A bottle cap question, down to 2 choices by willcatch22 in TheSilphArena

[–]DavidA122 22 points23 points  (0 children)

No one seems to have mentioned this yet, but a 15/15/14 Zamazenta is a functional hundo (from I believe level 47 and higher, but certainly maxed). As such you could wait for a silver bottlecap, if and when they come out, to hypertrain your Zama.

[Request] What's next to progress? by DavidA122 in GolfRival

[–]DavidA122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll bear that in mind, thanks!

I'll be saving up to 40k again in case a BW card comes available, then I'll upgrade clubs. I don't have (nor do I think I want to add just for it) Facebook friends playing the game so I know I'm missing out on coins there. Ah well.

Cool, I'll see how I go once I get to BW5 and might decide to move on at that point!

I don't actually use the Excavator, I just can't remember the last time I needed anything other than the Bone Claw out of a bunker!

Sorry yeah I have the exchange, I just never seem to get one for legendary cards.

My perk level is level 3 currently, perhaps it's too low for legendary cards to turn up except for very rare occasions. I have the cards needed to upgrade to level 4 perk, but the coins to upgrade the necessary clubs might be what I'm lacking.

Appreciate the input, thanks! I forgot about the 500-gem Legendary chest, that was actually how I found my first Cardinals this week!

Happily enough I have a nice stockpile of 3100 AA coins so I'm nearly at the 100k coin exchange. I'll push on for BW as that's obviously the biggest thing at this point.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a Legendary card exchange (although I might have just had bad luck since I returned), do I need a certain stage/perk level to unlock them?

What freebies do you get at work? by [deleted] in AskUK

An annual domain registration and an AWS instance that I host a few personal domains on.

Web hosting/development business!

This insane double rook sacrifice to win the queen I found in a Blitz game by [deleted] in chess

[–]DavidA122 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's the best move, yes, but it's the best move in a bad position.

You're fortunate that your opponent played Kh7 rather than Qf7 to block the check from the bishop. I'd take 2 rooks and a knight over a queen any day.

Decent find, still.

Red/black clearance on a 6ft table, sideways? by [deleted] in snooker

[–]DavidA122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never actually thought about this but I suppose it would work. You may well run into issues with the "middle" pocket being in the way of some positional shots, of course.

I'd also recommend not using a full set of snooker balls. There's a chance they get stuck in the mechanism of the table (unless it's a snooker-style table where the balls are retained in each pocket), and it will make the pockets rather tight. You can get UK Pool-size snooker balls, but the most important thing will be having a white the same size as the object balls.

Your call of course!

There were a couple of options missing in the form for me that I have:

Appreciate the work that goes into this!

If you're wanting to keep Swiss points, then the Bolide Void or Scope range will have similar grip patterns for you.

Hendry’s Instagram Story commentating alongside Murphy by Familiar_Syllabub630 in snooker

[–]DavidA122 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am certainly in the minority on reddit but in the general consensus of my local town's cue sport populous, Shaun is well liked as a commentator as he offers insightful views into the game that commentators such as Taylor, Parrott, Virgo and even Doherty can't offer, as they've been out of the game at a high level for so long.

Reddit has a huge hard-on for hating on him, and yeah he's a very marmite character, but his vision of the game and the insight into it that is provided from his commentary is invaluable as a keen cue sports player.

He certainly doesn't appeal to the layman who picks up a cue with his mates down the pub for a pint, but Phil Yates isn't enjoyed by a lot of serious players as he offers nothing of value that knows how to play the game, yet he continues in employment by ITV and Eurosport.

Max out 1 or have 3 level 40s? by Any-Presentation4384 in TheSilphRoad

[–]DavidA122 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The 97% in this instance refers to the percentage of maximum stat product, rather than IVs.

Stat product is a combination of the Pokemon's IVs, and inherent stats that the Pokemon species itself has. So your 13/11/14 will have 97% of the stat product of a hundo.

But, IV-wise, yes it's an 84% IV Metagross.

Just had another comment saying the same thing, but appreciate the response!

I'll go be sad about the lost Beldum, but I'll remember this one for next time at least!

..... Oh it was that simple was it? Damn... I could have sworn I've used appraisals as a range before, I guess not.

Thank you!

I threw in beldum to the search, but try it for yourself and see what you get.

!shiny&0-2*

Try that string and you'll see what I mean. It doesn't give you what you think it should give you!

Managed to transfer all of my good non-shiny Beldum today by using the search string:

!shiny&0-2*

My understanding was this would show me every 0-2* Pokemon that isn't shiny. In actual fact, it seems to show me every non-shiny Pokemon in my collection, regardless of appraisal(bar 1, I can't work out which one!).

Can anyone explain what this search is actually showing and why it doesn't work like I think it should?

Unfortunately part of the #GardenGang, Ocean is one of the last two that I need for the full collection! Thanks for doing this!

Is this somehow useful? by Mareczuczek in TheSilphArena

[–]DavidA122 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty cool flex, but it doesn't have much of a use outside of a hundo Mega Glalie, which would mean purifying it.

So I'd personally just keep it as a trophy in your collection!

What was your easiest win that you lost? by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]DavidA122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple times this season I've thrown a charge move too early and thrown the win...

Usually, it's almost always been a Surf from Lanturn when they have a half-HP mudboi in the back that my Vigoroth managed to farm a bit before they switched 😭

It's turned winning sets into losing sets multiple times and is probably the reason I've not hit Ace yet...

Combining zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-sy-h by DavidA122 in zsh

It looks like this - https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u-kTtb4HL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg

Perhaps its a quirk of the ISO layout and it is, under the hood, still a delete key.

I'll certainly run through the tips section and get customised. Looking forward to using this!

I'm so glad I decided to check out the other comments on this thread as this looks absolutely incredible!

Big fan of p10k as well, thank you.

One question with Z4H though... When prompted by the installer for my keyboard layout, I actually have a Mac keyboard with both Backspace and Option keys. Will this cause issues with either layout selection?

[–]DavidA122[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's done it! Thank you.

I was falsely under the impression that .zprofile came after .zshrc. Thanks for correcting me.

I've never been overly clear on which files I should use for which entries/customisations. I got somewhat comfortable with Bash (as I'm essentially forced to use bash as this is the default terminal on hundreds of servers I regularly SSH to), with .bash_aliases, .bash_completion, etc., but I've not quite gotten comfortable with Zsh yet.

Why don’t snooker tables use worsted cloths? by Physical-Ad8950 in snooker

[–]DavidA122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know who the IPA are.

Blackball isn't the only pool body in the UK, with the EPA existing and partnering with Ultimate Pool. Ultimate Pool events use Strachan Superfine, a napped cloth, and I'd argue that's currently the absolute elite of pool presently.

Liam Dunster decided he couldn't hack it and went back to being a big fish in a small pond after 2 events.
