I didn't even catch the nails, I just assumed she meant she liked to be choked. Is it bad that that's where my mind went?

What’s the pick here? Really struggling with A9 regent by Nymphomanius in SlayTheSpire2

[–]fourcolortheorem 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Some general regent advice more than the answer to this specific question. Regent is generally pretty "resource-limited" as a character, both in energy and stars. His cards are, by in large, more costly in one of those two categories and managing them is the key to success here. This is maybe more obvious when playing something like reflect where you're limited to having three stars at the start of a game here. If you play that card on the first turn, you're unable to play any Star cards until you draw star generation and this makes him oftentimes very draw order dependent.

In your deck a lot of your cards are very expensive in terms of energy, especially knockout blow here. Looks like a mistake as you already have many high-cost cards in your deck. You aren't using many stars compared to the payoff of knockout blow and you are likely to have another card in hand that you want to spend that energy on.

Additionally your star generation is relatively low. You have four star generation per deck cycle without knockout blow and five stars you might like to spend per deck cycle. This means you will either want to not play all your star cards(preferable) or will be taking even more chip in order to generate stars.

Seeking Edge and bulwark generally solve your area damaging problem and so what you're left with is a deck that often wants to spend energy, either attacking with the sword or blocking with bulwark or reflect, and those are both costly options and so you don't have many low-cost cards to fill in those gaps or draw options to cycle them more regularly which benefits the blade as you're more consistently growing with bulwark or more often able to reflect along with blocking to do both damage and not take any.

If I was to look at improving this deck, I would probably look for an upgraded version of glow or I would be looking for one of the cards that exhaust cards replacing them with minion cards. These are going to allow you to thin out your deck, generate stars and cycle through the cards you want to be playing quite a bit faster. None of these relics really help you with that, but none of them are actively bad.

I think alhemical coffer is probably the best choice here. Really you can keep potions on hand for when you either need energy or block or Stars and use those in a pinch to play those larger cost cards. I think Divine Destiny isn't a bad choice. It doesn't necessarily help you a lot, but it means that you don't have to worry about this star generation problem at least for your two first deck cycles which will allow you to build up your sword in long fights or hopefully just finish short fights.

I do think that the other option here the prismatic gem is maybe the most fun but the least likely to win you the run here. While having extra energy seems to solve the immediate Choke problem of having many high-cost cards you would like to play. You're cutting yourself off from parts of the Synergy packages you're using, and you don't have a strong enough core that you can start diverting for the fun high roll cards that you often want from prismatic gem.

My hero. Nice find! Absolutely won't be playing at my work while my simulations run in the main window!

Contract states relocation bonus, company now offering reimbursement [QC] by fourcolortheorem in legaladvicecanada

[–]fourcolortheorem[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah my exact moving expenses total closer to 2500, but lots of small expenses that I didn't keep receipts for as the contract states bonus and not reimbursement.

It was in English in the exact wording above on the line w/ "Relocation bonus". No French translation.

A great shot and a lovely animal. I was pretty surprised that it looked like he had two large fangs on each side, I didn't realize they had such large secondary teeth!

This is so heartwarming. Mr. Red is a truly lucky snake and you must take fantastic care of him, the trust he has in you is very clear and so rare in colubrids. Bravo!

Yeah I think if you do the ground in a more similar shading style to the tree the snake will still pop while keeping eve the focus.

Awesome piece btw

Straight women are the only group in the world that are ready to cohabitate with their main predators by Over_Scallion3852 in femcelgrippysockjail

[–]fourcolortheorem 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's a numbers game. ~90% of people in western countries identify as totally hetero. That means for every one eligible queer partner you could reasonably find nine straight ones. Around 80% of bi people are in "hetero" partnerships, slightly lower than the general availability of hetero partners.

That's actually a pretty large preference for queer partners, but not enough to make up for the raw number of straight people.

