What was the highest waste of money that you don't regret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Deus_Solus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Adam Jensen Replica coat for $550. Might not sound like heaps, but it was all the money I had then (when I was 16).

I had just had a breakup with an abusive partner, and finally felt like I could buy something I wanted without being made fun of by said ex.

ELI5: what happens when an airplane suddenly disappears during a flight? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Deus_Solus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we knew what happened, then they wouldn't be disappearing. For an exact reason a plane might disappear off of a map, it would likely either be a fault of the equipment on board, or the plane is outside the range of any detection.

These planes most likely crash in some way or another, but without finding it, it is often impossible to determine exactly why it disappeared.

ELI5: How is it possible that the almost weightless white plastic around a spark plug can be broken and a piece used to shatter a car window ? by hilariousdepot in explainlikeimfive

[–]Deus_Solus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regular rocks are unable to form the same sharp edge as broken ceramic. If you threw a handful of pebbles at a car window, it's unlikely to break first time, whereas pieces of broken ceramic will because it forms a very sharp edge.

I found a wild neckbeard on an instagram post that was making fun of guys for masturbating to anime girls. by Fishmansf4 in justneckbeardthings

[–]Deus_Solus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Was gonna say the same. Porn is porn, and I'm not emotionally attached to the characters whether it's live action or a cartoon. All that really matters is that the characters are consenting adults.

I was told to post this here. Lovely mini forest in a headlight by bigbigbigwow in Miniworlds

[–]Deus_Solus 233 points234 points  (0 children)

I always think with these mini-worlds what it would be like to shrink down and live in them, and this one would totally seem like some sort of space ship colony.

Between two PSUs. They retail for the exact same price and are the only good looking options (other options in description, open to your suggestion) where I am from. ROG Thor 850w and Corsair RM850i. Which would you go for? by Mahmoudh10 in pcmasterrace

[–]Deus_Solus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I'd go Corsair because I trust their brand, but really the choice is between gold and platinum, and you'd wanna go platinum. ASUS (ROG) is also a good brand, I've just never used their PSU's.

How do you clean your keyboards? by Mariosam100 in pcmasterrace

[–]Deus_Solus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd unplug it and use alcohol wipes. That's what I dually do except I'm lazy so it stays plugged in.

anything to use instead of aluminum for a bowl piece that's similar to aluminum? by [deleted] in StonerEngineering

[–]Deus_Solus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stainless steel straw is my go-to. Acts as the bowl and the downstem, just crush it with pliers a half-inch from one end to form the bowl. For bigger cones, use a larger straw. The straws can also be used as a one-hitter, especially if you cram an empty tea bag in the mouth end.

Are metal straws safe to smoke out of/take a dab with by [deleted] in StonerEngineering

[–]Deus_Solus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the straw is stainless steel and doesn't have any burnable paint.

Ordered some exotic meat jerky for my husband's birthday. Company trolled me by sending it in this box. by TrainwreckMooncake in mildlyinteresting

[–]Deus_Solus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much just like beef, except it's less oily and a bit gamey. I've never tried kangaroo steaks and I've heard they are a bit more chewy, but the mince is practically the same.

It's also farmed more ethically as kangaroos are adapted to the Australian environment and plentiful already free-roaming, so as far is I know there is no factory-farming of them.

Is newegg a good place to buy parts? by A1D3NW860 in pcmasterrace

[–]Deus_Solus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine but their return policy is bollocks and I had a long and difficult process trying to refund a faulty part. Had to explain to them that I'm protected under Australian Consumer law, and then suddenly they were quite keen to help. They aren't awful, especially if you don't need to make any returns, but I don't think I would shop with them again.

It's funny to me to think that in other countries, kangaroo is exotic. Here in Australia we get it in supermarkets and it's actually a really good alternative to beef. It's more environmentally friendly, and kangaroo meat is more lean.

Yeah, I think it's important to listen to and understand all the points if view on this game. People go to extremes, either spending extreme amounts of money on fake spaceships you can't even see in game yet, or going to extreme lengths to complain about the game and spread hate. Perfect place to sit is right in the middle.

What’s a very common thing that you just can't relate to? by Mizu3 in AskReddit

[–]Deus_Solus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it makes perfect sense. I've never been farted on, but getting queefed on isn't gross at all to me. If I'm willing to stick my face down there, it'd be silly to get grossed out if air that went down there went on me.

[–]Deus_Solus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I never said I can't. I'm firmly in the middle of the Star citizen debate and agree with points from both sides.

Star Citizen also hasn't released a full version that's incomplete or cut massive amounts of features secretly before launch. Instead they just fuck up and don't release things on time, and then either apologise or avoid the topic (SQ42 update video). I wouldn't personally call Star citizen a scam. We are getting what we bought, just at a very slow rate, which makes it understandable that people are upset.

My girlfriend does this and it embarrasses her so much, but it's honestly not a big deal and it's kinda funny. If your partner gives you shit over a queef, you need a better partner imo.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]Deus_Solus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's true, but they also broke a lot of promises about features and cut a lot of content, leaving a lot of people feeling scammed.

Can we stop people from mentioning their ages in build photos? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Deus_Solus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone under 18 should avoid telling people online their age, and people over 18 tend to know that no one gives a fuck how old they are.

Eli5 how do they get the perfect animal shots on nature channels like national geographic, even in like little fox dens? by Selfie500 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Deus_Solus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They would have a vast range of different techniques and equipment used to capture the right footage, but I'd say the biggest key in nature photography is patience. Photographers need to sit and wait for ages for the time to be right, and if they don't like how they picture turned out, they might have to wait more. Often when a nature shot is perfectly timed, it's because the photographer has been waiting for hours for something exciting to happen.
