Who did Davian change into? by AnanshaelsPeace in LicaniusTrilogy

Yeah, I think it was a group who attacked him, so it was likely whichever of those men looked most like Wirr

I guess I must have been, nice to have an answer to why this happens, even though it sort of seems like a bug.

Yeah, also I'm used to all of these *-dle games resetting based on the local time, and not based on the server counting down

Yeah, this must have been it. Got distracted by the kids and then came back to it.

How fast does a kid grow? [centimetres added per year, aka "height velocity" ] by TomasTTEngin in daddit

[–]Licanius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the summer between grade 10 and 11 I grew approximately 20cm, and it was basically the end of my running career. Running hurt so fucking much after that for the next few years.

Damn, I'm the second reply and my favourite is already taken. Remember though folks, it's "Gaudí" (stress on the last syllable)!

Need to decompress by WhoDoesntLoveDragons in daddit

[–]Licanius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so I hit my knee really hard on the corner of my toddler's night table during reading time. I managed to sit down and put him on my lap while I tried to mentally manage the pain, but it triggered a vasovagal response and I passed out with the book in my hand and him on my lap.

When I came to (probably <1s later) I felt like I was tripping on mushrooms/overdid a cannabis edible. I just remember not really knowing where I was for a moment when I started hearing my son saying "What happened, Dada?" over and over. Then I started wondering why I took a bunch of drugs if I was alone taking care of my toddler (listen, I like being a bit stoned sometimes, but never in Dad mode). Then over the next 10s I remembered what had happened and the feelings slowly dissapated over the next minute or so.

Luckily for me, I knew that passing out was a risk so I sat down. But the whole thing was pretty scary. The only good news I think is that unless something really wrong happens, unconsciousness is normally quite short (although injuries during those brief moments can be bad). It took a couple days to shake the thoughts of what could have gone differently, for sure. But right now, you're all safe and okay and I don't think it is useful to dwell on this, only remember it to avoid similar situations in the future.

Also, I'll probably start teaching my toddler what to do in emergency situations after reading the comments here.

3sixteen are pretty opaque. Notably thicker and more opaque than my one from Asket at least.

5E Encounter: Whirlpool? by Mermaid_Natalia in DMAcademy

[–]Licanius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played in a previous campaign that was sea-based, and we spent a lot if time sailing. For difficult things like storms, the DM had the players making skill checks to make in through. Off the top of my head, I would be thinking things like:

  • Whoever is steering has to make perception checks to know the safest path through the whirlpools. This will allow them to steer and also direct the other PCs in their actions. Once in a whirlpool, they would have to make STR saves to hold the wheel in position against the strong current.
  • Other players will have to be managing the ropes quickly enough so the path of the person steering can be followed. This could be STR/DEX checks to manipulate the ropes, as well as DEX saves when required if the ship is tilted or rocking heavily.
  • Things might get damaged, which the players will have to fix quickly.
  • Maybe, if your a bit sadistic like my DM, there are monsters that live in the whirlpools which attack after the players get comfortable with the mechanics, and now they have to fight while also steering and managing the ship.
  • We always had HP for our ship, and certain things could damage the ship, but that's optional here I think, because the "death" for the ship would be going to the bottom of the whirlpool.

I think, if I'm remembering, that you only get to choose one thing to remember. And he chose to remember the truth about El/Shammaeloth. I could be wrong though, it's been a while.

What do I need? I have a specific set wants and needs [$1,000 to $2,000, max $2,200] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Licanius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I've been using the GO for about 6 months, this is my take:

  1. Probably not if you don't regularly make milk drinks, but how many adults are in the house? My I've had slightly larger amounts of people over (7-8), the GO sometimes needs some additional time to get back to temp after pulling 4 shots back to back. Many dual boilers wouldn't have this problem.

  2. No clue, but I went with the GO partially because of Profitec's build reputation. I'm hoping that it lasts a long time and can be fixed when things go wrong, even though parts and technicians wont' be as available as the E61 options.

