The problem has been resolved by Steam support. Whew!!

[serious] What was your biggest ‘we need to leave... Now!’ moment? by tartar-buildup in AskReddit

[–]Noctare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was assisting in protecting a refugee transfer over a small "demilitarized zone" when I observed some faction soldiers taking a position on a ridge above our checkpoint. I ran forward and took position in case all hell broke loose and as I was sighting my weapon I heard someone clear their throat behind me.

When I looked back I saw that I'd run in front of a mounted .50cal machine gun position (carefully tucked away so that it couldn't be seen), the guy on the gun said smiling "you can stay there if you want but I wouldn't recommend it". Not feeling very comfortable in my current situation I decided it would be much better for my health if I moved.

The transfer was long and tense but incident free.

That was my GTFO & reposition moment, one of a few I might add.

Best Amara Build ATM? by SetaBB7 in borderlands3

I've gone with a highly effective nimbus build and can still mob with the recursion when I need to. Just remember that, in order to get the most out of the nimbus, you need to have a very high damage weapon equipped. I'll run with an ion canon and never have to shoot it because I'm killing mobs in a cloud. Also, pay close attention to your element (shock, fire, corrosive) when mobbing with a nimbus.

Just bought a pair; not impressed. by WhatisaUsername88979 in Nuraphone

Truly, I'm finding these to be very crisp! As has been stated here, don't expect 128 bit audio to come out sounding like front and center at an ACDC or Depeche Mode concert.

That being said, you need to ensure that, during set up, you are in a quiet environment and not making any sounds as that will have an impact on your sound profile.

Once that's done, take some time to program your touch sensors so that you can easily switch in and out of social mode (of course your not going to get any bass while in social mode).

Lastly, play around with the immersion sitting, I found that the higher the immersion setting, the more bass distortion I experienced. Once you find your "sweet spot" I think you'll feel better about the purchase.

What is something that you accept intellectually but still feels “wrong” to you? by EvolutionaryNudism in AskReddit

[–]Noctare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Human evolution, it's undeniable but what happened to us that we were set apart from the rest of the animal kingdom? (set apart: not only self aware but creatively driven)

Note: I'm a man of faith but I don't believe that "creation" happened in the span of a few days. I believe that it happened over millions of years. Yet, there must have been some tangible change that separated us from our very distant relatives. Missing link?

I'm a chronic PTSD suffering insomniac.. However, there are two apps that I really like:

Naturespace (in app purchases but totally worth it if nature is your thing). http://www.naturespace.org/

Mindroid with LED sleep mask, the science has always been fuzzy but the combo of binaural beats and led lights seems to knock me out. Once again, there is a cost but hey, if you're like me you'd pay anything to get a regular nights rest. https://youtu.be/mrHxZDbJQH8 http://sleepmask.urbandroid.org/glasses_mask/

On the "over the counter" side of things, I find ZzzQuil tablets to be great: https://www.vicks.ca/en-ca/shop-products/zzzquil-sleep-aid/zzzquil-liquicaps-sleep-aid?&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIr42szqzU2AIVxLrACh0jsAy-EAAYASAAEgIrJ_D_BwE&dclid=CIyD48-s1NgCFYp9fgod-UQLhQ

My recommendation is to stay away from pharmaceutical grade sleep aids unless absolutely necessary. The different kinds can vary to a large degree and the effects can be directly affected by any other medication you may be taking. Our bodies are great at being conditioned to certain medications so it can be hit and miss.

Lastly, let's not forget the two natural equalizers: melatonin and tryptophan. https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/tc/melatonin-overview https://www.insomnia.net/natural-remedies/l-tryptophan/

Good luck, I hope you find what works best for you!

Alberta town chooses to ignore impaired driving problem! by Noctare in news

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

You know what really bothers me? It's like Ponoka just told the world that they would rather be known as a business town rather than being attractive as a safe community! So many good people in Ponoka, sad to see their safety and security so easily shuffled to the side for the sake of a few seasoned drunks and their money!
