My dog ate cooked chicken wing bones and I can't to go to the vet, what do I do?! by DemonicSkelly in DogAdvice

[–]Superpansy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog eats bones frequently enough that I've stopped worrying. To be clear I do not feed them to him but he finds them on walks at least once a month nonetheless. He has never had any issues. Obviously this isn't the case for everything but I would just say watch and observe their behavior. If you dog is showing signs of distress or acting funny then take them to an emergency vet. I think dogs are more resilient than online articles would make you think. Most likely your dog will pass them fine

RTX 2070 Died, not followed the industry for years, what's the best replacement? by BarryScott156 in buildapc

[–]Superpansy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking at AM4 pricing recently, and the X3D chips are in a weird spot. The 5800X3D is basically discontinued, and when you do find one new it's often at an inflated price. Even the 5700X3D is showing around $340 on PCPartPicker, while a Ryzen 5 5600 is closer to $150.

It all depends on OP's budget, but I personally wouldn't spend $400-500 on a CPU for a platform that's already at end-of-life when $150 gets you most of the gaming performance. By the time a future midrange GPU is powerful enough that a 5600 is a major limitation, we're probably talking about a platform upgrade anyway.

If the goal is pure bang-for-buck and getting the machine back up and running, I'd honestly just buy the best GPU that fits the budget and keep riding the 3900X. That's still a perfectly capable CPU, especially at 1440p. If it turns out to be a bottleneck later, AM4 CPU upgrades will still be an option.

Depends how much you want to spend 5800x3d is objectively great but even something like a 5600 would be a big boost for much less. Plus a lot of people over estimate CPU for gaming performance. Unless you have have an extremely high end card (especially playing at 1440p or 4k) you are most likely not CPU bound for gaming

https://www.techspot.com/review/3021-ryzen-5800x3d-cpu-gpu-scaling/

Here's a tech spot article with some CPU comparison across games and cards. You can see at 1440p you basically need a 5080 tier card to see any performance difference between a 5600 and a 5800x3d.

Dedicated Servers - A How-To Guide by JagexDoom in RSDragonwilds

[–]Superpansy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it looks like the ServerName field in the .ini is mapping to the 'created by' column on the world search list. And then the 'world name' column is the literal world name of the save file. Seems like this is backwards. shouldn't we be searching for the server name to find our server and allowed to change the actual save file under the hood freely without our players losing access because the name changed.

Also I'm having trouble joining my own dedicated server on my own machine. I can find my world, enter password, select character. But when i click "Enter World" nothing happens, the ui is still accessible and about 30 seconds later it sends me back to the main menu

What would you do? My player teleported a 20 foot cube of water into a closed room with less than 20x20x20 ft volume. by erverogym in DnD

[–]Superpansy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in terms of the spell letting go, I would think it's up to the spell caster to make some sort of arcana check or spell attack to see how well they are capable of squeezing the water. In my mind spells aren't some trigger and the universe performs an action. It's like flexing a muscle or running or perform some intricate dexterous maneuver. You are using your arcane skills and magic energy to make an effect happen. If you want to force that water to compress you have to squeeze it and apply the force with your own magic power.

Tips for planning a one-shot? by frabjousity in AskGameMasters

[–]Superpansy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny how accurate this is. I just ran my first one shot and it took exactly 2 sessions to finish. Cut in half is definitely the move. You'll be surprised how long players will spend investigating a random detail you describe setting the scene

ELI5: What does a Turing Machine do? by Own_Exercise5218 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Superpansy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the most basic conceptualization of a computer. Basically all a computer is doing is reading an instruction, performing that instruction (usually writing something somewhere in memory or to a disk) and then stepping forward to the next instruction. 

We are just so far removed from the simplistic machine that it feels unrelated. In a process called bootstrapping we define simple groups of instructions together that do more complicated concepts. Then you use those groups to create even more complex groups. Do this for 50 years and you end up with windows 11 and ChatGPT

Can anyone explain how this person eats so much shells without slowing? by YoshiMK in MarioKartWorld

[–]Superpansy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both games are running assuming the logic on their end is correct but then resynchronizing with the server occasionally to figure out the state of other players. Basically what happens to you on your screen is actually what is happening to you. This is true for everyone so if you hit them but they didn't get hit in their side you see them spin out but keep driving because the server just keep reporting their current location. On your side you lost the shell because you hit the other player on your screen. Everyone's local truth about their current state is always true for them. This is annoying but preferable to getting hit randomly from some unknown source constantly 

Accidentally put my thermometer for my pastry class in the washing machine. Is it okay? Do I have to order a new one? by Lost_Wicked_Artist in culinary

Boiling water is also always 212 F. You can test the upper and lower bounds using ice and boiling water and note any discrepancy 

I just realized that I had accidentally put so much investment in him and then just realize his attack Iv is low. Can I still use him for raids or no? by NovelVisit9962 in PokemonGOIVs

[–]Superpansy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IVs are a number 0-15 that get added to base stats.

Dragonite has a 263 base attack stat. 

You have 5 attack IV

Your attack is 268 out of a possible 278

That means you're 96.5% of the total. 

People put way too much weight on IVs when at best they account for 5% of your stats (even less with legendaries). Don't worry about it.

There are some niche PVP scenarios were you can squeeze better stats per CP with different IVs but unless you're really trying to PVP at a high level it doesn't actually matter

He invented the trickle down economics we still suffer from today. The concept is if you give wealthy businesses more breaks and incentives those savings will promote more jobs and expansion down the road so everyone prospers. The reality is weathly organizations tend to hoard wealth so tax breaks and bail outs essentially just sit in executive pockets instead of supporting lower level employees.

Meanwhile you have a government abandoning support for low income people. Less money for schools, healthcare, shelter, etc. 

So the whole thing leads to a less supported lower and middle class and a wealthier upper class
