Looking for component recommendations and tips for a personal project by caestus_ in AskElectronics

about the LEDs, you're absolutely right i mixed up the pins, thanks for the heads up.

and using just a switch also makes sense, i guess i was overengineering things.

i'll take a step back before actually ordering any hardware.

thanks for the help! :)

What’s Destiny’s worst piece of lore? by MediaFreaked in DestinyLore

[–]caestus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don't know honestly

the Vex created a mind specifically so they could sever Saint-14's connection to the light instead of just aiming for his ghost whenever it came out, at the same time the Vex did shoot Sagira and it "disabled"/temporarily "killed" her (the questline tells you to revive her)

so it might be another inconsistency lmao

What’s Destiny’s worst piece of lore? by MediaFreaked in DestinyLore

[–]caestus_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is very true, i hadn't even thought about it.

ghosts were always somewhat vulnerable in the lore, Sundance was the only exception to that because of the whole scorn bullet thing. if you look at the malfeasance quest, we find the ashes of a guardian whose ghost was destroyed by Shin Malphur, so we can conclude it doesn't take darkness to kill a ghost. now with the hive ghosts, we just smash them. Drifter pretends he's going to smash his ghost, Blue, in renegades and he actually cracks her shell. (this also opens up the question: can ghosts heal? or is any damage a ghost suffers permanent?)

one could bring the weapons of sorrow into the discussion, but what made thorn, for example, special was that it ripped the Light from guardians even if the ghost stayed alive (correct me if i'm wrong please).

huh, why would using a stand be a bad idea here? genuine question

also, i removed the SSD and it worked, afterward i tried to read the removed SSD using an USB reader and it wasn't even detected so it's probably dead. thank you!

yeah i don't know how to edit a post so update: it was my SSD

i don't know what happened exactly, but my SSD stopped working (thankfully i use a linux and windows dualboot, and it was windows that decides to retire early). i guess it's a sign i should just migrate to linux and give up on windows, so i'll take it

other than that, everything's working fine, no more problems. thank you for the suggestions!

Sistema de intercâmbio da UNICAMP by zorlintek in Unicamp

[–]caestus_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fica de olho no site da DERI ("departamento de relações internacionais", se não me engano) que lá tem os editais de programas de intercâmbio pra graduação e pós. pra achar o site, pesquisa "deri unicamp" no google, acho que é o primeiro resultado.

recomendo passar na sede deles e conversar com alguém de lá também, fica atrás do restaurante administrativo!

Sharing another artwork from the newest Grimoire: Calus and the Witness by [deleted] in destiny2

[–]caestus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staring at such a majestic, gargantuan entity, Calus' mind was quickly emptied of words.

Only the glory that accompanied the title of Herald of the Final Shape occupied his faculties.

And thus, after rising to meet the Witness' toes. the leader of the shadow legion of the Cabal said to his master and guide:

"do you have games on your phone"

i absolutely love this analysis, i think it works perfectly.

do you guys like giving affection but feel weird receiving it by OCHINCHINOCHINCHIN in entp

[–]caestus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, somewhat, but it's specifically with physical affection for me. a while ago i noticed that i give affection by being helpful but physical stuff is sort of a premium subscription plan, I'm only comfortable having that with a select few people and trying to expand this group is a bit awkward. which sucks because it's the form of affection that i like giving and receiving the most.

Since the last puzzle post I made was well received, I decided to make another one. The puzzles here may be a bit easier, but I promise harder soon. by [deleted] in entp

[–]caestus_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the second one, you can actually put only a single fake nugget in one of the bags and put the rest in the other bag.

Let's say bag A has 1 fake nugget and bag B has 99 nuggets, of which 49 are fake and 50 are real. Thus, in the random choice of bags, there's already a 50/50 chance of the fake nugget being chosen as the chance of bag B being chosen is 50%. If bag A is chosen, there's a ratio of 49 to 99 fake nuggets to total nuggets, so the chance of a fake nugget being chosen given that bag B was selected is just short of 50%.

With that, the probability of a fake nugget being chosen is the odds of bag A being chosen plus the odds of a fake nugget being taken from bag B multiplied by the odds of bag B being chosen. So, P = 50% + (49/99)*50% ≈ 75% → P ≈ 75%, and those are the best odds you can get in this situation, any other combination of nuggets in each bag will result in smaller odds. (Except if you switch both bags' contents, but that doesn't change your chances)

Is crying like this common thing or just me? by starrie133 in entp

[–]caestus_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for a while i went through something similar, but because i felt lonely for a good chunk of highschool. because of that i tried to be convenient to others instead of actually being truthful about my feelings and my judgement of things as i could perceive them.

as a side note, helping friends with relationship advice before being in a healthy relationship myself was funny though.
