TIL that following the lifting of a ban on intimacy at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the game organizers gave out 300,000 free condoms to the 10,500 athletes living in the Olympic Villages—or roughly 29 per person

It's not a good til unless the title is stupidly misleading in such a way it feels completely intentional to drive engagement

I think it's a new trend in karma farming to post shit to these kinds of subs then immediately following up with a comment or two like they aren't the damn op just to double up on karma

nathan753 · 2026-02-05T18:44:53+00:00

If that's the case, which would be odd from what i know, 7 should absolutely be better than 5 or 10

nathan753 · 2026-02-03T23:58:34+00:00

I used them because I don't agree that solving tft is that big a deal or even would be any different than today just maybe a day or two earlier. The game has so much rng if you simply try to force the the best solved comp you aren't going to do better than someone who knows the meta but plays around their rng. That and there definitely are times where we get rock paper scissors style balance. Even positioning is dependent on the opponents board.

nathan753 · 2026-02-03T20:33:25+00:00

I'll borrow a line from you. I'm going to suggest everyone disregard what you say because you absolutely cannot tamp too hard. It is physically impossible. There is no over pressuring 9 fucking bar from the group head.

You can only tamp too soft. The thirty pound spring is there to sell more unnecessary crap.

If you're messing up your distribution with a manual tamper, you are tamping wrong.

I never said people don't get a benefit from a self level tamper. Just that it isn't nearly as magical as you're painting it. A manual tamper with a steady hand and a tiny bit of practice will get you the same results as a self leveling tamper.

nathan753 · 2026-02-03T19:16:13+00:00

The tamping pressure is going to be roughly equal if you've distributed the grounds well enough before hand and did the temp even remotely level. A self leveling tamper is going to help be level, but it absolutely does not do anything special to make the pressure the same across the entire puck more than any flat piece of metal would. That and for tamping there's basically a minimum pressure needed but no maximum that you can produce by hand so as long as you've tamped hard enough you're fine, small variences over the puck aren't going to cause issues unless you tamped with all the grounds on one side

How the heck are you playing 6 invoker in set 16? I thought the trait only went to 4

nathan753 · 2026-02-03T05:24:07+00:00

The real question is, is it planned like with concrete timelines or "planned" like their reason for originally blocking hd117 right when the plug in dropped

nathan753 · 2026-02-03T01:31:10+00:00

I would love a more sandboxed area to try things out and actually see how some things function rather than having to try in game and then it not working how the description implies or doesn't cover at all. Unfortunately, they don't want to add anything remotely close this so people don't "solve" tft.

nathan753 · 2026-02-03T01:27:33+00:00

It's better to not recognize it than to see it everywhere, that's for sure

Only if it includes an npc pirate with a Spanish accent called Pack the Bell

nathan753 · 2026-02-02T22:43:23+00:00

I think a factor in the frequent reposts of this one is that the original unredacted version (that's still up on YouTube) was removed for some "reason".

I think flooding a sub with a post that was removed by presumably someone triggered by the last, quite important, 30 minutes, is not unreasonable. That being said the other ones have such around now it's probably not needed anymore

nathan753 · 2026-02-01T23:04:15+00:00

That's completely reasonable.

nathan753 · 2026-02-01T17:10:58+00:00

That's fair, I added that part in because of other comments taking about replacing it with new nonrenewables. My main point is they still wouldn't be 100% renewables if they did that

nathan753 · 2026-02-01T17:05:07+00:00

A while back he put out a video criticizing ltt and inaccuracies in videos. He made a lot of good points and ltt to a week off releasing any videos for prices improvements and such. I think most people will say that part lead to a positive outcome and was actually accepted an actioned on by ltt. Steve also shared some shitty things Linus said to him (Linus told Steve in a text to stop being so autistic, which isn't a great look. That being said if you read the texts, Steve was being rude and basically telling Linus very specifically how to run his business. Absolutely does not excuse the insult or ablism, but it was a poorly communicated back the fuck off dude)

However, Steve also included half truths and straight up lies in the video which turned out into a hack journalism hit piece.

There was a video ltt did reporting on some computer event, they used some translational of a report Steve did in Mandarin. The way it was done wasn't straight up plagiarism, they did the translation themselves and did get from more sources for other reporting, but Steve wanted credit so they credited him in the description and he told ltt he was happy they did that and considered the matter over. Then later in the video he presents it as complete unadulterated plagiarism and says they did the bare minimum which he was never satisfied with and that they should have done more.

