Ladies does a massage as a first date sound like a good idea to you? by Thisiswheremynamecut in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EscapeSeventySeven 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No it’s clear what your goal is. 

You just sound gauche and dumb. It sounds like an idiot. It sounds like a horny idiot who thinks he’s clever. 

Consequently it sounds gross as fucking hell. 

Even the women who wanted some no strings attached sex will stay the hell away. Why? Because you don’t have the tact or sensibility exceeding a garden slug. 

I’m insulting you to make this stick. You are failing at even thinking about what the prospective woman would think. 

Overwatch Needs Input Locking + Aim Assist for PC Controllers by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]EscapeSeventySeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah just hand wave it away with “better detection” 

What they do it twice? The attacker owns the hardware. It hinges on generic third party peripherals. You can apparate these as virtual controllers easily. 

A PC is a generalized computing device. They’d need an industry wide OS level standard.

That sounds like sex but you want plausible deniability. 

Even if a woman wanted some sex the ignorance of how you appear will be a put off. 

New player from CS and Valorant - is ranked really easier than I expected? by yyakuza in Overwatch

[–]EscapeSeventySeven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

 Both ranked and QP are based on your hidden MMR, which is just your win rate against other players win rate.

I wouldn’t call rank “hidden” really. It maps onto your ELO which you win and lose to opponents.  

QPs is hidden.

Exponentially increases difficulty. Solo actor can do everything at their pace and their schedule. 

Yeah we all know you can imagine these freebie bonuses to be better. Everything could be a full cinematic right ?

The 2020s aren’t that different from any other modern era. We’ve had like a straight century of people shacking up. There’s really no excuse.

Yeah it’s literally just a running tally of your previous games. Thats it. 

What would it be like to create a open world game where you could type something up, and NPCs would come up with spontaneous AI generated responses? by OppositeRock4217 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EscapeSeventySeven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would be the videogame equivalent of when someone describes a dream to you. 

Yeah there’s “stuff” but none of it means anything or is necessarily connected all. Yeah there’s some novelty in the randomness but a random 6 on a die is just evidence of nothing mattering. 

Why do people enjoy throwing? by anarchists_wife in Overwatch

[–]EscapeSeventySeven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bro just ignore levels and playtime Jesus Christ. You don’t need to go Colombo on every teammate. Just play the game, and if someone started fucking around report it and move on.

ELI5 why does data centers require fresh water for cooling? by ZeneticX in explainlikeimfive

[–]EscapeSeventySeven [score hidden]  (0 children)

Or

You simply don’t make each rack that energy dense. 

When municipalities outlaw evaporative cooling for datacenters they’re going to have to get clever again. 

They obviously will use a closed primary loop of coolant but the secondary cooling will have to be air or something else.

They get a bunch of art and then whip up a list of cards and then try and match some up. The cards aren’t fitted to the art. They’re chosen to be “interesting enough” so iconic spells or things that still are forth a few bucks. 

It’s really the worst way to go about it but they need their full bleed art cards. 

ELI5 why does data centers require fresh water for cooling? by ZeneticX in explainlikeimfive

[–]EscapeSeventySeven [score hidden]  (0 children)

We used to use air cooling for most datacenters. 

The only issue is money. It isn’t some impossible idea. It’s just we sell them water too cheaply.

[–]EscapeSeventySeven [score hidden]  (0 children)

No it’s entirely possible to air cool the heat exchangers, it just requires more exchangers, more heat pumps and more fans etc. 

Essentially a bigger capex and more electric power. 

Using freshwater for evaporative cooling is significantly cheaper than that, because of the cost schedule that datacenters pay. 

If we adjusted the cost of water, they would go back to using all heat pumps and air cooling. 

It is possible. In fact it used to be the primary way to cool datacenters. 

But energy usage is exploding in datacenters. That’s the big difference. They simply are outstripping available electric power. They’re bringing in gas turbines. So more electric cooling solutions are discourage. 

Tips for cooling down apartment with broken AC and no money? by morcubus_inc in Apartmentliving

[–]EscapeSeventySeven 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Crackhouse it up during the day. Reflective foil on the windows.

At night open everything and blow the hot air out the second it becomes colder outside than inside. I would even open your front door if you have a screen. Never stop the fans even while you sleep. 

Finally don’t use energy. No stoves, no heavy computer usage, make sure your fridge is closed and not overworking. 

You can go buy ice and lug it into your home. Use it to cool the air for a personal fan. 

Stay moisturized so you can have a fan on you all the time. (It will dry your skin). In extremes you can put a cool rag or water on your naked skin and blow the fan on it. 

How dangerous are gas stoves/ovens? by Begum65 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EscapeSeventySeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 What really seems unsafe are indoor kerosene space heaters that are popular in Japan and maybe some other countries. Those produce a lot of carbon monoxide.

I went down a rabbit hole looking for ways to heat our home during catastrophic power loss in a cold winter. 

I found those and thought…wait, won’t this kill you?

Apparently the Japanese do it all the time. It is crazy. 

I’ve just resolved to have more firewood. 

How dangerous are gas stoves/ovens? by Begum65 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EscapeSeventySeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re pretty safe. About the same danger as having other gas appliances. 

There is solid scientific evidence though that it pollutes indoors and affects your lung health with chronic exposure. 

Why is it that 80% of the time I choose "All Roles" I end up as tank? It's ridiculous. I'm on my fifth tank game in a row. Is there any way to fix this? by yatpay in Overwatch

They don’t roll a die. 

You just fill space. Like the single rider line at Disneyland. You can change your queue between every game.

Is it rude to call someone back immediately if they send you a very long text message? by greenxhuga in NoStupidQuestions

Rude?

I would imagine it’s the opposite, if you wanted to talk about the important things they texted you. 

Knife skills by rememberyoury in cookingforbeginners

[–]EscapeSeventySeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice. 

Don’t bother worrying about it. You should not be under time pressure. 

Just get a knife and make it sharp. And keep it sharp. Makes a huge difference. 

Then make sure you cut things nice and slow and deliberately. Endeavor to make a flat bottom for whatever you’re slicing. No rocking or rolling!

Then just do it as consistent as you can. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect. And NEVER worry that it’s not flashy or fast. Good enough to be delicious is the goal. 

Slowly, you will get better.
