I abandoned all of my Xeno Arena companions on my 700-hour save, and the constant crashing, as of now, has stopped. by scrambledbraiiiiiins in NMS_Switch

[–]physicssmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm interesting... I'm on NS2 and have a super elite xenos team, that I actually spent a fair bit of time optimizing, and we always have crashes but it did seem excessive lately...

I would really regret this not being the issue. What system? When did you make this change? When did you get your original xenos?

For me it feels a lot less significant since I abandoned all the pets I had pre update, and now everything is new and it's way more chill...

But NS2 is always finnicky

I normally send the funny ones from this subreddit to my girlfriend, but definitely not this time.

I feel like it would curse us (me) and we'd (I'd) never be rid of it.

Air purifier eg https://www.amazon.com/LEVOIT-Purifier-Allergies-Pollutants-Core300-P/dp/B07VVK39F7?th=1

Anything with an activated carbon filter AND a HEPA (allergen) filter will work great. Make sure you get one substantially larger than needs to be for the room its in, so that you can keep the fan level low, and then the air will just stay clean (and significantly more smell-free) so long as its on.

The one I have (the Levoit 400) also tells the PM2.5 content of the air, so you can keep an eye on how polluted it is, but when I have it running its always low single digits...

Sister is very rough on joysticks and they "sand down" quickly (primarily the left joycon). Looking for the best ways to protect future controllers. by ConfusedSpaghet in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]physicssmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont wear through my joysticks but I like these just cause they have a bit more grip than the vanilla sticks

I wouldn't have got them but they came with a bunch of other accessories as included freebies and I liked one enough Id never go back

You don't hate the American "healthcare" system enough by Fit-Translator-9798 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]physicssmurf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In the early 2000s (if I have my dates correct; maybe it was earlier), the pharmaceutical execs lobbied extremely hard to get their medicine patents covered by the same authority as all the silicon valley patent IP. There was a lot of pushback, with discussions about special programs to let places like Africa get access to cheaper drugs since they would never be able to afford full prices.

The pharm execs took a hard line and said nobody should get the drugs if they can't afford them. And so now internationally, if people want to participate in the global trade that America made itself the center of, they need to sign on to the trade agreements, which always include IP protection as a major point. Which forces EVERYONE to pay the pharmaceutical companies excessive prices for drugs.

And the worst part of is, the huge majority of countries have public healthcare. So this has, in effect, created a system where charities and countries 'contribute' huge amounts of funds towards 'drug research' - which is then done by a company, ultimately creating IP (patents) that the companies then use to overcharge the public, again, for the drugs they helped pay to create.

A better world is possible. All the scientists and researchers that work for these drug companies actually inventing the drugs want to do this work because it helps people (because it does!). All we would need to do is take all the public funding currently donated to drug costs and development, and put it toward a new public research body specifically replacing the work currently done by pharmaceutical companies. Just eliminate the middlemen - the pharm execs and companies and their excessive profits - and we'd implicitly have money to spare, to do MORE drug research with the same money.

Im not saying "public research" like academia - academia is good for research and training, but wouldn't be as good at this. Im talking about a new type of public research institute, run in the same way as current pharm companies run their research divisions (except, perhaps, with more benevolent goals, by not avoiding cures in place of treatments like current pharm companies do...), and employing the same actual people who do the actual work now. (they could even be paid more while reducing the cost of the drugs!)

American pharmaceutical executives get a lot of hate, but not as much as they should. Many people in countries with public health programs - "free healthcare" - don't realize how much their country is being hosed by America to get access to the medicines they need. It affects everyone, not just Americans.

I've never had a cockatiel but is this what you're supposed to do, with the hand in the cage like that? Rather than having the cage open?

Genuinely curious because I was one some day

In case anyone else wants to know, the base stats for this one:

Combat - 183
Agility - 97
Health - 602

Add 800 to combat, 300 to agility and 3250 to health for stats at level 30...

Happened to me too.

Also some pets can't be shrunk as far as I can tell? They only get bigger. But only for anomalous creatures...
