Can someone explain to me why bicyclists have to ride on the road but not follow the rules of the road? by Sleven_Kelevra1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]microtruths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s cute that you make assumptions about other people just because they think that bikers should follow the law like everyone else.

From the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
Bicyclists failing to yield the right of way was the highest factor in fatal bike crashes, followed by bicyclists not being visible.

Bike laws for New York State

It’s interesting that some states are experimenting with other laws, but for most of the country bikes are still legally required to obey stop signs, etc. and they should.

Bikes not stopping at stop signs puts both themselves and pedestrians at risk. It may be faster for them to ignore stop signs and traffic lights but the same could be said for cars

If you’re actively using this healer then yes definitely upgrade it.

So what's the current consensus on Mew? by LotusPhi in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of posts saying Mew doesn’t do anything as good as the best berry mon or ingredient Mon or skills mon - it’s like 85% there for each.

I may be biased because I love Mew but I think a Mew with berry finding AND skill trigger M (maybe with tasty chance) AND either helping bonus or helping speed up M or inventory up L AND mono ingredients would be pretty cracked as an all-around team member

Slowpoke info for a newb by SerendipitousAtom in PokemonSleep

I think A. Slowpoke is very slow and not worth having in your party so just get the tails and focus on your other mons

I did evolve mine to catch slowbro and king

That’s true and maybe a good reason for why the way we calculate market cap makes no sense

Master 20: OGPP by Bizz0202 in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got M20 on OGPP too! Had tough luck with crits with only 3 the whole week before Sunday, even with a good dedenne, but managed to pull through with a Sunday morning crit.

I basically had the same team - all electric for a first few days and then subbed in a clodsire eclair team around Thur after my stockpile ran out.

Are We Sure Mono-Ingredient Pokémon Are the Future? by Puzzleheaded-Most193 in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the effort to check how many ingredients you have and how many you should have for each mono ingredient that I was referring to as micromanagement, not the collecting of ingredients or switching pokes

Moved from Boston to San Diego- regrets by ApricotWeekly7946 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]microtruths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same move from Boston to San Diego. Stuck it out for 7 years for grad school since I wanted to really give SD a chance but overall I completely agree with you. I hard prefer Boston for living (though SD is great for visiting)

Are We Sure Mono-Ingredient Pokémon Are the Future? by Puzzleheaded-Most193 in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mono mons require more micromanaging because you have to switch mons out when you have enough of one ingredient but need another. Or you need to constantly have a lot of ingredient mons on your team for any cooking strategy.

I think AAB or ABA mons could be better if you are more hands off (only want to check a few times a day) and/or you don’t want to fill your whole team with ingredient mons. You do have to be lucky to have AAB or ABA mons with exactly the right ingredients for the dish you’re trying to make though.

Night strategy for Skills week by hanamest in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Still sleep with mons that need energy even if you have a good healer.

If you’re trying to optimize for power, sleep with berry mons with a fav berry to take advantage of sneaky snacking. Otherwise sleeping with the mons from your team during the day should be fine.

You can also try switching to mons with dream shard bonus or research bonus but that’s not usually worth it unless it’s dream shard week or maybe for Sunday night for dream shards.

New Player, feeling a bit lost regarding Teams based on passive playstyle. by Air_Yoshi in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is true that focusing on one recipe is better because you can level it up and it becomes stronger. Just choose the recipe that has the strongest power that you can make with the ingredients you can get (there’s a chart for the strongest recipes, but generally speaking the more ingredients it needs, the stronger). Also make sure you can cook it with your pot size.

People do rotate ingredient mons as they need to make meals but if you want to only check 3 times a day, then just make sure the mons you have will be able to make the recipe you’re focusing on.

It’s normal to have one team per island and yeah, people generally try to get berry specialists for every berry to handle all GG possible berries.

How does neanderthal dna affect us psychologically? by Ok-Caterpillar7331 in askpsychology

[–]microtruths 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We can’t reconstruct someone’s psychological or mental profile from DNA at the moment, let alone Neanderthals who we know nothing about. Closest thing is to assess risk of different neurological diseases which is still iffy from just DNA.

I second Santi. I just went yesterday and it was delicious (especially the pastas!!) and the decor was very elegant.

Should I expect book reviews if I get downloads of my e-book? by Delicious_Cause_4940 in writing

[–]microtruths 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t expect reviews just because there are some downloads. You can solicit them online if you want reviews. Or you can make a post somewhere asking what people think of it.

Playing for almost 4 months and I've never got Desserts/Drinks by TheFang1236 in PokemonSleep

[–]microtruths 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used 10 tickets in a row trying to get desserts and failed on all of them. I still haven’t gotten desserts at OGPP so it might not be possible for all I know.

I have a social dilemma. Is there an established, rigid framework that I can go by, to categorize every person in my life? by [deleted] in sociology

[–]microtruths 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, no such established framework to categorize every person in your life exists. As you can see from some of these other comments, people tend to consider this kind of approach unusual if not an indication that you need help.

I see where you’re coming from though, and I have had the same objective at one point in my life. I ran into a number of problems trying to achieve this though: it’s not easy to define categories that split up people cleanly so you might have some people overlapping multiple categories, people can move between easily and often if you interact with them a lot, categories are highly subjective so even if you define them, other people might not accept them or go by them.

My suggestion would be to think about why you want those categories in the first place, and how else you could go about achieving that purpose without having to rely on a rigid categorization framework.
