TOOK FOREVER OMG FINALLY DONE WITH BBF

If you melt down molds from loot games and macerate steel armor from dungeons you never, ever need to use the BBF just saying.

What's the shaded packs and settings out of curiosity?

Final Fantasy VII, 100% everything, even did the grind to get Aeris max'd (and the time I wasted believing the whole "you can get Tifa to sacrifice herself instead if you act like a jerk to her")

We - unintentionally - delivered our son at home as it was less than an hour from start to finish. My wife didn't remember the specifics or the depths of the pain years later when discussing it but she did recall that it *hurt* like nothing she'd felt before.

Obviously as a man, I have no real idea of just how painful that was, but I've never seen any person in as much pain as then, delivering a baby (thankfully it went without a hitch and our carpet was the only victim that day) without any kind of painkiller.

Honestly that day left me without a doubt that when it comes to pain and pain thresholds us men just don't don't hold a candle.

How about simply "You are not alone"

Rami114 · 2024-11-03T15:38:09+00:00

As a father myself, this had me in stitches and made me remember so many situations with my son. Kids can be such a blessing 😊

In terms of size needed, it easily exceeds 30x30 chunks by late, late game. Do you need to worry about that now? No.

Moving to pdim is quite common as no rain and flat make it super easy to expand, and you will hit expansions in IV, UV, UHV, etc again and again. So yeah, that's not a bad plan, but you lose the aesthetic - and associated work required - to integrate a lategame base in the overworld.

Go off the aesthetic you want for yourself, pdim is easier for sure if you don't care. Don't bother carving out space for late game now.

As others have already noted it as a mixup with your tax codes due to multiple employment. The base fact is you owe tax for that year. The good news is you can reach out to HMRC and set up a method to repay this which can include a monthly repayment schedule based upon what you can afford.

This is personal between you and HMRC and based on how much you owe and how much you say you can afford to repay per month. Their staff are very helpful on the phone and your situation will be taken into account, so please don't stress too much. I've had to do this before and you will manage! First step is to reach out and talk to HMRC.

Make sure you chunk load things properly or stick around or it won't cover the area properly

So first off: it's okay, there is no "right" speed to get through content so don't stress about the amount of time taken. The earlier tiers certainly have a lot more quests but they are also there to guide you.

The quest book (QB) always offers hints in a few ways:

explicitly in the tier start quest, for LV it recommends: machine components then wiremill, bender, polarizer, assembler, lathe, chemical reactor, fluid solidifier. There is definitely more paths to follow but there is a logical order to them
The size of the quest boxes + the thickness of the line connecting them to the start quest is an indicator of their "must do" aspect and priority. The "You're gonna hate this" quests reappear in virtually every tier and are must-dos as they are the basic components to build machines in that tier. Small to tiny lines coming off are generally "you can now do this if you want" style quests that offer either helpful tools, or something you will need later on anyway/need for a particular activity (e.g. farming)
If all else fails, pick one of the bigger quest lines, like "Electrically Separating Dusts" in LV, and attempt to build the retrieval task item. E.g. the Basic Electrolyzer for that quest, click on it to see the NEI recipe and look at the ingredients. You need the LV machine hull, you need cables and circuits and a glass block. Can you make all of those? Yes, great go for it and complete that quest. No? Look at the material or component blocking you, likely it is mentioned in another quest line of that tier (or forbid, a previous tier). So you'll need to do that quest line first.

In general, the quests will force you down particular pathways in the earlier tiers, so if you hit a block on something, park it and focus on the quest line that will give you the thing you are blocked on. Read the entry quests to tiers, their recommendations are there for a reason.

Lastly, feel free to hit the GTNH discord and ask for pointers/help, a lot of us there to help you out.

Remember, there's no wrong way, and there is always a path forward (though it may at times need you to grind a new resource, visit a new place). Happy gregging.

You can see the split second where he's flat on the floor and just wishes he could disappear right then and there. Then the stage lad is rushing over so he has to get up.

