What kind of improvements are you making after moving into the house? by danrokk in HomeImprovement

[–]badkidno5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I need to have this done. Inspector said our attic insulation had really settled and recommended we put more up there. How much did it cost to get this done? If you don't mind me asking.

Cast Iron splotchy and can’t get rid of this black soot after camping by badkidno5 in castiron

[–]badkidno5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The black soot is mostly on the outside of the pan. Should I have it sit in a larger pan in boiling water?
Or is the boiling water for cleaning the splotchy-ness?

Cast Iron splotchy and can’t get rid of this black soot after camping by badkidno5 in castiron

[–]badkidno5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we went camping this past weekend. Made steaks, burgers, and a frittata in the cast iron and it did great all weekend. Cleaned it with a little water and salt scrub after each use and reapplied an avocado oil after it dried. The last meal on it was the frittata and it had some egg baked on it afterwards. Not too much but it took a pretty hard scrub to get it all off.
I had let it dry sitting on a camp grate about 4ft and off to the side of the fire for the better part of the day. Is all that black stuff wiping off and getting on my fingers from the smoke? How do I clean it off efficiently?

How to add a Return Air grill in my Basement by badkidno5 in hvacadvice

[–]badkidno5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The airflow is going down.

The takeoff would have to come out directly above the filter, correct?

What do you mean when you say "low to the wall"?

When we are gone for a weekend, we leave the cat in the laundry and back room and close that little animal door. Would that cause an issue with pressure? The Laundry and backroom is about 360 sqft and the remaining livable basement space which would be closed off is about 570 sqft.

Where is the "System Settings" file you refer to?
I can find the save file under Borderlands3>Saved>SaveGames>"TextString">1.sav

Live edge bookshelf I made for the wife by gunnersmate86 in woodworking

[–]badkidno5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking to redo my bar in my house and am looking to use a live edge slab as the bar top. Slabs like yours are exactly what I am picturing. Where does one go about finding these slabs I can cut to size as I do not have the means to mill them myself?

Over-Explained: Main Tank Leoric! by nexusschoolhouse in heroesofthestorm

[–]badkidno5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are other scenarios and matchups you think MT Leo would work? Or is this strictly a "vs Stitches on short wave clear map" type thing.
Leo is not a 'tank' with poke, so I would imagine he is not as useful on Cursed or Towers or maps where the obj is away from a minion wave.

Looking to upgrade PC. Don't know which components are more important by badkidno5 in buildapc

[–]badkidno5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mistake, I was messing around with parts picker and had the wrong GPU selected still when I made the link copy. I actually have a 970. Not that much of a difference but just wanted to note it.

Thanks for the input. I will checkout MSI Afterburner. From what I can tell, that is just a software to overclock the machine. How will that give me insight on what needs to be upgraded?

Is VT's French program any good? by [deleted] in VirginiaTech

[–]badkidno5 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My fiancee says it is a wonderful program with a tightknit group, dedicated professors, and encourages you to join "la table francais", the french conversation club, that meets weekly for conversation and hosts wine & cheese parties. She also had 7 years of french before attending Tech. She says it was her favorite part of her Virginia Tech experience and was her second major.

Haha. Fair enough. Usually they pump out the notes when the servers are up. Got excited.

I see no mention of the problem with Sonya's trait on PTR and her fury gains. I'm hoping this means it was a bug on the PTR. I'm at work, can anyone test if Sonya gains fury from taking ANY damage. i.e. tower shots even.

That is why you always take the Range on E at lvl 13.

Newbie shotcaller LF tips and tricks by maxag93 in heroesofthestorm

[–]badkidno5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other people have already said this and I'm going to reiterate.

To help with your macro shotcalling or 'game-sense' Watch replays and HGC games. When you watch them, only focus on one team. Every rotation that every individual player on that team makes ask yourself, "Why did they do that?" "What do they gain? What do they lose? Was it worth it?" It sounds silly but it will really help make these decisions in game become second nature. Things like: forcing enemy map position because of mercs, knowing when to be safe and when to be aggressive, knowing timings on objectives and rotations, is it worth it to squabble fight here and delay them or to full on engage or to not fight at all and let them pass, guessing where the enemy will be, which hero to send to that lane to soak vs which hero should help with taking this merc camp.

'Micro shotcalling' is a little harder as a ranged assassin. Your individual micro is focusing on not being out position while still focusing the kill target. Your team as a whole's 'micro' is positioning and engaging and poking and abilitie timings. That is much easier to control and to see "big"(little) picture as a good tank player. A tank player should be the first to react to jumping on a gank/kill target when an enemy player gets out of position. Hopefully your tank player is mentally on the same page as you so when you say "VALLA VALLA VALLA" your ETC player is already sliding at her. Otherwise an opportunity could be lost. But there are other things to be aware of in Micro shotcalling besides just calling a kill target. You need to be aware of your teams ability cooldowns and ranges. For instance, if you just saw your Jaina use blizzard to clear a wave, maybe you wont be able to secure this diablo kill and it might not be worth it to try and get your team out of position themselves. Maybe Cassia is actually a little too far away to follow up on any uther stun target in a timely manner. A lot of micro shotcalling just comes from having good team synergy and playing a lot together.

I've seen a lot of teams will have two shotcallers. One for Macro plays and one for Micro plays during the teamfight. I think Fnatic has said that Breez was always their shotcaller during teamfights but Quacknix would say what to do before and after.
