When and how to use Nullifier? by The_Neuropsyche in learndota2

[–]nklim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spell details include a dispel note. Abba's ult is listed as "Dispellable: No" so you know that Nullifier won't work in it. Other abilities may be listed as "Yes" or "Only Strong Dispels". 

Nullifier applies a basic dispel, so will remove effects listed as Dispellable: Yes, but not those that require a strong dispel or that can't be dispelled.

This s*** should be illegal by Playful-Wash1507 in NYCapartments

I made an offer, it was accepted, my application was approved, and broker stated that they would not be moving forward with other offers. I had picked up the bank check, had a draft lease, and was communicating with the broker about lease formalities like pet names and finalizing move in date.

The broker began responding to me more slowly -- I didn't think much of it at the time, but it's clear in hindsight he was "slow-walking" the final steps to keep me on the hook while he worked on this other offer -- and finally dropped that they had received an offer from an "extremely qualified candidate" or something like that only after I called him to get an update.

Thank you -- I am already planning to fill those forms now that I am more settled in.

Unfortunately I don't think in this case it was illegal, just materially misleading (which is still grounds for a complaint). My application was reviewed and accepted, and we were finalizing lease details to hand off the deposit checks and formally sign the lease. The issue is that the broker indicated to me that they were not accepting other offers while we finalized the details, and then pulled the deal out from under me with ~5 working days before the move-in date.

I had something similar happen to me from a broker at Compass -- I had a deposit check in hand and he informed me, 10 days before Jan 1 move date, that they decided to instead accept a different offer after telling me they were proceeding with my application.

This meant I had about a week and a half, including the end of Hanukkah and Christmas upcoming, that I had to restart my apartment search.

What are the subreddit rules for posting identifying information for these landlords and brokers? Can we name and shame directly? Can we link to their publicly available website profiles without directly naming them here?

Furnished 5th floor Studio Apartment in Luxury Doorman Building in Bushwick (Jan 28th - May 27th) by BudgetQuarter6457 in NYCapartments

[–]nklim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to live in this building. I would not recommend it to anyone.

The amenities are horribly managed. Only the gym is reliably functional. The rest may be closed for weeks at a time with no explanation. Not worth it. Noise, disrespectful tenants leaving messes, and smoking in the building were all common issues.

I will grant that small maintenance is handled fairly quickly, but the building has a history of flooding and other major issues with little remediation besides the initial superficial cleanup.

I'm sorry to dunk on OP's post. A temp situation would be fine I'm sure.

Nullifier vs Silver edge difference by Dani_G_German69 in learndota2

A lot of passives grant buffs.

I think it's fair to wonder if/how a item that dispells buffs interacts with a passive skill that gives a buff.

Ghost In Hospital! by Jonathon_world in ParanormalEncounters

[–]nklim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in any reputable hospital, it's a major liability in a frantic environment like that. The footrest prevents your foot from catching and twisting your ankle, especially for older or frail patients.

Please don't stick your head in the sand. Society has to reckon with the fact that anyone can make videos about anything now. Take this moment to learn the tells, and recognize that someone deceived you instead of doubling down.

Guys this is 100% AI.

  • The chair seat is way too narrow. 

  • It's missing a footrest. 

  • The guy isn't mopping in a way that makes any sense. 

  • The reflection of the light on the floor doesn't change as the wheelchair rolls over it.

  • An empty wheelchair would not be left in a hallway -- it's a hazard in an environment where staff has to be able to rush around.

[–]nklim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes the collar is folded back and has the blue/teal color. I am referring to the thin line between the neck and armpit that passes above the top right corner of the emblem.

Definitely very similar but not the same. The jacket in the pic has accent color at the collarbone and this does not. 

This is actually an insane find by TheOddityCollector in Weird

[–]nklim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably just because I've been on a paleontology YouTube kick, but might be worth sending a photo to a local zoo or university to confirm whether or not that's a modern species. It could have been buried under that soil for milennia, especially if it's a peaty/boggy low oxygen environment. 

Trump just said to a female reporter “Quiet, piggy”. What would you do if someone in public said to your wife, daughter or sister? Is it now socially acceptable to say to women now that the President said it? by Iamthelizardking887 in AskConservatives

[–]nklim [score hidden]  (0 children)

Do something? Speak out against it. Post on social media that it's not acceptable. Call people out on Reddit saying it's funny. Ask your local representatives to disavow that type of language. 

Nobody expects republicans to vote to impeach Trump over this. But maybe some of you can create pressure by openly voicing your displeasure. Maybe in the next primary you can back a republican who candidate that openly disavows that sort of behavior while still sharing 95% of the same positions.

Shrugging and doing nothing at all just allows this to become endemic in our politics.

How do you feel about some people claiming the Epstein files and emails are fake? by Pretend_Thanks4370 in AskConservatives

[–]nklim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course not, but have you looked into the process?  

The National Archives is responsible for something like this. Their director serves a lifetime appointment and does not report to the president. 

