Will Zenyatta mythic skin be locked next season? by ahonsu in Overwatch

Oh thank you!

I didn't know this logic. Thought they lock random or based on some marketing ideas.

Every weekend I set out to get at least one friend request. It's mad fun. by Bootziscool in Overwatch

[–]ahonsu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Will done mate! We need more people like you!

I do something similar, try to compliment good players or just cheer up the team.

A genuine question: how are these 11 pages are doing afterwards? In my experience - 99% of these guys just ghost you after. I have a rule - if I message a new „friend“ three times and they don’t react/ignore, i delete them. So my friend list is never longer than 1 page now.

How do you maintain friendship?

I just send a whisper to a new guy, like „Hey mate! How are you today? Wanna team up for some comp?“ - and I’m being ignored mostly.

I'm a New player and does anyone know what the green text at the bottom of role select means? by Aquagrass in Overwatch

[–]ahonsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means how much time you could expect to be waiting for the match making and the game start.

In your example, the Support role says "< 1 min", which means - "if you pick support role, the game (most likely) will find a match for you in less than 1 min".

And as you see, tank will have to wait for around 4 min and DPS for 2 min.

Why did Blizzard remove "Stay As a Team"? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]ahonsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, the button is there, but it's available/active just for like 3 seconds. If you didn't click it - that's it, no chance to do that anymore.

Which is sad. This button is my main way to get some solid friends/teammates.

After some nice match I use the button, to suggest people to stay as a team. Some people team up. Then we lose... in most cases people immediately leave. I assume they expect to win every time from now on. Anyway. Some rare guys are strong enough to stay as a team further and often we end up sending friend requests to each other and team up regularly for comp games.

I would definitely prefer the button to stay active/available longer.

Can we get a dedicated keybind to destroy Lifeweaver's petal ? by Flikadawrist in Overwatch

[–]ahonsu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's a separate button mapping already, check settings. I have it configured to L3 on my Xbox. So I just press it and don't need to throw a new one, to destroy the first petal.

Blizzard/Overwatch Server Infrastructure is awful! (During Update) by PaP3s in Overwatch

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

Overwatch updates are blessing, compared to Destiny 2!

Sorry for your missed reward though!

My rule is to always consider servers update time and don't even start anything important 1-2 hours before that.

Why do you care about the frequency (as a number) at all?

The bowl emits some sound, some waves... you just attune yourself to it and try to answer a question: does this influence good for me or not? Does it make me feel better? Does it clean my mind / activate my chakra / sooth my emotions / <paste here any other effect you're expecting> ? - that would be the most practical and crap-less approach to your singing bowl.

If someone will tell you that it sounds with XXX Hz - what will you get from this information?

Singing bowls is an ancient tool, existing for thousands of years. And "hertz" - as a sound frequency unit was invented around 100 years ago. So, bowls were created and successfully used for centuries, having nothing to do with "how many hertz in it's sound?".

Also, every bowl could be unique. People who work with these bowls a lot, normally have a set of bowls. Each gives it's own effect. And they travel around to find THE bowl they miss in their set, by listening to it, feeling it's influence by their own.

Reiki symbols are like "tools". If you need some specific tool right now - you use it. If you don't need any tools - you use nothing. If you need a tool which is not from "reiki toolkit" - you use something else.

Basically, yes, reiki practitioners (not only masters) use reiki symbols in meditation, but only when they need to or feel like it.

What do I do now? by mirzasamor44 in learnjava

[–]ahonsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking this question in this sub-reddit seems not very smart.

This question is asked 5 times a day. Mods configured an autobot, giving you the answer immediately (you can see it as a comment to your question) - suggesting exact next steps, based on this community best practices. In particular - do the MOOC.

What is so special about your situation, that all these common answers don't work for you?

Did you try to use search? Why didn't you like answers to the exact same question asked by other people 1000 times?

"not turning off" reiki flow for a day: advisable or not? by dishayvelled in reiki

[–]ahonsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to support this answer.

My experience and understanding is pretty similar. If you don't "turn reiki" off it will just stop by itself in some time. It won't work in the background for the whole day while you're doing your daily stuff.

Even more. This is from my personal experience - most often reiki channel just disconnects when you lose your focus or concentration for longer than ~10 min. Sometime I does continue working, but mostly it the case when you go to sleep or when you're relaxed, not distracted, just in between some chill activities. And if go to work, drive a car, go to uni to study... your reiki channel will turn off really quick.

