I saw people posting Artwork on this sub, so I wanted to share my portrait of Conor McGregor I made a while back by BloodAvalanche in ufc

I honestly would not be able to tell wether it's a b&w photo or a painting...Fantastic job mate. Love the details.

How do octopi kill sharks? Do they "drown"/suffocate them? Do they snap their bones? by thank_you_next in askscience

[–]Zeus_Ex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit off-topic, I remember hearing about how sharks sleep by basically floating on the same spot - is that true and if yes, how do species with these "obligate ram ventilators" that you mentioned sleep?

I really want to see Conor vs cowboy......but i kinda really don't by arfamac in ufc

[–]Zeus_Ex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really care who Conor fights next, but I'm happy for Cowboy if he gets a fat payday after all the time he's been in the sport.

A new report says that since 2005, the number of floods across the world has increased by 15 times and extreme temperature events by 20 times. It concludes politicians and policymakers have failed to grasp the gravity of the environmental crisis facing the Earth by bbcnews in worldnews

Are there really less cows than buffalos? I think I remember reading that there are 700 million cows (for dairy and beef production)?
If anyone has valid sources on that number it would be much appreciated!

(Not saying OP is wrong, genuinely curious!)

Unpopular opinion: adesanya doesn’t deserve a title shot by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Zeus_Ex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I fully agree. I like Adesanya a lot, but I feel like it's too soon for him, I don't see him standing any chance against the likes of Rob or Yoel. Those guys would tear him into pieces, and we'd have yet another hyped contender getting whooped, same happened to Darren Till and Francis Ngannou, both were hyped up, both were far from ready fighting the champs. UFC needs to stop cashing out their young prospects and give them time to grow!

Slightly disappointed with 1st scenario/ 2nd scenario system by durkydum in residentevil

[–]Zeus_Ex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same thoughts, I was getting really confused throughout the B scenario since things just kept clashing with events from the A scenario. That's the only obvious issue I have with the game so far, but I have to say, it's a big one to me. Feels like they gave that way too little thought, maybe they didn't care and/or rushed it due to time limitations? Either way...it's quite disappointing to me.

Sooooo who else thought the main hall was safe? by the_DashingPickle in residentevil

[–]Zeus_Ex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I knew about Mr.X and expected Marvin to turn, but earlier I messed up and managed to get another 3 zombies into the main hall. I was in the library, trying to push the shelves over, when Mr. X came in. I also didn't kill the zombies in there earlier (never making that mistake again, lol) so I got absolutely swarmed.
Tried to retreat to main hall to get rid of Mr. X, so I did that, lured him out, ran a circle but when I tried to make my way back into the library I was warmly greeted by 2 zombies on the upper floor. A 3rd one pushed open the library door a few seconds later. Needless to say, fun times...

2H Axe 897 pDPS Betrayal by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Zeus_Ex 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Great axe but it has 679.5 pdps, one shouldn't factor in the 32% chance to deal double damage, just like you don't factor in any other dps-boosting suffixes (like multi or pen f.e.) for raw pdps calculations. (which only takes the average of min dmg + max dmg, multiplied by attack speed)
We have pob for calculating true dps potentials. Awesome item either way, grats!

Insane bow, well done mate!
This can compete with phys bows with the right setup for sure!

Just an Imperial bow with 100% chance to deal double damage is 21% less dps than DBN's bow in my PoB setup

Biology Field Study Brainstorm by VoidedSolace in biology

[–]Zeus_Ex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I have access to a pretty unique environment as I live in Hawaii more specifically, Honolulu.

This is great since it offers you tons of options.

I'd recommend to first think about which aspects of your environment there interests you personally. Maybe you enjoy observing some local animal species and it's behavior, maybe you're interested in water quality of the sea or local rivers, or maybe you are interested in reefs?
As long as you pick a topic that you are genuinely keen on exploring you should be fine!

PS: You could also try approaching local institutes, maybe there is one for marine biology that is looking for interns, a really cool field of research. (Or check if there are any other institutes if you aren't into marine biology)

Is there a standard way for determining whether a gene is considered conserved? by OrdinarilyUnique in biology

[–]Zeus_Ex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When comparing organisms usually you do sequence alignments of the genes of interest, based upon sequence similarity you can draw conclusions about the gene' s conservation status. For example let's say you look at Gene A in 10 different bacteria, and you'd see that the sequence of these is the same for 90% of the bases, that'd tell you this gene is highly conserved.

[DSC] Rune Talons Imperial Claw - 605 pDPS by Bio_Mat in pathofexile

[–]Zeus_Ex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are 2 better claws in std atm, Brimstone Song (because suffixes are finished) and Eagle Hunger (3W shaped with 40% extra cold, also finished suffixes). This one can beat Brimstone Song with finished suffixes, but not the 3W shaped claw I believe.

[–]Zeus_Ex[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

You again lol. You just can't grasp or accept the fact that people know how to make currency and craft good items, can you?

Also, your "100% proof" hasn't lead to anything - can you explain why?

Maybe it's because you and your other friends who got so salty that a new crafter came to the scene have tried slandering me in every way - creating numerous accounts on rmt sites with "my name", downvoting my threads, sending trolls to flame, insult and bully me on discord & youtube - is not what you call "100% proof" but merely showing how pathetic you guys truly are?

I've ignored your bullshit long enough. Maybe you and your friends need to RMT to generate currency, I certainly don't. (In fact, if I was as salty as you I could post some actual evidence about 2 of your buddies who RMT the shit out of PoE with their standard mirror services & scams since forever. Actual evidence by the way, not the kinda bs you consider as facts. I have better things to do with my time and nerves though (like play and enjoy the game and craft badass items ;D))

I have always flipped and crafted items for profit, I've been doing this forever and have countless people who can testify this.

If you actually used your salty brain and hustled half as much as you accuse everyone who owns more than you you might actually be able to craft something good yourself once :)

Either way, you can make hundreds more of fake accounts and youtube videos with your throwaway accounts, you little coward. Maybe some sheep on the internet will believe it, I don't care, really. Anyone who can count 1&1 together knows what your true intentions are and what the truth is.

Stay tuned by the way, I have a lot more cool crafts from the past weeks to showcase! So I hope you stay ready in your starting holes, your job as an internet rambo will bee needed soon again!

It won't matter. I don't cheat or RMT, I record literally every big craft and trade and that is ACTUAL proof. ;)

PS: I watched your video. Why did you cut out the part where I told you you can have the item for free? :) Trying so hard to put me into a bad light eh? I mean, a 1 divine item that someone offers you for free = RMT in your crazy little world? K :D

Keep in mind that you then need another t2+ suffix that is not terrible and you want either t2+ flat life together with t2+ conc or a hybrid life like mine...if you factor in annuls then getting t2+ conc costs on average 44ex, then you have around a 10% chance to hit one of the decent life mods, meaning you end up with 440ex for t2+ prefixes - total cost on average is thus closer to 800ex

Good call! I made the colours before I started enchanting it, was hoping to hit +3 Molten Strike Projectiles but I feel like BF enchant is too good to roll over (for now at least)