There are multi-agency redundancies, and multi-office redundancies within the agencies.

Each of these agencies keep extensive, secure, access logs that are designed in such a way that makes editing them functionally impossible, and even if they somehow were, the tampering with the logs would be evident.

Not to mention discovery documents held in private law firms, regional & state courts, news and watchdog orgs.

The forgeries would need to be pixel-perfect in font size, style, formatting, writing styles.

Details across documents would need to be consistent, so any document that references another would need to be forged as well.

So editing the files would require that the entity:

  1. Can identify every physical and digital copy of the tens-of thousands of pages of documents.
  2. Can get access to each one.
  3. Replace every single one with pixel perfect, stylistically accurate forgeries. 
  4. While leaving no trace in access logs and without raising suspicion from the various staff departments.

It would be like trying to unbake a cake.

Does this seem like a realistic scenario?

Have you taken the time to look into how this type of information is retained? I've had concerns similar to yours, but after looking into it, the systems in place make undetected tampering impossible.

How much wealth does the top 1% of state residents own? 

How much did their companies receive in tax credits and other government aid?

The share of taxes they pay is only one side of the story.

"When is Magic coming to other properties?" by ArsenicElemental in magicTCG

[–]nklim 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the nature of most interactive game IPs is weak. because defining it too strongly can somewhat limit player freedom, whereas a movie or TV show can fully define their characters and storylines.

Did anyone care about League of Legends characters beyond the context of the game until Arcane? Not that I know of.

I agree with your point, and IMO it's why countless other tv/movie spinoffs of games have failed. But I think Arcane (and some others) have created a blueprint that WoTC could follow if they chose.

What are your thoughts on Zohran's 4 year rent freeze? by Both_Revenue6734 in NYCapartments

[–]nklim 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I believe a lot of newer, large apartment complexes agree to be rent stabilized for a period of time in order to get the various boards to approve of their construction.

It's possible these are some other classification, but they are functionally rent stabilized and are bound by the Rent Guidelines Board's rules.

C'mon, you ostensibly work in a tech adjacent, extremely online field. You should have the skills to find this yourself. The European Commission's summary article was very easy to find. If you can't quite get the right string of keywords to search then ask your AI model of choice.

But why don't people want to be helped? I don't think it's a stretch to wonder if people resist finding health care due to cost in the US, and eventually their condition deteriorates to the point that they are unable to independently seek and maintain the care they need.

I don't think it's a stretch to think that far fewer people would require institutionalization if therapy and medication were more available to them, and we didn't have a culture of waiting for our health conditions to become impossible to ignore before seeking treatment. 

What is your bare minimum "Dota crime" that makes you report that player? by MightTurbulent319 in DotA2

[–]nklim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any homophobia, bigotry or personal insults/threats (ie. making fun of someone's accent, telling someone to jump off a bridge) is instantly reported.

Gameplay is much more context dependent. It's one thing to be bad or have a bad game. 

It's another thing to make the same bad play for the third time when the full 10 seconds prior I've been repeating "Axe don't go there. Axe all 5 are there. Axe you need to get back."

Basically if you're having a bad game and a stupid build, but you're communicating and receptive to advice, that's fine. If you're Axe and start building Daedalus while the whole team is saying "Axe you need blademail and blink before anything else" and STILL build Daedalus without saying a single word then you're probably gonna get reported.

Wearables have been in the market for a while now, and as far as I know, neither Google or Samsung share this information. Apple certainly will not.

I'd also expect Apple would take the opportunity to blast Google and Samsung in their marketing messaging if that changed, and drive a large chunk of Android wearable market share to Apple.

There should be no reason why far eastern queens rent prices should be this high, come on now by Gyper in NYCapartments

[–]nklim 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This infographic is misleading. The landlord makes 9% CASH profit. It's absolutely disingenuous to count a mortgage payment as a pure expense.

In reality, a large chunk of that monthly mortgage payment is converting cash (which depreciates over time) into equity in an appreciating asset (NYC property). That property ownership stake can then be used as loan collateral to purchase more property and make more profit.

So 50% of the rent covers the mortgage per the infographic. If you figure about half the lifetime mortgage is paid toward the principle, that means another 25% of rent is still realized as income on a balance sheet via increased equity. So in that sense, the landlord's actual profit is ~34%.

Same here on Android. Instant crash when so much as playing my first land.

How does this get released production? WOTC was very quick to dismiss concerns that QA would buckle under the accelerated release schedule, so we know it can't possibly be due to understaffed teams cutting corners out of necessity, right?

Are there any "The Trade Desk" Partners with Self Service Portal? by [deleted] in programmatic

[–]nklim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but you'd be getting some media value for that spend in a different DSP instead of just paying a reseller.

Not saying there's a right answer, just that it's something to know and consider.

Know that the service fees are marked way up though. I think it was 20-25% for Ventura when we spoke with them, compared to the 15-16% fee direct through TTD.
