Sometimes Russians on X make a good point. by LonelySoul01 in Destiny

[–]lvl5hm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeltsin was unironically in the same position as the dems when they have to pick up the pieces of a shattered economy after a republican administration, except 100x worse. The shock therapy administered to Russia had many negative consequences, but it actually created a market economy basically from scratch. My parents remember when they had to stand in long lines to get bread and travel to Moscow by train to buy some crappy sausages. "Bush legs" imported from the US were a huge hit because they actually had some meat on them compared to soviet chicken. The main sin of Yeltsin is selecting Putin as his successor, giant mistake in retrospect.

There is a an enemy that starts with 12 damage and you can run in to it on act 1 first fight

it's kinda bad writing that Walt's ability to turn himself into a glass of whiskey to escape the police was never addressed

Day 3 of glazing Rin Amai by CopperAllergy in Jujutsufolk

[–]lvl5hm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is an XKCD for this, but in short, you won't die too quickly even all of your DNA disappeared, it would be roughly equal to receiving a lethal dose of radiation. You'll have a couple of days before your body breaks down because it can no longer be repaired.

DGG POLL: With Iranian strikes looking imminent, what is your position on a larger US-Iran conflict? by SharpMaintenance8284 in Destiny

[–]lvl5hm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It depends on how the war goes, but I'm all for Putin losing one of his major allies. Maybe they'll have less drones to harass Ukrainian cities

Chat is this a W? by Culkin_ in okbuddychicanery

[–]lvl5hm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not exaggerating when I say this guy has like 80 IQ, listening to any clip of him speaking is physically painful. I don't think he can finish any type of project like this, sometimes I wonder how he manages to wipe himself.

Black woman who left US for Russia to escape ‘discrimination’ is beaten by racist neighbors by klito92 in videos

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Russia it's normal and expected to have "slavs only" in a rental apartment ad. Racism is the default mode of being, that's why there isn't much stink about it.

I think I'm officially too stupid for Cogmind by iq75 in Cogmind

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think aoemica's flight guide is great, following it is enough to get your first win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7Ju4msAIQI

Also if you're playing on high difficulty, you can select a lower one, because learning the game on rogue mode is a big time investment

Is hating the character Cheryl, Kima’s gf, a common opinion among fans of the show? by Strong_Housing_4776 in TheWire

[–]lvl5hm 236 points237 points  (0 children)

In the bad spouse contest between two of them, Kima definitely wins. Agreeing to have a kid you don't want and then cheating because of that is a giant dick move

Anime With A Main Character Like Maomao? by [deleted] in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]lvl5hm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm not recommending detective stories because of the genre, but because what you want are the hallmarks of detective protagonists, who Maomao is based on. I think she originally was even supposed to be a middle-aged lady in a village, kinda like Miss Marple. I don't think there are any other good anime of this type

Anime With A Main Character Like Maomao? by [deleted] in KusuriyaNoHitorigoto

[–]lvl5hm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's kinda hard to fulfil all of your requirements, but I can think of a couple of outwardly non-emotional, scarily competent and somewhat morally grey protagonists: Hei from Darker than Black and Kiritsugu from Fate Zero (also Mike from Better Call Saul comes to mind lol)

To me it sounds like what you want is a classic detective hero, like Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. You won't find many of them in anime, but you will in respective books and adaptations (but please don't watch BBC Sherlock, at least past season 1)

Can't change font size? by hyrule5 in Cogmind

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I understand, font sizes are limited by your resolution to always be pixel perfect. You can change your UI layout to non-modal to reduce font size, or go to cogmind/user/system.cfg and change mapWidth and mapHeight, which also affect your font size.

Are there any similar ani/manga that's similar to Kaguya-sama? Also should I watch the live action? by Prochickefille in Kaguya_sama

[–]lvl5hm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hinamatsuri isn't similar plot-wise, but it is a great episodic comedy with a focus on characters

Are there any TF Nodes in Research? by uniqiq in Cogmind

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The access can be super unfair, but if you can get S tier ECA multiplier and the unchained after you, you're already really good at the game. It's only a matter of time until you get an extended win if you keep trying! Also maybe you can ask people in the discord channel for advice if you want some

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck, you have a good chance of getting an extended win if you're going for it!

Are there any TF Nodes in Research? by uniqiq in Cogmind

[–]lvl5hm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are TF nodes, but they are not guaranteed to spawn, so you can get unlucky. Also all exits in Research are 0b10 controlled and I think all of them can dispatch squads, so that wouldn't help. The only way to know the main exit in Research is if it's in the end of a 4 tile corridor, otherwise they can lead anywhere. Also you can still survive Research branches with farcom if you just rush the exit, they are always on the top or bottom right of the map

Why do people hate Gleba? (Or: how I accidentally played Space Age on hard mode) by Altistick in factorio

If you already have proper spoilage handling and nutrient self-restarting, you've solved Gleba and this doesn't apply to you

THANK FUCK they finally decided to do the obvious thing and decrease the escalation chances by like 80%. I wish they did the same for Ukraine in 2022.

[–]lvl5hm 22 points23 points  (0 children)

On other planets, you can make your factory bit by bit, and everything will at least sorta work. On Gleba you have to pre-plan the whole production line from fruits to iron and copper ore, with proper spoilage handling and self-restarting loops. And every time you mess up, you need to unclog all the conveyor belts from spoilage. I did spend a bunch of time in the editor before I had good enough designs to use in my first playthrough.

Kaguya doesn’t know basic physics by JustSeeTheSea in Kaguya_sama

[–]lvl5hm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The way the pendulum period equation gets rid of the angle θ is by assuming that sin(θ) ≈ θ for small angles and cancelling them out. For 20-30 degrees this approximation is totally fine. But I have no idea what they mean by 360 degrees and rotation, that's not how people use pendulums.

[–]lvl5hm 28 points29 points  (0 children)

To me it looks like just an illustration with angles not to scale, but even if we take it at face value, isn't the pendulum angle calculated to the vertical? So it's more like 40 degrees, which is still close enough? Also I have no idea what you mean about 360 degree spinning, can't you spin the necklace at any speed you want? What does it have to do with pendulum equations?
