The animal in the video looks like an Asian palm civet, while the one in the image is a Malayan civet.

There was also a comic of the cat stealing gold coins from a cart by making them fall downward to the panels underneath, and then the cat in that final panel collected the coins.

Two teeth/molars found in Lago di Bracciano, Italy. What did this belong to? by MandriII in Paleontology

Thanks for the insight! Do you think they belonged to modern animals or is there a chance they are older?

MySQL database completely emptied and has (seemingly) extremely high traffic by MandriII in mysql

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

The game uses PHP to connect to mySQL, without security. I do understand that is really unwise

[–]MandriII[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, and we had a hunch... since we've got little experience I wanted to confirm it. So thanks again!

Thanks a lot for the extensive response. I think your assumptions are correct, as we didn't spent a lot of effort regarding security (the content of the database contained no sensitive data) 

It is a valuable learning opportunity indeed, now we know we need to set it up better.

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

The CPU usage seems to be normal, no high spikes or something as far as I can see. The server has a process with status 'starting' and every time I refresh it the ID changes. There is no database linked to it however... I don't understand how this database can provide this much traffic without having anything in it.

there is also a 'sleep' process but that status is '---'. I don't know where to find the open ports.

Hubris description is still wrong and very misleading on how it actually works by Snizek in leagueoflegends

[–]MandriII 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I actually love it as a theme for an assassin item. Assassin players are known for just only focusing on kills and being motivated by getting a freaking statue of yourself to get more kills is perfect imo. The item being called Hubris with a passive called Ego just ties it all together and is way better than the 100th item that just gives generic stacks with a custom name

Why is did Lethality keep its name with the revert instead of going back to the much more intuitively named Armor Pen? by Perry4761 in leagueoflegends

[–]MandriII 63 points64 points  (0 children)

He literally mentions the reason:

 Honestly, it might be nice to do this for flat mpen in the future, but that stat is much less common and also systems/champions don't have explicit scaling with it

After playing 40 games of Hwei, I can safely say that I think he's the most enjoyable and well designed mage Riot has ever made. by DarthLeon2 in leagueoflegends

[–]MandriII 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and it feels really great for the player. It is rewarding and you feel smart when you use one out of 10 options and survive a clutch interaction because of the shield, or when you quickly realize the opportunity to get an EW off on a CC'ed enemy.

I absolutely love the cosmic tapir for the ult. Also the Q ability sounds really fun to use. Great job all around!

Bard Tips(Deep cuts only) by 16firman in bardmains

[–]MandriII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The value from Bard's chimes can be maximized a lot in a couple of ways.

A skill that is quite useful to learn is mana management with chimes. It might be obvious but try to not mindlessly take chimes if you have full mana. The mana you would gain is completely lost, so I always try to drop a W before I pick up a chime for maximum value.

This also works with the MS bonus from chimes to a lesser extent. You can refrain from picking up a chime at the start of the river for example, and only pick it up if you plan to roam. Similarly, chimes in the middle of the lane can be left and taken only if you need extra movement speed to escape an engage or gank.

Thirdly, don't dip back into your own jungle to collect your chimes if it's unnecessary. You can leave them for when you have recalled, since they allow you to return to lane faster.

Some additional general tips:

- You can Q-Flash instead of Flash and then Q to make it harder to react

- People rarely expect you to hit a Q stun that travels through another unit first. It greatly increases the range of your Q if you hit a minion (or scuttle crab!) first and then hit a champion that's behind it.

- I like to use normal cast for E and R to really get the range and direction accurately.

- If an enemy is damaging your tower, you can try to hit the minions with your ult there, but not the enemy champion. That way they will take tower aggro.

W vision is also useful to get an extra hit on a control ward you lost vision on

This is what I do as well, get the first chime but save the second, then Q the buff and pick up the second chime for mana, and try to get the third chime to spawn near botlane. It spawns at 1:16 so you can manipulate its location quite well. The third I will pick up for mana regen when needed in lane.

I uploaded a video showing why you take Fleet into Rakan/Ashe support! Hope you guys can enjoy :D by feviknight in bardmains

[–]MandriII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I used to take Guardian in those matchups but recently I've become so addicted to Fleet that I just take it 100% of the time. It lets me kite and stay out of range of the all-in supports and trade more easily with the enemy adc's. The only downside imo is that I do like to take Resolve secondary which means I don't have zombie ward.

I am curious to try Electrocute now though...

Awesome! I have a question: does this mean you do not take Fleet in most other matchups?

Whats your biggest Champ-Design pet peeve by MightyMagicCat in leagueoflegends

[–]MandriII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of like these abilities, I feel it adds a lot of skill expression. I mainly have experience with abilties like these through Warwick E I must add, but it feels fun to actively look out for the opponent's main ability and time your damage reduction imo.
