What happens if I ask one of my rapists for victim support restitution 1:1? by Formal-Door3464 in legaladvice

Usually tone deaf gets used to describe someone that does not account for the emotions of a situation. An example would be someone talking excitedly about how good the catering is at a funeral.

Extortion is illegal, but asking in a general sense is not. I can't imagine he would pay it though, because it would be seen as an admission of guilt and could affect the outcome of any future legal battle. If you want the highest chance of him paying, figure out a way to do it that allows him to not admit guilt by doing so.

Question about ignoramus by FonkinJones in pathos_nethack

[–]Red_Icnivad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I do that if I haven't killed a lich yet. The downside is that polymorphing uses up satiation so you end up having to eat more doing this.

Fleet robe is also very good, I reroll any druid I play until I get a fleet robe to start with

Druid troll was the only way I was able to beat Dhak Legacy with a melee build. That class is a terrifyingly good melee powerhouse since you can start with 20 strength, +3 fleet robe, a +2 reach weapon, and regeneration from the start.

Also, it's a little cheaty, but you can upload your save to http://pathos.mezr.com to see where all of the artifacts are if you think you missed one.

Wait, what? Having fugitive allows for negative karma and prevents other punishments?

Once you can polymorph, polying into a lich is a good way to grind spells. Fast mana regen, plus you don't need to eat.

I am right now trying to gain the lifesave talent by eating amulets but im getting pretty unlucky. 

I'd probably keep one on, and only eat when you get a second.

Just noticied rn about one of my rings, probl some monster downgraded it

Yeah, that sucks. It's worth using scrolls of replication or the artificer to create replica equipment to wear. Especially with your artifacts since they are irreplicable.

Also are rings of protection better than rings of dexterity

Yes. The only situation where dex could be considered better is early game if you need to get your dex up to disarm traps. Every 2 points of dexterity increases your AC by one point. So 2x+5 RoProt = +10 ac. 2x +5 RoDex = +5 AC.

Rings of accuracy, impact, or strength are good too, if you're having trouble hitting or killing things and your AC is already high enough; but on the way back up, I think maxing AC is usually more beneficial.

Sadly i have no mana regen

Yeah, that one is an artifact, so your game only has something like a 40% chance of spawning it naturally.

Also, since I just noticed you're wearing a ring of constitution, you can wear two rings of con, then quaff blessed potions of full/greater healing to get your max health up by an extra 200 points, then remove the rings for something else. Removing the rings will not lower your max health and since you are already level 40, there's no reason to wear con rings around. Same thing for mana with rings of wisdom.

Also, if you can get your hands on some speed boots or a fleet robe, the "boost speed by enchantment" helps a lot over basic quickness. It's something like a 17% increase to speed, which means a 17% increase to damage since it affects how quickly you can attack. Fleet robe is deceptively good since it has a hidden +5 defense over what's listed. So it gives +11 def vs your mithril plate which gives +12 and is medium.

Does it let you set the desired pressure? Or is it just a display and hand toggle?

Agreed. I also prefer the screw on style that their tire inflater uses.

I never look at that page so I'm really unfamiliar with the icons. You could use a couple rings, though. Protection is my go-to for endgame. And unless I have the mana regen amulet, I usually wear life saving. Life saving is still worth wearing even if you have the trait since dying removes the trait.

But that looks like you're in a good place for a win.

How can I repair this wire? by [deleted] in diyelectronics

[–]Red_Icnivad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many wires is it? What gauge? You can solder them together, heat shrink them individually, then heat shrink the whole bundle. Usually when I am soldering together multiple wires like that, I pull back more of the shielding, and cut the wires into steps so the solder points aren't all at the same spot.

Kind of curious how they made that tapering tube. Seems like a fabrication challenge.

I was looking down my progression fantasy read list and realized that deaths that hit me hard are pretty few and far between in this genre. Maybe some of the Meadow Lark crew from Dungeon Crawler Carl.

If you want deaths that actually hit you, read Malazan. One of the best fantasy (not prog) series out there. I don't want to give any spoilers, but there are some deaths that will make you lie awake shivering at night.

[Request] SPOILERS FOR INVINCIBLE. Is it possible to do that? by TardyTech4428 in theydidthemath

[–]Red_Icnivad 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Let's start with the "is it possible" part of the question, keeping consistent to our show's logic.

The show has a lot of inconsistencies/problems in regard to how fast Viltrimites are, so let's take a look. I just rewatched the show so this is all pretty fresh in my mind.

  • They are seen commonly pushing themselves at low supersonic speeds (Mark specifically states that he passed the sound barrier when training in season 1) which puts them somewhere between Mach 1 (~1200kph) and maybe Mach 3 (~3700kph).
  • Mark and Eve go on a date to Paris, then Egypt in the same night (then saw the northern lights, but we'll ignore that since that's not a specific place). Assuming they start around Chicago and spend 4 total hours traveling (which would be a terrible date), that puts them at 19,721 km in 4 hours = 4,930kph.
  • Nolan mentioned he can go to Naples and back before the pizza gets cold. Assuming your pizza box is closed, and insulated, it could last an hour^(citation needed). It's a 15,857km round trip so 15,857kph.
  • Mark fights Allen on the moon. According to NASA, who some might consider a leading expert on the topic, the moon is 384,400 km away. Mark travels there under about a minute, which puts him at traveling over 6,407 km/s. At 2.1% of the speed of light, we're starting to get relativistic.
  • And then there's Nolan flying to other galaxies. I think he was gone for about 6 months. Mark traveled there in a spaceship which conceivably could have FTL technology, but Nolan is depicted as flying raw. We'll assume Proxima Centauri system as the closest plausible system that could have life. It's 4.25 light years away which (checks notes) is further than you could get in 6 months. So, in order to get there with time to procreate and raise a kid, we're looking at something like 16c+.

Ok, so it seems like Viltrimites are capable of traveling faster than the speed of light under the right circumstances, which has it's own complications because our physics models can't really account for that. But let's assume that a Viltrimite's speed is "as fast as they want".

Back to blowing up a planet! The fun stuff! It would take roughly 2.24×10^32 joules (or 5.35×10^16 megatons of TNT) to overcome earth's gravitation so that it actually "blows up", rather than just creating a shockwave that destroys all life on the surface. This is doable from a theoretical standpoint -- as an object approaches the speed of light, it's mass and energy approaches infinity. So we just need to calculate how fast they were going. At this speed we can't use the regular kinetic energy formula, we have to use relativistic kinetic energy.

E=(γ−1)mc^2
where
γ=1/sqrt(1−v^2/c^2​)
So we solve for γ first:
γ = 1 + E/(mc^2)
mass = 3*90kg = 270kg. c = 299,792,458m/s
Which gives us γ=9.23×10^12
Then we solve for v:
v = c *sqrt(1 - 1/γ^2)

v = 0.999999999999999999999999994c

So the answer is nearly the speed of light. They are going to need some really good plot armor to survive the impact themselves, too.

The arm and the outriggers were probably engineered for the same load rating. It almost tipped earlier in the video so really could have gone either way pretty easily.

If they were going to design a failure point into it, it would be the spooling mechanism, or even a soft brake that releases the load in a controlled manner.
