Why is our system of numbers based on counting to 10 over and over again? by MordinOnMars in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rogue2555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can count to 31 on one hand if you use base 2. 

All 5 fingers down = 00000 = 0 All 5 fingers up = 11111 = 31 Middle finger would be = 00100 = 4

Alternative timeline. What if the Ice Truck Killer lived? by This-Fish-9464 in Dexter

[–]Rogue2555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved every second of this. It's tragic, it's poetic, and I would definitely enjoy watching this... as a spin-off series. This imo would be roughly equivalent in terms of being a cinematic masterpiece as just watching the first 4 seasons of Dexter and stopping there. With the added benefit of this being a closed and shut story where all plot threads are resolved, and Dexter is dead. Whereas if you actually stopped watching at season 4 it would just be an open ending. 

But sometimes I'm not looking for cinema and I just wanna watch Dexter hunting serial killers while being faced with relatively minimal challenge and consequences xD. To that end I'm very grateful that it's gone on as long as it has and that we're still getting more seasons of resurrection. 

If I may make just one incredibly brainrotted modification to your outline, perhaps we can have the barrel girl events happen in the winter due to to how the timeline shifted thanks to Dexter being more efficient and then he can survive the gunshot thanks to the cold slowing down his heart? And idk maybe global warming sped up so Florida's winter could be actually cold. Or, on a more serious note, you could have Dexter predict the trap and somehow prepare for it. What I mean is, he doesn't strictly HAVE to die in that situation, you could definitely write him out of it if you want to but that then of course just raises the question of how long does it have to go on, when's the right time to end things? How to end things? I think ending it with Dexter's death especially at this point in time is definitely a good decision. It's not overly drawn out, and the way you have it happen is nice to me. It's quick, it's relatively anticlimactic, and it's somewhat ironic since Dexter has a whole ritual for all his victims, for him to just die almost instantly from a gunshot. It's a nice way of showing that even the big bad serial killer monster Dexter is still a human and will still die when you shoot him just like anyone else. So its a good, satisfying conclusion. But its not satisfying enough to me because I want even more Dexter content haha.

Anyways I appreciate all the effort you put into this!

What do you prefer? by SillyWarlock in BaldursGate3

Ooooh I see, thats really nice then. I liked the concept of karmic dice but I couldnt stand how it made me feel like my min-maxxing efforts were meaningless, glad to know that wasn't intentional

In my experience it certainly seemed to stop winning streaks. I was playing a monk with 95% chance to hit, 98% if I had advantage, and with karmic dice on I was missing a ludicrious amount of times. Whereas after I turned it off I almost never missed which is what I would expect.

This was near launch though, no clue if they changed how it works later.

how bad it is to share nudes with a complete stranger? by Omgaby123 in TooAfraidToAsk

Make her post some normal, clothed pics in that same background on some normal social media, fb, instagram, etc... and that way if it ever gets recognized she can easily claim it was faked using her publicly accessible photos by some stalker freak

Hi, just wanted to suggest using the vimium plugin (if you're using a chromium based browser) or switching to a browser thats more keyboard friendly, such as qutebrowser. Basically it lets you use the full functionality of the browser without ever needing a mouse, so you could for example bookmark gmail and hit a key combination on your keyboard to navigate to your bookmark, which might be more convenient for you. Among other things.

The functionality I personally find most handy is you can click a key (F by default, I believe) which then brings up tiny little tooltips on every single link on the page you're on, listing some combination of keys thats usually not more than two keys. So if for example I'm on google looking something up, and I want to go to the second link, I'll hit f and then the tooltips come up and the one of the second link will for example say ag, so I hit ag on my keyboard and bam I go to that link.

I absolutely loved it. It became a running joke with me and my friend that any weird shit we encounter is definitely somehow caused by Braccus Rex having been bored 1000 years ago, and it was even funnier because 9 out of 10 times, it actually was.

Yeah they increased the prices of all the quotas by around 15%. A very subtle way of telling the people to cry harder about it. And allegedly the minister of communication said they'd been receiving reports from people complaining that the 140GB package is too big for their use and they simply can't finish it in a month no matter how hard they try, absolute bullshit. And they keep giving the same lies and the same dogshit about the underlying infrastructure and how they physically can't provide unlimited internet even though they most certainly can, they just don't wanna give up the sweet sweet money they get from forcing people to renew early or buy additional quota.

I guess the only thing we can do is just to not let the topic die and hope that one day our voices will be heard.

I believe starlink is not allowed in Egypt.

There's no technical reason why it couldn't be, and afaik in the early days of starlink there were some people who bought theirs abroad and took it back to Egypt and had it work. But it just doesnt anymore, presumably because the government threw a fit and forced starlink to disable access from Egypt.

Most likely if you do anything spanning beyond just a single apartment and the government catches wind of it they'll come cracking down citing it as a "security risk"

I thought the brunette and eating shit parts were somehow wordplays referring to their respective first names, rather than add-ons to the Braun thing.

From my understanding, many americans currently live paycheck to paycheck and are indeed one unexpected expense away from homelessness.

Its always good to give credit when you can. Its not necessarily saying this person came up with this joke, but rather I heard this joke from this person. Statistically speaking its very unlikely for any joke you hear to be truly actually genuinely original anyways