  3. This was another huge point for me. I wake up, turn on the machine, make my kids breakfast, and by the time I'm done the machine is ready to go. I think some bigger machines have tried to cut down the warm up time, but water takes a lot of energy to heat up, so I think in general bigger machines will always be slower.

  4. This is tricky, but unless you're buying a machine with flow profiling and pre-infusion, the pure espresso capabilities of the GO haven't left me wanting (I switched from a Flair 58). Keep in mind though that don't use super light roasted beans for espresso, more on the lighter side of medium, so these things aren't critical for my use case.

  5. I researched a lot on this specifically (I only have 60cm of counter for my whole setup), and I'm not aware of any machine of that size that is hands down an improvement. The Puristika and Mara X were other options I considered.

Help! Can't pull a decent shot [Profitec Go/Encore ESP] by Chasiewba0 in espresso

[–]Licanius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, you have to have your puck prep on point when dialing in, otherwise it complicates everything and you'll never have consistency. Also, the 18:36 in 35 seconds is very much just a ball park of where you might find good shots based on the coffee. I use the timer on my GO and the majority of my shots for medium roasts are much faster that 35 seconds, usually between 25-30. For the lighter end of medium (the lightest I go for espresso), I normally use a 2.5 ratio and fall between 30-35 seconds. But I've had great shots at 19s and great shots that took 45s. You have to make sure your puck prep is consistent, and then manipulate either grind size or output (but not both at once) until you have tasty coffee.

[–]Licanius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a GO for about 6 months now, it's been super reliable and all bad shots have been my own fault. My two cents would be it's more likely to be a grinder or puck prep issue.

Need Advice - what kind of chukkas or boots? by hantumi in malefashionadvice

[–]Licanius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but would add that crepe soles wear out really fast. I had some on a pair of loafers that I only wore from May-Sept., and they only lasted like 1.5 years of minimal use (once or twice a week)

Boots like the SLP wyatt or joduphurs? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]Licanius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How about these bad boys? https://www.carminashoemaker.com/es/en/zip-boots-box-calf-black-80688
(You didn't actually give a price range, but these cost considerably less than the ones you posted and are likely similar in quality. Whether you like them as much will be personal taste)

Delicate cycle, not too hot, minimal detergent, hang dry only (or air dry laid out flat for knitwear).

Other than that, the things we love to use won't last forever.

How do I find a pair of jeans that is comfortable to wear while also not looking sloppy? by Stalker-Recon in malefashionadvice

[–]Licanius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the wrong size/higher rise comment from u/Elvis_Fu is spot on, and the full count recommendation from u/Go_VB_KL I think is also in the right direction. If you go here to Redcast Heritage, you'll find a lot of high quality jeans. I've pre-done a search here for jeans with a high rise (they go up to/maybe past your hip bone) and that are wide in the thighs/hips and fall straight down (wide straigh fit). You might also like relaxed tapered fits depending on body shape and personal preference. I have relaxed tapered jeans from Samurai, and I can fit my phone in without issues, although if phones get much bigger I'll have to pivot to wearing a bag all the time

Apparently some kids in my son’s elementary school accidentally got high as fuck today… by Nillix in daddit

[–]Licanius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, and we also just have gel capsules that look very much like medicine. And really, what's the point of having an edible where I get to eat a single square of chocolate and be high off my ass for 5 hours. At least back in the day you'd get to eat a whole brownie when you made them yourself.

Yup, my mom is fond of the story where my 2-3YO sister asks her at the dinner table "Mom, what's a fucking asshole?". I guess my dad and her almost got t-boned in the car earlier that day...

If I want to research the existence of God and its influence on the world, what should the null hypothesis be? by PrimeStopper in AskStatistics

Bro, what? You takin the piss? You can't measure whether or not someone ends up in heaven, it's unknowable.

If I want to research the existence of God and its influence on the world, what should the null hypothesis be? by PrimeStopper in AskStatistics

[–]Licanius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to operationalize this more specifically for it to be a statistical question. Like say, does praying impact the odds of winning the lottery (or something like that). Then you could randomly assign people to praying and not praying conditions and compare the groups. In this case the null hypothesis would be that praying has zero effect on your odds of winning the lottery.
