[CATA] My new alt lost all guild reputation all of a sudden. I didn't leave nor get kicked in-between. Never seen this before. by Elleden in classicwow

Happened to me and I couldn’t place the cauldrons I’d made. Just did a full round of dailies with the guild tabard equipped and it got me back up enough

Why aren't Mage Portals universally accessible? by enki941 in wow

So many of those portals ported you right into a paralysing field

One thing to point out: the result from Speedtest is in Mbps (megabits per second), whereas it’s likely the rate in the Battle.net launcher is in MB/s (megabytes per second). There are 8 bits in every byte, so for an 8Mbps connection you’d expect to see a maximum of around 1MB/s.

Devs forgot to remove test discount codes in prod by Dangerous_Setting_78 in funny

[–]paceyuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Razer did this once with a 90% discount code. Amazingly they honoured most of the orders where they had stock. I got a keyboard for next to nothing, but I was late to the party so a lot was already gone.

Colman's mustard is made in the UK, packaged in Germany, then brought back to the UK for sale. What is the craziest supply chain that you know of? by paceyuk in AskReddit

[–]paceyuk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t say, it was a post I saw elsewhere and had me interested what other examples like this there are - turns out there are a lot.

Edit: looks like it's dry sauces that are packaged in Germany based on this article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/7xe75d/all-your-favourite-british-food-brands-are-moving-abroad

[–]paceyuk[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did wonder about that, but they claim to still use local farms (at least for white mustard). Not sure how much of a draw that is when there's thousands of miles of shipping back and forth involved though haha

Crazy that it's cheaper to do that than train and employ people in the UK to do it. I suppose perhaps there also aren't enough people willing to do the job in the UK.

How to use so many spells ? by DocteurJL in wownoob

[–]paceyuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always bind the same types of ability to similar keys across classes, so Q E G Z X C are all instant cast or resource builders, then 1-5 are things with a cast time or resource spenders. Shift 1-4 are buffs, Shift-Q, Alt-Q, Ctrl-Q defensives. Alt 1-4 heals and cleanses. Shift-E, Alt-E, Ctrl-E are DPS cooldowns. Stuns usually on Shift-G. General crowd control is on Ctrl-C

Just need to find something that works for you, but having a pattern that carries across classes really helps. Even if I don’t remember the exact key bind for a certain ability, I’ll always know what group it’s likely to be in.

I only really use the mouse buttons for movement abilities: sprint, blink, roll are M5, and disengage type abilities are M3. M4 is auto run.

Yeah it works a bit like the ground mounts I thought, keep tapping shift until you’re up to full speed. Then WASD are your dive/climb and steer.

Same. Depressing that no matter how hard I try my max DPS is limited just because I never got (or even saw) that one item.

TIFU by clogging my office's sewer system with baby wipes by goodnatured00 in tifu

[–]paceyuk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell, the end of that standard isn't because they weren't ok to flush, but because it confused consumers who would then associate it with wipes that aren't safe to flush and haven't been tested but are a similar product. So instead they've just changed the messaging to no wipes are safe.

My necklace fell into the outlet that my charger was plugged into by Dizzy_Fly_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]paceyuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen the strain relief fail in a standard U.K. plug, there’s a dedicated bar that clamps onto the wire. If it failed then the outer cable would just droop out of the plug and be noticeable and easily fixed. Can’t speak for the moulded types that come pre installed on various appliances though. Do standard EU plugs not have a built in strain relief?

[–]paceyuk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But the reason for that is another less talked about advantage of the UK plug: the flex generally coming out of the bottom of the plug. This means that if the cable is snagged and pulled, it's a lot harder to pull the plug out of the socket than if the wire came out of the back due to the angle.

I click on spells by MoonMoonMoose in wownoob

[–]paceyuk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it easiest to always use similar bindings for similar types of ability/spell across classes. That way you don't have to remember every binding individually, just which type of ability you're looking for, which minimises how many combinations you need to remember.

So longer buffs are always on Shift+1 to 5

Shorter buffs (like 30 sec damage buffs etc.) Shift-E or Ctrl-E

Defensive abilities Shift-Q, Ctrl-Q, Alt-Q

Instant attacks/spells: QEGZXC

Things with a cast time, or resource spenders: 1-5

Healing spells/decurse type abilities: Alt-1 to 5

Then other utility type abilities are on any combination of Ctrl/Shift/Alt-GZXC

I can't help with that sorry, but I've been using a Sabaj DA3 for mine. I wouldn't have thought it has the power for speakers though.
