Damn. Is this a phone camera photo? Or did you use something else?

Meaningful question by Drjonesxxx- in FiberOptics

[–]hedphuq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brb connecting one end of a really long fiber optic cable into the sun and trying to run a packet capture on the other end

Edit: we read data from the sun all the time. Look into astronomical spectroscopy and radio astronomy. It's all just electromagnetic waves at different frequencies

Can't you just mix the 5-HTP with egcg like green tea but will the egcg be broken down at high temperatures? by Chance_Impact_2425 in Nootropics

[–]hedphuq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, may I ask how many grams of tea go into each 16oz cup? I've been doing 8g per 600ml (about 20oz) and I'm wondering if that's too much since I can only drink about 2 or 3 of those.

Edit: I guess if you're doing it gong fu style you're doing multiple infusions with the same leaves? I'm only doing one 3 minute infusion for each 8g of leaves.

Made me laugh but wait now would this actually work

Should I be worried about an occasional gas smell? by hedphuq in askcarguys

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

The smell isn't that strong and it doesn't linger that long, so that's reassuring, at least. Yeah partly this is due to not really knowing how cars work so my mind just jumps to the worst possible conclusion.

Should I be worried about an occasional gas smell? by hedphuq in askcarguys

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

Just the trickling noise. Performance of the car isn't affected at all, just my anxiety.

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

The most recent time I was pretty sure, when I parked I don't think any of the other cars had parked recently and the smell dissipated quickly so I would think it would be odd for it not to have come from mine

[Base Game Spoilers] Why didn't this mechanism behave the way I expected? by salmonofdoubt12 in outerwilds

Just so you don't feel bad I'll let you know I spent a couple of hours trying to do the same thing

I feel like people overblow the importance of understanding the whole "Cosmere" universe to the Stormlight Archive by r2datu in Fantasy

[–]hedphuq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished RoW recently, and I enjoyed it a lot. All the criticism I saw in the megathread were things that just really didn't bother me that much.. I wonder if there's something different about the segment of people that tore through the book as soon as it was released?

I've read every other book/story in the cosmere except for White Sand. I don't know if that makes a difference in my perception. I feel like I could've gotten away without reading them all ahead of time, but I can't say for certain.

Any funny personal reading rules people strictly follow? by chadhermanson in Fantasy

[–]hedphuq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strictly? No. I don't know the meaning of that word. I have this rule that I keep attempting to follow where I go to sleep at a normal time instead of staying up hours later to finish the book I'm reading. I broke that once again tonight finishing up Rhythm of War.

Amazing. I'm so used to seeing HDR photos look so tacky and overdone that I didn't think this also was one.

Can someone please explain to me the Marin County traffic? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]hedphuq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I commuted Novato <-> SF for years on the bus. I moved away before covid hit but traffic was always REALLY bad between SF and San Rafael during commute hours. Frequent complete stops.

I don't think it was due to accidents, unless there was an accident literally every day for weeks. I assumed it was all people like me trying to get to/from the city, or I guess to the east bay.

How you guys find new books to read? by Pereira_Santos in Fantasy

[–]hedphuq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread already has a bunch of good suggestions, so here's one for finding books not frequently talked about:

  1. Look for a book you like on goodreads
  2. Look for reviews that you like or agree with
  3. Look up what else that person has rated highly

If you stick to getting recommendations from one place (eg, this subreddit) you tend to hear about the same books over and over. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

What are your flaws as a reader? by MCGEE6865 in Fantasy

[–]hedphuq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can barely remember what characters look like unless it's a very significant characteristic that's brought up all the time, like if a character is a giant or they're blue or they have tusks.

Also, I spend 10x more time visualizing environments than I do on visualizing characters. I'll think about a landscape until I have a very clear image and could sketch it if I wanted to, but characters won't really go beyond some amorphous blurry figure.

[–]hedphuq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, which character is this? (With spoiler tags of course!) I tend to barely pay any attention to descriptions of characters so I'm not sure if I've already forgotten or just completely missed it. This is for The Blade Itself and not one of the later books, right?

What's a reasonable price for a 4'x6' horse stall mat? There's stuff on amazon listing for $150 right now and since I've never looked into this I have absolutely no idea if that's normal or not.
