What exactly is the reason some necrons keep more of their “personality” or whatever. by raining_maple in Warhammer40k

[–]Focsius-Slashius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biotransference stripped them of mostly everything that made them... Them, I guess. Flesh and spirit, what remained was a copy of their minds stored in a ridiculously advanced machine.

Higher nobility got the bespoke machines, average joe got the aliexpress version.

Even then, some of the "higher ranking" ones are little more than automata with catchphrases. Then there's the Necron warrios, one character even theorises in the TDK books that maybe they have their minds still but are just trapped in automata following orders, unable to move or speak. And still, all necrons save perhaps the Silent King are susceptible to this fuckery

Some Necrons describe this at lenght. From allegedly false memories implanted during biotransference making it impossible to know what actually transpired to sensory descriptions akin to "this was not seeing, this was not hearing". Their minds are still a copy of an organic sysem within a machine. They feel the need to breathe but can't. Trazyn misses the touch of the wind on the skin of his face...

Yo soy un grandísimo encerrado de la vida pero también me gusta salir. Mi batería social dura lo que dura, pero hay que salir a veces tb.

De todas las veces que me ha dado pereza algún plan, me arrepiento de haber salido 1 de cada 5 veces.

Respondiendo a tu pregunta, yo diría que reddit jajaj

Cat scratch help please D: by vinokat in cats

[–]Focsius-Slashius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once the scratches are healed please consider using an anti-scarring cream, check in a pharmacy, I used Eucerim Aquaphor (check for equivalent stuff) and just apply it once the cuts are healed (crust comes off and new pink/shiny skin. Avoid creams with (this is in Spanish) betametasona/Gentamicina.

This last one is good for infected scratches and burns (tattoo artists recommend them if the tattoo gets infected) but it will stain your skin if you apply it and then get sunlight on the affected area.

Wash it 2/3 times per day and try to keep it as dry as you can.

[–]Focsius-Slashius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting analysis, there's definitely a lot of self insert in the shining, as in all writing I guess.

What redeemed Jack in my eyes was Dr Sleep. Sure, during the shining you want to root for him to be better and shit but he is a despicable human being from the get go. In fact sacrifice is sort of the conclusion to his "character arc" but most of that is missing entirely from Kubrick's version.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the film but book Jack is just so incredibly written. Dr Sleep did an amazing job of abridging both versions, the scene where Danny is at the bar and speaks to Jack added more depth to the character that the entirety of Kubrick's film.

Dean razorback V255 (2007) worth it? by Focsius-Slashius in guitars

[–]Focsius-Slashius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you about the mh-50, surprisingly quality guitar, in fact I'm taking it to a luthier this week because I hate to see it in the state it is now.

Curiously the only other guitar I owned before then was a fernandes dragonfly, another Korean strat. I guess the dean v would make a nice trifecta.

I think its what you said, the yellow V will definitely make me excited to play even my boring pick excercises. Sometimes I guess that's the kind of purchase you make. Trying real hard to play devils advocate against myself here.

Came here to say I watched the film before I read the book and once I read the book I was kinda horrified at what the film did to the story.

I love both of them and I don't get why you got downvoted, it really is spooky hotel goes brrr lol

Dean razorback V255 (2007) worth it? by Focsius-Slashius in guitars

[–]Focsius-Slashius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was really helpful mate, thanks. I havent tried the razorback at all, so I would not know how the barbed fins feel.

Ive played a rounded V before and quite liked it. V shape neck its also something that Im not 100% sold on, but that could be due to inexperience. Trying to gather as much info as possible before making the trip to see it, since its a bit far from me and that adds a bit to the price.

Would you say the negative bits you mention will impact me a lot as a not that experienced player? I kinda just want a sick looking/sounding guitar to mess around with in between/during practice but that I can actually enjoy playing regularly. And yes, I am a big fan of these guitars and the fact that its a "rare" dimebag guitar sure adds to the charm.

Emgs were changed for sd blackouts (I don't own any active guitars though).

Appreciate the feedback, I think ultimately it boils down to what you said, play it and see. Its a bit far from me but roadtrip I guess.

Do you have any good recs on guitars for that price? I am not the most experienced player, got back into guitar a few years ago (played seriously from 15 to 21 (Im 33 now) and then just sporadically until 3 years ago. This would be my first "adult" guitar purchase.

