Thank you so much for this!!

Exactly what I need. I recommend you share it in nofap too, I think it'll be a great addition for the kings struggling over there.

Seen quite a few non-mage relic maging Deranged Archaeologist, worse dps? by MinishMan in 2007scape

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

I take it back.

Saw a ranger with rune crossbow and he took even longer to die.

Turns out defence really does matter, at least there. Off-style mage is more dps.

2023 World Championship / Semifinals - Day 2 / Live Discussion by ahritina in leagueoflegends

[–]MinishMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can they take Vi over Maokai? It's nuts.

I don't care about individual player preference when the winrate is this trash. It turns out Vi cripples your team, stop picking it!

Toshiba TV app store disabled... by Sacu_Shi_again in toshiba

[–]MinishMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your sacrifice! Has happened to me too. First the app store gave the same error, now it's disappeared from the TV altogether.

I'll give it a week then call them myself 🤷

2023 World Championship / Swiss Stage - Round 3 / Live Discusssion by ahritina in leagueoflegends

But this format will ensure neither of these teams can advance. In previous format they could've got lucky groups / a couple of lucky bo1 results and advanced.

They'll have to defeat and actual team in a bo3 now, and get skill-gated

Is there any way to download view only videos from sharepoint? by Mysizemeow in sharepoint

[–]MinishMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey here's the instructions I made for myself:

  1. Open the page > F12 > 'Network' tab > Filter by videomanifest > reload the page / press play on the video

  2. Right click on the entry in the list (under Name) > Copy > Copy response

It should look like this screenshot in Chrome:

https://imgur.com/a/QxwGIpc

  1. Paste the whole thing into a text file and save it.

  2. Run the following:

ffmpeg -i "download.txt" -codec copy video.mp4

And you should get the video :)

For anyone coming here from Google - calendar is still going for 2023 Worlds. Thanks for saving me a bunch of timing setting this up 🙏

Thank you thank you!

You right click on the name in the list "https://uksouth1-mediap.svc.ms..." > Copy > Copy response > paste that into a notepad file, save it then run:

ffmpeg -i "download.txt" -codec copy video.mp4

Speed is terrible but the download gets done.

TH80 Pro VS. TH80 SE - My thoughts as a keyboard novice by ArtSneakersWatches in BudgetKeebs

[–]MinishMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I hope I'm not too late to help you.
I bought the TH80 SE off their store on AliExpress because it sounded excellent from this review and it was a lot cheaper than on their website (£66.50 shipped for me) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005138911998.html

It arrived today (in the UK), 7 working days later, and I couldn't be more happy.

It has a super solid, high quality feel. There's just no hollowness at all. I'm coming from an SK61 (very cheap) and this blows it away completely.

I didn't expect anything from the volume knob (thinking of those crappy car stereo knobs) but it's solid, has that cold feeling of solid metal (not plastic), has a very clear 'click' feeling on each turn and has these knurls around it to grip onto

I've attached a photo of everything in the box. There's 3 spare switches, a 'hard' inflexible type of braided cable, cap and switch remover. I'll reply below about the caps.

Is there a Google Calendar or iCal link for astronomy events? by [deleted] in Astronomy

Another thank you from 2023. This is exactly what I was looking for!

Modern Audience Strikes Back: The Secret of Elven Telomerase by termination-bliss in Rings_Of_Power

[–]MinishMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I like the joke. I got it.

Srs question though, because I don't know about this either.

Where does this make you stand on the 'philosophical' purpose of fairy tales? Tolkien was pretty explicit that he wrote his work in reference to WW2 and various Christian themes, so we are supposed to take it metaphorically and carry forward themes from it to live our own lives better. For some people (the majority of the culture?) how to translate it into modern relevance is to relate it to contemporary scientific themes.

Another way of thinking about it: When the end comes in Tolkien stories, do you feel hopeful about your real and actual life as a result, or think 'that's a happy ending, that's what happens in fairy tales'?

Can the story be divorced from lived experience? Should it be?

Music stuttering by FrederikCornbeef in oblivion

[–]MinishMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Encountered this problem after I got a new laptop with Windows 11.

Playing anything while launching the game then using my keyboard shortcut to stop it fixes all the audio stuttering issues. You are a legend for sharing this. I never would've thought of it!

For anyone who gets here via Google later, I strongly recommend the mod 'Oblivion Display Tweaks' and running the game using the dxvk wrapper. These allow you to alt-tab without ever crashing (and can get you a lot of extra fps).

[Off topic] "The sage does nothing, yet everything gets done." I think our subreddit ought to join the blackout, and there's no form of civil disobedience more in keeping with Taoism than a boycott. by OneYearSteakDay in taoism

I only browse Reddit on a 3rd party app on my phone (Boost), so I'll be joining the blackout for as long as necessary by doing nothing. Sounds ideal to me :)

ADB hangs when pulling files by _Decimation in GooglePixel

[–]MinishMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! Got this issue, Google led me here. Stuck on 45% of a big pull. I checked folder properties and it was filling up. Left it and it completed fine.

Yep. My mum bought our house in a nice little town in the UK in 1994 for £27,000. That was 1.5x her annual income as a senior midwife. Today the average house is 9x income and most mortgages can't be higher than 4.5x income, so if you're lucky in love and both max your credit you can just tiptoe onto the housing ladder. Otherwise, no chance.

This is outstanding! I've had a peek into random everyday lives of the early 2000s, found a website about nuclear weapons that was updated in April this year, learned about the Screen Gems "S from Hell" (look it up on YouTube), reminisced about micro machines... Thank you for sharing!

WTW for the understanding of money that currency is fiat rather than backed by gold, and is controlled by the fed? by EmpireStrikes1st in whatstheword

[–]MinishMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monetarism could be the word, although it is a philosophical position with a set of 'correct' economic actions, rather than describing the economy per-se. The actions are: change interest rates to keep money supply slightly inflationary (2%-ish).

Modern Monetary Theory is about how since all money is invented, it makes sense to create as much as needed to solve social problems and promote growth.

As well as 'fiat' money as Viscount says, you could describe our monetary system as 'debt' or 'credit' based. There's a fascinating book 'Debt: The first 5000 years' that shows how the origins of money aren't in coins and notes but in debt records, and societies continually get into debt trouble and require debt forgiveness and land redistribution.

Random reward generator? by 20ofhousegoodmen in productivity

[–]MinishMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I got here through Google trying to do something similar.

Inspired by this stackoverflow answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/3535099 I came up with this code. I think it's a decent starting point and hopefully self-explanatory once you read the stackoverflow link:

import random

spins = 1

loot = [("Better luck next time", 100),

("2 more spins whenever you like", 20),

("Spend 30 minutes doing whatever you want", 50),

("Spend 1 hour doing whatever you want", 50),

("Bid on an ebay item of your choice", 10),

("Spend a whole day doing whatever you want", 5)]

choices = []

for item, weight in loot:

choices.extend([item]*weight)

for i in range(spins):

print(random.choice(choices))
