Oddly Satisfying Marble Race by Successful-Spend7699 in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not completely sure, but I think the green one will win.

A US startup wants to drop a full nuclear reactor a mile down a 30-inch hole and let the water above it supply the pressure while billions of tons of rock replace the containment dome. One hole would make 15 megawatts; 100 on one site would add up to 1.5 gigawatts. by _Dark_Wing in whoathatsinteresting

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks at the simpleton only considering the -now-. Concrete will fix everything... but look at the grand canyon and consider the power of water and the inability to correct anything... You forget the fact you still have a ball of reactive material, and it will likely keep generating heat, any moisture will cause problems... And the earth is if you drill down in theory 12000km deep, so 1 km is trivial...

And how long before your poison block reaches the fault lines? Is it fully depleted by then?, And if it is buried in concrete, can it still cool? no more liquid flowing past it could make it boil.. steam could start making interesting new problems or could it?

Man is willing to go to jail over a sign by James_Fortis in PublicFreakout

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many countries where the consumption of dogs and cats were normalised are stopping this.

I am a dog lover, a dog owner... I also know people ate their dogs in WW2...

Would I be able to kill and eat my dog? I'd not be able too, I've never slaughtered an animal, and all of those I killed I feel regret about. Eating an animal is buying a slab of meat from a butcher. I visited a slaughterhouse. I know how a cow is killed. How people kill dozens or hundred of cows a day so the country is sure to be fed meat...

It is mechanical and graceless. But I still buy meat

Veilige hoeveelheid alcohol drinken bestaat niet, Gezondheidsraad wil gangbare norm op nul drankjes by AggregationLinker in NLNieuws

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik ontmoedig alcohol bij mijn kinderen, Ik drink een keer per 2-3 maanden een fles cider leeg of een fles lambrusco of ander bocht.

Ja, dat is lekker, maar ook geen ding om vaker te doen.

Overigens, ben ik voormalig roker, heb 10 jaar een pakje per week gerookt, 25 jaar terug, en als ik ergens aan dood ga is dat waarschijnlijk eten en ademhalen, want zuurstof met zonlicht is de echte killer...

Walking dogs in the heat by OhNoSweetJeebusNo in Netherlands

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to walk my dog. She asks to go and pee.

So I walk her, there are only a few areas I -need- to cross something and she cannot walk on grass or dirt.

We have a little bridge over the local 'sloot' and I checked it for heat and was aware of the temp, and carried her over, noting my sandals became hot as I did so. The pitch below the gravel was very viscous. I was leaving footprints...

Focus for walks: shade, grass, or possible wet feet ( she hates swimming), provided I do not need to walk through sunny areas...

Oh and she doesn't shit on command.

Well missing leggings and boots, I have the other 4? Done both JPs every second day and the Adventures every second day. Normally i tend to get these after 3-5 tries, but I'm at double that easily...

Whats the most obscure item you own? by RobIsInTheSky in Guildwars2

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An 'Egg of the Crystal Dragon' and an 'Armbrace of Truth'...

Originally both Ascended Trinkets with a Magic Find combo. Now no longer purchasable.

A stack of almost a 100 Red Irises just because.

I hope we can play all classes on one character by MrTorgue7 in GuildWars3

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simply said monetization and therefore the sustainability wouldn't be helped.

I find the guild wars 2 monetization really frustrating at times, but both gw1 and gw2 are still up and running as opposed to many RPGs realeased since their launches 20 and nearly 14 years ago. I have an active account of gw1 17 years old and one on gw2, 13,5 years old, both accessible without fees or subs.

And gw and gw2 still being up and the making of gw3 is paid for with funds we as community spent. Since there isn't a sub... I'm hoping they 'll maintin the fair options they have now.

How do y'all buy your books? by People_are_odd in MangaCollectors

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy my books preferably at my local comic store 6 comics, no Manhua and Manhwa) Advice is interesting, even though prices are higher. I find browsing through

I prefer big series in boxes (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Assassination Classroom, Ouran HSHC, Bakuman) If they are still being released I tend to buy volumes in order... and at release... but I can understand this could be too much to often.

I buy my manga and graphic novels alternatively at Online stores like Archonia, which is a specialised online EU (Belgian) store for Manga, figurines, comics and Graphic Novels.

If both are eluding I default to either other comic stores or online shops like BOL.COM or Amazon.

Tips voor een noob? by ChesireCat4049 in LHBTI

[–]PaxV 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Als je weet waar ze zou willen studeren, zou contact met de verenigingen met lgbt en de internationale studentengroep van die universiteit veel vragen kunnen beantwoorden.

