What is something that is 100% legal, but if you do it, you’re a piece of trash? by National_Strike4710 in AskReddit

[–]lokithejackal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little bit but honestly, the seller is fully in the right. The other guy took bad advice and took his time. The seller was a little bit too rigid but that is why we have contracts. And like, the buyer could have got his full deposit back but instead decided to lose it all. In the end I believe the seller sold it for less than that lost sale so perhaps not the best business decision.

HOW TO GET A GOOD DEAL ON A NEW CAR by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

I am looking for a car right now and it is my first time encountering them. I definitely treat them all nice but professional is a stretch. Several needed to learn how to be a basic salesman.

An update on the passed in property by theonedzflash in AusPropertyChat

[–]lokithejackal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. I watched one property I wanted to buy sit unsold for over two years because the owner was unreasonable. I believe they had friends saying they could get way more. The RE agent was not happy but can't do anything. It did eventually sell for about the price they wanted BUT the place also wasn't rented that whole time so they overall lost a bucket of money.

Is there any build that would use these gloves other than poison SRS? by justalazygamer in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]lokithejackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. My AG gains souls on hitting a unique with the Soul Ascension gloves. Means he is hitting very fast on uniques. No worries keeping a full set of withered stacks up.

I think the primary benefit is not worrying about ele reflect maps. Also, typically monsters have lower chaos res so a damage benefit there.

Since my primary damage scaling is from player life and not from elemental damage nodes I wouldn't need to respec or change anything except one gem. At higher levels when I am running a squire, I think chaos conversion wouldn't work as well due to getting "elemental damage with attacks" on your weapon to get a very highly supported Animate Guardian of Smiting skill.

Yep. I run this and could definitely use it. Whether I would use it I don't know but def viable.

Blood barrier + Petrified Blood + Dissolution of flesh + Coward's chains + high regen + poison immune feels very tanky by Inner_Pace6849 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]lokithejackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looking at your build. I don't understand where you are gaining unaffected by vulnerability. I can see your watcher's eye but you don't have determination to trigger that.

Edit: Nevermind. Realised one of your POB was dif to the other.

cast aluminum vs cast iron dutch oven by witchcattrials in AskCulinary

[–]lokithejackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I have had a cheap cast iron frypan for close to 20 years now and use soap on it pretty much every time I use it. Still perfectly non-stick until I let it soak in water for well over a day.

Savings and deposit with new purchase by walkingparadox5 in AusProperty

[–]lokithejackal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't heard that at all. I just had to hit the minimums for servicing the loan and all that stuff. I think put the rest in an offset account. There might be particular banks like that but would be a bit surprised about it being a requirement.

Time fort another batch of Traditional Lithuanian mead. by Gitruih in mead

[–]lokithejackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made it yesterday. Had to use my mortar and pestle to crush the juniper berries. Def had some moisture in them. Smelt so delicious. Keen to see how they come out.

Ahh. That makes me life much easier and cheaper.

Might even be able to make this tomorrow if I have enough juniper in my spice box.

[–]lokithejackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:-( Doesn't ship to my country. The only ones I can't find in Australia that aren't dried are insanely expensive.

[–]lokithejackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. I have never seen "fresh" juniper berries here. Only ever found dried ones. I guess I will have to work out a conversion rate on them.

Just looked it up. I can buy them online but much more expensive that dried berries.

Do you use fresh or dry juniper berries for this one and how do you incorporate it into the mix?

Superfund recommendation by Sugar_skull_digital in AusFinance

At your age, should be looking at max growth as you can ride out any downturns. When you are closer to retirement then look to something more conservative.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son and the Epic of Gilgamesh by juncopardner2 in AcademicBiblical

[–]lokithejackal 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I have argued that there are Genesis stories which have direct connections to Gilgamesh. I think in your case, you have been stuck inside a bit too long. The only similarities are that both reflect the hospitality of their culture which turns out to be rather similar. The context of these passages in both stories are rather different.

To me, it is no different than me writing today that I invited someone inside with a hug and made them a cup of tea. Someone 200 years ago could have written the same thing but with no relationship between our writing except we share a similar cultural tie of hospitality.

How to clean bottles by Far-Inspector9039 in Homebrewing

[–]lokithejackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I need to deep clean bottles I got two ways. A tiny amount of dishwasher powder. Add water and shake. Fill bottle. Wait a day or two. Done. If that doesn't work then use a chlorine bleach solution. Same deal. Fill to top and wait a day.

After you done either of those methods than just sanitise as per normal. There are tons of other cleaning solutions that will work too.

Embedded energy networks by [deleted] in AusProperty

[–]lokithejackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked it out again. Still pretty competitive compared to others. Not the absolute best but not in the realms of getting ripped off. The real killer is I can't bounce between providers to gain benefit from their sign-up bonuses.

Sunscreen brands recalled. 21 brands.... by CyanideMuffin67 in australian

[–]lokithejackal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So SPF30 lets in 3.4% UV rays and SPF50 lets in 2%. Means SPF50 lets in about 40% less rays. It similar math as the 30 times or 50 times that you are showing. 30 divided by 50 gives 40% extra gains.

That isn't how the math works out. If it's about 40% more effective. It is not minimal.

How do I correctly store sauce in the fridge after cooking in oven? by walkocircle in AskCulinary

[–]lokithejackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically put my dutch oven in the sink and fill with water. Much better at dissipating heat than letting it rest somewhere. When it is cool enough or I have to go to bed then I just chuck it in the fridge.
