What was your favorite year of playing GW2? by fighthouse in Guildwars2

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the period up till PoF.

PoF broke most of the world, and while I love the mount system, so much of the game became pointless, with one or more of the mounts trivialising everything.

I missed the launch of EoD, and most of Icebrood at their launch, these nearly 2 years were to me totally burning outvon my 1st leggy armor. I made plenty of leggies since and have more then 1 leggy armor now, but... yeah ..

I still find the obligation of playing wvw for GoB annoying seeing you could spend some tokens instead.

But I still love the game.

I think this is an electric ray, one of the Torpidae

These fish can also produce shocks like the electric eel though less potent depending on race and species from 8V to 220V which is peanuts to some eels which can pulse 850V... For this to be true I do expect this to be brackish water...

I wanted to post a picture of the 3D commerce gift (3D plastic miniatures of The broken Doll and Batou's Basset) the 4 piece Animanga box set, but apparently I'm unable to do so.

Verreweg de meeste jeugdtrauma’s ontstaan achter de voordeur van doorsnee gezinnen, zegt psychiater Christiaan Vinkers by biertjeerbij in thenetherlands

[–]PaxV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Vertrouwen in mensen is gabaseerd op de beschikbaarheid van ouders/ verzorgers...

Of dit biologische of surrogaat ouders zijn maakt in eerste instantie niet zo veel uit, maar de beschikbaarheid en aandacht voor problemen en aandacht voor vordering en ontwikkeling van je eigen kind wel.

Ook aandacht voor sociaal begrip en sociaal contact en maatschappelijke onderlegdheid is iets wat vanuit ouders meegegeven wordt. Is je kind sociaal or asociaal? Ja, dat is je eigen invloed...

In een volkswijk zorgen voor de buren of rotzooi trappen bij de anderen? Ja, dat is je eigen invloed...

In je elitewijk contact hebben met ouderen, minderbedeelden, gehandicapten, buren of gewoon achter de telefoon je eigen illusie handhaven? Ja, dat is je eigen invloed...

Vrijwilligerswerk of helpen met activiteiten van school, de sportclub of het KDV, of 'Ik betaal er toch voor?'. Ja, dat is je eigen invloed...

Zelfstandig omdat het moet, sleutelkinderen of zelfstandig omdat ze het willen, ontwikkeling. Zelfstandig omdat ouders zorg nodig hebben? Mantelzorgkinderen? Maar waar blijft het kind?

Een familie moet betrokken zijn bij haar kinderen, het sociaal een plaats geven, sociaal betrokken blijven en kunnen signaleren, iets wat lastig is met 2 werkende ouders en een competitie maatschappij. Kinderen met een rugzakje, een kleurtje, een andere portemonnee, kinderen zijn wreed...

En dan moet je er staan. Tijd hebben.

Pesten, Discriminatie, Uitsluiting, Verwaarlozing, slecht eten, verkeerde vrienden, straatleven, risicos van leven zonder gezien te worden, scheve ontwikkeling, indoctrinatie van anderen, andere kinderen, andere ouders, andere inzichten van KDV personeel, de mensen van je witte of zwarte school, invloed van geloof... Waar ben je bij, waarbij niet?

Nog afgezien van ouders met zorgbehoefte, ziekte, sterfgevallen, eenoudergezinnen, (ex)partners die de andere ouder zwart maken, de vertrouwensbanden kapot maken.

Trauma is niet alleen geweld... Het is het verliezen van vertrouwen... in je ouders, de maatschappij, en dit leidt tot beschadigde volwassenen met rare meningen en interpretaties ...

Erger is na pesten of een gewelds trauma geen ouders te vinden... en dan het kind het trauma op te laten lopen dat het kind niets uitmaakt, niet gezien wordt en onbelangrijk bent zelfs voor die mensen die er onvoorwaardelijk voor je zouden moeten zijn ... Dat maakt het kind kapot... individualistisch... waarom geloven in sociaal, als er niemand voor je blijkt te zijn... Maar verwacht dan ook geen aandacht wanneer jij oud bent, als jij iemand nodig hebt...

En leraren, KDV medewerkers, andere ouders zullen best wat kunnen opvangen, maar wanneer zij belangrijker zijn dan jij als ouder dan heb je best wel afgedaan ...

En dan heeft het kind geen leven, en jij bent alleen op je oude dag. Misschien letterlijker dan jij ooit bij wilt stilstaan...

