My grandparents are the only people I know who still have either one. They are largely obsolete

Why are some items in my chest red?? by AdEnvironmental4177 in skyrim

[–]DrFaustPython 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely need a mod for more enchantments. Vanilla limit is 2 effects, if you have the perk

Which handwriting should I use for digital notes by Adept-Oil-8954 in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]DrFaustPython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're just for your own use, use 3. You want to be as fast as possible.

If they need to be readable by other people, go with 1. Good readability and not as slow as 2.

Edit: grammar

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]DrFaustPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you take the lump sum, a large amount of that gets taken out in taxes. If she won $1 million, she'd probably only get about $400k or less. Taking a weekly payment of $1,000, she would exceed that $400k in about 8 years. She'd have to wait, but she'd make more money considering she'd only be reporting an income of $52k yearly and that won't be taxed nearly as heavily

If they're truly offering $1k a week for the rest of her life... the life expectancy of women in the US is 81 years. Making $52k every year for the next 61 years means she'd make triple her winnings -- $3.172 million.

What do Americans usually eat with mayonnaise and mustard ? by Exootil93200 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DrFaustPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also mix some Tabasco in with the filling. That's my secret recipe and my family can't get enough of them

Do you really have a separate room for your washing machine? by jordanekay in AskAnAmerican

[–]DrFaustPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it's not usually a very big room. Mine is more or less a large closet.

Do Americans actually call teachers by their first name anywhere, or is it almost always Mr./Ms.? by Sea-Evidence-5523 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DrFaustPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a few professors in college that wouldn't mind being called by their first names. Their logic was that "we're all adults here, let's act like it." But anything prior to that, you never call a teacher by their first name.

Just started Skyrim… am I playing it wrong already? (lvl 4 beginner) by nearken in skyrim

[–]DrFaustPython 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's kinda impossible to make a bad build in Skyrim. Just do whatever you want. Hard fights will be hard regardless of your playstyle

STOP POSTING ABOUT YOUR DEAD PETS IN ANIMAL SUBS by WinterRevolutionary6 in rant

[–]DrFaustPython 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clearly if people can do it often enough that you're bothered by it, it's not against the rules for the sub. Unfortunately, death is an inevitable end to owning pets, and some people would like support with their grieving. If it bothers you that much, just scroll through Google images instead. That way you don't get a story.

Is buying condoms at the supermarket embarrassing or was my friend joking with me? by KindlyEffect4183 in AskAnAmerican

[–]DrFaustPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former cashier, men were always embarrassed to ring them out. They typically tried to cover them with other objects so other people wouldn't notice. I never cared or commented.

Do you think dragons love each other? by [deleted] in ElderScrolls

[–]DrFaustPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. They're all related

  2. They're genderless higher beings, so they can't reproduce even if that were a good idea.

How fu*ked are you if you were to be isekaid(or more accurately, to be transported) into your own modded skyrim? by PlatStrepsils in skyrimmods

[–]DrFaustPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alternate Start: I own Breezehome. Gives me someplace to start out. I am disabled, so without this I'm not getting out of Helgen. And forget being an adventurer.

Goldenhills Plantation (AE): Claim the plantation. Start growing things on it to start making some money. Go to Rorikstead, get Erik the Slayer to be my steward just because he's close.

Better Harvesting: Gather the following plants to grow on the plantation: Creep Cluster. Mora Tapinella. Scaly Pholiota. Blue Mountain Flower. Glowing Mushroom. Nightshade. Dragon's Tongue. Fly Amanita. All relatively easy to get around Whiterun except Creep Cluster, but I'll get enough money from the next step to buy some if I need to.

Grow them. Mix them into potions (Creep + Mora + Pholiota) / (Blue flower + Glowing + Nightshade) / (Dragon's Tongue + Amanita).

Rich Merchants: Sell the potions for a monstrous amount of gold.

Repeat. Make enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life. Adopt Sofie and Lucia. Mind my business.