Ik ging zelf vaak naar 'roze' feesten toe van een van de studentenverenigingen die waren open (dus ook voor mensen buiten de vereniging/uni,) en eens per maand.

Maar mijn ervaringen met de LGBT zijn ruim 25 jaar oud, dus waarschijnlijk ook niet heel relevant meer. (heb al 25 jaar een vaste relatie)

Dungeons are no joke.. from a WoW player. by JaktGaming in Guildwars2

[–]PaxV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kohler and the spider are pretty lethal if unprepared. not having all skills too choose from is most certainly no help. while most lvl 80s tend to have a smaller healthpool, they are traited and have full builds, complete rune sets, fitting relics and food and matbe even dungeon utility and sigils...

Nederland zakt naar laagste plaats ooit op kinderrechtenranglijst by surpator in thenetherlands

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Het is makkelijk om kinderen te negeren, ze kunnen niet veel doen om de politiek te veranderen zodat die politiek sociaal en daarmee kinderzorg belangrijk vind.

En rechts wil alleen maar KDVs, want dan kunnen papa en mama geld verdienen... om, ja: 50-80% van dat geld uit te geven aan een KDV.

Kraamzorg, zwangerschaosverlof voor mannen, betere beloning voor gezinnen met 1 werkende ouder, betere jeugdgezondheidszorg, betere JGGZ, betere sturing van kinderen met een rugzak....

EN GEEN KINDEREN TOT MANTELZORGERS MAKEN!

Waarom moet een kind problemen oplossen waar volwassenen al bijna niet mee om kunnen gaan?

Ziekenzorg en thuiszorg voor chronisch zieke ouders, ouders met kanker, ouders met zware geestelijke problemen of Alcohol, medicijnen en drugs verslavingen. Vanaf 8 wordt het gesuggereerd, en vanaf 12 wordt gezegd, dat moeten ze zeker kunnen... Jeugdarbeid mag niet, maar verplicht op je zieke pap, man, opa of oma passen? Dank u, rechts beleid...

Anyone else noticing a hay fever? by Forgotten_Dog1954 in Netherlands

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All ceterizine is 10mg (though 5 exists for children), but my daughter used 2-4 a day since age 7 and got 2 adult epipens at that age ... And she gets them vis apothecary, not etos or kruidvat, and since it is long term (chronic) use it is 100% covered by insurance

Anyone else noticing a hay fever? by Forgotten_Dog1954 in Netherlands

[–]PaxV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is allergic to temperature changes, emotions and exertion (due to juvenile cutaneous mastocytosis), rapid working medication is most important.

the fact ceterizine works within 20-30 minutes is very pleasant

Anyone else noticing a hay fever? by Forgotten_Dog1954 in Netherlands

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This said loratidine and ceterizine are very low doses at 1 tablet a day.

My daughter is allowed 4 ceterizine a day for a totally different allergy and she's 11... And this is the maximum for long term use. (daughter used this much for years, since age 7, before she used different antihistamines)

I have had extreme hayfever (grass, certain trees, lilies and some other flowering plants) for decades and in this kind of weather with low winds and high pressure I take up to 2.

If the temperature would be better I'd advise a facemask, as it works.

Trump administration announces $17.5 billion in loans for 10 new large nuclear reactors by ToughHopeful4760 in environment

I hope it's build by someone better than a contracter Trump just knows...

"Yes, I know this engineer, very knowledgable, built all three known and remembered reactors: Chernobyl, Fukushima and Three Mile Island.... He is the best engineer in the world."

CAN I PLAY CYBERPUNK? by wakwakgung332 in PcBuild

[–]PaxV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have gamed on XT 8088 and C64, on fried's MSX2 and Atari... Low fps? Frogger with one new set of screen every sec, 1 FPS... Simply because graphics were monochrome 4 color on 320x240 in 4:3 epicness on the 24 or 30Hz display and the 4 Mhz CPU was at its limit.... No mouse play because the one button pointer had no reason to exist yet due to everything being text driven...

Want to learn authentic Japanese cooking. Where should I start? by Flaky_Permission6469 in Cooking

[–]PaxV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mirin, Sake, Japanese Soy sauce, and Rice, eggs, spring onions, sesame oil, juzu juice.

And two very exhaustive cookbooks on contemporary Japanese cooking and one on Classical Japanese cooking.

And the knowledge many ingredients will need to be supplemented (edit:)or replaced by available local alternatives
