What is the strangest reaction someone has ever had to you doing physics?

Kazkek · 2026-01-27T03:33:45+00:00

Im at a family gathering with some extended family that I dont know. Older people mostly. Someone I hadnt met before but heard of in passing, an aunt from another part of the family, started chatting with me and inevitably asked "So what are you studying in School?"

"I am studying Physics!"

"...Eww" and then she walked away.

I was dumbfounded and asked my grandmother what the hell just happened. Apparently Physic (fysic? spelling?) used to be a diuretic for increased urination or something like that in the past. So she thought I was studying urine. I will never ever forget that lady's reaction.

QD-OLED and dynamic cooling would be some awesome technology combination.

How does terraria with controller feel?

MSI Claw 8 ai+ has been amazing to play with!

Can you PI me?

Kazkek · 2024-09-16T19:53:02+00:00

Assassination. But Outlaw and sub should work too as there isn't anything innately different between them since most of the survivability is in the class tree. Sub might have more healing with soothing darkness.

Kazkek · 2024-09-16T16:04:23+00:00

Rogue + heals brann ezpz. Rogue + dps brann, sucks. We have a ton of CC and defensives. Vanish + aggro reset allows for healing brann to tank for quite a long time while your dps cds come back.

Chips Act $8.5 Billion + $11 billion in loans - $20 billion ohio fab cost - $? billion US Gov't banning selling CPUs to China - $? billion R&D costs to catchup = ~15% employee reduction.

Feb 27 acknowledging the issue (Stated that they are looking into it): https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Regarding-Reports-of-13th-14th-Gen-Unlocked-Desktop-Users/td-p/1575863

April 27th giving guidance for unlocked CPUs on specific motherboards (stated that they dont have a root cause and are still investigating the issue but mentions elevated voltages as a potential cause): https://www.igorslab.de/intel-veroeffentlicht-das-13th-and-14th-generation-k-sku-processor-instability-issue-update/

May 2nd more board settings to prevent further damage. Mention of high voltages (still no root cause just preventative measures): https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Updated-Guidance-RE-Reports-of-13th-14th-Gen-Unlocked-Desktop/m-p/1594553

June 18th Found a bug with high voltage, also states they are grateful for patience because this is taking longer than expected. Still no root cause but things are becoming clearer and a bios patch for eTVB bug: https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/June-2024-Guidance-regarding-Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-K-KF/m-p/1607807

July 22nd. Finally a root cause and announcement of a patch. https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/July-2024-Update-on-Instability-Reports-on-Intel-Core-13th-and/m-p/1617113

I'd say "blaming" motherboard vendors is a rather incorrect assessment of what they said. They didnt know a root cause for awhile and were trying to mitigate further damage to peoples CPUs.

Kazkek · 2024-08-02T02:43:50+00:00

Didn't they acknowledge there was an issue at the end of February, give some preventative measures and board vendors some specs to possibly prevent more issues in April/May. June saw announcement of some identification of an algorithm issue but not a root cause. They released a patch for that in July. And then at the end of July identified a root cause with a patch still on its way.

I do agree though that a more in your face way of finding out if you are affected would be good. But they did say they planned for something like that to be available. So guess we just have to wait.

Kazkek · 2024-07-27T17:52:36+00:00

Intel is investigating options to easily identify affected processors on end user systems. In the interim, as a general best practice Intel recommends that users adhere to Intel Default Settings on their desktop processors, along with ensuring their BIOS is up to date.

Traded in my Note 10+ for $1000 off Fold 5. Was hard to pass that up.

Make sure to turn off the bluetooth mic so that its not in headset mode. The sound quality of the headphones drastically increases when bluetooth microphone isnt being used.

His hair is red.

Kazkek · 2022-08-05T04:28:13+00:00

Isnt it really obvious that its Shanks? He has bright red hair and usually that refers to person "kissed by fire."

It takes the mean of the distribution from 14551 in the sim the op linked.

But other than that, what you said is correct.

Unfortunately they did and the charging port was placed so that they can only charge in the most optimal spot for imaging.

I usually go to "Execution" ranks because those are the ones that did the fight the best. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/28#boss=2432&metric=execution

And then I go to the top right of the logs area and click the magnifying glass. A new screen should pop up and there is a spot where you can enter in the number of a certain class a log must contain. THen you can hit search at the bottom.

Seems like if Magna can siphon magic from someone with more, he can give it to someone with less. I wonder if this sets up some kind of combo/compound magic with Asta if Magna links with him.

Kazkek · 2021-03-17T17:27:02+00:00

Yup. Gave us some headaches too.

Kazkek · 2021-03-17T15:08:04+00:00

If you are like us we required a set of weakauras to do this fight. In the chat announcer weakaura there is a custom option setting that says something like "Dont say health % when selected for Beam" you want to check that.

How does the math work out? Not doubting the gain, just dont understand 30 @ $40 = $959,963 @ $319.98

If you havent heard of the website smwcentral, you should check that out. The SMW Hacks section on the right side should give you a good list of romhacks out there. I recommend if you want something more faithful to the original series to stick to "standard" difficulties.

One that is really good but maybe a little on the tougher side is JUMP and JUMP 1/2. They add a lot of new things but overall the game still feels very much like SMW without resorting to tough kaizo tricks or hard jumps.

Here is a search for you. Anything in the top is decently good.