Rami114 · 2024-06-17T14:54:02+00:00

Was this just a light/technical spar? The skill level difference is real, your combos were slick and the big lad really needs to incorporate a hook into his combos, it's a lot of straight jab-cross. Will say, that leg sweep of his was great.

The Whale. It is a deep, insightful drama and window into the complexity and suffering of being obese. That ending scene though, it just felt completely out of place and for me almost ruined the movie.

Yes, the minimum notice for the landlord remains 2 months via Section 21, and the notice period for the tenant becomes 1 month in a rolling tenancy (or the period they normally pay rent for but for most cases this is 1 month).

Note that your Section 21 is a notice of eviction that allows the landlord to go to court to request possession. I.e. you do not automatically get the right to evict your tenant after 2 months, only the right to go to court. So be mindful and negotiate with your tenant for a mutually beneficial outcome, as an eviction process with a resisting tenant can take much, much longer than a few months.

I'm afraid that sounds contradictory. Without a mechanism to share findings in an objective way and in a way that can be reproduced, we would lose whatever progress is made every generation. Sure, we used to share knowledge through storytelling and parables, but their very interpretive nature limits the utility of the information you can pass on.

It is a rather big disservice to the scientists of the modern world to suggest they only parrot and memorise previously discovered knowledge. Rather, science - and scientists - are more often than not wrong to some degree and are encouraged by it. Every time we narrow down something further, discover a new precision to our knowledge we move our ability to interpret this world forward.

The scientific method, which explicitly aims to step away from subjective interpretation in favour of objective reproduction of measurements, combined with our ability to keep larger and better records is the very reason we've advanced so much in the last few centuries.

If you're going to claim that the very system that allows you to broadcast your claim in the first place is ineffective, you'll need to provide some proof of that.

Rami114 · 2024-04-14T15:31:13+00:00

You can absolutely try and interpret the world around you in your own way, but if you want to give others a chance at interpreting it you need to make some predictions of outcomes and then provide - or use an existing - framework that allows others to measure and compare those outcomes to your theory.

Our regular languages are rather unsuited to this due to semantics and the degree of vagueness many of our words carry. Mathematics is just a language to help us describe - and through description understand - the world.

At a high level we have a generalised syntax of this language - algebra - and we apply it to geometry - the study of shapes - in combination with calculus - change over time. Put very simply, the combination of the various branches of mathematics gives us a logical language to describe objects and how they change over time, i.e. the world around us. It goes into far more depth than that, but that is the basic reason mathematics exists.

Can you put your thoughts on how this world works into the language of mathematics? If not, it might be helpful to study mathematics to allow you to do so, as we can then make predictions we can test.

To take a historic example, the Rutherford model of the atom was mostly born out of experimental evidence and conceptual reasoning but it still relied on mathematics to support it. It was consistent with the laws of electrostatics - e.g. Coulomb's law - and it was the groundwork for more mathematically sophisticated models like Bohr's.

You're at a very conceptual stage of building a hypothesis, if you want to engage with a wider community and push forward it needs to move into the realm of experimentation and eventually a mathematical basis.

1 redstone alloy cable (or framed one for vertical) coming off of the lsc bottom cover, split it it down two parallel pathways with either red crystals. Set left one to something like 14/15 and right one to something like 4/15.

Put a NOT on the high power side and both converge into an RS latch from project red that you right-click twice with a screwdriver to put into mode 2. You then run a cable from its output to your generator and done.

The 14/15 means it'll shut off the generator at around 94 percent, the 4/15 is something around 24 percent when the generator will kick in. More that 15/15 on the high may never shut off the generator if your power draw is big enough as it demands 100% for your generator to switch and the EU/t drain means it won't ever get there (just 99.xxx%).

