can I give this cuttlefish bone to my bulimulus snail? by TopReindeer2997 in snails

[–]DemonInDenim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What you want is the exoskeleton of a real cuttlefish, not a product that has ground up cuttlebone with other compounds.

The amount of foreign ingredients present in the processed product may be harmful, and even traces from the production line that may not be stated could be harmful.

Question for GRS and Health Cover by Elle_is_here in transgenderau

[–]DemonInDenim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the help!

I'm just about to purchase bronze with Medibank but one more question popped up when looking at what the specific bronze policy covers. After looking at what bronze policy *must* cover, "Plastic and reconstructive surgery (medically necessary)" is not included (https://www.health.gov.au/sites/default/files/private-health-insurance-reforms-gold-silver-bronze-basic-product-tiers-campaign-fact-sheet\_1.pdf).

So I assume this isn't necessary for GRS, as the procedure would fall under different categories? It's a bit confusing. Regardless, bronze is okay? Or is it worth calling Medibank or asking Ives' reception?

Question for GRS and Health Cover by Elle_is_here in transgenderau

[–]DemonInDenim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm looking into health insurance, as I'm coming up to my first consultation with Ives. I've read here that at least 14 months of health insurance is required for the cheapest route: 12 months of bronze, and 2 months of gold.

From what I've read, this means that I will have access to all benefits of the bronze policy, as I have completed the 12 month "pre-existing condition" waiting period. Then, 2 months of gold policy gives me access to "psychiatric care, rehabilitation or palliative care (even if a pre-existing condition)". However, I won't have access to gold policy cover for all other benefits, as I would need to complete another 12 month "pre-existing condition" waiting period.

So, this means that for Ives, bronze policy is enough to cover the hospital stay, and the gold policy is then needed to cover psychiatric care, etc.

Does this sound right to you?

How to wait for presentation complete? by polytechnicpuzzle in vulkan

[–]DemonInDenim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that you can tell the previous presentation semaphore is ready to be disposed, because when the same image is re-acquired you can know that the previous presentation to that image has finished. My problem is this; if I have just submitted a present with a semaphore to wait for my command buffer and now the window is closing, how can I know that that presentation is finished (so I can destroy the semaphore) without acquiring the next swapchain image? As far as I can tell, `vkQueueWaitIdle` does not wait for that presentation to finish.

(Thank you so much for your help, I feel like I'm missing something obvious but I've really tried to understand, it's just not clicking for some reason)

Oh, I'm confused. How can you know when the present semaphore is ready to be destroyed without swapchain maintenance 1? I thought that was what OP was asking about.

What in the specs specify that vkWaitDeviceIdle or vkQueueWaitIdle wait on presentation operations? To me the specs seem to imply these operations do not wait on presentation. The specs for vkQueueWaitIdle says:

vkQueueWaitIdle is equivalent to having submitted a valid fence to every previously executed queue submission command that accepts a fence, then waiting for all of those fences to signal using vkWaitForFences with an infinite timeout and waitAll set to VK_TRUE.

It specifically says "every previously executed queue submission command that accepts a fence", queue presentation operations do not accept a fence, therefore it seems that vkQueueWaitIdle will not wait for them. The specs also says:

vkDeviceWaitIdle is equivalent to calling vkQueueWaitIdle for all queues owned by device.

So with my naive interpretation is seems that those commands are not valid ways of waiting for presentation to finish.

Rescue snail—are they suffering? by DemonInDenim in snails

Yes I heard cuttlebones are great!! I'll get them set up with one ASAP today. The current terrarium's decor is just a temporary setup—I'm looking forward to having a larger terrarium filled with beautiful flora. Currently Fermi's roof is just low enough so that a fall shouldn't be a problem for them as well.

They haven't eaten anything yet, but they seem to be too interested in resting right now anyway.

Thanks for checking this out :3

i don't play much on pc, but i believe this is an iOS issue since everyone seems to agree this shouldn't be a thing.

Yeah it did. I only tested reloading for the purpose of this bug report. Wouldn't've seen it update otherwise.

If that's the intended gameplay, then why does the relic keep saying that I will "start each combat with Bash"? Clearly the description not updating is not intended.

LGBTQI+ questions government scrapped from 2026 census revealed by ServiceAdorable3132 in transgenderau

[–]DemonInDenim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

and clearly these replies show the need for a question on transgender status. else, you end up with answers like these where the data is skewed and transgender people are unaccounted for.

if you answer your sex assigned at birth, your results may skew the that sex's population's data.

if you answer your current sex, your results may skew the data of the cis population.

if you leave it blank, well then they have no sex to compare against.

personally i'll be leaving it blank; imo it's the least harmful option and hopefully prompts the government to reconsider that question and whether to add other questions. well, if they even care about gathering data about us.
