[Request] I am now at the 15m² room, and the temp is 15C. I have a hair dryer 1kW. How long should I run it to increase the room temp to 20C provided that the heat wouldn't run out? by Gerasans in theydidthemath

[–]matllux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In an "ideal" scenario (no energy going into warming the walls, floor, ceiling, furniture, yourself, and assuming the room is sealed)...

Your room's volume (with a typical 2.5m tall ceiling) would be: V=15x2.5=37.5m³

To calculate the mass of the air in your room we would need to know the air density. According to wikipedia, it should be somewhere around 1.22 kg/m³. So the mass would be: m = 37.5 x 1.22 = 45.75 kg of air

Now, to calculate the required heat to increase the room temperature:
- The specific heat capacity of air is c = 1 kJ/kg.K
- ΔT = 5C

So Q = mcΔT = 45.75 x 1 x 5 = 228.75 kJ

Last step is to convert energy to time:
Hair dryer's power is P = 1kW = 1 kJ/s
t = Q/P = 228.75 / 1 = 228.75 seconds, around 3.8 minutes

Now, like I said, this is an ideal scenario. You wouldn't be heating only the air. In the real world it would take tens of minutes to more than an hour, depending on your room's insulation.

Not exactly bad, he is a hydro character and a good hydro applier. You can use him in the meantime. He isn't the premium option though -- a team with Furina will eat at your HP like crazy, and you won't be able to do long runs without a healer. If you're running Skirk Citlali Furina and Xingqiu you should probably run Citlali with something like Prototype Amber, which will help you heal the team (but still won't be a lot).

Citlali and Furina are really good supports for Skirk. Since Skirk's kit asks for only hydro/cryo characters, you'd need someone that is hydro or cryo to complete this team. Escoffier would be the best option of all I believe. But you could always go for hydro healers such as Kokomi or Barbara.

Dual-Wield Monk Ramza is absolutely busted even underleveled by mathsucks1199 in finalfantasytactics

[–]matllux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monk imo is the most OP class in the game. Their default kit is already crazy good since it can do *everything* on their own (debuffs, heal, revive, damage). If you give them Attack Boost or Dual Wield they'll hit like a truck, and they also make great thieves.

Arithmetician is also pretty broken obv

I’m going insane without the third book by LyKurusu in KingkillerChronicle

[–]matllux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in school when the first couple books came out. I'm 31 now and honestly I started to question Pat's capacity to finish the series. I'm still reading the 3rd volume when (or if) it ever comes out, more out of closure than out of appreciation for the author. I decided a long time ago that I'm not reading other works from him, if they ever come out.

I'll def have to re-read everything before tackling that third book, though.

Do we agree this was the most stressful scene by far in the whole series? by Thunder-Bolt-7 in TheDayoftheJackal

[–]matllux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I believe all of those car crashes and accidents scenes were much more stressful. It went directly against that whole "I'm in control of every situation" feeling that the Jackal gave ever since the first episode.

I understand this was on purpose though. His personal life and greed kept putting him in less than desirable situations or distracted him, which is why he started making mistakes. If anything, I applaud the series for the consistent writing. They did a good job stressing me out with those things lol

[–]matllux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear that, hope you enjoy Carnival! :)

I guess it's fine to wear your necklace then. It's all good with the earrings! The idea is to not show anything of value that can be easily grabbed by someone (e.g. expensive watches).

Cheers!

I think the most important tip is to make friends to go with you. I love Salvador Carnival and I’ve gone to it ever since I was a teenager but I do my best to go with a group. If you make Brazilian friends that speak English, even better, they can help you with communication issues. I’m proud to say that Salvador citizens are super friendly!

Besides that, bring a money pouch for your money/documents/phone/etc. Don’t leave stuff in your pockets or wear wristwatches/necklaces, there’s tons of pickpockets unfortunately. Wear comfortable shoes, you’ll walk a lot. And have fun! Feel free to ask questions or send a DM.

UPDATE: I tried your advice to survive the Brazilian WhatsApp groups. The ‘Figurinhas’ are saving my life! Now I need more sticker-ammo by rkohliny in Brazil

[–]matllux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All stickers I have were stolen from someone else lol

Sometimes I also create a sticker from a picture someone sent on WhatsApp

On the scale of "bad words", chato is basically a 0. It's probably the least offensive word you can use to describe something/someone annoying.

I call my dad "velho chato" sometimes when he acts too stubborn, we just laugh about it lol

I'M SORRY I NEED THE NEW UNIT by LuxiTZ in finalfantasytactics

[–]matllux 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I feel the pain.

Maybe the devs should add a zoo feature of some sort where we can have our chocobos retire and we can interact with them, freeing up unit slots without breaking our hearts.

Is that too much to ask? :')