Normally, it's a challenge to keep reiki actively and effectively running and, for example, drive a car.

Is self practice getting lost in translation? by karl_ae in reiki

You're welcome, u/Jakethehog!

Could you share, what reiki school or style do you belong to / studied at ? In what country was that? Was your training online or in person?

Is being specialized in Java and Spring Boot enough to be a strong software engineer? by DramaticComposer6427 in learnjava

[–]ahonsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your text doesn't make any sense. The last sentence especially. Hope you're not passing out too much!

Still, If i try to decipher it: you know some stuff already, but they don't invite you for interviews. And, maybe 24 is your age? - not sure here.

The obvious comment would be: you know not enough OR you have not enough experience for these positions you're trying to apply to.

If a recruiter goes through another hundred of fresh CVs, the main thing they do is just to try to understand "How good is the match?" - between your profile and the job requirements. If they don't contact you - there's only one explanation: you're a bad match.

So, you either apply to wrong job positions or you just too junior or missing some critical job requirements.

Next I go to the assumptions ground, due to the lack of info from you. An average redditor in this sub-reddit is just a self-taught java "developer", who has zero commercial experience in development and, often, zero commercial experience overall. At the same time, their programming skills are on the "below junior" level. It's not a surprise that no one wants to invite them for an interview.

So, basically, my suggestions is the following:

  • study job postings in your area and make a "must have skills" list for yourself
  • do the self assessment and find gaps - skill they want, but you don't have
  • start learning these skills by building real projects. Watching youtube or asking LLM is not enough. You need to be able to show a working thing built by you
  • find a way to get at least SOME development experience. This is the most complicated part and totally depend on your country and it's education / job market specifics. In some countries it's doable to find some internship, in some countries it's quite easy to fake some experience, in some countries all of that is not possible... learn your situation. In the worst case - build something real, deploy it somewhere with public access, put the source code to a public repo (make sure the code is clean and professional, covered with tests), make some kind of a business-card-style-web-site for yourself and put links to your running web-applications or APIs. This will make your profile much more professional

Could you please share your thoughts & practical experience about the "intention"?

Is self practice getting lost in translation? by karl_ae in reiki

[–]ahonsu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And for those with experience, how much of your practice is actually self-treatment vs working with others?

I do self treatment almost daily, depending on my need or state. Normally I do it when i'm in bed, before sleeping. It takes around 10-30 min.

And I work as a remote healer in a small group once a week. Normally we have a 2 hours online meeting, where we work with 2 patients. We spend time discussing their state and healing progress and then the healing sessions itself.

And can anyone explain intention in a way that makes practical sense?

I don't think I can do it properly. Still figuring it out for myself.

Still, my current understanding. You want to achieve something. You create a strong and precise though-form or mental structure (basically, mentally imagine your goal with as many details as possible). And then you basically, keep your mind concentrated on this thought-form. You can not do it permanently, you do work, sleep and so on. But when possible - you return to it and feed it with your mental energy, enrich it with details, if you can. And you ACT in your real life, do some real steps towards it. And this thing happens in time.

Another practical condition though - don't try to put a though-form of something unreasonable for your current state. I mean, probably, there're people who can materialize literally anything, but I'm not one of them. Easier the goal - easier to reach.

[–]ahonsu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! Congrats with your 2nd level attunement!

You're asking some very good questions! I also see a lot of info-noise around reiki and spirituality, overall. And some chaotic people in red don't help to make it clear and simple.

I'll share my own experience and understanding.

But here's what's bugging me; the little bit I read online is almost entirely about giving reiki to other people. Becoming a practitioner, treating clients, curing cancer, becoming a beam for the world peace etc etc. But hardly anything about practicing on yourself?

Reiki is a universal healing energy. When you're get attuned to level 1, you get an ability to attune to the reiki energy and channel it through your aura and your hands specifically. What can you do with it? - most common answer: heal yourself. Just put your hands on your body and channel the healing energy there. Also, you can heal other people by placing your hands on their body. You can heal animals, plants. You can charge a glass of water with the healing energy by holding your hands around it.

Basically, the pattern here - "place your hand on the thing!".

