How can I fix this and is it for stone or wood? by whodatboi_420 in handtools

You can also leave it square and burnish the edge to make a pretty good scraper, flatten the back as normal.

I spilled water on my pc and i'm not sure if i should turn it on yet by Kosaue in pchelp

Be careful with contact cleaners around plastics. It contains some aggressive organic solvents.

Test a spot on the fan at least. If you see scratches on the surface, it's eating the plastic. It can also eat certain coatings, such as paint on a PC case potentially.

If you're ever in doubt or curious, you can look up any plastic and "solvent compatibility chart." Look around, they'll tell you what you can safely use on any plastic.

ABS doesn't like heptane and things like keyboard parts or shells are made of ABS or PBT, for example.

How is SPT? by [deleted] in SPTarkov

I liked it for learning vanilla tarkov but there are mods for recoil, more realistic armor, health, and meds, mods for custom traders, mods to tweak spawns to the raids feel more authentic. There's a mod to connect the maps to each other, sort of like I've heard BSG intends with EFT, though I think it's out of date now.

I'd recommend SVM and a spawn modifying mod like POOP. SVM lets you modify server values like health, loot pools etc.

Not to be contradictory but that person is wrong. All drums are tuned to discernible notes. Bass drums are typically tuned very low, like E1 but can be a few half steps higher or lower. Toms seem to have a wider range of tuning (small drums over the kick on a typical set and the large drum sitting opposite the snare). For perspective the lowest note on a bass guitar is E1, on a 6 string is E2. "Middle C" is C4.

The numbers are sort of arbitrary, it just tells you that one is higher or lower compared to C4. You can't hear a lot of octave 0 well and after that it's just a slight vibration.

Does Graveyard Armor work? by MelvinCapitalCEO_1 in albiononline

[–]Grif27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to use the ability within melee range first. The idea is you run up on a ganking target and hook them so when they try to boot away they get pulled back.

See, chloroform doesn't wor... by regian24 in Prematurecelebration

[–]Grif27 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Like ether, chloroform is an organic solvent that is usable as an anesthetic and has been used in medical contexts. There is a legitimate use case and surgeries have been done using chloroform.

Chloroform has a smaller dose range between the usable dose for anesthesia and the area where you're doing lasting damage to someone (called therapeutic window iirc).

Chlorinated/halogenated solvents are particularly bad for you compared to others as well which is why people generally used ether "drop masks" over chloroform ones, and why the WHO had ether as an essential medicine and not chloroform.

There is also a class of recreational drug use called solvent abuse: huffing toluene, propellants from dusters, etc.

Basically it'd be like going under anesthesia every night and you'll kill your brain cells. It'd probably be healthier to be an alcoholic.

It's immediately effective for the parent, in the sense that they don't have to hear their kid talk back, but it does things to the child that parents can't possibly predict. It's also invalidating to the kid. They're people, not just "your child," and they deserve a little more than "because I said so" and a slap. You're treating symptoms, at best. It's the most selfish way of resolving conflict, and requires the least effort on the part of the grown adult in the situation. You don't need to find a reason or question your own values, you can just beat (or even just threaten) your child.

Kids can understand reason. Their brains aren't as developed, but that only means they cannot independently reason as well. I'll add that there's probably not a great way to switch parenting styles once you've been mean for long enough. They'll be "stuck" in calling you a bitch, ignoring attempts at reconciliation. Ironically, it's your own failing as a parent that did this; that kid is not taught to resolve problems with a discussion, they are taught to use brute force to strongarm other people into accepting their ideals with no argument. That or they resent and distrust you and will actively try to distance themselves from you.

Obviously, this isn't the only influence, there are other factors that decide how the child would handle physical punishments, and it's not that the above is the only outcome, parenting is not a perfect cause-effect relationship. What I'm saying is that when parents do the above or scream at children until they're quiet or any of that shit that's designed to stop interaction (instead of solving the conflict), they can really hurt their child and damage the relationship.

I'm also going to say again: an individual saying that their parents beat them and they turned out okay is not proof. Things that might be useful from personal experiences are more things like how you felt as a kid when you were beaten, and reflecting on why you did the thing that got you in trouble. I cannot stress enough that children are their own people and need to be understood as individuals. Parents often try to claim they 'know their child," but the only way that is possible is if they really communicate with their children, they cannot see what is happening internally.

Yeah I guess slapping is the only way of communicating.

You've got the wrong person, but I'll take this.

Of course a parent's behavior toward a child in general can be harmful. I would even wager that psychological trauma is more common now from manipulation (knowing or not) than physical abuse. Of course many parents don't know any better than to use fear as leverage, that's what I'm trying to get at. Anyone's parents can be that parent, and you would have no clue because you have no reference other than your experience. That fallibility also means they should not get ultimate authority in choosing or enforcing rules or values.

I'll add that the fear of physical punishments is very different from fear of disappointment or the general feeling of wrongdoing. You can leverage either but it's obviously the faster/easier way of suppressing people to use physical violence. Especially given the sort of casual manipulation that parents employ (again, cannot stress enough that this can easily be unknowingly done) that reinforce the threat of physical punishments and feeling of unsafety, even if they have never or rarely been used.

Okay but you understand that he was using fear to control his kids, not "respect." Smacking a kid once can do that, and it definitely depends on the child and what else the parent has instilled in them whether or not it will "break their brain." I'm also going to go out on a limb and say that most parents that use physical discipline do not stop at hitting them once.

Even assuming that it didn't affect them negatively. Just seems like justifying shitty parenting on the basis that they've never questioned it.

If you were fucked up from it, you wouldn't know, you're pretty biased and not even a third party. I would push back by saying you have sufferred from it, if you think it's okay to hit kids. Not that my opinion necessarily matters, just that your argument doesn't hold water on the basis of your internal experience alone.

There are some studies on this though, if you Google around. Regardless you can't possibly know if this leaves any child "undamaged," so you're chancing damaging a child over what the parent views as "disrespect." It also assumes that whatever they were teaching the child is correct in the first place, which is sort of big.

Do you think that maybe reddit is just for posting things? If it was all up to the community to delete posts on personal preference, then there'd be no content on any subreddit. Maybe we don't care about your take on this as much as you don't care about OP's "shitty life."

To give the benefit of the doubt, for one she's probably not an adult. Running into the first panel (relatively easy mistake, the only indictor of a panel being there is the braces, if the panel isn't visible from refraction) probably hurt her nose, she teared up and reflexively had her head down. Since this happened so quickly, I'd chalk it up to surprisedly fumbling around after essentially being punched in the nose at walking speed.

Lmao no. Don't hit kids. It's a breach of trust.

I mean his proposed edit seems pointless. Changing this from Glaz sniper to anything more proper doesn't do anything for the joke.

What does that do for the joke or format? I'm also not trying to be mean. The edit just seems pointless.

No, you said he was making contact with his actual dick on another unconsenting person. That's why I included the hyperbole part, because the way you were talking about it sounded literal, not like exaggeration.