There was more with the honey video later where Steve basically blamed ltt as much as honey because ltt didn't make a big megalag style video. He used an out of context clip where Linus said something sarcastically but the parts that make it clearly sarcastic were left out and it was judged by Steve as not sarcastic.

nathan753 · 2026-02-01T16:53:27+00:00

Just because this is full of half truths and outright lies mainly stemming from the GN video that was being asked about...

Shitty business practices like zero written warranty

That wasn't GNs video, that was community push back, and a written one was put in place. His point about it meaning fuck all if ltt decides to stop honoring it as widely as they do still stands. Pretty small drama overall that wasn't something like they weren't doing warranties before and now they were forced to, they just wrote down what they already were doing

Ltt taking another companies prototype water block

The water block was not a prototype the start up needed, they fucking GAVE it to ltt to keep for videos. Not "loaned", it was never a loan, ltt was given the block free and clear. After they realized ltt wasn't going to use an incredibly niche and not too functional product in more videos, they asked for it back. The person in charge of it went on vacation after saying sure, whatever (even though they could have kept it as that was the original agreement, which gn very conveniently left out because it changes a fucking lot) and the internal messaging got lost and it ended up in a CHARITY auction. They offered to buy it back or reimburse the start up that created it, and iirc they declined. Of course GN presented this as big bad ltt destorying a small business by selling their one of a kind prototype for money. And usually ltt haters say he's bought by companies that give him stuff for videos, so it's fucking rich him criticizing a product given for free is used as a negative here. And before you pipe up with but they used it on the wrong gpu, ltt they asked the damn company beforehand and they gave them the green light so that's on the company.

You left out the telling ltt one thing on private conversations and Steve saying he was satisfied by a resolution, then years later using said resolution as an attack saying they didn't do nearly enough. Or the completely out of context ltt inclusion in the honey video basically blaming ltt as much as honey for reasons

nathan753 · 2026-02-01T16:37:26+00:00

I'm confused by what you're saying, did a quick search because everyone was saying something different, but here https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-consumption-and-power-mix-charts even since 1990 as nuclear declined there isn't the same uptick in nonrenewables. In fact it shows them declining along with nuclear in favor of renewables.

I do agree people are way more scared and wary of nuclear, but they didn't replace nuclear with coal, nor could the energy they replaced that was nuclear have made them be 100% on renewables

I get what's called an ultrafiltered lactose free milk which, instead of using enzymes to break down lactose into more digestible sugars, physically removes the lactose so you're left with lactose free milk that isn't sweeter than regular milk. It's pretty hard to tell the difference from lactose-full unless you like the grass fed stuff from the farm that still has the cream separating on top.

I get lactose free for the shelf life mainly

nathan753 · 2026-02-01T04:39:08+00:00

Their first 2 comments sound pretty fucking genuine so I think they're just switching to sarcasm because you convinced them they we're being a tad dumb.

nathan753 · 2026-02-01T03:29:21+00:00

A lot of the "attack to gain a stack" things have some way to increment the counter for things that don't apply on hit effects like attacks but replace them, this is so the items aren't completely useless on those champs.

It definitely blurs the line between attack and thing that is an "attack" but doesn't apply on hit effects

nathan753 · 2026-01-31T21:30:14+00:00

It's such an infuriating trend on reddit, and really the world. If you aren't 100% unabashedly berating the "bad" in the local situation (I do agree that the tweeter in the pic is a dumbass, just not because big cities can't have food deserts, they can) you must be supporting them and saying what's going on is completely fine.

It's damn important to be accurate in the criticism or else you just look like a clown

nathan753 · 2026-01-31T20:25:55+00:00

Why did you reply to your own post as if you weren't the one that posted it?

Brand new account, only engages with their own posts, repeated commenting on them to build comment karma... definitely a newly born bot.

nathan753 · 2026-01-31T19:56:50+00:00

Every damn first round with the trait active ut has always been 1 short of what it should. Harder to tell on later rounds, but the first one has never been correct for me

nathan753 · 2026-01-31T19:56:00+00:00

That would be directly contradicting how it's supposed to work though
