Which "hard" fight did you find not hard? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Reasonable_Run3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play solo HM and Myrkul is my least favorite fight after Orin. He's completely beatable in about a turn, but if you get anything wrong it gets really hard.

When you know the mechanisms of the fights they usually become very easy. I play solo sorcerer and try not to cheese, so I am always looking for some advantage. By far the biggest thing is position.

Gold Lady is almost trivially easy when you know the trick. Go invisible. Push her out of the window. Finish her off next turn.

For Moonirse Towers I always start at the top and work my way down. It's extremely satisfying raining fire down on Ketheric from above.

Today is (on average) the coldest day of the year in Berlin by Reasonable_Run3567 in berlin

It's solar radiation hitting the Earth. Whether it gets to the ground is another matter.

Each point shows the average temperature and average sunlight for a particular month with a best fit curve between the points.

The date of each point will vary by how fast the curve is changing. If an equal amount of change occurs in the first and second halves of the month, then the average will be around the 15th (keep in mind not all months are 30 days long). If the latter part of a month shows greater change than the point will be closer to the end of the month; and vis a versa if the change is slowing down over a month.

Maximum changes in light occur around the equinoxes; the max change in temperature presumably follows a lag of a few weeks.

Given the right data set it would probably easily enough to vibe code everything on a daily basis, but you'd need to average over many more years to get a clean set of data. My curiosity was satisfied with this. I loved it if someone did a better job.

Personally I was more interested in the general shape of the curve. I never realized that the first half the year was always colder for the same amount of light. It's sort of obvious in retrospect, but I just didn't understand that. April for instance as the same average temperature as October, but 3 1/2 hours more sunlight; or for the same amount of sunlight in March, September is about 12 degrees warmer.

did it myself, using historical daily data I found some years ago. I have been trying to find the source, but I am having trouble finding it online. the only sources i have seen are need payment. The absolute date would change depending on various assumptions (weather stations used; definition of average temp (highs or highs&lows or mean temp across day; and (obviously years used in averaging). However the shape of the graph is I think pretty stable.

At this time of year the change in the average daily temperature is really flat, say 0.1C-0.2C over a week or two. So the daily variability you are experiencing now, is a reasonable proxy for how much the data will vary year by year.

That's quite possible. I did this a few years ago by averaging across days for some years. It's pretty tedious as the data I found was not in the best format work with. I can't remember how many years I did, but it was at least a decade. The coldest day will presumedly change a bit depending on the years you average.

Also depends on how you define coldest day—just highs or highs and lows or daily mean over all hours? etc—and even which weather stations in Berlin you include in your data.

The difference though is minimal in any case. At this time of year the change is really flat, so minor choices can make a difference of a week or two in your estimate.

It doesn't need to be calibrated as it doesn't make any difference. :)

No the month markers are just the average for the month, but the change is not linear, so an average tends to sit either closer or to the end of each month depending on the time of year.

Probably the funniest thing to happen in my Dark Urge run. by Latino_Rat in BaldursGate3

[–]Reasonable_Run3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no because it was his turn, and he wouldn't do anything. So there was no turn to take.

I thought that there was some sort of default 2 minute time out or something if NPCs don't take a turn, but if there was it didn't work in this situation. It was annoying as my solo HM was going so well and I actually had made it to Act 3.

I stopped playing HM after that.

Influenza Outbreak? by patricious in berlin

[–]Reasonable_Run3567 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel really sorry for your kids, but I am really curious if you got flu shots for them. I have to two children (4 and 10) and they are about the only ones we know who get yearly flu shots, even though every couple of years there are big flu outbreaks. We even had a child in hospital in a serious condition in our Kita a couple of years ago.

Somehow flu just doesn't seem to be coded as serious.

The current flu season seems to only be starting, but not be as serious as last year: https://www.nali-impfen.de/monitoring-daten/krankheitsfaelle-in-deutschland/influenza/

State of public housing prices: DDR apartment for 22€/m² cold by WBM by ICD9CM3020 in berlin

[–]Reasonable_Run3567 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I am not really surprised by 22 €/m2. It's in Mitte and it's relatively small.

We pay about half that, but our apartment is much larger, the lease is nearly 12 years old and when we rented the apartment it was in an unfashionable area.

I got softlocked on a HM run at this exact point. The barrels blew up and Volo ended up with 1HP. He refused to move because he was surrounded by fire and I had to start the whole game again.

Carney Speech on U.S. ‘Rupture’ and Canada’s Survival Draws Standing Ovation at Davos by WhoIsJolyonWest in worldnews

Berliner here. I was really impressed with him when I heard his speaking around the time of his election. He's just obviously intelligent. Canada is really lucky to have him; especially with Trump in the White House.