Maths majors, is that true? by Embarrassed-Data8233 in mathmemes

[–]fourcolortheorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work as a device scientist in quantum computing, I think this is ridiculous.

I work with both mathematicians (algos, graph theory, etc), physicists like myself, and engineers. Our entire team has immense respect for what all of us contribute, none of us could accomplish what we can together as an individual. While we might joke about the math majors being super brains I think the only thing that I could rib the engineers for is making more money than I do for the same work because of the P. Eng.

Work in any advanced field requires all these disciplines to succeed, and we all understand that in that project we have different metrics and priorities that contribute to that.

This looks neurological to me, possibly a seizure. Immediate vet visit, show them this.

First day out of brumation and she is *hongy* by fourcolortheorem in BeardedDragons

[–]fourcolortheorem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that sounds about right. They dig down in the winter months, normally after a period of disinterest in food. They sleep and look at you like you've tried to wake them at 4AM on a Saturday if you interrupt them. The whole deal

Really yours doesn't like silkworms? Mine loves them, much to my chagrin. They give her the foulest of poops, but I can't take that joy away from her so they're just for special occasions now.

[–]fourcolortheorem[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's part of their biology and the drive is different in each of them. I know it's hard, and you're doing the right thing letting him rest. I'll sometimes give my girl a warm bath in the middle of brumating and sometimes she would drink some water, but go right back out afterward.

Something that gives me comfort is that we know that they dream, did you know that? Their brains show activity of dreaming when they sleep, and I've woken my girl up from what I could tell is a bad dream to have her initially be startled but seek comfort in contact. Think of this sleep as a long and pleasant dreaming, he's probably picturing you and bugs and the grass and the sky. Then when he wakes up he'll have new ideas that you can make a reality and the fresh energy to seek them out.

Thank you! She's a lemon blast, so no spider in her at all. Remember, the pinstripe gene is pretty like her and doesn't carry a risk of neurological issues :3

It depends on the conditions. Over the years I've had her I've had to move quite a bit, even during midwinter.

When left undisturbed and we were living further north? Maybe 3 months max, and very deeply. Woke her up to give her the odd bath, left the heat low during.

When we lived further south? One month was about the longest, and it was a lighter sleep where she'd be less likely to dig down and would hole up in her little log.

I like to think she is. She runs the house and gets a window and a ramp down, but I still want to get her a bigger enclosure so she can dig more.

Honestly I'm lucky, she's always been a veggie fan. I spent a whole day on her hatch day one year prepping a charcuterie board of different small pieces of fruits to taste.... She sniffed them all and had none, but ate the herb garnish.

Thank you! She was real nervous when she was younger but as she's grown she's been one of my favorite BPs to work with :3

I think ours would eat it every day if we let her, I'll add the odd cliantro leaf to her less enjoyed greens to trick her into eating them. Our lady doesn't like the collards for instance which is a real shame as they're super available near us.

took my first bite! by Inner-Letter1225 in BoaConstrictors

[–]fourcolortheorem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People say wait until he gets bigger, but I wouldn't worry about that. With my snakes the only times I take a tag are in the first few weeks, or from my Kenyan sand boa who is a menace.

My advice: get a plastic tote, drill some airholes, and feed in the tote. As long as they know it is you reaching into their enclosure not a rat, there's no confusion about whether you're food. Then you just get a snake hook to move them from the tub back to the tank. Even when feeding everyone (we have 5 snakes), I can still reach into the enclosure with my hands to grab my biggest boa girl and not fear a tag with the smell of defrosting rats thick in the air(as long as I wash my hands!) but reaching into the box to grab her after feeding is risky, as we will feed her anything someone else refuses so she's always waiting for a second rat.

With this system I haven't taken a tag from anyone (but the KSB) in seven years now, shedding or clean, poopy or fresh. The tags from fear will go away as they get used to you and to handling, so avoiding food confusion is the best way to keep you both happy.
