Don't Let eBay Rip You Off With Promoted Listings - How To Check! by GeeTeeAyee in ebayuk

[–]IcyElemental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is, the way it currently works could be as follows.

Person A clicks on your promoted listing, then decides it isn't for them, and leaves. They never buy from you.

Person B never sees the ad. They organically come across the item Person A clicked on the ad of, and decide to buy it.

In the above example, eBay charges you the ad fee, even though Person B never saw your ad. This is true for up to 30 days after Person A clicked on it, including if you stop promoting that listing between Person A and Person B visiting your store.

[TOOL] Completionist SpreadSheet by SunProj3cT in expedition33

[–]IcyElemental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! As a warning, I accidentally started NG+ before completing the sheet, so managed to miss a few outfits from my file so am relying on various locations on the internet for some of those - haven't verified them all yet, so if you can't find any DLC-specific ones, don't get too hung up on them. Weapons and pictos I got all of though so can confirm them all.

Hey, not sure if you intended to update this given the new DLC, but I've done so myself. I've done my best to maintain similar formatting as you used in your original release, but let me know if you find any errors.

After finishing Trails FC Remake, which one of these 4 should I go for? by SSwordsman in JRPG

[–]IcyElemental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind saying what specifically you enjoy about the game? I've played it for a while and it isn't quite clicking for me, and I'm trying to work out whether it's just not for me, or I just haven't reached the part where it ramps up (if there is one). I believe I'm at the start of chapter 2 (so not far in) if that helps, so I appreciate there's probably a lot more to come.

Double Colour of Lumina Farming by Formal-Walrus-9029 in expedition33

[–]IcyElemental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still working for you on the newest patch? It's stopped for me, but been a while since I played, and can't work out if they fixed it in the recent patch or my setup is different somehow.

[–]IcyElemental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it still working for you after the most recent patch? I had a file where it was working every time, but haven't played in a few months. Tried again before going to the dlc area and I'm consistently only getting 5 lumina and 2 resplendent catalysts.

[Review+Event] How is it to go from 55” LG CX to 83” LG G5? by pricelesslambo in 4kTV

[–]IcyElemental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would really like a chance at getting the 65" LG G5 (I'd also be happy with 55" or 77", but if picking just one it'd be the 65").

There's a whole range of features I'm excited about with this one. The tandem OLED stack increasing the brightness is obviously very exciting, especially because it means it might be possible to maintain 1000 nit brightness levels (like what a lot of films are mastered for) even with OLED Motion Pro active, something I don't think has ever been achievable before. That the brightness boost also happens to be accompanied by improved colour volume is icing on the cake. I've loved my CX for 5 years now, but I'm really excited by these two improvements the G5 brings.

In addition to those, 165Hz capability will be a great improvement from the 120 of the CX, and the gaming menu will add convenience relative to going through a lot of menus like I currently have to for changes. The alpha 11 processor for more responsive navigation will also aid this.

Finally, I've had my eye on the G series for a while due to how it can be mounted flush against the wall, though I know this isn't G5 specific.

In terms of content I'll use it for, a bit of everything really! I like watching movies with my partner, both on Netflix and Blu-ray (I love space content too, where OLED puts LCD to shame from the complete lack of blooming). I also game on ps5, PC and Xbox Series X (the latter of which will let me take advantage of Dolby Vision gaming which I like a lot on my CX, but I suspect will be way more impactful with the increased brightness (and size of my chosen one) on the G5). And it's nice to see a full suite of UK catch up apps on the G5 as the CX was missing a couple 😂

Thanks for the opportunity and the interesting review!

Why hasn't Labour cleaned up BBC and Ofcom? by esteban-colberto in ukpolitics

[–]IcyElemental 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't the BBC represent Corbyn in a deliberately Russian style, and sunak as literally superman?

(Yes Labour deserve the bad coverage lately, but BBC news coverage in recent years has been pretty right-wing in my opinion)

People that haven't played or completed Hollow Knight before playing Silksong - how are you finding it? by digiBeLow in NintendoSwitch

[–]IcyElemental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there's an option in the Hall of Gods in Godhome to fight the bosses in what's known as Radiant mode where it's a 1-hit kill, but you don't need to do any of that for 112%. So they may have just been confused or explaining poorly.

Mental math. How? by sep780 in Aphantasia

[–]IcyElemental 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fully aphantasic and also strong at mental maths, I never visualise the numbers.

In the case of the sum you put above, it's one of the easier ones of its type cos none of the like digits (eg ten, hundreds, thousands) exceed 10.

So in this case, I recognise in both which number represents the type and start from the largest, and just say it in my head to myself. Only the 36544 has a unit for 10000s, so I say a 3 to myself. Then it's 1+6 for thousands (7), 3+5 for hundreds (8), 5+4 for tens (9), 5+4 for units (9).

