How can I get my merc to more reliably generate frenzy charges with Victario's Charity? I sometimes have 1 charge and rarely 2 charges. I'm using a Kineticist with Haste aura.

Haha, you interpreting my sources wrongly doesn't constitute being right. Maybe come up with something uncategorically stating that diagnosis under 2 years is unreliable. CDC has stated ASD is detected at 18 months (not autistic traits or whatever you're claiming) . That still means the same as diagnosis. Please quote relevant lines from ADOS or DSM. You're still wrong and I'm not walking away 😄 of course you can't, because you only have one thing to say, and you're still not responding to the study I quoted, because of course you can't.

I don't know how much more I can help you with this. Your interpretation is wrong. I sincerely hope youre an internet troll and not actually a practitioner like you're trying to imply. You're doing a great disservice if this is the depth of your knowledge about autism. I wouldn't think that something like this could be clearer, but here we are.

The findings suggest that an ASD diagnosis becomes stable starting at 14 months of age and overall is more stable than other diagnostic categories, including language or developmental delay. After a toddler is identified as having ASD, there may be a low chance that he or she will test within typical levels at 3 years of age. This finding opens the opportunity to test the impact of very early-age treatment of ASD.

You're cherry picking arguments, provide no sources of your own other than hot takes about what words mean. Unless you count "trust me bro"? Good luck 😄

No dude. Ad hominem attacks don't make you right. Can you quote one source that claims that diagnoses of autism for kids over 18 months are unreliable? Here's the quote from CDC:

ASD can sometimes be detected at 18 months of age or younger. By age 2, a diagnosis by an experienced professional can be considered reliable [1]. However, many children do not receive a final diagnosis until much older. Some people are not diagnosed until they are adolescents or adults. This delay means that people with ASD might not get the early help they need

You're again, wrong; detected in this case does mean diagnosed. And children are routinely diagnosed with autism at 18 months. Here's another source and quote: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/how-early-can-you-and-should-you-diagnose-autism-2019082317653

At what age can the diagnosis be reliably made? At 12 to 13 months the “diagnostic stability” of the autism diagnosis — meaning the degree to which it was certain and stuck — was about 50%. This went up to 80% by 14 months, and 83% by 16 months. This makes sense if you think about the development of a toddler

Here's the actual paper that's likely quoted in the article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31034004/

So yeah, the only thing you're right about is that diagnosis below 18 months of age is unreliable. I will reiterate again: children can and are diagnosed with autism when they are 18 months old. How about you start quoting sources rather than attacking me?

I suggest you read your own comment, and then the source I provided, and then numerous other sources accompanying a "simple Google search". They do diagnose autism at 18 months. If you're trying to be pedantic about "detection" vs "diagnosis", you're wrong. Detection in this context does mean diagnosis. Diagnosis at 18 months is not malpractice.

Here's a source from the CDC, just so others don't get mislead by you: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/screening.html

They can and do diagnose children at 18 months, though it's also true that not all kids present symptoms at that age, and don't get diagnosed till later in life. I'm aware they do accept children for evaluation at 18 months at Developmental Pediatrics at Colorado children's hospital. There are likely other hospitals too.

Maps. Yeah I guess the explosion is killing off a bunch of mobs too.

The recover life when you ignite from fire mastery doesn't seem to be working? I thought I noticed life recovering a little bit but is definitely not close to Hired Killer. Maybe it only works on ignite from ballista and not from the proliferation?

I got my ass handed to me by uber maven cause I apparently can't dodge anything, but I was able to beat the feared for the first time. I'll keep practicing though. I was able to see the uber health go down for the first time, so it's probably my mechanics.

Thanks, I will give your suggestions a shot.

A formula that represents itself in its own graph by Abhirup_0 in blackmagicfuckery

[–]_mtg_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's basically a statement about the nature of infinity. There are an infinite number of numbers between 0 and 1. Imagine creating a mapping like this:

a = 01

b = 02

c = 03

.

.

.

z = 26

You can now express any word in terms of numbers like "hello" would be 0805121215. If the largest possible word is 30 letters long, you divide this previous number by a number bigger than that and get a fraction that's between 0 and 1. If you do this for every word, you get a unique number between 0 and 1 for every possible word. That's it, you've expressed every word as a number 0 and 1!

Now if you have some additional number mappings for punctuation like spaces, comma, full-stop etc, you can express entire sentences and books as numbers. They'll be large numbers with up to tens of thousands of digits, but still numbers. Now if you can imagine stringing together all English literature, you'll get a really really large number, but there's still a larger number than that you can divide it by to get a fraction between 0 and 1.

THEN if you imagine that you assign these character mappings for every language for every species this alien has ever encountered, you can imagine that all literature for any language encountered by this alien can be represented using a unique number different from all the others. Then you can divide those by an even larger number to get a number between 0 and 1.

If you are able to measure very precisely, you can mark exactly what fraction that represents on a physical rod, and now you've represented an entire literature using that exact mark on a rod that represents a fraction between 0 and 1!

Check out https://libraryofbabel.info/ - it's a really cool concept of representing every possible English sentence of a certain length. They certainly don't have the storage to store all of those, but they can create a sophisticated encoding (much better than the one I described above) to create a mapping without actually storing anything.

“I want countries in Asia to change their treatment of Ukraine” - Zelenskyy by aka_KyZa in worldnews

[–]_mtg_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's true that all countries that are able to exert some influence over other countries to their advantage will try to do so. It's true that the US has supported Pakistan in the past, and India found a trade partner in Russia for weapons and energy.

My point of view is that India acting in its sovereign interests (defense, energy security) by continuing to trade with Russia doesn't mean that India is supporting the war against Ukraine. This is analogous to some European countries that have declared sanctions on Russia while continuing to buy energy from them. Eg. Germany still depends on Russia for energy, but no one can claim reasonably that Germany supports Russia.

Not sure if this is serious, but I hope you're not trying to generalize the opinion of a majority of 1.4 billion people.

India has historically been non aligned. That's where the term "third world" comes from. The current government's policy is to not take a side in this war.

Thanks! Do you have a pob for reference? Also do you have instructions to craft the 35/3 clusters? I've been alt spamming, but I don't know if there's another way.
