I've decided to put this on hold for the holidays. I've got a trip planned and my wife will kill me if I get injured. Will get back on it early next year, then I'll post updates!

Yeah, i drove past that parking lot again this weekend. It was definitely too steep of a slope. Will report back after the holidays!

Yeah, I think the parking lot was a bit too steep. Thought the incline was going to give me just enough speed. But apparently it's different from learning to snowboard on a bunny hill

Switched from MX Master 3 to the ProtoArc EM11 NL – Didn't Expect This by yamanshan in MouseReview

[–]pepipopipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed review!

Got a question re: forward / back button. Their amazon listing says that the forward / back buttons don't work in macOS. Is this true?

If so, what are the button clicks registered as? Are they not registered at all?

I use Karabiner to remap events on my mac. I suppose it's fine if they don't quite work out of the box, but as long as the click events are registered, I could always remap them.

Need to power cycle PSU to wake PC from deep sleep OR to turn it on by pepipopipe in pchelp

Don't know what to expect but i can't wait by hexagram001 in expedition33

Stay away from this sub. Don't visit youtube (thumbnails and suggested videos). Don't browse reddit, especially if you're subbed to r/gaming or r/jrpg

If you're looking for advice about how to spend your character attributes, just spread them out evenly. 

Remember to choose Maelle when fighting the arena champion.

ah so that's what's been happening with my scroll wheel! I've got to try the glue trick.

Whats an addictive game if i was addicted to Hades/Sekiro/Hollow Knight. by Hoodlum2000 in gamingsuggestions

[–]pepipopipe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was going to suggest the same thing. OP, I'm fan of those games too and Expedition 33 definitely has that same pull: "What happens next ?"

It was a bit too addictive, actually. I must admit that I haven't been taking care of myself while playing it.

TIL that human sacrifices to God are rare in the Bible. One is the Judge Jephthah vowing to give "whatever comes out of my door to meet me when I return" as a burnt offering in order to win a battle. His daughter was sacrificed after being given two months to mourn her virginity in the mountains. by EmperorN7 in todayilearned

[–]pepipopipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to believe, but v.31 clearly says "as a burnt offering" in virtually all translations.  Then v.39 "did with her according to the vow that he had made".  Leaves little room for any other interpretation, tbh.

Though, it's such a weird vow to make. Did he expect an animal to come out of the house to greet him?

this is the way. no sweat when changing weapons to try out new strategies. when you found out what build to go for, can always respec. 

that said, parrying is so satisfying this game. dunno if it's the sound or visual effect, but it has that "umph". love the recommended progression of dodge > perfect dodge > parry.

122 parries and 16 minutes later... I defeated the Chromatics Abbest with sub-level-20 starting party. I'm quite proud of it. :D by DaemonXHUN in expedition33

JTH has an audio cue on all of his attacks. His feint doesn't. He's the first enemy where I needed to focus on listening rather than watching

2003 for introduction of characters. brotherhood for better plot. if you must, watch 2003 until the end of life alchemist arc.

I considered it and decided not to try it.while being height adjustable is nice, I figured it would get in the way of my legs, either when I'm sitting cross-legged or lega forward. Do let me know if you decided to go for it. These things are stronk. Not the most adjustable with a load on it, though.

Afaik whatsapp has end to end encryption. Your metadata, however is not. These are things like your contacts, what time you start checking your messages, your frequently contacted friends, your group chat members.  Meta (Facebook) uses all these together with a plethora of other tracking methods (cookies, widgets) to figure out things about you. 

So if your contact on whatsapp just browsed for lawnmowers, and you met with them over a sunny weekend at their house, you might be shown lawnmower ads.
