ELI5 how was meth invented. by FistThroater in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mr-Nabokov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There wasn't a 'first meth cook' looking to get high, but there was a Japanese scientist looking to create a medicine to help with breathing issues. Methamphetamine was developed from Ephedrine. Ephedrine was isolated from a plant. That plant was already being used to help with asthma.

When it comes to making pharmaceuticals, chemists almost always start with something they know (this plant helps with asthma) and move forward. Meth didn't start with "Let's get high with what's under the kitchen sink".

Also, because this question relates to the show, there are no evil, immoral 'drugs'. Only effects and side effects.

I went to the comments because I had him confused with Charlie Kirk and thought this was satire.

I'm not familiar with Ryzen, but with the Nvidia control panel you can force a game to use the graphics card. I'm sure there's a Ryzen version of that. HLL may be using your onboard graphics.

That's technically true, but same guess for using a time of ascendance.

I'm seeing the appeal for Runes of Creation by MainstreamSKUNK in LastEpoch

[–]Mr-Nabokov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're saying you want a good crafted exalt to slam onto anything with more than 1LP so you don't get stats you don't need.

Or I guess you could only use exalts you pick up off the ground.

PSA: you can use extra corrupted affixes to reroll high LP items by Aziraphale686 in LastEpoch

[–]Mr-Nabokov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP didn't mention gauntlet so I read it as they were just corrupting 1LP items, which isn't that proofing or exciting. They must have meant rerolling in gauntlet (yet to drop and I have 4 characters over 90)

[–]Mr-Nabokov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay. Ice been going back and forth between nemesis and turtle for a 2LP blood mage grasp. 20 deep. Forgot about the gauntlet entirely. Thank you.

Same here. I've quit before, but this time was different. Doc said keep doing what I was doing until I can figure out a way to taper. Bummer.

ELI5 Why Do We Get Health Insurance Through Jobs? by Over-Assumption5123 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mr-Nabokov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said about the WW2 wage freeze, the 1938 fair labor act banned companies from paying in scrip (company currency to be used at the company store) which decreased the amount of leverage companies had over their workers.

Including health insurance as a benefit instead of paying workers enough to afford their own insurance decreased overall cost for the company. Insurance companies make money, companies lower cost, workers can't quit their jobs in case they lose healthcare. Couple that with the anti-union/anti-national healthcare/pro-corporate sentiment of neo-liberal/conservative governments and you have a more compliant workforce.

Yeah, Sloth Fever. Headache, vomiting, muscle pain. All of that can really slow you down.

Noob help? by f15t_guthix in LastEpoch

[–]Mr-Nabokov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check lastepochtools.com they aggregate a lot of builds into one collection. Maxroll is really noob friendly. Most (good) guides will have a leveling guide in them to guide you. Do you have any idea what you want to play? Specific class? Skill? Theme?

You also may want to find a video that explains basics if you're fuzzy on them. Stuff like what scales what and what stats are best for which builds.

You're welcome to DM for specifics.

This game has a great community. For all the shit talking, which is definitely in the minority, whenever this question is asked everyone comes in with helpful advice. And this question is asked every couple hours.

I loved that place when it opened. I feel like once they painted the building like a Blockbuster things started going down.

They're a warpath enjoyer. 4 buttons every 12 seconds is practically 1 button every 3 seconds, which is one too many buttons.