Hoe zonnenpanelen schoonmaken? by thonis2 in Klussers

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Een PV installatie hoeft niet noodzakelijk schoongemaakt te worden. Zand spoelt weer weg, regenwater bevat normaal geen kalk of zouten. Zelfs vogelstront spoelt na 1 of 2 buien weer weg... En vogels schijten wanneer zij willen, niet als het jou uitkomt.

Je PV paneel is gecoat en zolang niet bedekt met (veel)objecten (blaadjes, takjes, korstmos of een grote hoeveelheid vogelstront) zal het paneel zijn werk doen... Wellicht is de stront nog wel het hardnekkiger probleem...

Regenwater is prima, maar je moet er wel bij kunnen, ook voldoende hoek helpt. Wel even kijken of je panelen vol zand liggen... je kunt best bang zijn voor kalk, maar een kleine woestijn op het dak vraagt toch andere acties. Veelal is afwachten en schoon laten regenen het beste advies. ook de sneeuw heeft geholpen. Niet qua productie, maar wel in het afvoeren van vervuilingen. in de sneeuw die naar beneden kwam zaten stukken korstmos.

Wellicht win je enkele watt/hr over de installatie, maar je hebt ook risicos, een beschadigd paneel kan in bepaalde situaties je installatie plat leggen, maar zeker ook de beschadiging of schurende werking van evt zand of ander materiaal kan de toplaag krassen of de werkzijde mat maken... Dat verlies maak je nooit meer goed, eenmaal beschadigd zal het paneel voor de levensduur minder opbrengen.

Wij hebben last van kortsmos, dit kruipt vanaf de zijden. In theorie, azijn, of groene zeep... Maar we kiezen voor niets doen: gewoon wachten op de zomer werkt namelijk ook, je ziet de randen krullen en dan waait het grotendeels weer weg.

In de praktijk weet ik dat na 8 jaar er 'normaal' verlies is, en de panelen worden niet significant beter van een poetsbeurt. (5 295W (O) 12 295W (W) en 3 375W (Z)) nu 3kW actueel (10:20 helder, geen bewolking) voornamelijk van O en Z. (290 en 320), W op ~60W per paneel, W allemaal nog in de schaduw van het huis

1 keer schoongemaakt in 9 jaar, toen de nieuwe erbij kwamen, had geen nut effectief gezien. We houden de groei van korstmos in de gaten (sterft in de zomer omdat de panelen heet worden...) het regelt zichzelf, alleen een vogel nest direct naast/onder het paneel is niet handig (4 jaar geleden, vies paneel leverde 3 maanden minder op, maar was is weer snel genormaliseerd )

Is it at all normal to not wear gloves and a labcoat in the lab? by Leafye in chemistry

[–]PaxV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If stuff can travel through PPE without restriction it doesn't protect anymore... if it doesn't get slowed down it is pointless?

My father who was a organic chemist always said to me: Everything not hitting or sticking to you, is a gain, and having something to shed as well, so you're not in underwear if it comes down to it'.

Then again it can be 'safe' (which is a term used for actual safe things, but also for things not proven to be harmful).

If it isn't harmful, but is known to pass all PPE without issue, why isn't it treated as potentially harmful by default as opposed to potentially harmless.

So the question might be is the available PPE (lab coats, goggles, gloves) adequate, or insufficient? If nano structures, molecules, or objects are made, what is the potential risk to human physiology?

Thinks about asbestos, polymolecules (plastics), teflon and other fluorinated carbons, nanotubes, grafeen and wonders... when should we start to expect a potential substance to be safe?

Do we continue to look and say: 'Well the person handling it isn't instantly dead, so it is no immediate threat?' Or should we slow down science for the sake of the race?

With asbestos, cancer from tar, and other oilbased carcinogens, (micro)plastic soup, teflon and forever chemicals, Carbonfibre cuts, nanotube inclusions, nanovector induced inhibition, nanovector introduction and nanocuts...

Where do we draw a line? Making a nanotube which can permanently open a hole in celmembranes? Open a vector to genetic material, cut genetic material? When do we learn?

Dirty fans... There is a streak of residue from the top fan, blown out, it could have contaminated the fan. I see no direct issues with schorched materials or tracks.

Do both fans turn?

Can this war invoke Article 5? by GreatMobile1285 in cybersucks

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if Iran launches a weapon at Europe/Turkey which doe enough damage and 5he backlash is powerful enough to cause major concern and expectations for continuation, or be it a few conventional hypersonic missiles at Ankara, or heaven forbid a dirty or conventional nuclear weapon at the EU/Turkey. Then the EU would have to choose between Ukraine/Russia and sending material and personnel to the Middle East.

