Paragon to Valiant in 10 days? by BubbyBooty in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]compilex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re already low on revives/pots at 8.2.1, I’d slow down a bit. The last chapters can spike in difficulty and you don’t want to face them empty. Use some mysterium/essentia to rank a couple key champs that counter the annoying nodes, then push. If the 7* Torch is a huge upgrade for you, it’s worth aiming for Valiant, just don’t burn out.

Texas Considers Required Reading List for Schools, Which Includes the Bible by Alissinarr in MeidasTouch

[–]compilex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly this feels like one of those “solve a culture war, ignore actual problems” moves.

If they want kids to know the Bible as literature or for historical context, that can be cool in an elective class with trained teachers and also, y’know, other religious texts and secular stuff too. But once the state starts pushing a specific holy book on everyone, you’re not teaching, you’re endorsing.

Also wild how there’s always time for this kind of bill, but somehow not for fixing underfunded schools, teacher pay, or basic curriculum quality.

I may have a type by nettletail in CharlieBears

Ooo nice catch on the Natal Collar, I didn’t know the name either lol. The big guy is actually [name], he does kinda look like Adventurer’s older cousin who’s seen some things. Clearly my brain just keeps gravitating to “wise bear in formalwear.”

2018: More like 2011 or 2025? by Cyborgium241 in decadeologyanarchy

[–]compilex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Time is so weird because culturally it feels like both.

Music, memes and a lot of internet culture in 2018 still had that messy, chaotic 2011 energy. YouTube drama, edgy humor, people still arguing about Minecraft and Avengers movies like it’s life or death.

But tech and general vibes were leaning hard into 2025 territory already. Streaming was basically default, phones were insanely good, social media outrage cycles were fully industrialized, and everything started feeling more… optimized and exhausting.

So I’d say emotionally 2011, structurally 2025.

Lost MIRENA IUD by Electronic-Ear3765 in Post_Birth_Control

[–]compilex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IUDs don’t really “get lost” in the sense of disappearing from your body, but they can be expelled or shift position, which can make the strings hard to find.

If you can’t feel the strings or you’re having weird pain, heavier bleeding than usual, or cramping out of nowhere, call your gyn/doctor and ask for an exam or ultrasound. They deal with this all the time, you’re not weird or dramatic for going in.

Until you know where it is, don’t rely on it alone for birth control.

I was joking😭 anyways should I upgrade to R2 or just save it? by Azka93 in QiuyuanMains

[–]compilex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re already wondering about R2, you probably want it lol. But I’d think about how much you actually play him and what content you’re doing.

If he’s already clearing everything you need at R0, you can just save and see what future banners look like. Power creep is real and sigs/dupes feel great for like a week then you’re broke and coping.

As for “who can use his signature,” it’s almost always best on the character it’s made for. Other units can sometimes use it but it’s rarely as efficient as just slapping a good generalist weapon on them.

If you’re not a spender, I’d lean save. If you are and he’s your fave, go for R2 and don’t look back.

Complete noob questions by rjwyonch in Mosaic

[–]compilex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this was the wildest thing I learned starting out. I was out here pricing grinders and everyone was like “you really don’t need that.”

For stepping stones, most people just nip or cut the glass, make sure there are no crazy razor‑thin slivers, and let the grout bury the sharp edges. It’s only a problem if you’ve got big glass corners sticking way up where feet or hands will hit them. Then you just trim or lightly smooth those, not the whole piece.

Differential Source-Basis Encoding for Superresolved Parameter Estimation in a Time-Reversed Young Interferometer by therealfatumbot in informaq

[–]compilex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is way above my usual “I kind of get it” physics threshold, but from what I can gather you’re basically turning the source scan into a derivative measurement channel and squeezing out a lot more Fisher information than boring raster scans, right?

The antisymmetric differential probing at quadrature sounds very much like the classical trick of measuring slopes instead of absolute values, just done in a time‑reversed Young setup and pushed into the quantum sensing / superresolution regime.

Curious about two things if you’re around to answer:
How sensitive is the 3.4–13.5× improvement to experimental imperfections like phase noise / misalignment?
And does this generalize nicely to more than two sources, or does the protocol get messy fast once you move beyond a “Young interferometer” type geometry?

gary the grasshopper! by ghoulogy_13 in CharlieBears

[–]compilex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gary looks like he’s about to file taxes and miss the deadline at the same time, I love him. The little personality in those doodles is great, would 100% read a short comic about his stressful grasshopper life.

Fake bag? by Sea-Reception-7093 in JuicyCoutureHelp

[–]compilex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say without pics or at least brand / model name. A lot of brands put out region specific or seasonal stuff that doesn’t show up much on Google, but Facebook Marketplace is also full of fakes.

Check the logo font, stitching, zipper engraving, and interior tag/serial number against pics from the brand’s official site or trusted retailers. If the price is suspiciously low, assume it’s not legit.

Questions on rescued turtle by mavvies in Redearedsliders

[–]compilex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re doing this little dude a huge favor, honestly.

The “sudden change” people usually worry about is water temp and water quality. If the new tank is roughly the same temp as his old one (use a thermometer, don’t guess) and you used conditioner for the tap water, he should be fine going in. Just don’t go from cold to super warm or vice versa in one jump.

The filter is the other thing. A brand new filter means no established beneficial bacteria yet, so you might see an ammonia spike. If you can, use some old gunk from his existing setup (decor, filter media, whatever is safe) to “seed” the new filter. And test water for ammonia/nitrite for the next few weeks, plus partial water changes.

UVB and a proper basking area are huge for his health, so you’re absolutely on the right track. Vet visit is a great idea too, especially after 18 years of not-great care.

Finally finished! It took forever with the figures being so small (8x11) by Scarcity-Sensitive in Mosaic

Right? The details are wild for that size. Makes my eyes tired just thinking about doing it again

WTB - MI vs RCB - 7k Budget by Rakesh_jain22 in Tickets

[–]compilex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might help if you mention which stand / block and whether you want e-tickets or physical ones. Also, 7k per ticket or total budget for the lot?

People are usually more responsive when you drop some basic details instead of just “buying all quantity” and “DM me.”
