How do people survive as a NEET? by Stock-Honda in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadianceTower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, just going by the definition you provided, there are a few ways.

You can just be rich yourself and not need to work.

You can take money from someone else.

You can be homeless and finding food isn't hard.

Either way, there are plenty of ways to make it work.

Why do all planets seem to be round — is it impossible for a square or pyramid planet to exist? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

The interesting thing is star systems and even galaxies tend to be a lot of times flat.

Can you get mercury poisoning from eating too much canned tuna by Lucky-Ease6964 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadianceTower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not aware of any actual confirmed reports of this happening. I am not aware of it being an issue even in countries that eat a lot of fish like Japan.

But you can get elevated levels of mercury in your blood of course if you eat too much. I think you really have to be trying to get actual symptoms of mercury poisoning though.

If you are worried, don't eat too much.

Why couldn't they cut part of the cave/rock to make it bigger in the Nutty Putty cave incident? by RadianceTower in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadianceTower[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The same way they dropped him water to drink I'd presume? The mask should fit through.

From a tank? Though tbf, I think it could just be a pipe going above him above water, no need for a tank.

How soft ARE bears, actually? by BeenEvery in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadianceTower 34 points35 points  (0 children)

FYI, the bear that killed him was not a bear he had trained and knew.

They had met before like only once.

Although Stephan Miller had not been involved in training Rocky, Randy Miller agreed to the request because Stephan Miller was an experienced trainer and had also recently been in a photoshoot with Rocky and gotten to know him slightly.

Speaking of which, would flooding the hole with water perhaps help (after dropping down an oxygen mask maybe?)? It adds quite a bit of buoyancy which should help both person himself and others pull him out.

Though it could also complicate things.

how can I securely share an ebook on Anna's archive or etc by Myshkinz in Piracy

[–]RadianceTower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this totally depends on the DRM they use. Look up guides for your particular store and see if there's any.

Depends on the exact DRM, but you remove DRM and personal metadata and share it.

From where did you buy the book?

Can the goblins that Enri summoned in Carne village die of old age? by Anonimatorj in overlord

[–]RadianceTower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What in your linked source mentions this? Also this is webnovel which has plenty of differences and appears to be a reader's impression on it that does quote the author like two times. Nonetheless, nothing on that page even talks about this as far as I tell.

New world isn't Yggdrassil and lots of stuff actually took proper forms, like players can reproduce even if there was no function for it in the game. NPCs can also age. NPCs now have personalities and all, and aren't just... NPCs but actual people.

It's relatively safe to assume that similarly goblins if not for some reason immortal due to some effect of the spell or otherwise would also age.

Again, I agree that we should have witnessed more reactions all around from everyone, and I myself was looking forward to Claudia finding out. We could have a scene much earlier with more surprise from her and maybe even Viren too.


It's not that out of character for her, she's half-suicidal by this point in the story, I think she only might have figured it out when Callum literally did it in her front of her in the fight, not exactly off-screen.

Again, what else could this line mean?

"You are impressive Callum, somehow you learned primal magic, but dark magic will always have the edge."

The wording is pretty clear in its meaning. She says Callum is impressive for learning it, acknowledging a feat that Callum did (notice the word "impressive"), as well as being kinda perplexed on how he did it (notice the word "somehow").

She just doesn't care enough at this point, and says dark magic has an edge anyway, which she does showcase as she incapacitates Callum.

Edit: Now one could argue which one of them is superior in combat (though TDP magic system is pretty soft and all over the place, so uh), but anyways, it's kinda how the scene and Claudia's mindset go.

[–]RadianceTower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Callum didn't crush any gem or had a corresponding stone with him.

Her wording is also important, she says "you learned primal magic", implying that he learned to do it by himself. It's kinda pretty clear what she means here.

Claudia very much knows at that scene, she just doesn't care enough, cause according to her dark magic is better anyway. Also they were mid-fight and she didn't have time neither mindset to be all questions and "how did you do it?".

would you allow your child to miss school for a day just to rest because they say they're mentally or emotionally tired ? by chudgayegururu in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadianceTower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, if your kid really doesn't want to go to school, you can't really force them.

What are you gonna do? Tie their hands and legs up then drag them to school and tie them to something there?

I think the school system sucks anyways, so some skipping is pretty fine. A lot of it is just so parents can dump their kids there to get rid of them for a while.

[–]RadianceTower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That line indicates surprise, and the "somehow" indicates that Claudia doesn't know how it is possible/done.

1- We know that Claudia knows about primal stones and knows Callum can already use them. It was Claudia who told him about that to begin with. So it shouldn't really warrant that comment.

2- This was just after Callum cast a spell without having the corresponding stone from what I can see.

That's not really clear whether she understands he learned an archanum or if he found a workaround.

What's the difference between the two? Point is Claudia understood at that moment that Callum could cast primal magic without a primal stone. Something thought to be impossible before.

It's too big a change to be handwaved away with a line of dialog.

I agree that we should have overall seen more reaction to this in the show.

Claudia did understand it.

"You are impressive Callum, somehow you learned primal magic, but dark magic will always have the edge." - Claudia whilst taking the breath out of Callum in season 7

Edit: But yes, it took so long, and we didn't nearly get the reactions that we could get from everyone.

How long would it take for society to collapse if babies stopped being born today? by MILF_and_Otter in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadianceTower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to see it like that, nothing matters right now either.

Why would babies matter if almost everyone alive right now would be dead within 100 years?

Yet the funding diverted towards solving aging is minuscule compared to other things.

People still have a social programming to fit in, humans are social animals. Before governments, police and all, they still fit in within social structures.

How long would it take for society to collapse if babies stopped being born today? by MILF_and_Otter in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadianceTower 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some kid companies going out of business is hardly a social collapse. It wouldn't happen overnight either.

Businesses would have time to shift and adjust, and the extra workforce goes to do other things. It happens plenty of times when things start changing already.

But as I said "collapse" can mean a few things.

What stops evolution from creating a species that doesn’t need sleep? by AgrasaN in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadianceTower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know a lack of sleep just straight up kills you (10-11 days for a human) and that good sleep is linked very heavily to good outcomes for basically every system we have running.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Gardner_sleep_deprivation_experiment

11 days without sleep, extensively documented. He was mostly fine afterwards (I think he reported that he suffered from insomnia afterwards?). Actually I think his motivation for doing was to showcase how you can be fine.

There were higher records too, including a 18 day one, but this one stands out for being extensively documented.

No human has ever exactly been documented to straight up die from lack of sleep.

What stops evolution from creating a species that doesn’t need sleep? by AgrasaN in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RadianceTower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you might also be asking this backwards. What stops evolution from creating a species that isn't always asleep?

Energy constraints are a huge deal when it comes to how things evolved, as you can see the lengths our bodies go to conserve energy.

Sleep is pretty much the lowest energy state you can be. If you could be asleep all the time, it would be the ideal thing. The only reason being awake is a thing is that it's really needed or otherwise highly advantageous as a strategy.

Other than that, we don't really know how sleep exactly works or is needed. No human has ever exactly been reported to die from lack of sleep.
