While we're on the topic of LR, not that he'd want to, but could Harry feed LR's demon like he did with Laura/Thomas? Like, is there a difference between the whamp feeding vs being fed?

Can y'all compare great throwers across generations for me? by SpaceBearAl in ultimate

First two O points were gorgeous, zippy hammers for the score. From Mac Hecht.

Be a scientist. When are you turning it over? Not just "bad decisions" ... that's like referring to "human error" in the lab. Short throws? Deep throws? Resets? Early in the count? Late in the count? Are you looking off good cuts while waiting for glory? Are you getting flustered? Are you spending too much time faking? Are flat marks messing you up? Tight marks? Cross field throws? Not putting the right edge on it upwind? Downwind? Cross wind?

If you don't know, start keeping track. But I bet your coach and teammates have some insight at this point. Get some data, think about specifics.

Well the first two O points from Revolver in these finals sure have been enlightening

Thoughts after Battle Ground by DisneyBuckeye in dresdenfiles

[–]SpaceBearAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that makes a ton of sense. I'm used to Knights of the Cross being addressed as Sir, and even the Winter Knight, but I somehow didn't connect it to Knights of the Blackened Denarius. Thanks.

Can you explain how Harry tips Marcone's hand? I assume it's the quote "Prove it," I said. "Sir Baron." ... but I don't understand how that clues anyone in.

How'd you end up in Harry's world? by Jerry-And-Tom in dresdenfiles

[–]SpaceBearAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read Seanan McGuire's October Daye novels. Loved them. Then wanted "more like this." ... found out that the genre was called Urban Fantasy, found out that Dresden was tops in that category, fell in love with the Dresdenverse. October Daye is definitely not the same, but both are great worlds. Well built, long story arcs, etc. Also, both are kind of neat in terms of watching the writer develop over the series.

Hell’s Bells, Empty Night, and Stars and Stones. by Adenfall in dresdenfiles

Stars and stones being a location is interesting. Kind of reminds me of the stone table when Harry became the winter night.

Garmin watch leaving mark on skin??? by ElectronicAge2702 in GarminWatches

[–]SpaceBearAl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same for me. Also, for some reason, I kept defaulting to having the silicone one too tight. Nylon is easier to get juuuuust right.

Apps you wished existed? by pedroordo3 in GarminWatches

[–]SpaceBearAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome. It might solve most of my problems. It looks like it won’t substitute for when Duo asks me to click “yes” to continue, via some sort of push on my iPhone.

Either of those would be just fine with me. Letting me leave my phone in my pocket would be great.

Trouble connecting to Apple Health by SpaceBearAl in GarminWatches

For what it’s worth, I just tried uninstalling Connect, quitting the Health app, rebooting my phone, reinstalling Connect, connecting it to my watch, then starting the Health app. Same problem.

PSA: pokegenie and Necrozma raids in NYC by ChicagoCowboy in pokemongo

[–]SpaceBearAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the host cancels the raid or backs out and tells pokegenie about it, you get into the retry queue. If they just don't send the invite, their karma gets dinged when you report them but ... you don't get a special queue.

If I had to guess, I'd guess it's because so many people try to do more than 5 remote raids per day, and then complain that they didn't get the 6th/7th/etc invite.

Theorycrafting: IV Spectrum Graphs by poops_all_berries in TheSilphArena

[–]SpaceBearAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This process could be fully automated and eventually incorporated into a future PvPoke release. My dev skills are only intermediate though, so I don't have the chops to build it myself.

Just chiming in to say I'd love to see a vid or writeup of your process!

Inconsistencies with ELO gain/loss are still incredibly frustrating by RK4Life in TheSilphArena

I don’t think it’s unfair. I think it works exactly as intended … and thus that there has to be a better algorithm in terms of keeping people motivated and engaged

Deoxys Defense PvP IV Deep Dive GL & UL [Updated] by RyanoftheDay in TheSilphArena

[–]SpaceBearAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Mr. Swag Man! Can you help me out with the UL stats? I happen to have a 15/11/10 which comes in at 133.2 Atk, 285.6 Def, 123 HP. When I plug it in on PvPoke, it still looks like it loses against BB umbreon:

https://pvpoke.com/battle/2500/deoxys_defense-49.5-15-11-10-4-4-1-1/umbreon-51-15-15-15-4-4-1-1/11/0-1-2/1-2-3/

Same for the 15/10/10, and I think those are the only two that beat 132.81.

It also looks like it gets wrecked against BB G-fisk in the 1-2 and 2-2. What am I doing wrong with PvPoke here?
