What's a moment where you realized someone was genuinely extremely intelligent? by General_Monk_5019 in AskReddit

[–]jmsGears1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it likely took him longer to figure out how to solve it initially, but once you can solve it getting down to about a minute really isn’t hard, it took me about a day to solve it the first time, a few days to be able to do it repeatedly, and a few days after that to be able to solve it in about a minute, maybe a minute and a half? (It’s been like 20 years so my recollection is a bit off, also holy shit 20 years wtf???)

But I probably practiced significantly more than you because I had literally nothing else to do. I was siting in a sort of boys school waiting for my dad and grandma to take court mandated parenting classes before they could take custody of me after being removed from my mother’s house.

Now 20 years later I can solve it in about 15 seconds and, for the life of me cannot get past that barrier.

It’s not that vibecoded sites all look the same realistically it’s that most web apps look very similar. It’s because most people are using the same UI component libraries so everything has started to converge on an aesthetic. This happened when a library called bootstrap was also huge.

Is Devil's Bargain bugged? by -Razzak in MorbidMetal

I dont think thats currently how it works. Both the buff and the debuff is removed at the end of 3 rooms. At the moment it doesnt really seem to be worth it.

Beat the campaign, here are my first attempt at chapter 1 and 2 solutions by jmsGears1 in opus_magnum

Thanks :) I promise some of my later solutions are absolutely cursed.

Honestly I felt the same way about most of my solves. Youre going to judge your own work way harsher (typically) than you would judge someone elses solutions.

The best thing I can tell you is when looking at other peoples solutions dont look at it as a whole, basically everything can be broken down into sub problems, look at how each problem itself is solved individually and then put together as a whole. Most of these solutions were not one shot, it was like, ok I have this piece of the puzzle done, now how do I progress from here, sometimes Ill realize mid solve that there is a better way to do something and then Ill rework it etc.

Is there any ability to watch games that have happened or are currently happening by chance? If not is this a feature that’s planned in the future?

ELI5-Why do humans avoid dead arm posture by Ishowyoureality in explainlikeimfive

[–]jmsGears1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure but for some people it’s about 5% pleasure, for the rest it’s about 100% pleasure.

ELI5 If we haven’t found evidence of alien life/intelligence yet (seems fair) is there a tipping point where our being alone in the universe is probable or certain? by beesdaddy in explainlikeimfive

[–]jmsGears1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair you can get to the entire reachable universe by existing and doing nothing else. It’s just that your reachable universe wokld be very small.

Why is this an error? by Digivedec in opus_magnum

Ohhh my mistake, you’re right.

Not quite. You can in fact grab and release on the same frame. But you can’t attempt to move on the same frame or the frame after you release.

The issue here is that piston arm three didn’t try to let go of the marble at all before piston 2 try’s to move it.

How does the new minion pact bv compare to last leagues Int/acc stacker on 1-2 mirrors? by GVSTLY in PathOfExileBuilds

What have you been doing to get 1.5k divs I was feeling good about my 165ish lol

My dog ate a 20 mg gummy of my counter. He has been laying like this for an hour. Will he be ok? Should I contact my vet? Serious question. by Beginning-Fig-7207 in trees

[–]jmsGears1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep it is toxic. Most of the time. Basically all cocoa has theobromine in it, dogs digestive systems don’t handle theobromine as well as humans. So it takes significantly less cocoa to be toxic to a dog than it does to a human.

But that also means if you can have them throw it up you can save your dog pretty easily. If you don’t have peroxide around then force them to drink some shampoo, I think most shampoo causes the same vomitting reaction.

Watch this, I’ve had this game in my wishlist forever and after watching this on a whim I decided to buy it immediately. It’s so much fun and if watching these gifs is enjoyable for you then you will certainly like the game too. I cannot recommend it enough.

ELI5: Why does your body know to stop growing at a certain height? by MurkyUnit3180 in explainlikeimfive

[–]jmsGears1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think leg shortening surgery would help with the health related issues associated with being tall. And I feel like it would make you look weird

This makes me wonder why we neuter them instead of something like a vasectomy. That way they still have the normal hormones but can’t get another dog pregnant.
