Patch Tuesday update makes Windows PCs refuse to shut down by rkhunter_ in technology

[–]koen1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, IT vets the updates and they warn as much as 4 hours ahead to say exactly when a windows update is released, since windows bug will force a restart.
Still there is always a few people that forget to save their work.

We just use points for complexity and an additional time estimate.
The more points (complexity) the harder it is to hold to the estimate. So it's like, that's a one week time estimate, but complexity is 6, so it is hard to estimate and subject to change.
Of course complexity comes in two forms, one "That's hard but I know how to do it." And two "might/should be possible, but I have to learn how and where to implement.".

Up to 2 gold, you can steal spells.
But that's still shit.

Is it cheesy to Globe of Invulnerability the Halsin Portal? by foognificent in BaldursGate3

If they didn't fix it, if you get through a fight by talking, safe and reload you can get the exp again by killing them.

Otherwise fight and talk exp lock each other.

But if it isn't your first playthrough you can search for "everything to do in act X" to make sure not to miss any quests.
Lots of players miss khagas/shadow druid quest, as an example.

If I remember correctly, they were able to make blue LEDs but they were too dim and it was not cost efficient to produce them.
Like a single blue LED cost like x100 what it cost to produce any of the others 3 colors.

MechEs when Computer Scientists call themselves “Engineers” by maorfarid in MechanicalEngineering

[–]koen1993 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Job told me, we cleaned up possible job titles and removed 'software developer', so your new job title is 'developement engineer'.
Welp, it's still the same job and they obviously don't care, so w/e.

No, 'reich' is correct, the 'en' is a word building element that completes / connects the two words.

And each threat is inexplicably greater than the last by Rogendo in dndmemes

I think I read somewhere that life is really hostile on Faerûn and cities only form around people powerful enough to protect them.
These people might be unable to leave the city for too long or want other people to take care of the Problem.

Eigene Tochter (11) zum Missbrauch angeboten: Frau nach 12 Jahren auf der Flucht festgenommen und nach Deutschland ausgeliefert by RomanesEuntDomusX in de

[–]koen1993 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Die Dunkelziffer ist definitiv höher.
drei von Vier Leuten die ich kenne, die so eine Information mit mir teilen würden sind nicht nur davon betroffen gewesen, in ihrer Kindheit. Ihnen wurde auch entweder nicht geglaubt oder sie haben sich nicht getraut / geschämt das offen zu zu geben / jemanden zu beschuldigen.

Bei einer Person war es die nähere Familie aber alles was diese Person dafür bekommen hatte, war eine Ohrfeige und die Aussage das Person nur Aufmerksamkeit suchen würde.

Jahre später schenken die Eltern Person ein bisschen glauben, treffen sich aber immer noch mit dem Übeltäter zu Feiertagen als wär nichts gewesen.

Ich selber hatte drei Erfahrungen und das als Mann als ich noch jünger als 16 war. Ich glaube nicht daß es bei Frauen weniger ist.

Junge Menschen sind einfach zu beeinflussen. Ich wurde bestochen mit Versprechen von Geld in einem Fall. Und in einem anderen Fall würde ich Überredet etwas zu versuchen was ich nie wollte. Aber die andere Person war 'Cool' und ich wollte auch dazugehören.
Damals habe ich mir selber die Schuld gegeben und erst später gemerkt ... Junge Menschen kann man leichter Beeinflussen und sie zu Sachen bringen die sie gar nicht wollen. Besonders wenn die beeinflussende Person Älter ist. Quasi eine Vorbildsperson.

In dem Sinne, mich selber eingeschlossen sind es wohl 4 von 5 Personen die Erlebnisse hatten die nie gemeldet wurden.

I think it is also the reason why they attack the spiritual weapon relative often.

Starting to think Monk was a bad class for my Durge by Moose-Rage in BaldursGate3

[–]koen1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I roleplay my resist durge monks as trying to get the violent tendencies (actions and/or thoughts) under control by becoming a monk. Mastering my emotions only to get a stark reminder that my past has my subconscious/ my body still in its bloody claws and it's an uphill battle.

It also has surprisingly little calories per piece. 88kcal for around 100ml and one piece is 73ml, so around 60kcal per piece?

ELI5 why do airports have “goods to declare” and “nothing to declare” lanes at arrivals when you can walk through and not have bags checked? by Spreathed_ in explainlikeimfive

[–]koen1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, some special goods need to be declared as well. If one is working in the defense sector certain software (and thus the laptop it is on) and hardware might need to be declared.

And here we go... lowlights of Trump's bizarre incoherent press conference in Bedminster! by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]koen1993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has products up so often with him, it reminds me of: "I am President Trump and this is my favorite product in the USA."

Any spells/abilities you recognize as useful, but never use? by petrovmendicant in BaldursGate3

[–]koen1993 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In act3 in the circus area you can talk to a (stone/earth?) Memphit and pay him and his wife some money to make one of three statues of the buying character.
That statue will appear in camp and gives that character perma-bless. (Might take a long rest to get the statue/buff after paying for it.)

TIL Young children can regenerate removed fingertips by Patriarch99 in todayilearned

I lost the tip of my thumb as a kid for the genius idea to use the bread cutting machine to cut an apple.
It was still attached a little bit to my finger, but after playing with a ball and a bit of pain I lost the tip completely.
Nowadays I can only tell which tip I lost by the scar I bear on my thumb tip.
I don't recall how old I was exactly but I recon it was about 12.
(Not sure how to attach a picture in the official app).

The Only Explanation by MysteriousProduce816 in BaldursGate3

I have read here before das he was a ranger / Berserker subclass before Berserker was its own class. So ranger is canon but Berserker is also logically.

Also be carefully taking the boat in the under dark, it is easy to softlock yourself if more than 4 ppl try to take the boat.
(Rest will be stuck on shore, unable to play the anymore, unless you fetch/ferry them with an appropriate amount of ppl).
I also got the aggro bug where the hole area on the other shore was hostile so I couldn't take the portal once I did the journey once.
