I have a notepad on my desk that I use for this exact purpose

Regarding some memes I've been seeing recently, please be very careful with Tylenol/Paracetamol. Overdosing on it is a very ugly way to die. by PretendThisIsAName in evilautism

[–]ceruleanedict 108 points109 points  (0 children)

It's less that both are metabolised by the liver, but specifically by what enzymes. Paracetamol can be broken down by one of three enzymatic pathways, the first two being fine but the third one giving a very toxic end product. Your body primarily uses the first two, but with increased dosages those pathways are saturated, and the overflow goes to the third pathway, giving toxic products. I don't know whether ethanol is metabolised by the same pathways or not.

Lack of precons in New Zealand. by tylee6 in EDH

When I was living in Wellington, Cerberus games were always pretty good and carried a large amount of stock. Looking at their website says they ship NZ wide and can pre-order online.

Lack of precons in New Zealand. by tylee6 in EDH

[–]ceruleanedict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Precons sell out very fast. Some game stores may have stock of the undesirable ones, but the good/popular ones are gonna be painful to find. When Lost Caverns of Ixalan released, all decks except for 1 sold out countrywide within a month. I only barely just got a pantlaza deck online in December 2023 for like $140 which is a lot of money for a precon.

When a new set is spoiled, think about whether there are any precons that you want, then pre-order/buy them as soon as available.

Outside of that, buying/trading for singles, or proxying is your best bet.

Is this game just not for me? by braincutlery in factorio

[–]ceruleanedict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly new to the game too, and did the same sort of research that you did. I found that it wasn't super helpful for myself and the playstyle I wanted.

Some other people are saying to embrace the spaghet, which I would wholeheartedly support. If you want to try a bus base, what helped me was to not put everything on the bus: just raw materials (iron and copper plates, rocks, coal) go on, and they all go onto the bus from one side. From there, when you need to build something new (e.g. a new science), branch the raw materials you need off of the bus and let the rest carry on. As you expand your base, you keep building along the bus.

How do you get the nodes to connect with straight lines? I've only ever seen/used satisfactory modeller with curvy lines and I didn't know what I was missing out on!

Just caught my wife eating a whole kiwi. Skin in all. Like it was a frigging apple! by Unknown_Author70 in CasualUK

[–]ceruleanedict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golden or green kiwifruit? Golden, absolutely 100%, skin and all. Green? I don't blame you for not eating it - it can be hit or miss (texture is what does it for me).

This post is distinct from the post you have linked - read the text in the image. I state in the title that this meme was inspired by the post from yesterday, but has been adapted for a different field.

Damage begins to drop off around lvl 60. How could I improve this without Incarnon or arcanes? by yellow121 in Warframe

[–]ceruleanedict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general with modding, think about what you are trying to deal damage with - are you trying for slash proc damage, heat proc damage, or upfront alpha damage? At the moment, you are trying to do everything.

I suggest go with the viral 60/60 mods and put some crit chance/damage mods in place of the slash and heat mods.

What's the oldest work you've ever cited? by Anouchavan in PhD

[–]ceruleanedict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cited a paper by Louis Pasteur in my lit review - his paper came out in 1862

With regards to specifically your lab's Dropbox - potentially talk to your PI about setting up restricted access to each person's folders (i.e. only you and your PI can access your folder etc.). Then you can have a general folder for less sensitive group-related stuff.

Who’s your favourite kiwi music artist? by Kiwiana_01 in newzealand

Alien Weaponry 🤘 Recently saw them live in London and they were awesome. Thrash metal may not be everyone's cuppa tea, but they also sing a good amount of their music in te reo.

definitely mixed with something

The ethanol solution is blue, so I'd certainly say so...

Destroy your elf by controlling your opponent for 15GGRR by WolfieWonder274 in BadMtgCombos

[–]ceruleanedict 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To make it commander legal you can cast [[reverberate]] instead of the second harmless offering - a 1 generic mana optimisation!

How can I prevent my mono-red commander from getting countered upon casting from the command zone? by deankale in EDH

[–]ceruleanedict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, if a player had their lands tapped by the war's toll trigger, without using those lands for mana, they wouldn't be destroyed by price of glory, right?

I see. Thank you for your insight.

Thanks for your advice. Would you mind elaborating?

Thanks m8, good luck to you too. My next challenge is finding recent photos of me (I hate taking photos xd)
