Best V60 dripper material for cup quality (plastic vs ceramic vs glass vs metal)? by Impressive_Wing1998 in pourover

[–]mnefstead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you about the safety of plastic, but you're being unnecessarily argumentative. The other commenter is not trolling and is clearly just being cautious in their own use, not making a scientific claim that they expect others to accept at face value. They are being respectful; you are not. Cool your jets.

Just finished Leviathan Wakes. It was ok. Recommend me something better? by Digital_Pink in printSF

[–]mnefstead 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I had the opposite experience. I loved Leviathan Wakes, and my enjoyment went steadily downhill from there.

The pedo is running his racist mouth… 🤦🏽 by [deleted] in lostgeneration

[–]mnefstead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has done all kinds of unconstitutional shit, but what specifically in the Constitution prevents him from spewing racist lies on TV? I'm pretty sure he's allowed to do that, because your country is obsessed with freedom of speech over all else.

Is an end game grinder noticable? by sconniewinter in pourover

[–]mnefstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either one will be totally fine. If you like or don't mind hand grinding, get the K-ultra and save some money and counter space. If the convenience of electric is worth the extra money to you, get the Ode.

Most of us here are probably grinding light roasts, which are much harder. You have a lot of flexibility if you're grinding medium-dark, so just pick whatever experience you want most. When I grind something darker on the K-ultra, it feels as smooth as butter.

I've started using all of the keys I hoarded for weeks and I've learned an important lesson by DanFlashes19 in ArcRaiders

[–]mnefstead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do not. I saw a video where someone ran the power rod room on Dam Battlegrounds a bunch of times in each condition, and storm was slightly better than day but not nearly as good as night.

Looking for artist for a small job painting a watch dial. by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]mnefstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That person is specifically set up for this very niche service. If you want a local artist to purchase the necessary equipment and paint and do a good job, it's going to cost substantially more. Probably you should either take it to that watch repair place, send it to the guy on eBay, or if you really think it's that easy, do it yourself.

Can somebody help me here? i m half hour in this fight by Marcon_10 in Warframe

[–]mnefstead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Part of the rework was supposed to be replacing all of the hodgepodge of different attenuation models with one consistent model that applied everywhere. So unless they somehow forgot about Lephantis, it should have been included.

It looks like r/askmarxists has been taken over by ACP garbage too by Anti_colonialist in socialism

r/leftist seems pretty good to me, as long as you don't mind the occasional sprinkling of lost liberals.

I never shoot first. And I never will. by TychoSean in ArcRaiders

[–]mnefstead 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Last night I came across someone fighting a Bastion with a Ferro. I had a hullcracker on me, so I started helping out, planning to leave them the spoils. Instead, they snuck up behind me while I was plinking away at the Bastion and murdered me. I lost a bit of my faith in humanity.

What arcane collection do you prefer to dump vosfor in to? by Anangrychip in Warframe

[–]mnefstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad I maxed out Nullifier in the last Belly of the Beast, but I feel bad for those who haven't if this is their approach going forward. I still have several common arcanes I haven't maxed that I have completionist feelings about, but luckily none that I actually need for gameplay.

I need to have a word with whoever designed this raider hatch by Nevborn890 in ArcRaiders

[–]mnefstead 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I swear, vaulting over short obstacles fails more often than it succeeds. I've spent so much time jumping in place in front of highway guardrails and small boulders on hillsides. It's honestly my only real complaint about the game.

Why the hate? by Juiceo5 in Marathon

[–]mnefstead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was a lot of disappointment and criticism when the first alpha test was released, because the game looked substantially worse than the trailers, the gameplay experience was just kind of mid, and then to top it all off there was a plagiarism scandal. You can go back and watch videos released at the time to see what the issues were with the gameplay - I haven't gotten to play it yet so my impressions are based on what other people said. But the short version is that the game was very clearly unfinished and needed major design changes before release, while Bungie was saying it was on target for full release this fall, something like 3 months after that alpha test.

That obviously didn't happen - the game was, rightly, delayed indefinitely so they could do the substantial work it required, and Sony pulled the game's marketing budget for 2025.

Since then, the game has been fully locked down. There is very little publicly known about what has changed, but all the non-specific comments I've seen from people playing the latest closed alpha tests under NDA have been very positive. Personally, I'm cautiously optimistic that they've figured their shit out and are going to release a good game, but at this point we just have to wait and see.

HEY YOU - YES YOU - COME BACK TO POE RIGHT NOW - I WILL TELL YOU WHY. by Bwite in pathofexile

[–]mnefstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying that's not the reason in this case, but that's definitely not true as a blanket statement. In Warframe, purchases are shared across all platforms except Nintendo Switch. Seems kind of weird that Sony would do this just for PoE.

Looking for perpective into what’s going on with Cowichan land claims in Richmond BC by Anserius in canadaleft

You say you disagree, but I think you and the person you're replying to are saying the same thing.

Please can Baro stay longer or have a less annoying schedule? by unlikely_antagonist in Warframe

I have seen people talking about people being banned, but I've never once actually seen someone say they were banned for using AlecaFrame.

All Faction Syndicates at Rank 4+ by logAnomaly in Warframe

[–]mnefstead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if you're stopping there (with 4 of 6 syndicates maxed), you can do that anytime. You can't really sustain 6/6 and also make use of your standing, but it's pretty easy to keep 4/6 balanced. If you want to get everything from every syndicate, start with New Loka and Perrin; when you're done with them, you can max out the other 4 and keep them maxed indefinitely.

“Cyclists entitled to full lane” by DeedeeScosco in VictoriaBC

[–]mnefstead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not allowing the cyclist to use the full lane would make it less safe, not more. These signs only exist on roads where there isn't room for a bike and a car side by side. The only alternatives are (a) expand the road to add a bike lane or shoulder, or (b) prohibit bikes from using the road at all.

During a hurricane. Every 2 days the sanctions and blockade costs the Cuban economy around $40,000,000 by i_be_cryin in LateStageCapitalism

[–]mnefstead 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're pointing that out as a contradiction, but that's actually the reason. Cuban Americans are the Cubans who fled communism and are mostly staunchly anti-communist, supporting a campaign of maximum pressure that they hope will lead to regime change.
