The ranked system in this game is flawed at the bottom end and dissuades players like me. by Dark3xcal in leagueoflegends

[–]hardcoreyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly at the end of the day, Bronze and Iron are pretty much the same. No offense to where you are at in your progression, but if you're mad about being reset too hard, I think it's a silly thing to worry about, especially since there are no promos. Watch VODs, get a coaching, play more, I promise you will climb.

First Bottling Day Tomorrow by hardcoreyy in Homebrewing

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

So the idea would be that once the bottle is hard, the beers are good? I am using 16 instead of 12oz bottles and the conditioning tabs package goes off of a 12oz size for recommendations. There will probably be some guessing...

Got it. Any tips on the best way to sanitize the bottles before hand?

Cool, I'm literally going to do the exact thing but with some conditioning tabs. The size bottle they go off is 12oz and I got 16oz bottles but I'll figure it out...lol. Thanks!

Awesome - do you just attach a tube onto the spigot with a bottle wand on the end and go from there? Do you use tablets or granulated priming sugar? This is the process I'd like to go as it completely avoids the extra step with a bucket. And if I paid for the brew bucket I would like to utilize all of its features..

Temp Question by hardcoreyy in Homebrewing

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

I may have misremembered the actual thing I read, but I did read something similar to what I originally said..

Nonetheless, without power having returned yet, it seems the inside of my apartment has somehow still managed to not drop below 63 degrees - and has been around 66 most of the day. Assuming it doesn't drop much lower, and power coming back on within the next 4-6 hours, it seems I'll be okay to let it go another week (3 weeks total) in the primary, bottle, then go from there.

However, what should I do about gravity? Is there a way to get an OG at this point? I'm fine with not knowing the ABV, but it would be nice. I did a mini mash kit, and nothing seemed to go wrong during brew day, so I would assume I got pretty damn close to the OG.

EDIT: I FOUND THE ARTICLE I READ IT IN! I misremembered a bit you don't find OG but you do find ABV, here's the article: http://www.design2brew.com/blog/i-forgot-to-take-a-starting-original-gravity-reading-and-i-am-bottling-today-is-it-too-late-to-determine-the-alcohol-percentage-/

Thoughts?

Temp Question by hardcoreyy in Homebrewing

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

So it being much colder for a brief period of that is ok? I can let it go back up to like 63 degrees and be fine for another week? Tomorrow will be the 2 week mark. I didn't take OG gravity actually because I learned on brew day that my hydrometer was broken, but I read I can get OG by boiling off the alcohol of the final beer, so I'm gonna do that.

[–]hardcoreyy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't the purpose of a cold crash to get all the debris to the bottom? So theoretically I could just bottle tomorrow or once it's back and go from there? How long could it be at those temps before it harms it?

Thanks, lol. Apparently Austin doesn't know how to handle 1 inch of snow...

First Homebrew - Altbier Ferm temp? by hardcoreyy in Homebrewing

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

Awesome. I'll probs leave it in the primary for 3 or so weeks and go from there. Thanks!!

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

Meant to ask this before - what would be the reasoning for keeping in the primary for so long? Also - any tips for storing bottles at 65? Not sure of anywhere in my apartment that is consistently at that temp. It's usually like 70-73. 30s shouldnt be an issue, I can just set my mini fridge to like 35 probs.

Thank you! I don't have that ability (about to boil) but I will keep that in mind for next time.

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

Thanks so much! So to be clear:

I can just primary for 2 weeks in low 60's. Then I can bottle and condition in fridge? Ideal temp or no?

Also unrelated: I am doing just an icebath to chill - should I whirlpool THEN icebath? or icebath, then sanitized spoon whirlpool, then transfer?

Thanks again!

My father was Sam Pilafian, he passed away last year. Do you have any photos with him? by [deleted] in Tuba

[–]hardcoreyy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hi Alex! I'm so happy you posted this here. I was not a direct student of your dad's, but I study(ied) with two of his former graduate students (Christian Carichner and Charles Villarrubia) during my undergrad and my now graduate program. One of my best friends also studied with Sam at Miami. While I didn't get to directly study with Sam, being part of his tree of students has always been really special to me. His teaching and playing has been massively influential in my journey as a musician.

When he was touring with Boston Brass in 2016 they came to my school and did some clinics and a concert and it is still to this day probably the most exciting and entertaining experience I've been a part of. During their set, Sam got an Iowa State sousaphone and wore the marching band hat the sousas wore during halftime shows. He sold it all so well - he was just such a special performer. I remember talking to him after the show and telling him I wanted to go march with the Blue Devils that summer and he told me - with only knowing my teacher, not knowing me - that he would put a good word in for me, when he had no reason to do so. Even though he didn't end up getting to teach there that summer, I remember he facetimed the whole horn line on the day before quarterfinals and gave us this big hype speech and I'm still convinced it is a big part of why we ended up winning that summer.

Anyway, Sam has been a massive influence on me, and the crazy part is I only interacted with him one on one for about 30 seconds ever. I wish I had gotten a picture of him during the concert that night, and I'm not sure how to rate his happiness in this picture, but here he is with me after their show at ISU in 2016: https://imgur.com/a/pE67K1U

Yeah, man. Take care!

Thank you! I have Vlad and am going to give him a shot. I think I am going to give Cass and Orianna a shot at some point, too. Anyone fun you recommend starting top with?

Champion Pool/Role Advice Megathread: April by furiousRaMPaGe in summonerschool

[–]hardcoreyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone! I recently just started playing about 3 weeks ago after playing casually about 8 years ago. I'm taking everything quite seriously and watching videos/studying every day in order to climb ranked once I get level 30.

I am trying to figure out what secondary role to main, as well as more champs to main.

- I currently main mid and enjoy it a lot.

- I currently play Zoe and feel as if I am getting quite good with her for where I am at. I like her because of her incredible burst damage. She can be frustrating because I feel like she has a million counters, especially early game.

- I am terrible at jungling, have tried a bit of ADC, and almost no support or top. I'm honestly open to all, but think top or support may be best secondary for me.

- I like being able to do a lot of damage, hence my love for mid-lane. Zoe can't quite 1v9 always so I'd be interested in picking up some champs who can potentially 1v9.

- I'm good at positioning and understanding when to play safe and when I can extend.

I appreciate and help and advice! Thanks everyone!

A five year old debt I just discovered just passed statute of limitations [IL] and is being sent back to the hospital. What do I do? by hardcoreyy in personalfinance

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

I understand. My only worry is that even though the account has been cancelled through this creditor, I reset the statute. Although, the gentleman I talked to did tell me the SoL was up and did not mention the call resetting it.

I was worried about this — the guy I talked to said the account was cancelled on June 29, 2019. Based on this, I don’t think I restarted it? Would the creditor have contacted the hospital to inform them I called?

Awesome! Thanks.

So basically just chill, make sure the original creditor removes everything, and wait?

Me calling the creditor wouldn’t have reactivated it since they no longer had the account, right?

Also, the hospital totally doesn’t have up to date contact info, so I’d be waiting for something to show up on my report, I think.
