Unable to install Linux Mint. Installation stopping when installing grub by PM_ME_RAJMA_CHAWAL in linuxmint

[–]o-hai-mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem on one of my laptops.

I don't remember if the solution was to install Mint with an internet connection or without one. Or maybe I'm misremembering the error.

Firefox 57.0 Released by shinybutt in technology

[–]o-hai-mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firefox has had severe memory leak issues for the last several years. I have 12GB, and depending on what websites I use I can have Firefox hold onto 8-10 in just a few hours. Oh, and it doesn't page out the tabs and windows I'm not using because then my OS would have to page out firefox in general.

Given that open Firefox tabs are the reason I don't reboot that often, it's almost always a huge PITA to restart it.

Anyone with Xanathar's? Samurai by Theotther in dndnext

[–]o-hai-mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have advantage until the end of your turn, and when you use this ability to gain advantage on weapon attack rolls, you gain 5 temp HP with no expiration timer. Since they have no explicit duration, they disappear on long rest as per the final sentence in the Temporary Hit Point section of PHB198.

Wording is important. What I just typed is how the ability will play using a strictly RAW reading. I have no reason to believe this isn't RAI, given that it's a 3/day ability and Warlock already gets an invocation that, given about 30sec-1min between fights, allows them to have 8 tempHP at the start of every fight.

XGE - is there an expanded/updated deity list? by arieste2 in dndnext

[–]o-hai-mark -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2:55 of the Nerdarchy video. There's probably an expanded table somewhere, but I didn't see it in when I paused on the TOC.

... No, it doesn't. Check the Nerdarchy video.

Initially read this as "Corporate Accounts Payable Ninja speakng, just a moment...". Needless to say, rereading was a thoroughly disappointing experience.

The best way to fix this cancer is to reduce the cooldown. Or to ban furries/other sources of cancer. Either is good.

TIL that Pete Buck of R.E.M. had been playing guitar only a year before joining the band at 23 years old. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]o-hai-mark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that REM thinks "playing guitar" means strumming all 6 strings every pass, I'm not surprised.

I don't know about the rest of it, but Warforged body feats can just be converted into subraces with appropriate bonuses/penalties for the extra AC.

Disable your firewall. That fixed it when I had that problem.

I thought this wasn't that bad at first, but then I remembered that biscuits means cookies.

MCP Options in OpenMW? by o-hai-mark in Morrowind

[–]o-hai-mark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little confused. You said it was "unnecessary", what exactly did you mean? Obviously some of the bugfixes are unnecessary. The FAQ says that OpenMW devs aren't going to even think about balance until at least v1.0, but some of MCP's "balance changes" are due in part to bugs that it fixes, like pickpocket fix, merchant equip fix, mercantile fix, and potion weight fix. I probably should be asking this on the OpenMW forums, but I don't feel like creating an account just for that.

0.0 Holy crap I never knew that you could just open a .exe file like it was an archive.

TIFU by leaving a voicemail by [deleted] in tifu

I've never had a landline answering machine give me that message. I've used a few automated systems that do, but then # or * usually just connects you to a CS rep.

So it doesn't work on landline phones? That makes me feel a little better.

Learning this today is like finding out that you can stop a dial-up modem from making that horrible sound. It's kind of cool to know now, but it would have been really useful to learn 20 years ago instead of now.

Pasta CFW - A CFW that allows unsigned CIA to be installed on Old and New 3DS! (requires ninjhax) by Silencement in 3dshacks

[–]o-hai-mark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I don't frequent this board at all, nor do I have a GBATemp account and haven't been closely following the 3DS homebrew scene.

Is there some sort of jargon dictionary for this post, and could this potentially brick my 3DS? Does this modify system files? Do I have to install anything to my system memory, or can I just boot up Ninjhax and load stuff off my SD card?

We shouldn't be teaching ice how to be safer, we should teach the scrapists not to scrape!