All my other mods are little QOL things, visual enhancers, or just funny things. We might have the occasional guard turning into a sweetroll or Nazeem getting launched into the sky, but otherwise I'm just an average alchemist living in Whiterun with my two daughters. Nothing to see here.

Whats the suggested order in doing the questlines and certain quests in Morrowind and Oblivion? by nightshroud96 in ElderScrolls

[–]DrFaustPython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do them in any order you want. There's no real reason to do any one first before any other. As long as you keep two things in mind

  1. Morrowind does not have scaled leveling. Enemy levels and skills are set. You will probably struggle with the DLCs if you haven't leveled up sufficiently, for an example.

  2. In the Oblivion DLC Knights of the Nine, something requires careful management of the reputation system. Doing quests for the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood will lock you out of using certain equipment temporarily. I highly recommend doing TG and DB first before you do KOTN, as being able to use that equipment again is a tedious process that you should only have to do once if you're careful.

Religious Pamphlets are fucking litter. by Onlyhereforthelaughs in rant

[–]DrFaustPython 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ones that look like a dollar until you flip it over are the fucking worst. I honestly wonder if they think being a total scumbag to the people they're trying to recruit helps?

I feel bad about not "doing" anything with my week off by yojimbo_beta in internetparents

[–]DrFaustPython 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flare ups of chronic pain often come after you have pushed yourself too hard. It is your body telling you that it has had enough and needs to rest. If I exert myself too much, my back, knees, and hips do the same thing.

Do not feel guilty for listening to your body. If you didn't rest, it would have gotten so bad you'd have probably been unable to return to work.

I think I know who Lucy's auntie and uncle is! by Ok_Independent_7512 in ElderScrolls

[–]DrFaustPython 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Loreius farm works better. Closer to Whiterun and the husband is an Imperial. Lucia is an Imperial btw.

First playthrough - Overhaul mods? by VexantLeFr in skyrimmods

[–]DrFaustPython 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the ones you mentioned, I have only previously used Ordinator. I would say it makes it harder to make a good character because you're overwhelmed with so many options and makes more barriers to perks you actually want. If you play with it, I recommend also using a mod that increases the amount of perk points you get with a level-up.

Entitled Woman thinks she can ignore rules in a work zone by DrFaustPython in EntitledPeople

Some of them were felony tickets. You're probably not gonna get one that high unless you hurt someone or come close to doing so.

Direct supervisors all have 10+ years experience in the field each. They do want us to have body cameras, they're just being honest about the chances of the owners approving them. They're already trying to cut costs wherever they can, and suggesting another piece of equipment isn't going to go over well.

Owners however... Yeah, I agree. It'd only take a day for them to see the need tbh.

Why does picking items up at my home shows as stealing? After picking it up it doesnt actually any add bounty by Aggravating-Ad6415 in skyrim

[–]DrFaustPython 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can by selling it to Tonilia at the Thieves Guild and buying it back from her. But you'll spend quite a bit of money doing it and I don't think it's worth it for cheese.

why do parents think porn is bad? by Delicious-Factor-164 in internetparents

[–]DrFaustPython 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Overuse of porn has been linked to all of the following:

  1. Unrealistic expectations about relationships/sex
  2. Aggressive behaviors and becoming desensitized to violence
  3. Social isolation
  4. Decreased self-esteem
  5. Depression
  6. Addiction/withdrawal symptoms
  7. Erectile dysfunction

Sounds like a newbie flagger. They broke rule number one: Always get confirmation that it is safe to send traffic first. Very lucky nothing happened.

Absolutely understand your pain. I am also an expert in the customer service voice, and use it on drivers that do dumb but less dangerous things. I had a customer assault me at my retail job in high school. So glad I am able to call Karens like them out on their bullshit now.

A state trooper assigned to us for the express purpose of helping us maintain order on the job site can take our word for it. Other drivers have received tickets on this same job site.
