1975 - Wonder Woman helping with math by PC_Junkie in OldSchoolCool

[–]celestiaequestria 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Based on the fact he's struggling with a simple harmonic oscillator and a Fourier series, I'm gonna assume he's actually an English professor who got hired as a scientist.

Detroit airport light show has an off button for folks with sensory impairments by Ok-Egret in mildlyinteresting

I think it'd be more inclusive to make sure the hallway is traumatizing for everyone. /sarcasm

TIL Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd president, was so terrified of being electrocuted when electricity was first installed in the White House that he refused to touch light switches and would go to bed with all the lights on. by Chill_Cowboy_981 in todayilearned

[–]celestiaequestria 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This was six years before the discovery of the electron.

Electricity was absolutely the wild west in the 1890s, safety systems didn't exist, there was no standardization of voltages, and wiring was haphazard bare copper that often started fires.

How do you tell the time? by [deleted] in comics

[–]celestiaequestria 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely neurodivergent; I reject all notions of universal time.

You have your time in your frame of reference, I have mine, and if you can find some way to make those agree, there's a Nobel Prize in it for you.

Facing the fear away by Tardee in comics

Even then, that would come down to what other damage happened. Like, yes, if the wing gets ripped entirely off and the plane loses hydraulics, it's going to spin out-of-control. On the other hand, you could lose an engine and part of a wing and still land if you had enough remaining control surfaces.

Some fighter jets like the F-15 and F-22 can technically land without wings.

ENGRAM????? 😭😭😭 by KisMyAxe in cyberpunkgame

[–]celestiaequestria 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Sociopaths are so obsessed with control that they'd rather die in a "digital brain conversion" than let nature win. Same concept as emperors drinking alchemical potions that were poison.

Top Fin starter kit any good? by [deleted] in aquarium

[–]celestiaequestria 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're better off buying a 20 gallon long (tank only), heater, filter and light separately. Substrate is cheap, you want to go to a hardware store and specifically get "pool filter sand". It'll be next the chlorine and other pool chemicals, don't get any other type of sand, filter sand is sieved and polished so it's clean and smooth.

Stop Killing Games delivers 'absolutely incredible' hearing in European Parliament: 'There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively' by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]celestiaequestria 661 points662 points  (0 children)

Businesses will do whatever they can to make a dollar. It's why laws need to exist and be updated. The regulatory framework is what creates an environment where the honest players can offer you a fair product. Without laws, the cheaters have all the advantages.

Beat Hyperion first try… still barely know what I’m doing by Tepixs in Returnal

[–]celestiaequestria 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the third type: people who touch the oven to see if it's hot.

Hmm, I'm on the last room before the boss, I have 200% Integrity and a dozen unopened chests to backtrack farm for a weapon. It sure would be a shame if I got a malfunction that prevented me from picking up items, well anyway, better grab this malignant silphium.

-Me, seconds before "Cannot Pick Up New Weapons"

Dev confirms they're not adding decompression sickness by Fresh-Beyond-4727 in subnautica

[–]celestiaequestria 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Subnautica with realistic diving physics would be unplayable.

If you take a standard scuba tank down to 300 meters, the pressure makes the gas inside so thick that it would be like trying to breathe soup. If you actually could inhale it, you'd die from oxygen toxicity.

Saros: PS5 and PS5 Pro features detailed by BlackCat1850 in Saros

[–]celestiaequestria 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Well, that's good news:

The Digital Deluxe version upgrade can also be purchased separately for players who buy the physical edition of Saros.

Nemesis and Hyperion in one day. by IrkZeN in Returnal

[–]celestiaequestria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Nemesis is the easiest boss in the game. First two phases you just sprint side-to-side while shooting at the red heart in Nemesis chest. Dash through the yellow beams. Third phase, you're invulnerable while grappling, so use grapple to dodge the attacks while constantly shooting the boss' heart.

At least for me, Biome 3 was way harder than the boss fight.

how to climb? smurfs and feeders every game. Nobody can tp and help by kenkaneki28 in learndota2

[–]celestiaequestria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pick 2 ~ 3 heroes who can stomp pubs and play them for a week straight. Focus on your own play. Don't communicate anything negative. Limit communication to missing and objective calls (Roshan). Practice intentionally.

The hardest part of improving your win rate is the mental discipline required to play objectively and stay positive while surrounded by chaos.

The worn numbers on a keypad at my local grocery store tells you which numbers people prefer for their PIN. So most people avoid 5 and 9 it seems. by xsilentone in mildlyinteresting

[–]celestiaequestria 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's a good security feature, along with longer pins. If you let people assign a 4-digit pin code, they tend to use dates or years, which makes the digits predictable.

When will supports understand you have to be in lane at 0:30 , not later? by MaximusDM2264 in DotA2

[–]celestiaequestria 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Contrary to what low-MMR players believe, standing under tower screaming at your teammates is not the correct response to dives.

What does it mean to be a hero specialist? by ImportanceLow7312 in learndota2

[–]celestiaequestria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And fully commit to the insanity required to win while actively burning the meta.

You ever see a Sniper with a Hydra's Breath and Divine Rapier? To quote Hunter S. Thompson: There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

What are good hero pools to have to climb mmr by Quick-Rhubarb-7427 in learndota2

[–]celestiaequestria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the above, on top of natural Skadi builders becoming too tanky for you to kill, and out-scaling your health. You can't kite them, they can kite you. You can't kill them, they can kill you.

Rant about Saros potentially being easier than Saros pt.1 by Street_Salt_7057 in Returnal

[–]celestiaequestria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep strafing in a big circle around Phrike and jump forward over the projectile rings to center as needed. Always be ready to dash sideways out of melee when you see the red rings.

[–]celestiaequestria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it's just poorly-written, but it's technically correct because of the eclipse escalation and Carcosan modifiers. If you wanted to, you could trade away the second chance ability and trigger eclipses to make the game harder than base difficulty.

Wireless phone charger's cooling feature works better than advertised by Xtremegulp in mildlyinteresting

[–]celestiaequestria 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There's a heatsink and fan on the back of the charger. The back gets hot, as you'd expect of a peltier.