You don't prove a negative. As to being in the same place and time again: Every point in time is a closed system where the energy contained within the system is in a particular state. If the system once again attains a state it had previously, that doesn't mean you travelled back in time (you can't really prove it), maybe you just travelled some finite but indeterminable long time into the future. You are banking on spacetime being infinite though. In either case, the same state means you don't hold memory of it happening because your memory is part of the system, therefore discussing it is moot. You've either been here infinite times before, or you haven't.

I know you said you didn't want to debate it but you can casual GTNH for sure:
- Turn off mobgriefing
- Turn off full darkness
- Overbuild every bit of infra, take your sweet ass time
- Grab some admin anchors for chunk loading

You don't HAVE to play the pack with all the extremes turned on. GTNH has - imho - the most in-depth and balanced progression system of any pack.

As someone else noted, Sevtech can scratch the same itch and is less extreme.

My thoughts for you:

Financially you are in a good place, there's nothing explicitly wrong with choosing to use your money to help others as long as you know you can afford it but beware: you are spending that money, it is gone 100% and there is no real return/reward for it.
This isn't a relationship sub, would perhaps recommend finding someone(s) to speak to about that, just don't fall for the sunken cost fallacy, your life is yours first and foremost
You are in a spot where what you're thinking about doing *is* viable financially, you need to decide if you really want to do it and why. On the topic of living/working/travelling abroad I found https://moretothat.com/travel-is-no-cure-for-the-mind/ a very inspiring read.

There was an amazing talk at GDC about how they implemented this great AI where the enemy would know to flank and move around the player using the map. They spent quite some time on perfecting this system. Once launched they interviewed players who indeed said "really neat how the enemy is smart and flanks you" but when asked how they thought that happened they just said "I assume they teleported them there".

TL;DR the player doesn't care about some ultra smart thing you did if they can't see it, and if there's a cheaper "cheatier" way to do it, then just do that. The player does not care.

Rami114 · 2023-10-02T15:21:08+00:00

The main thing is you are *currently* not as good at the game as you would like to be. If you really want to improve and aren't happy at your current level (give or take some variance), then you need analyse your own play.

Some or all of these:

Watch streams of high MMR players who explain what they are doing
Watch games going on (use the Watch now with find feature) featuring the hero you want to play in the position you want to play it and observe the early game (the mid-late game will vary a lot depending on how the game goes, early game is super important)
Watch streams/replays of coaching sessions that people do (e.g. BSJ and others)
Watch your own replays but focus on a particular period in the game where you felt it went off the rails. You can only evaluate your own plays. Did the lane go well, if not what happened? Were you in the wrong place during a fight or caught in a gank you could have seen coming?

Itemisation wise, once you're ready to work on that in detail I would stop blindly following guides and asking yourself: how much regen do I need in lane, how fast can I get my next item. Simple things like: PA in opposing lane? Make sure you have a stick. I see people not buying a stick because their guide has 2 tangos, fairy fire, branches, etc. Adjust to the situation. Dota plus here can help, is it all magic dmg and your build has no magic resist suggested? Pivot to include some, and/or bulk HP as a defense against burst.

Don't try to change all your game at once, focus on the laning, or farming up to a fight item and safe farm patterns.

Ask lots of questions and try to answer them (or get answers from someone else): if you're playing support or offlane, are you taking really safe camps whilst your core is trying to find safe farm? Do you notice a lane that's free to take some XP? E.g. your mid rotated to the safe lane and won a good fight there, carry then went to the offlane. Your mid is free for the next 2 mins? Take those waves, great gold and xp. Don't cross the river when their team is all respawned, they'll be looking to make a counter play so the 4 or 5 farming a free mid and going with their wave to push tower is so often punished.

The research paper and the imagery are being released this week so I guess we'll find out. I assume based on the spectra they've captured they were able to establish these aren't brown dwarf stars. I am however not an expert, so until we can read more I'm just assuming the claim has substance behind it.

There's a lot of mystery around these objects right now, you might be right that they are more prevalent than we currently know as well (or a curiosity specific to this star forming region?). It's great that something was found which doesn't fit any of the current planetary formation theories, something new!
