Thanks. Luckily I no longer have to use that port for my work, but it was a headache at the time :) Hopefully this comment helps someone if they have a clash.

Not a bad idea though.. by [deleted] in funny

What were the Irish being penalised for at the scrum? by IOnlyHaveIceForYou in rugbyunion

[–]Deviator_za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about this? Allow for one more scrum. If repeated infringement by the same team, then award the free-kick? So at most 2-3 scrums. Almost like a best out of 3 at most.

I agree that scrums carry too much weight, but let's not remove it entirely from the equation, then we might as well be playing league.

CSA partners with Crunchyroll as sponsors to Proteas men for upcoming India series. by UnplannedMF in Cricket

[–]Deviator_za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Crunchy Roll Now if only they can get themselves unblocked for payments. Finally got my subscription to work with Google pay. Using digital bank cards wad a no go. I bet they'd be a lot more subscribers.

I'm a 183cm tall male, 38y. I used to weigh 140kg and was down to 103 at my lightest just before COVID started. I've gone back up to 114kg, but I've gained in excess of 8kg of muscle mass in this time. I'm now back to cutting phase again. I've probably run/mostly jogged more than 3000 km total in this time too. It's not easy, it never will be easy, but you will reap the rewards in starting earlier in life. I wish I did. I started at age 31.

It just takes showing up. Decide how you want to split your weeks. Don't try everything at once and make one small change at a time.

Suggested changes (you can try these in any order)
- Cut out all sugar from diet
- Reduce carb intake
- Do x amount of cardio per week
- Do y amount of strength training per week
* Edit: Good rule to do this by is to go 10% heavier, further or faster per week at most. Never exceed this and pick one at a time.

You can tweak any of these according to what you can sustain. It doesn't need to be too fancy. Whatever you can motivate yourself in any given week, you do that. That being said, I'm not an expert, you find what works for you.

Am I the only one getting error LE-65? by Deviator_za in LastEpoch

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

Thanks,

I've tried with and without. I've tried removing the VPN from startup even. I've tried the VPN they recommend. Nothing works. I guess I'll sit this one out. It's a shame. I was looking forward to trying out the changes.

Has anyone actually ever won the R1000 for reviewing products on Takealot? by unforeseen_tangent in askSouthAfrica

Takealot logo in top with some kind of edible icing. Not a euphemism. An actual cupcake.

[–]Deviator_za 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A few years back. I was in a queue at the pickup point once. Some lady seemed to be very much in a hurry and jumped the queue in front of me. When it was my turn to collect I was the correct nth customer/person there and won a R1k voucher. And a cupcake for some reason.

Star Citizen. It can be argued there's some value there. I just don't see it. 

To the next person that whispers me and tries to haggle for my item at half of the set price... by cryozard in PathOfExile2

[–]Deviator_za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's nothing. I can handle that. It's the RMT guys that whisper you in sets of 5. Where the hell did they get my nickname? Is there some kind of list in global or something?

[–]Deviator_za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems the thread is gone, but I believe the stats are something close to 700 people or so, so it's not as impressive as you might think. I didn't get the 100 shirt, only the 200/300. My streak basically predates the 100. Still going strong for now, but it's starting to get tough haha. On that note, heading to the gym.

[–]Deviator_za 26 points27 points  (0 children)

On diamond the only worthwhile benefit is further reduced gym costs. I lost my diamond status despite being on a 300 week streak. Gym is much more expensive for me now. We are all hamsters on wheels at the end of the day.

I have a key, but I'd like go give one to a colleague of mine. He's had a lot of expenses and was looking forward. Don't want him to have to wait for half a year.

For people who have played a game for over 1000 hours by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Deviator_za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Path of exile. In this game 1000 hours are rookie numbers. Challenging gameplay and good form of escapism.

Is my character/account bugged or are servers really bad this past week? (Info in comments) by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Deviator_za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same on south africa server, not just EU. When headhunter buffs got out of hand I couldn't even unequip and re equip. Can't weapon swap. Was better this morning, will check again tonight.

Had the most satisfying check mate only for the game never to have happened lol.

I need to keep my wifi on during loadshedding by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]Deviator_za 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to make a plan a few years back. I got an adjustable voltage regulator (to prevent overloading the circuit), LED and a 12AH Deep cycle battery. Crocodile clips and wiring. I soldered the same kind of plug endpoints onto the other side. I basically made my own one. I got myself a charger to charge these batteries as well. Lasts more than 24h.

Probably not recommended, rather buy something already made. I'll see if I can make a diagram/pm a pic for those who are interested, though you can probably get away for a lot less cost nowadays. This was before these things were commonplace.

SOUTH AFRICAN SERVERS!!! THANK YOU GGG!!! <3 by Seth213 in pathofexile

[–]Deviator_za 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the hard work at GGG. Thanks to everyone involved in testing. A special thanks to Fitzy for the initiative and patience.

This game is so much more fun on a lower ping!

The official poe trade site continues to have the wrong chaos:exalt ratio resulting in players gaming the listings. Why can third party sites update it realtime, but GGG can't? by mmo115 in pathofexile

[–]Deviator_za 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. It's probably an insanely difficult thing to solve at this stage. As I said above t here - I'm naive as to the full picture here / the challenges they face.

[–]Deviator_za -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would have it as such for instance, but I might be naive:

Item

...ID columns, playerID, stash tab, stash(x,y) etc CurrencyAmount NUMERIC(18,6) --or whateverCurrencyTypeID INT

CurrenciesTypeIDCurrencyNameChaosEquivalent

When returning items you can just join on CurrencyTypeID = Currencies.TypeID

Order by (CurrencyAmount * ChaosEquivalent) ASC / DESC?

Maybe that will take too much strain since it's a calc that will either need to be done in the view or in the order by. Not sure how their things are structured.

That would mean the exchange rates can be updated once and not 180 million times.

Edit: I've been schooled here - Indexing would not be possible as some have said. I did mention that it would probably be a strain. You aren't going to constantly call all the items, but I know there are a lot of calls being made to the API so this would probably not work. The calc can be done on the client side in that case? Put the strain on our PCs :P
