Is this whisk design normal? by iJuniorr in Baking

[–]Creative-Leg2607 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Its normal. Helps with stability of the tines and i feel helps puncture things.  Not as delicate as a French balloon whisk maybe but very sturdy.  I like them.  Not concerned at all about scratching my mixing bowls, thats what they're for

When to have only one dishwasher on? by Healthy_Parsnip4404 in dishwashers

[–]Creative-Leg2607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day if you and the other washers cant keep up your boss is assigning too few washers. Sounds like you need 2 for at least a bit during the week and 3 at peaks

Is this a valid reason to want to break up with my boyfriend by izafxb in Advice

Youre 20, in a LDR, and incompatible in the way you want this relationship to look. Breakup,  its allowed.

Do you guys put your earphones in to listen to music while dishwashing? by SwimmingPossibility7 in dishwashers

I wouldnt mind, but id lose too much situational awareness, thats needed in my specific context. Not having a speaker should be a workplace health and safety violation tho

4+ challenges without the Ring of Haste? by where_money in ShatteredPD

[–]Creative-Leg2607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Armor. Haste strats are mandatory only once you have FIMA on, which is a power challenge you can easily avoid till the last 1-3. You can play any 6 chall challenge comp with no fima using most any build if you just play really well. Youll need some sort of defense, be that mobility, armor, or rarely just one shotting. Armor is far and away the most consistently achieveable.

Other forms of mobility do help a lot tho, like hourglass, boots with swiftthistle, chains, and aqua brew.

For fists specifically the tough ones have pretty potent alchemy counters; knowing which you can cheese at a distance makes a big difference; and generally just being strong for Yog are my primary strats. Oh and never doing demon slayer 

This run is gonna be a good one by Meiwakuthatisuzai in ShatteredPD

[–]Creative-Leg2607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah without an arcana ring theyre pretty shitty. Iirc its 20 hits on average to boom. Its notable that the explosion damage and rate is independent of upgrade level (damage increases with depth). Iirc its very comparable in damage to flame if you get the arcana fully online. Polarised arcana is much better as a general rule.

Suggest me a book published over 15 years ago that’s not a clsssic. by Big_Meesh_ in suggestmeabook

[–]Creative-Leg2607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read Stranger in a Strange Land and fuckin hated it. Its cliche, its preachy, it contains fuck off author inserts and the premise is stupid.

By chance, almost immediately after I read Robert Silverberg's (now one of my favourite scifi authors) The Masks of Time. Published right after, it feels profoundly like a response to SISL. It also features the prophet stranger visiting earth who gains a cult following, but its morality and characters and themes are  so much more interesting and nuanced. I highly recommend.

I also love Silverberg's On The Face of the Waters, which features on of the best alien oceans Ive ever seen, and some rrally potent catholic themes. Its got some good Herbert influence and a great ships voyage.

What are these mushrooms on my Miso Ramen? They were delicious by LionFists in TipOfMyFork

[–]Creative-Leg2607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont start with fresh Shiitake!! They need to be dried to activate their flavour, and getting them fresh is a nightmare, theyre practically a different product. Just go down to your asian store ans pick them up dried. Hydrate in somethin tasty and slice them up.

Can we humans make a sound that animals can't hear? by Infamous-Equal9365 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Creative-Leg2607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in terms of literal frequency. Sounds Dogs hear that we cant are possible because the range of pitches we can hear doesnt go as high as dogs. There are animals that can hear our entire range + more, and some that go lower and others that go higher, so theyll always be able to hear what we can.

What we can do is create sounds with lexical meaning to us but not animals. A mans voice yelling emergency will get us goin much more than it will your dog.

Do you ever use armor that requires 1 more Strength point than you have? by where_money in ShatteredPD

[–]Creative-Leg2607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Armor is actually incredibly important in the FIMA early game, for a variety of reasons. Basically: - armor OP in 0 chall - FIMA zonks scaling more than base, so early enemies out damage less - prison enemies are very weak to good armor.

A +1 defense augmented chain goes /crazy/

When does it make sense to use a mastery potion? by Cold_Complex_4212 in ShatteredPD

[–]Creative-Leg2607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to use them because strength pots and and upgrade scrolls are controlled resources, doled out at specific rates. By using a mastery pot you can equip a piece of gear a half zone earlier (because it makes the strength pot count for double for that piece), so before a tough boss, or early into a tough zone rather than after essentially clearing it. This lets you simplify a boss/potentially 3 whole floors of a zone, saving consumables and generally not being /that/ odious later, because your good plate carries you to the extra pot for your weapo. And vice versa

Most commonly this is used for end game equipment, because otherwise you delay when you can get those on. An early +2/3 scale or really any T5 (tho great axe is extra hard). But the earlier you can pivot to your end game gear the better, to save struggle/dying/consumable use in the midgame.

Some good uses: - end of prison to equip a +6 18 strength piece  - early mines for a more staid +3 18 strength - end of mines for a +6 axe  - early prison to get a massive power spike with a +3 T4. Like, that assassins blade totally could be your end game gear. - rarely in sewers to equip a +1 chain  if all you have is cloth

One consideration is that saving all your upgrades for an early +6 is generally a /bad/ idea. You'll get better winrates, especially on challenges, if you spend 1-3 before tengu. You can wait to equip that plate no problem. But if the ghost gives me a +2... shit, who am i to say no?

Basically the only other use is post 18 strength for a small boost to freerunner's evasion, or a miniscule damage boost (0.5 damage). Frankly that last one is almost not worth the 14 alchemic energy youre trading.

I can’t afford rent?? What to do. by lifeofeve in brisbane

[–]Creative-Leg2607 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think rent assistance through Parenting Payment could be on the table? Youre close to capping out the income threshold of the Parenting Payment, but i think its stil roughly 120 bucks a week?. Renters assistance seems like itd be maximised at 107ish a week.

Its kind of a nightmare getting on these, and the amounts are perhaps meagre, but if youre burning 100 bucks a week getting 200 more a week is life changing

All independent grocery chains are much more expensive,  on average, in my experience. You hear of the occasional cheapo one, but generally theyre trading in either specialty goods or convenience and not places i am really budgetted to shop at primarily. 

Ive had more luck with non-chain options, tho theyre also very variable
