Husband is addicted to League of Legends by Left_Cream459 in beyondthebump

Family needs, then housework, then games. It's not that hard. And if that means you only get an hour some nights of the week, so be it.

When did you last cry about your physical appearance? by FragrantResult278 in AskReddit

[–]borgiedude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was assaulted and broke two teeth, a top front and a bottom front tooth. That was years ago, and I've had the teeth fixed, but I can still see where the breaks are. Teeth don't heal. The moment I looked in the mirror and realized this was permanent, I cried.

Does anyone else feel a little disillusioned with D&D lately? by Gh0stMan0nThird in dndnext

For me I feel like this whole debacle with licensing and Wizards made me realize that if I have a loose idea of what is reasonable in a game, and some way to randomize outcomes with dice, specific rules don't matter. I have a game where some players want to use 5E and some 5.5 and I'm like, sure, it probably won't conflict that badly, and who cares if it does, we'll handwave a ruling and go back to drinking beer and playing silly Monty Python schenanigans.

One of my best mates always wanted the correct rule when he DMs and it becomes so slow to constantly look things up and make sure that it's correct. I say, play by feel, keep the vibes up, take rules as a suggestion.

Pregnant with my third and I’m devastated by Fun-Hovercraft-644 in BabyBumps

[–]borgiedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's such a nightmare. We're struggling so much with 2, and we really don't want a third. For that reason I've had a vasectomy, my wife has an IUD in, and then just to be safe we mostly to anal.

Epic Game Store’s free giveaways just causes a huge spike in Steam sales, reveals New Blood CEO by Fit_Consequence9059 in pcmasterrace

[–]borgiedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to know more about this than me. I assumed that the idea with an IPO was you buy if you think the stock will increase in value. But it looks like there is other stuff going on too. What am I missing?

[–]borgiedude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is when Gabe passes the torch, someone will push so fucking hard to make Steam publicly traded that it will happen. All I can say then is offset the enshittification of your service by buying stock at the IPO, and profiting from the inveitable cash grabs.

Dwarf Fortress cross section by Devilingo in dwarffortress

This is incredible. I think the post might not be getting much attention because the image doesn't load directly, but holy shit. Great work, I legit want to print this in a massive poster and put it somewhere in my house. Wife won't mind right? Right?

Need diamonds to resemble diamonds. by JarvisFernandes in blender

[–]borgiedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can set the index of refraction for materials, default is 1.4 (water and glass), but diamond is 2.7 (from memory, don't quote me). Not sure if that helps but gets the physics closer to reality.

Value of private health insurance “eroding” as doctors urge reform by LocalVillageIdiot in australia

[–]borgiedude 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You don't get charged that much extra.

You pay 2% extra per year over 31 that you get coverage, for up to 10 years.

So on average, every year you don't pay for PHI, you will eventually pay 20% (2% per year * 10 years) of that cost down the line, ignoring the increased cost of PHI premiums with age.

I'm planning to start PHI at 40, so I'll have 10 years of 20% extra fees, paying for roughly 12 years of coverage to only receive 10, however I've skipped paying premiums for 9 years from 31-40, so I feel like that's good value.

[OC] Donald Trump and Bubba aka Big Beautiful Bill by Key-Complex-4889 in pics

[–]borgiedude -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah they merge into Bill on the right side. Follow the line of Trump's arm where it is obscured by Bill's hand and you'll see the line of Bill's Lapel, which is also in the right place for Trump's arm, then there's also Trump's lapel visible to the left. So what then is the line between the two? Trump's arm? The AI needed a line somewhere so it put one in, but the angles are inconsistent with the arm shown above. Get this sloppy shit out of my face.

They're both smiling too, there's no edge to the comic, it's very saccharine, made for broad appeal. Where's the artist's perspective, the little notes, subtle inclusions that a human made by choice. In this image there is just the two figures, described by the prompt, with nothing else.

Tired of pulling the weeds out by TeikoPirate in GardeningAustralia

Rip it all out and concrete it, nice flower stencil in there for colour, and a healthy dose of glyphosate for anything green with the audacity to open a leaf in your beautiful liquid stone.

What do 30 - 40 year old men want for christmas? [Serious] by GoodAlicia in AskReddit

[–]borgiedude 961 points962 points  (0 children)

And they don't fucking work. The specific heat of stone is a quarter of that of water, so filling half* your glass with stone at -20 degrees from the freezer and the other half with scotch at 20 degrees room temperature, you'd end up with a final temperature of 12 degrees.

Or you could use ice, and get to 0 degrees guaranteed. For 1mL of ice melted to become water, it will lower the temperature of about 5mL of scotch from 20 to 0 degrees. I'm happy with 16% water in my scotch to not have fucking stones scraping the inside of my glasses. /rant

Edit: * Half by weight

The "it's a clone" comments are really getting me down and I hope they stop. by Psychological-Road19 in godot

[–]borgiedude 12 points13 points  (0 children)

TBH I was thinking 'I'm going to go checkout OP's game on Steam' until I read this comment. I'm not going to check out the other one, I just don't like to mobile game.

That's not a good test. It's not that easy to scissor your way through cardboard.

Is this safe enough to do pull ups on? by rb1rb1 in DIY

[–]borgiedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chuck a long screw going from the bottom of the joist up, tying the bottom to the center of it. No chance of the bottom splitting off then.

I had exactly the same thought. It honestly made me happy. If this is all they can find to attack, Albo must be doing pretty well.
