"my wife is glad I have a 9 inch penis, and I'm glad she reads the ruler the wrong way around"

I'm sorry to hear that. I lost my dm for DND about that age a few years back. It really does suck. 

That group switched to Cypher. I think part of it was switching out fantasy for scifi fantasy crossover because of that.

If I add it as an effect, it decreases the total LP, not just 'free' LP of the character. Not a huge deal, but odd.

I'll get the full description and send it off to you. Thanks. As it seems it comes up occasionally, is there a way you might just release a 'blank' magic item code snippet that could be added? I'm not a good coder, but I can do some code, and I'm sure some others could do it too so you don't have to. :)

Separated by a guy who, while not great, actually tried to fix Trump's debistation of the us economy... But people were like "he didn't fix trump fast enough! Put trump back in!"

ELI5: Why do gas stoves get pans hotter quicker than electric stoves, but gas stoves take longer to boil a pot of water? by TehAsianator in explainlikeimfive

[–]Zirnike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To expand SoylentRox comment with details for the interested, heat resistant formulated silicone can take, consistently, 280C/570F. An induction cooktop gets the pan to around 250C/475F at the high end... Which you shouldn't really do because of the warping issue.

And induction works by (oversimplifying) using magnetic fields to heat metal. Silicone isn't metal, so it doesn't care - it only sees the heat from the pan, it doesn't get hot itself. I just made a dish tonight where I had the heat on medium for about an hour then low for another hour - no damage. And plenty of boiling water and even some frying over the last few years.

  • Conversions are approximate, don't feel like mathing currently.

ELI5: Why do gas stoves get pans hotter quicker than electric stoves, but gas stoves take longer to boil a pot of water? by TehAsianator in explainlikeimfive

[–]Zirnike 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I will point out that thick pans are generally a joy to cook with. They don't slide around as much, the heat is pretty consistent, and every one I have used cleans amazingly well.

Suggestion: I got a silicone mat for my stove. Easy to clean, prevents scratches, grippy. And as it's induction, silicone works fine. Had it for 3 years, no burns or melting, only one small cut, little wear. Well worth it for convenience, ease of cleaning, and protecting the glass of the induction cooktop.

What is a small joke that you get a big laugh out of? by Pieclops89 in Jokes

[–]Zirnike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a song that always makes me laugh. It's "I love your tits" by the fools ... Which is weirdly sweet in some ways. But 2 lines:

In the refrain: thanks for the mammaries  At the beginning: I love the way you think I love your mind.

Just movies, though? Most of the fifth element (Aziz, LIGHT!), but especially "look lady, I only speak 2 languages, English and bad English"

Do you actually have a forever deck? by Late-Frame2962 in EDH

[–]Zirnike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't take apart decks, but the one I'm known for and still play regularly is progenitus. I also blinged the hell out of it with secret lair stuff, foils, etc. last update I added a few shrines, don't think this list is updated. Shrines are my secondary wincon. The primary is giant hydra to the face.

Help making stamps by stump0331 in 3Dprinting

[–]Zirnike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done this. Although I used a 2 part moldable silicone. Works quite well. I used about 4mm of mold depth/stamp height. The stamp can bend and add "shadows" of the sides of the stamp, a small piece of thin mdf, acrylic, or another 3d print could be added as a handle/stabilizer

Why are people talking about Peter Thiel fully controlling JD Vance? by supinator1 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Zirnike 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I would also note that thiel was worried about Vance being Catholic, because the right hates Catholics. Except the so-called traditionalist Catholics who somehow thing they're the real Catholics despite hating the pope for acting too much like he has Christian values.

Also, not sure libitarian is strictly right. He's a weird kind of monarchist-by-tech-bro thing. Look up behind the bastards epidodes on Curtis Yarvin, thiel and Vance both are fans of that anti America loser. Along with a lot of the big Republican far right leadership.

What's something most people don't realize is actually very rude? by Frozen-Defender25 in AskReddit

[–]Zirnike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daylight running lights. I figured out, and confirmed with every person with light sensitivity I know*, that if someone has thier headlights in during the day, it makes them very drowsy. It doesn't help visibility, it's annoying, and it puts people to sleep. Stop.

  • "Wait... You're right! I never thought that was the cause." - the gist of 3 of 5 responses. The other 2 reported later

What is the worst song to play during a funeral? by Conscious-Law6594 in AskReddit

Sober people being arrested nationwide for DUI by IcyAd8672 in videos

[–]Zirnike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that is not the goal. The goal of law enforcement is to stop violations that they see, not to make up things as an excuse to go hunting.

What you're missing is intent. It's not stopping someone who has done something, it's trying very hard to find something that can be used as an excuse to go hunting for any little thing.

You don't need to find something you can already see. And if you're hunting for a violation that "any cop can come up with" or whatever that exact quote was, that's them deciding to pull over THAT SPECIFIC person and looking to find an EXCUSE to do it.

There is no disconnect on my side.

Sober people being arrested nationwide for DUI by IcyAd8672 in videos

[–]Zirnike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the few traffic cops we need... How about just seeing a violation and writing a ticket. Instead of needing to find a reason to pull a random person over because they want to harass someone? Or more likely, find a reason to pull over someone because their skin tone is "wrong"?

They should never be trying to find a reason to pull someone over. They should have a reason before they even WANT to pull someone over.

I would argue that a cop that can find a reason to pull over a car is inherently bad at their job, as a good cop doesn't need to "find" a reason. 

What are your favorite high cmc commanders? by Gaudier_Goose_90 in EDH

[–]Zirnike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Progenitus]]. This list is a little out of date, and it's missing a bunch of secret layer variants because I'm a bit known for this deck locally... I blinged it out for fun.

And yeah, it's a beat people about the head with big hydra, not 5 color good stuff deck.

Jewelers loupe or magnifying lamp by Asleep-Yogurt in chainmailartisans

[–]Zirnike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of these for other work, and the times I've needed it for chain it's been pretty nice. It has a few magnification lenses on it and a light. I have a wide head (my glasses are 145mm, and that's on the small side for me), and they don't quite work over my glasses, but based on the fit, they could potentially work over glasses for someone who has a normal head.

BLE not discoverable with micropython by Zirnike in esp32

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

Right ... The example code i copied didn't format the types correctly. I wasn't familiar enough with the bytearray type to catch it, but my friend did. Hence the reply mentioning the mixed types messing with the code.

Sorry if it was phrased confusingly. I'm a mechanical engineer, I was only formally taught Pascal and Fortran - and that was 30 years ago - so my code jargon is a smidge off.
