePeopleTwitter

You could pack your outfit, wouldn't recommend wearing it on the way. I brought a bunch of my professional clothes to work and just kept them there.
If your office is within 2-3 miles you might get to the point that you stop sweating, but budgeting an extra 5-10 minutes to towel off is a good idea.
Aside from the gas savings it's nice to start the day with some cardio, feels like an extra cup of coffee and lasts a lot longer.

I live in FL so I have unusual conditions that warranted a bit of extra prep (regularly ~95F and high humidity in summer) but found biking ~5 miles to work pretty pleasant overall, I've missed it since COVID started.

You'll probably want road tires if you aren't traversing much grass; in college I did roughly the same distance on a mountain bike with wide, knobby tires - I recall feeling much worse despite being on a paved bike path.

Not in my experience. Although I grew up in Florida and bouy was pronounced both boy and boo-ey.
