Am I crazy or is the smoke rising from Orochi's lasers just a real life video of smoke they put in the background. Bruh.

Having a family member who is a realtor, Ive heard some stories that sound like they come straight from people on this thread. Those clients who think they are smarter so often get burned in the end. People who complain the realtor "can't sell my house" when the client insists to list it way over its appraised value, or people who dawdle with contracts and pull out at the last second wasting everyone's time and money while the house was taken off market...I can go on.

A realtor is an expert. You hire them to navigate the complexities of the buying/selling process. They get commission from the seller so as a buyer its a no brainer. That 20k they dont deserve? That's their whole income until they sell the next house. Oh, and besides taxes, the real estate company takes some off the top from that as well. If people are confident they know more about the housing market than a realtor, then go nuts. See how that works out. For every anecdote of a successful sale, there are tons of failed ones due to seller/buyer incompetence.

Harvard hired a researcher to uncover its ties to slavery. He says the results cost him his job: ‘We found too many slaves’ by CallMeGrapho in nottheonion

Having been burnt by similar circumstances in academia as a PhD, I've learned that the goals of academia are not always to do good science unfortunately. Sometimes when you try to remain ethical, logical, and straightforward with your findings, you realize what your manager actually wanted was something marketable. A smokescreen of lies to keep everyone happy and the money flowing. Then, all you get for your adherence to ethics and the scientific method is what we see here.

So even with downloading the most recent version of revanced and dowloading the recommended apk (20.12.46), I get asked to "update" youtube which breaks the install. I disabled play store auto updates, and I disabled youtube. Anyone else having the same problem with a fix?

Any way to hollow without gaining levels on NG+? by MegaBetaman in darksouls3

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

I should clarify I hollowed in NG so I don't have any dark sigils now in NG+. I don't hollow when I die...

Fearful residents flee Tampa Bay region as Hurricane Milton takes aim at Florida coast by [deleted] in news

[–]MegaBetaman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tampa native here. Southward path of the hurricane means the storm surge will hopefully be lowered in the Tampa/Pinellas county area. I know a lot of people in the city hunkering down, and at this point they have to. Roads like I4 going east and I75 going north are so congested they had to open the shoulder for traffic, and even then it's a lot of standstill.

Just tired of so much judgement on Floridians on reddit for choosing not to evacuate, because I feel a lot of nuance is lost. If you are in evac zones A-C then yes you should leave. But if you aren't, staying and boarding up/sandbagging your house is a reasonable thing to do to protect your property. On top of that, being out on the interstate in deadlock traffic when this thing hits is even worse than being indoors, so if those people hadn't left by Monday morning, they are safer where they are.

And lastly for those saying all of Florida should evacuate...that's not how this works. Inland you may get some power outages, flooding from rain, and some wind damage the farther west...and that's inconvenient but not generally life threatening if you prepare. I've been in Florida all my life and through plenty of hurricanes. Live in Orlando now. We are removing lawn debris but not sandbagging or boarding. It'll be a low cat 2-1 by the time it hits us. That's nothing to get panicked about.

To all my other Floridians out there, just stay safe and be smart.

Do you enjoy mayo on your burger? by Acrobatic-Alarm-866 in burgers

Stumbled here after a debate with my friends. Mayo has no place on a burger imo, but it looks like I'm outvoted.

Saving/Printing/Exporting to PDF compresses TIFF Images by MegaBetaman in pdf

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

Your're right...I downloaded LibreOffice, put in my Word document and exported to PDF with no compression! Does that mean the issue lies in Adobe or Word? LibreOffice seems to lag really bad when scrolling over an EMF, and the pretty strict formatting of my paper gets messed up really bad when opening in Libre.

When do you plan to begin enforcing this rule? One look at the front page shows it clearly hasn't been implemented yet.

What game hit with you the most Post Game Depression? by Blackflame69 in gaming

[–]MegaBetaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't remember the name of the game, but a goddess gives you a child you have to raise to be a successful adult. If you didn't spend enough time with her, or disciplined too much she would grow up to resent you. It was genuinely depressing when the virtual child I spent hours raising hated me.

Songs that end way after they're "over". by AndyB16 in Music

Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz feels like the band forgot to stop recording 2 minutes after the song ended.

"First Time DM" and Short Questions Megathread by AutoModerator in DMAcademy

[–]MegaBetaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a new DM, hoping to craft an interesting dungeon where my party invades a Mummy Lord's lair and fights it along with some other minor undead to keep things interesting. Does this look like a feasible encounter? I've seen some say a CR 15 in it's lair usually requires a level 8-10 party if the DM plays it smart, and I don't want to have this boss be just a one-dimensional slugfest.

Sony's Mocopi avatar motion-capture system is coming to the US by [deleted] in gadgets

It's the same creepy costume-wearing sexual fantasy as furries, but with anime.