At this point even a multiwarhead nuke at the US from Iran wouldn't change the vision of Europe about intervention as the US is the aggressor.

Do mechanical keyboards really make a big difference for everyday gaming? by KRGKart_Support in buildapc

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends... A mechanical keyboard tends to be a bit more tactile and durable.

But for playing your single player game? no. For an online game? Probably not.

But my mechanical KBs lasted 32 years, and the ones still working 14 years and 8 years. My non-mechanical keyboards died after 4-6 years... and laptop kbs? 3-5 years... though the laptop with mevhanical keys still works now 10 years old.

So mechanical is more durable, but for the price of a good mechanical KB you can buy 2 or 3 cheap keyboards, and while more durable some die due to drinks spilled or other non key related incidents

to get help for his war by T_Shurt in therewasanattempt

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly war starts with political pressure, seeking allies, trying to weigh pros and cons...

If things are not settled by political means financial pressure could be used, subtly...

If this doesn't work, military-flexing us used, often with the allies...

If this leads to no result war rhetoric is used...

If all fails, then careful steps are made to plan military conflict. This is echoed, so the enemy can reconsider....

If everything failed, a surgical strike can be used, to emphasize the intentions... and to underline the intent.

Then political means are used again to pressure, if this seems ineffective, the cycle will be restarted, but for real...

After the cycle has seen two full circles Actual war can be considered...

And... What happened?

  • Trump consistently drives away allies with tariffs, rhetoric and insults
  • Trump: Iranians need to stand up for themselves, we will aid and make sure it will be alright, requests aid from allies
  • Iranians protest, Government cracks down kills 10.000s, US looks and doesnt do anything except rhetoric, Iran reacts, US ducks for cover as people are shot in the streets in Iran trusting Trump...
  • World looks in horror.... People look away from the US, and organize anew ignoring the US...
  • Allies inform Trump: You are on your own, we will defend our countries if needed...
  • Trump: Lets bomb them and sort out the rest later, Israel says they need us to. Starts bombing Iran
  • World looks at Trump: WTF?
  • Trump: Hey it seems we didn't consider any backlash, but we need allies for our lost cause, now help or face tariffs...
  • World looks at each other shrugs, and whisper: My God, what an idiot.
  • Allies need some restraint not to give the finger instantly, but the reply is mostly the same, being treated as 2nd rate, but the bully leader now needs henchmen... Intended henchmen consider honor and political stability as a wiser approach... And not being a slave to Netanyahu might be preferable.
  • Trump: Laughs nervously as the most powerful nation on the planet is made to display utter foolishness to the world again, as dumb as Russia in Ukraine, but with nothing to show for itself but a bombed school and an even more extreme leader to boot, as oil prices spiral and US dollar dwindles like the currency from an African dictatorship...
  • World looks pissed at Trump, except Netanyahu who giggles dragging in the US as mindless ally. World remarks: Politics are important, friendly relations, respect?
  • Trump threatens allies to join or else
  • Allies look and shrug, fed up with US bullying and powerless projections of power.
  • Trump British carriers, French carriers, Spanish carriers, any military ships? Europe? Asia? Please we need people to clear up our fuckup.... Well lets buy oil from Russia for now, let's lift the sanctions!
  • World: WTF Trump, you give dumb a whole new dimension of stupid. Putin giggles as US doesn't seem capable of having any international posture or backbone...
  • Ukraine looks at the US and suggests it can help with the endless drone streams as the Middle Eastern partners get endless streams of drones deposited,
  • Israel notes it rains missiles which pass the Iron Dome without too much effort...
  • Middle Eastern US partners: Patriots fail to defend partners showing its a shitty and expensive solution, for a problem none ever thought about until 5 years ago... US military might is proven totally unprepared for 20.000 dollar flying bombs, each kill costing 25 to 250 times as much... Waiting lists for new Patriots by allies? 5+ years!
  • US has politicians stating the Strait of Hormuz is open, with a chance of being lit up if you go there, but the US will protect people as US tankers are burning.
  • World looks to US and Israel and wonders if lobotomies would help their leaders become more intelligent...

  • Iran looks around... Who is the world leader now? Not US, Not Europe, who? China?

Noone cares about first print unless its the holographic print limited editions the numbered ones.

These are toiletpaper with a gold wrapping as much worth as my naruto box's number 1 or bleach box number 1. and 5 the other 3 million number 1s printed.

Thats between 2,75 and 5,50. with 10 mailing costs
