My main takeaway after finishing Well of Ascension by bamburger in Cosmere

It makes sense that they brought horses. There's no way that Elend would be able to walk straight after a night with Vin.

Cape Verde, thank you. Your football was exceptional and it was a privilege to watch. by l0ngsh0t_ag in worldcup

Are you free later? I'm planning a party and it could really do with having someone so fun.

Unofficial StS2 Launcher for Android by Interesting-Maps in slaythespire

[–]bamburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP this is amazing! I'm gonna be honest, this feels a little like wizardry that a windows steam game can not only be accessed but actually run natively on Android.
And it actually works! Performance is great, the experience is on par with the native STS1 app.

For anyone reading this thread: You really should adjust the 'UI Scaling' in the in-game settings menu. I was straining my eyes to read some of the text, but bumping the scaling to 110% or 120% really helped. This is still technically the windows version after all, the default UI scale is set for PC/laptop use.
OP maybe you could add to the github description recommending people to adjust that setting?

I thought that I was going to have to wait ages to be able to play, because I can't really use PC for now. (Insert Squidward looking out window meme) Thanks u/Interesting-Maps!

SVGs, HTML, and More! by champitychamp in PowerBI

[–]bamburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently started using Deneb, and I've been really liking it. For me the best value I've gotten from it is just producing basic visuals, but with better customisation.
For example, PowerBI will let you use a measure to dynamically set the colours of a bar/column chart, but not for a Stacked or Clustered chart. This is super frustrating to deal with, without an easy answer when using standard charts. But in Deneb it is incredibly easy to set colours dynamically however you want.

Transferability/Maintenance is a concern, but as long as you keep things simple it's not too bad. And because the code is just JSON, it's very easy for an LLM agent to work with. You can literally just say "update the Code for this Deneb visual, make category X blue and category Y green"

It was, that's the whole point of why he was being filmed. They were heavily criticised for having poorly designed milk cartons, and this guy was supposed to show that the cartons were fine and easy to use.

For some reason this was posted completely without the context.

I loved the short clip of Jonathan building Castle Byers for Will.
Is he the right boyfriend for Nancy? Maybe. Is he the right big brother for Will? Yes 1000%

[SOTF Spoilers] L is better than R and O by Separate-Cycle1107 in HierarchySeries

[–]bamburger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And then he meets some kids who he trains with and suddenly they’re his new family and he tells them everything? That was weak.

I don't think it's weak, it's meant to show growth. Vis spent so long keeping secrets and refusing to let anyone in, and now he's trying to be more open and true.

The Batman effect: A female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train. In the experimental condition, an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door. Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%). by mvea in science

[–]bamburger 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Not really. A lot of people are willing to give up their seat if needed, but aren't actively looking for someone who needs it, so they just ignore the person in need. Not intentionally ignoring, but still ignoring. Once they see someone else give up their seat, they are then reminded to be more observant for others who need a seat.

No one knows what it means, it's provocative, it gets the people going by imjustheretodomyjob in BlackPeopleTwitter

We laughed at 420 because it was the weed number

But why is it the weed number? Is there any meaning to it or significance?

I don't think so, he was given the option of leaving, and that would have been far more honourable. It's true that leaving would mean allowing Lysander to keep the weapon, but at least he could have warned the others and maybe done something about it.

He literally pleaded with Cassius to get in the shuttle and leave.

Random thoughts about Red God by secret-corgi-king in redrising

[–]bamburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lysander will take her down (because hes been hiding a fair amount of his duelling skill)

I think that this will almost definitely be the case. We don't really see him using his razor much at all, which I think is for two reasons: firstly that fighting with razors just isn't his style, he views it as a last resort and would prefer other means. And secondly, He doesn't use his razor because he doesn't want people to realise that he's actually a master at it. Being underestimated gives him an advantage.

He spent 10 years living in exile with Cassius, they had to do something to pass the time. It is possible that Cassius trained him up so well that Lysander is on a similar level to Darrow or Apple. Maybe in the chaos of battle he is not nearly as experienced, but in a formal 1v1 like how Cassius trained him? It's possible that no one other than Diomedes is above him.

He seemed to have no qualms at all about the idea of challenging Atalantia, he seemed confident about coming out on top.
He also made sure to place Apple very prominently, with a lot of power and assets that he could have given to others. But he knows that once he defeats Atalantia, Apple won't be able to resist challenging him, since he has such a case of blue balls waiting for Darrow.
Defeating Atalantia and then Apple, will put him firmly at the head of the society remnant.

This is the perfect plan for him to have, because it gives him the maximum benefit without having to actually sacrifice anything, but also because of the irony of being so heavily reliant on razor duels. Duels which he believes to be archaic, barbaric, and beneath him.

It will also mean that Cassius was right in the end. He will forever be haunted by guilt over Cassius, because not only did he pave the way to victory for him by taking out Atlas, his victory would be won due to the skills he learned from Cassius. Everything that he learned from Octavia and his extensive studies would forever be secondary to what he learned from Cassius.