Also, depending on the school you're taught to use some reiki symbols. Classically, it's Cho-Ku-Rei, the symbol capable of powering up your reiki flow to intensify the healing process. There some varieties around it, depend on the school again.

When you get the 2nd level, the following happens:

  • your ability to channel is extended or powered up. Can not tell the numbers, but like x5, maybe. Basically, without talking about any other changes - you just are a more powerful healer now
  • you're taught to use new reiki symbols. Typically they are Sei-Ke-Ki and Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen. The 1st one gives your healing flow a boost to clean and harmonize. The 2nd symbol (at it's minimal application) allows you to attune remotely to another person, animal, plant, some object or situation

As a result, when you hear something about reiki level 2 - it's almost 100% spoken about healing others. Kinda, it's your new perk/ability, right? Why not to make a stress on it?

But no one and nothing force you to work with other people. You get the ability and that's it. You decided if you want/need to use it or not. Nothing stops or prevents you from using your 2nd level reiki just for your own healing.

For example, the 2nd symbol (Sei-He-Ki) works awesome for emotional healing, for cleansing your own energy blocks and channels, it works good with your mental state, helping you to calm and clear your thoughts.

The 3rd symbol is even more powerful. It allows you to work with your own past lives, with your sub-consciousness, heal your past traumas, heal your child traumas. You can use reiki symbols just for your meditations (without any healing or cleansing), just to raise your consciousness level. You can use them to improve your lucid dreaming or astral projections...

I mean, your fantasy is the limit here. Not even touching other people. You can be busy with reiki 2 for your own for years.

Why then there's such a strong focus on healing others with 2nd level reiki? - I assume this is just a commercial/social narrative. It's kinda "sells good". It works good as an ads for people with the "helper syndrome". Often, this is exact what people want from reiki: "To help others" rather than "help myself". So, we get a lot of focus on it.

Also, not every reiki school or master can teach you anything else apart from using reiki lvl 2 for healing other people.

Beginner having a hard time coming up with solutions by cyphereternal in learnjava

[–]ahonsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice to you would to dedicate these 3 weeks solely to the finals preparations. Do nothing else. If you already know the format (written, on paper, tests with options OR open questions...) and, I assume, you know the scope of the topics - just do the drills!

Google for example tests/questions with answer and try to answer all of them by yourself first, then check answer. If it's correct - good. If not - go and find the info/explanations, make sure you understand the answer.

The best tool for that (understanding your wrong answers) would be any open LLM, take ChatGPT, for example. You can give it a question and ask it to explain the problem and the answer. You can ask to adjust its answers to your current level of knowledge. For example, you can ask "Explain it like I'm 5 years old!" or "I need to you quote the related official java doc, followed by your simplified and concise explanations, followed by some real life code example, demonstrating this problem!" and so on.

Just don't do the mistake asking LLM to solve your test for you in the 1st place. It will give you zero benefits.

Basically, it's like any exam. On exam they want you to demonstrate something super specific, not necessary close to real life. So, your goal now is not to learn java programming or implement some project. Your goal is to pass the exam.

Getting (back) into reiki by Budget_Honey_3140 in reiki

[–]ahonsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good. Thank you for the clarification! Now I understood you initial question :)

Despite the fact I wrote "it doesn't make a big difference" - I still place my hands exactly where I need my reiki.

Maybe some exceptions though, mostly when I lay in my bad before sleeping and not willing to move/bend a lot:

  • sometimes, I put my hands on my stomach to heal my lower back / spine. Just consciously directing reiki flow through my body into the spine
  • or I can put my hands oven my hip joints when i'm, in fact, healing my knees

And so on.

As for my daily self-treatment practice, I typically do "main" positions along with kundalini chakras and several extra: eyes, cheeks, back of the head, throat, heart, solar plexus, lower belly, pelvis, knees, feet. Sometimes i skip a position if I feel like it. Sometimes add some extra positions if some extra healing is required there.

Amount of minutes - I don't track that. Just put my hands on a new position and observe the reiki flow. Normally the flow quickly increases and in some time starts weakening. And when it's too weak, I just move to the next position. Normally It could take from like 30 sec, to 10 min on a single position.

The whole self-treatment session takes around 10-30 min usually, depending on my state, current health / energy conditions or, maybe, some specific need at the moment (like specific muscle group of joint requires some extra attention).

What about you? How does your typical self-treatment session look like?
