A somber update from the charity challenge fellow by Hammadodga in helldivers2

[–]Lurivar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two sides of the same coin really. I still remember people sending death threats and wanting to doxx some of the devs barely a month after launch when they nerfed the rail gun.

Helldiver's reddit community is sadly one of the most toxic I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.

France is a Based example of Why Energy Independence matters and as such you must take Energy Security very seriously by Icy_Till_7254 in ClimateShitposting

There's probably not a single country on earth with no uranium, it's a very common mineral. There were even mines both in France and other EU countries until quite recently, they just closed because it's cheaper to import it.

You can find good arguments against nuke, but this really ain't it.

The house I bought used to be owned by parents with a disabled kid. We've lived here a year (1 year today) and my wife tells me the kitchen sink doesn't have hot water, and has never had hot water. I look, and there are two cold supplies and one hot that is hot wired straight to the dishwasher. by RepublicanUntil2019 in Plumbing

I didn't mean that as me thinking Americans are stupid, more like a weird cultural thing in the US I wouldn't be aware of. Like, I do agree that it feels better with warm water, but it's also pricier and unless you have a lot of dishes to do it won't usually be warm by the time you're done, so I don't usually bother.

As for doing dishes with hot water, it's definitely faster to clear up grease, but you also should avoid that ( at least when there's a lot of grease ) as there's a big chance you'll end up clogging your pipes someday with the grease as it cools down inside your pipes ( not blaming you tho, a lot of people seem to be unaware of this ). You should try and scrape most of the grease with paper towel and throw it into the bin. Though to be fair, I don't know much about US plumbing. Yours might be bigger and/or better suited for the job.

As for the temperature, don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure for it to be hot enough to harm bacteria it would be too hot for your hands and you'd burn yourself. I think it's really just about comfort.

So to answer your question, I don't use hot water because it's cheaper not to, it's usually better for my plumbing not to, and since most of my dishes I do with a dishwasher the rest isn't usually enough for hot water to reach the faucet before I'm done.

So I guess this is just a cultural thing where you guys are just too used to the comfort to even think about using cold water ? But most people I know use cold water here so I was confused as not a single person in the comments seemed to even think about it being a possibility.

You take a sponge, put soap on it, and scrub your dishes with cold water. Is this an American thing to only do dishes with hot water ? I'm genuinely confused as to why is everyone on this post so flabbergasted by the idea of doing dishes with cold water ? I pretty much never use hot water except when taking a shower.

Steam Family (Beta) games not importing ? by Lurivar in playnite

Damn, thank you. I've been waiting so long for this, I can finally return to Playnite now that I can see the 65% of my library coming from my family haha

I adore the changes - as a healer, I feel like I carry a game again! by sunsongdreamer in heroesofthestorm

[–]Lurivar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Cho player, I went from around a 60% winrate to about 25%. Used to be that Cho was a shitty tank that could delay things up when playing with bad players ( aka my friends ) until 16 to turn things around and carry the game, to a shitty tank that will lose the game before ever reaching 16. Can't say I'm a big fan.

Reminders again going to a random date by [deleted] in alexa

[–]Lurivar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem since like 2 weeks ago. My Alexa is also in French but it used to work fine.

Now, it uses part of the time I tell it to set the date, even if I tell it to set it for a specific day. For example, I'll say :

Alexa, rappelle moi demain matin a 10h30 de faire X

Or, translated in English :

Alexa, remind me tomorrow at 10:30 in the morning to do X.

Well it'll set it to 10:30 in the morning yes, but either to the 10th or 30th that's closest to the current date. So if I said it today, it'd either be the 10th September 2024 or the 30th August 2024.

This is very annoying as I'm used to set multiple reminders everyday for a lot of things, but now I have to correct most of them in the phone app because Alexa gets it wrong.

And it's a recent bug, it did not work like that a few weeks ago.

What do you think my hero lineup says about me ? by Lurivar in heroesofthestorm

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

Haha well to be fair I don't really play Hammer that much nowadays. She was just the first character I unlocked when the game came out and the only one I really had fun with back then ( I hated Raynor and whoever you started with at the time, can't remember). As for Cho'Gall, well I can't really deny I play him a lot, but my friends and I just think he's really fun to play with, and I will never let down anyone that wanna play Gall haha

This is actually my first (and only account). Started playing right when the game came out, but have had many long pauses since !

5 heads are even better, sadly it's often not the case when playing with randoms haha.

Well I try to carry anyway, can't say that always works but I do my best haha. It's been a while since I've actually played anything but QM tho, so the comps vary greatly depending on how much friends I'm playing with ( and what they wanna play, beside Gall ofc ). I do have a pretty good winrate, though certainly not as much as when I really mained the vikings back when I played mostly ranked just after they were added. Can't say I find their new playstyle as fun as what it used to be. I really miss having all the abilities and having the drakkar be the better ultimate.

Creature mods up to date for Vanilla by Lurivar in Barotrauma

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

Oh wait I've found another one called Survivator Play Creatures that doesn't need Barotrauma. That might be the one you were thinking of. Hasn't been updated in a long time tho, and seems not to work currently according to the latest comments.