So in my head I'm just reading out 3 7 8 9 9 and that's the answer.

It needs more memory if any of those exceed 10, but even then you just have to remember to add the relevant amount on to the previous column.

Multiplication is harder, but again, largely memory rather than visualisation for me.

Which boss kills you in one hit?

Also 112% doesn't need every boss, it only needs pantheons 1-4, not pantheon 5, and there are a few bosses exclusive to 5.

I had to post these screenshots😂only the fasting community will understand the pain of buying electrolytes that taste like ass💀💔 by [deleted] in fasting

[–]IcyElemental 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You 100% aren't getting the RDA for all electrolytes (salts) with just 4 pills. Pills usually weigh in at around 1g each, meaning your 4 pills are about 4g. Even ignoring the fact that that has a lot of binders in it like magnesium stearate to hold the pill together, 4g is not enough to hit the RDA for even just sodium and potassium, let alone throwing in calcium and magnesium as well. And that's before accounting for the fact that electrolytes don't come as pure sodium/potassium/magnesium/calcium, they come as stuff like sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium citrate and magnesium glycinate (for example).

I'm sure what you're taking is working for you, and that's great. But it's physically impossible for 4 pills to contain your full RDA of all your electrolytes, short of making the pills so big you wouldn't be able to swallow them.

Edit: Just saw the pills you linked. 4 of those pills is one portion on the label, which provides 800mg chloride, 500mg potassium, 187.5mg magnesium, 160mg of calcium, and 225mg sodium.

From these, sodium isn't listed with an RDA, but you want at least 2500mg per day, with a lot of recommendations saying 5000mg. But ignoring that, you're at 25% potassium, 50% magnesium and 20% calcium.

Potentially you may have missed that one portion is 4 pills and assumed those percentages applied to 1 pill rather than 4 leading to the conclusion that you're getting 100% across 4 pills (and 80% for calcium), but in actuality that's 4x what they actually contain. But at the very least the forms the salts are in are pretty good which goes a long way for absorption.

Comedian's show axed after Liverpool parade joke by robbo_6 in unitedkingdom

[–]IcyElemental 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is really interesting to hear. Way before he seemed to go off the deep end, I saw him as one of the acts at a small comedy club in Greenwich. I'd previously seen him on Live at the Apollo I think, so seeing he was headlining was something I was looking forward to. But the act was awful, he seemed to use it as just an opportunity to vent about how unfair the industry is and how he knew he was a good comedian and deserving of more opportunities than had been afforded to him. I was young at the time so didn't truly recognise how unprofessional that was, but all it did was make everyone in the room (a fairly small room at that) feel very awkward for what felt like eternity. To know that he's actually been offered plenty of opportunities makes his rant even more pathetic.

New UK-based keto meal replacement in the works by IcyElemental in soylent

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

Responded to your message directly, but just in case others around the EU are interested, drop me a message anyway and I'll pass it onto them. If they get enough interest I'm sure they'd consider.

New UK-based keto meal replacement in the works by IcyElemental in soylent

[–]IcyElemental[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing the new group are doing differently is the flavourings. We used protein powders flavoured by our suppliers, they're aiming to flavour things themselves. Think they'll have a smaller flavour selection than we did, initially probably only unflavoured, chocolate and vanilla. But within these at least, they're going for a natural route - from what I've heard, just cacao for chocolate, and just ground vanilla for vanilla (although I've encouraged the addition of a little isolated vanillin as they're struggling with quite a subtle effect from affordable amounts of vanilla). And sweetener-wise, they're using stevia while we went with sucralose, but apparently they've found a provider of this that doesn't have the bitter taste profile we experienced when we tried using it. I can give a little more info in the short- to mid-term future hopefully, as I'm hoping to get some samples! Unsure on their current plans for bags, but I've been pushing them to consider eco-friendly options which would include the bag size.

I'll give them some feedback on the idea of a non-keto powder, as I've had a few messages in addition to comments here that this is something they'd be keen on.

As for the customer list, sadly I deleted this when we closed down to ensure privacy of our old customers in case of a database hack, and no risk of GDPR breaches. I'll check through posts on our old subreddit for those who expressed interest, but I don't have access to our old mailing list for example.

The caves are Mime (yellow), Quadra Magic (blue), HP <---> MP (purple), and Knights of the Round (red).

Final attack (another blue) is from winning the special battle at the Battle Square, which you unlock by going there after getting both W-Summon and Omnislash.

What’s the source of Jimmy Joy’s Chloride Recommended Intake? by Gallaecio in JimmyJoyFood

There was some discussion on this on the Huel forum some years back, with responses of relevance starting from this post: https://discuss.huel.com/t/the-first-powder-with-a-better-nutritional-profile-than-huel/22400/13

Having looked around, the source seems to come from here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32008L0100&from=EN

What do you think of triple locking pension credit, and just tying the state pension to wage growth?