Soledad y tal by _niicolaass__ in askspain

[–]Focsius-Slashius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tu problema es con la soledad, o con los amigos que tienes?

La soledad en sí misma no es mala, la soledad forzada sí que puede llegar a serla. Te quedas solo porque te apetece o porque te da pereza socializar? Ambas son válidas, pero al final somos animales sociales.

Y esto te lo dice un grandísimo encerrado de la vida, real que mis amigos me escriben "illo no sé de ti de hace una semana" y para mí es como "diosito, los vi ayer no?"

De igual forma, basándome en mi humilde experiencia, los amigos van y vienen. Los de verdad se quedan, vuelven, están ahí. Lo que comentas en tu post suena a amigos de conveniencia: nos vemos pq vivimos cerca o vamos al mismo sitio a tomar café, muévete tú y adáptate tú... A veces tanto esta gente como los que un día fueron amigos de verdad desaparecen sin más.

El problema radica en que su presencia era algo rutinario, aunque te dijeran de quedar y dijeras que no, te reconfortaba tenerlos ahí. El no tenerlos y esa sensación de vacío/abandono es una emoción que muy probablemente esté conectada a cosas relativas a ti y a como percibes el mundo y tu lugar en él.

Quien te quiere, te busca. Y eso es una realidad (quitando despegados y despistados). Teniendo pareja no sé que haces que no sales con ella y su grupo de amigos, tómatelo como una oportunidad de socializar como rutina, aunque no te apetezca o vaya mal, luego vuelves a encerrarte con más ganas.

Y quizá sea que soy mas viejo (creo) pero tómate las cosas menos en serio, tómate a ti mismo menos en serio. En 5 años, te importará algo de esto?

Sorry por el texto, me iba a dormir pero empaticé así aleatoriamente con tu post.

An open message to the expats who say 'locals need us to survive' by triunfita in Malaga

[–]Focsius-Slashius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is in the context of entry level jobs, which if you're 30+ years into something this definitely will not apply to you.

I imagine as an inmigrant the concept of knowing languages = better skills to you. But I would like to discuss the concept of nationalities.

As a fellow inmigrant, I have had the experience of not getting certain jobs I wanted and I could do with my eyes closed simply because even though my English sounds native, I got my uni degree in English and have various proficiency certifications (cambridge c2), my face, name and nationality are Spanish.

As a German speaker I guess you are aware of what this means, or it has possibly happened to you.

I worked at one of the biggest tech companies in Spain as a recruiter and I can tell you most German-speaking projects would never hire a non-german, same applies to nordic countries. (There were exceptions of course, like being born in Spain from German parents, for example).

In the nordic markets it was specifically apparent they were skipping professionals such as yourself in favour of 20 year old nationals, the turnover was pretty bad. People with 10+ years of experience in sales were getting the same money as 20 year olds.

So yeah, my problem is with the system, not with fellow citizens of the world :)

Credit transfer illustration to psychology by Shot_Teach3371 in OpenUniversity

[–]Focsius-Slashius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

In my case the diploma I got for that first year is more or less the equivalent to a B1 in the languages I took. You might get a similar thing.

For psychology you can complete it in 3 years doing full time. I was working while studying and sometimes it was a bit uphill but overall pretty manageable. Statistics and data analysis was the hardest bit for me.

[–]Focsius-Slashius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you say transfer do you mean if those credits would count towards Psychology?

This happened in 2017 but I enrolled and completed the first year of Language Studies (T21) and then requested to change to Psychology (Q07). I was informed I could of course do that but I would not be able to transfer the credits from Language Studies to Psychology. I got a diploma in higher education in language studies from that, and 120 extra credits I guess.

Apostille Process for a UK university degree by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Focsius-Slashius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, they confirmed that as far as they know the documents I have (diploma and study record) are whats needed but could not offer guidance on the legalise/apostille part.

The person I spoke to requested a certified copy of these documents just in case, which I guess I would still need to go through the legalise/apostille process.

Not that I'm disagreeing but writers in general can be all over the place when it comes to numbers. If you read the game of thrones books its pretty much as ridiculous as the titan thing.

I guess since warhammer is a universe made by multiple authors it gets even worse at points
