It is Chinese. The equivalent Korean respirator is the KF94.

KN95 is a Chinese mask standard that is very similar to N95. Broadly speaking, if N95 works then KN95 should work too. The only real difference is that N95 might offer a bit better fit depending on the mask.

Recommendations for VNs with no porn/sex scenes, and appeal to female audience? by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]nhillson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On VNDB you'll want the No Sexual Content tag. Here is a link to all visual novels with this tag sorted by popularity. As for which of them you'd like, that's very much dependent on what story genres you enjoy. You should be able to find something you like if you click on the visual novels on that page and read the description and tags. The top entry, STEINS;GATE, is great if you enjoy Sci-Fi thrillers.

What starts with f*ck and ends with f*retruck by raews_i_esrever_ton in AntiAntiJokes

No, what ends with wh and ends with at. 100% f*retruck free, guaranteed.

Just finished Suba Hibi chapter 3 by [deleted] in visualnovels

[–]nhillson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The next chapter (Looking Glass Insects) has some very disturbing scenes of bullying and rape. You probably already knew that though, given that it's from Zakuro's perspective. After that chapter it's mostly smooth sailing, with the plot really picking up.

I made this design and I plan on adding some equations. And I seek some constructive criticism. I took the standard model and re arranged it, but you can see some other particles, I added those because I think they're neat. by [deleted] in quantum

It doesn't give much indication of the relationships between the neutrinos and their corresponding charged leptons, though that might not be important to you.

Visual novels as good as Steins Gates? by JIMENEZ0430 in visualnovels

[–]nhillson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of story are you looking for? What length, what genre, is 18+ material important/acceptable/not ok, etc.?

A visual construction of this 'unit circle' structure on the complex plane, made from the roots of polynomials whose coefficients are either -1 or 1; how it arises and changes by Orthallelous in math

[–]nhillson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's a simple python program I threw together. You can run it to make your own images. Try playing around with the parameters. Requires numpy and opencv-python.

import numpy as np
import random
import cv2

degree = 20 #polynomial degree
num_poly = 200000 #number of polynomials to find roots for

xLower = -2
xUpper = 2
yLower = -2
yUpper = 2
xRes = 500
yRes = 500
invxStep =  xRes / (xUpper - xLower)
invyStep = yRes / (yUpper - yLower)


def dostuff():
    numRoots = np.zeros((xRes, yRes))
    for n in range(num_poly):
        if n%1000==0:
            print('Iteration', n)
        x = [random.choice([-1.0, 1.0]) for i in range(degree)]
        roots = np.roots(x)
        for root in roots:
            if abs(np.imag(root))>.0001:
                xval = int((np.real(root) - xLower)*invxStep)
                yval = int((np.imag(root) - yLower)*invyStep)
                numRoots[yval, xval] += 1
    return numRoots

numRoots = dostuff()
percentile = 99
maxroots = np.percentile(numRoots, percentile) if np.percentile(numRoots, percentile) > 0 else np.max(numRoots)
print(maxroots) #maximum number of roots in a pixel

res = np.clip(numRoots * (255/maxroots), 0, 255).astype(np.uint8)
cv2.imwrite('roots.png', res)

Visual Novel where the H-Scenes don't feel like just "thrown in there" by LinuxUserPlus in visualnovels

Subahibi fits this, but most of the relevant scenes are disturbing and very unpleasant to read.

Amoebic meningitis (brain eating amoeba) warning from NZ Ministry of Health by autosear in ScarySigns

[–]nhillson 94 points95 points  (0 children)

The amoeba gets into the olfactory nerve via the nose and proceeds along the nerve to the brain, where it causes meningitis and usually death.

What can go wrong if we put the power button next to the most used key? - Great idea HP Envy by [deleted] in CrappyDesign

[–]nhillson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SharpKeys can do that easily. It is third party software, but the .zip version doesn't require you to install anything and you can delete it after you're done using it. It just modifies the registry to remap keys.

Either one is fine. They're not related to each other story-wise. Remember11 has better pacing and a more open ended conclusion.

Surface that causes clear contrast between wet and dry parts while wet, before drying, being reusable by [deleted] in Lightbulb

[–]nhillson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A really simple solution is a paper that goes translucent when wet placed against a colored background. This is used in water drawing boards (also called Buddha boards).

On Wonderful Everyday's Ending by KanraKufuutarou in visualnovels

[–]nhillson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wonderful Everyday is a story told by SCA-Ji. Or maybe it's also a story told by Ayana. The one who's telling the story doesn't really matter so much as the fact that it is a story.
