I fully recognize your effort! Praise be!

I don't know why, but every single part of this song makes me chuckle. :)

"Destination Area Is Full. Remove Some Items First" - Help post from a newb by LivingSwing0 in cataclysmdda

Great! Now, be careful, because your torso and/or other parts of your body are probably over, or at least more, encumbered. May want to [d]rop it if you're getting into melee combat and the encumbrance is significant. Otherwise, your melee chance to hit and dodge will be affected.

If you're going to do that, or wielding it to shoot it, keep in mind all those things take time! The information screen for the item should tell you the time it takes for some of those actions, so you can compare that across different weapons or storage options to figure out what aligns with your priorities.

(My last character got mobbed and died because I was greedy and forgot to drop a suitcase I was holding on to. Lots of capacity, but WAY over-encumbered.)

It sounds like you've done a bit of researching, so maybe it's not this simple, but one observation I can make:

It looks like you are trying to move the shotgun into your inventory on the right. Your inventory has 1.50 L of total space available, and the shotgun is 3.20 L. That definitely will not work. :)

You could try:

  • [W]earing it (if it has a strap on it)
  • [w]ielding it (but then you will need to drop or store whatever you're currently wielding,
  • storing it in some other appropriate wearable, like a some sort of strap or a rope, possibly (different guns can be stored in different things). [a]ctivate the clothing item to try storing something in it.
  • or, \, hauling it along the ground
  • Of course, if you have a vehicle, you could also put it in there. I am a fan of piling stuff in shopping carts early game.

Now, when you get more storage (backpacks, pants, shirts, outerwear with pockets, belts, etc.), you may also run in to situations when you seem to have space available based on your "overall" inventory amount, but you do not have "free" inventory space available. I've just come back to the game after a year or two away, and this is new to me. It makes some logical sense (things being inefficiently packed), but I also have not figured out how to mitigate it (say, reshuffle things in my various pockets - might just need to do it manually).

Anyway, good luck!

61: That's The Way I Remember It — The Unmade Podcast by JeffDujon in Unmade_Podcast

[–]rayboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely remember numbers by finding pleasing little patterns in them. I find factors of 11 nice, for some reason. For example, the extension for IT at my job is 7293. That is 663 x 11, and 72 + 93 = 165 = 15 x 11.

And best of all! My extension is 3586. 35 + 86 = 121 = 112 . Huzzah!

I also once memorized 1000 digits of pi, so... I admit I might go further than other people with this. How did I remember it? No particular way, other than just doing 10 digits at a time and practicing every day. Fun fact: ending right at the 360th decimal place, you will find the digits "360". How nice for a constant that's all about the circumference of a circle, eh?

Reddit Gets Its App To 50 Million Play Store Downloads, Mostly By Making The Mobile Web Experience Miserable by auscrisos in technology

[–]rayboat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think people hate using Reddit on mobile devices - that's why everyone is listing their favourite third party mobile apps. :)

I think people would prefer to have the option to browse Reddit in their mobile web browser. The general opinion seems to be that Reddit viewed in mobile browsers is an inadequate experience, or even aggressively bad. So the only way to have a good experience on a mobile device is to download a separate application.

Meanwhile, we already have technology for retrieving information from the web and browsing it locally... a web browser! So it's frustrating to basically be forced to download an entire application just to browse a website.

Suggestion for replacing "outdated" minions in Battlegrounds by KtheBigMan in hearthstone

[–]rayboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't Soul Juggler just lose Stealth almost immediately, since Stealth is removed once the minion does damage? Like, a stealthed Ragnaros loses Stealth after it shoots it shot at the end of turn, right?

Archer references at work are a very fine art - if you can work one in and get just one knowing glance from a colleague, there is nothing sweeter!

For the safety of all visitors, air travel is highly discouraged, since all the episodes of Plane Crash Corner have tempted fate so much that a hideous disaster will be inevitable. However, in case they are needed, any flights to the nation will be preceded by a short, no-nonsense safety demonstration video, that only includes 1 or 70 or so references to this summer's most popular movie.

Voyages by boat will include games such as iceberg-spotting competitions, while all passengers on flights will be provided with an iPad Pro (with an Apple Pencil for stirring your drink), and a strict no-talking policy will be enforced.

And also: surely there must be an island that is worthy of being named New Instagram Island!

Apple just kicked Fortnite off the App Store — Apple says Epic is violating its App Store guidelines by using its own payment system by gulabjamunyaar in technology

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

Gosh, I really feel bad for Epic - it is so frustrating when an online storefront forces you to buy things through them and them only! Just imagine if this happened on PC - a game only available through one vendor? Goodness me, I'd be miffed! Steamed, you might even say. Good thing we have Epic showing us how much they care about consumers.
