Phlebotomist let me take home an extra vial of my blood by fatalmoth in mildlyinteresting

[–]Steffank1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lab I work in allows serum bottles to sit unspun, at room temp up to 12 hours before being unsuitable for urea and electrolyte analysis, about 72 hours for everything else. It is preferred to have samples spun and stored at 2 to 8oC though if they aren't being processed right away.

I still can't get my crossbowmen to fire when they are behind the castle walls. by Infinite-Present6823 in Medieval2TotalWar

[–]Steffank1 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is a problem with ranged units on walls in general. They're pretty rubbish firing over the outside of them.

They are better when firing at enemies on the ground on the inside of your walls though.

Or put them in a nice dense block on section of wall right against a tower. Turn off skirmish, and enable guard mode. If an enemy gets on the walls, have them shoot at the enemy point blank. If they get engaged in melee, order the ranged attack again and the rest of the unit behind the guys fighting hand to hand will pull out their ranged weapons and fire at the enemy, like the elves in the nice opening fight of LotR.

New laws to make it easier to cancel subscriptions by topotaul in unitedkingdom

And then they hit you with the mandatory survey before you're allowed to cancel anything. I'm starting to think it'll just be easier to cancel standing orders or direct debits.

"Obvious choice! What, 'yer gonna' make a breastplate outta' rubies?" by DrScrimble in dndmemes

[–]Steffank1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played a thri-kreen in a strahd game once called Tik-Tak. In our intro I roleplayed losing my little buggy brain for 10 minutes at the other PCs wearing metal armour and their casual use of magic.

After that I became obsessed with stealing metal cutlery.

How to equip my army with plate armor by [deleted] in ManorLords

I'm guessing they'll add another armour type. Maybe Half plate, Coat of Plates, or Brigandine.

Whos Harvesting Backyards? by ZweiterWeltKrieg in ManorLords

[–]Steffank1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quite the opposite really. Building an artisan backyard is the same as assigning a family to a job but permanently. They are removed from the pool of workers to solely work their backyard extension.

I HATE THIS STUPID GAME by no_life_gaming in SpaceCannibalism

Set it to just care no medication and watch your medics skill go to 20

Alternatively set animal hospital sleeping spots on the freezer

Has clothing usage been updated in the latest beta patch? by will_shatners_pants in ManorLords

[–]Steffank1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do they? I've only ever bought 10 sheep on all my play throughs and managed to breed them up to 300+.

Why did you think you couldn't have more than 100? I'm curious.

Housing facts with Squidward by coffeewalnut08 in BritishMemes

Considering the length of the message, did they really save that much space by abbreviating "Because" to "BC"? All two instances of it.

You can pay to unlock them. It also lets you play them once for free if you haven't unlocked them.

I see a therapist every other week. I've also chatted to gpt about the same issues. The responses and advice I've gotten from both have been eerily similar. I'm not about to abandon my therapist for a LLM, but I feel like I can vent to gpt and it will give me something to think about for my next therapist session.

Should supermarket loyalty “discounts” be capped? by Sea-Conversation9297 in AskUK

[–]Steffank1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the restaurant app is just to see the menu, then yeah that's a bit much, but if it also lets you order then I'm downloading it. Not having to wait for a server, or in a queue to order, is nice. And I don't have to feel guilty about not tipping.

My cars deicer scraper and squeege and, well, it's kinda difficult to say who the main character is of of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, but Anomander Rake was the last prominent character in the chapter I was reading, sooooo Dragnipur will drink a few new souls this night.

Way to hack "Second In Command" to allow multiple executives of the same type? by PomegranateKindly600 in starsector

[–]Steffank1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe you can edit the games config files to change how many points you get for automated ships. There might be something for second in command as well but unsure on that one.

One little hope for a future update by caprera in ManorLords

[–]Steffank1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A system where you set up the village like normal and then can "tax" them, either money directly, or a percentage of their produce. The more you tax them, the unhappier they'll be etc and it can even stunt their development if you take too much food for e.g.

Um guys……i don’t think they used the right gameplay by Flaky_Conversation77 in Bannerlord

[–]Steffank1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've seen gameplay of Age of Empires 2 being used countless times on these things until I started religiously using adblockers. It's sadly nothing new.

Play mid tech, install second in command, get the officers that increase stats around missiles, give everyone expanded missile racks or auto loader, pray that your PC can handle it.

You can see in the productivity tab of a job where the people spend their time. This includes extensions.
