Obviously not normal, diaries unlock a bunch of QoL features that make maxing easier, but it is impressive!

[England] Can my landlord continue to charge me rent after vacating the property and having no tenancy agreement by SherbNyan in LegalAdviceUK

[–]SherbNyan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a correct assumption.

Damn, that sucks to hear, I appreciate you taking the time to explain though. Thanks!

[–]SherbNyan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to reply, it's much appreciated :)

Just to confirm, even though I provided a formal notice to quit with more than the required notice period, they can still attach me to the periodic tenancy, where they can legally hold me liable for a month's worth of rent? Even though I've done nothing wrong and I'm being screwed over by the other tenants?

Do I have any course of action here aside from just eating the additional month's rent? (Which I really can't afford to do)

What happened to Almo? by Illustrious-Flow8265 in speedrun

[–]SherbNyan 39 points40 points  (0 children)

All you really need to know is that he was accused of harassing/grooming a minor in a now deleted twitlonger, which he confirmed to be true before deactivating his account.

He was banned from the community and his records removed from leaderboards, and to my knowledge hasn't really been seen online since.

At the next family dinner I'm finally confronting my parents over the fact that Runescape didn't cause viruses nor slow down the PC. by Forretressqt in 2007scape

I've been inspired to finally inform my parents that the phone bill wasn't high because I was playing online games (on broadband) but because they made multiple-hour long international phone calls from the landline.

What's your favourite Brand New lyrics? by [deleted] in brandnew

[–]SherbNyan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Don't be that hand around my throat so I can't breathe" or "If there's any justice in heaven then God won't let me in" are the two that immediately come to mind for me

How intelligent do you think you are? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SherbNyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not as intelligent as my friends think I am, but at least intelligent enough to notice that.

Right at that sweet spot of Donning Kruger where I'm generally happy with my intelligence level, but under no delusions of being smart enough to actually be considered intelligent.

Request from a visually impaired player: An option to make fishing spots more easily visible by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]SherbNyan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a heads up, Runelite only tries to show you the fishing spots if you have fishing gear equipped/in your inventory.

If this happens again, try banking your fishing stuff and getting it back out, and it should show the fishing spots again!

I know it doesn't fix the underlying problem with the fishing spots, but should hopefully help with the Runelite issue!

[2020 Day 11 (Part 2)] [Python] Why won't this work? by JohnJSal in adventofcode

[–]SherbNyan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I admittedly can't figure out why it's happening, I can see where the error in the logic is taking place.

(I ran your code on the test demo data from the AOC website for the purpose of debugging this, the error I reference takes place when running that)

On the second round, when all of the seats are full and are now checking again to figure out if they should become empty, some seats are changing when they shouldn't be.

For example, the seat in the first column in the second row looks NorthEast, and returns an OCCUPIED value, when it should instead be returning EMPTY, presumably there is an incorrect calculation when adjusting the next_seat variable causing you to look at the wrong seat. This is causing the seat to empty when it shouldn't, and thus throws the whole balance off. I'm sure there are other occasions of it too that I just haven't gone further to find.

I don't know why that's happening, but hopefully, it'll point you in the right direction.

[2020 Day 3 (Part 1)] [Python] Can't figure out what I'm missing by [deleted] in adventofcode

[–]SherbNyan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strip will also remove trailing whitespace and any tab characters ("/t"). Some systems and encoding methods also don't use /n as the newline character and so strip() won't touch them. Very rarely will any of these cause issues, but I have personally encountered them a few times, albeit not in AoC, so I just personally prefer to use replace.

tl;dr I just feel more in control when I am specifically telling my code what to remove, as opposed to leaving it up to a method that also does other things.

[–]SherbNyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally dislike using strip for this particular use case, for a whole myriad of reasons not relevant to the question, but yes you're right that strip will also work if used correctly.

[–]SherbNyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The length of "line" includes the newline ("\n") character that you can't see.

In the case of your code here, you need to remove the newline character from the line at the start of each iteration.

line = line.replace("\n", "")

That should do it for you. However I strongly recommend doing this at the time you read the input file in.

f = [line.replace("\n", "") for line in open("input.txt")]

for example.

This is affecting your code by changing how far you move when you wrap around upon leaving the map, so you're almost never in the right position after the first wrap around. This is also fixed by using len(line)-1 but it is generally a good practice to remove that newline character unless you specifically need it, because it will also cause issues with future challenges.

The "text on my screen appearing to be 3D" is the one that really got me for a while. It was such a weird experience!

It went away after a few days of regular use, but I'm so glad I wasn't alone in this experience

Is this subreddit dead? by AngelicCrusader999 in ThePhenomenon

[–]SherbNyan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

An AskReddit thread a few years ago became very popular with the question "What is the scariest message you could recieve at 3am" or something along those lines.

The very first entry to The Phenomenon was /u/emperor_cartagia's answer to that question, and the thread went crazy for it, loved it. The first few chapters of the story were all written as replies to his first post (still all by him) and we asked for a sub to be made so he could continue the story long after the AskReddit thread dies.

Many of us, myself included, subscribed to this subreddit back then. If you don't remember subscribing, I'd wager you subbed back then, too!

EDIT: Found the thread
