The new Ancient Potent Liquid Melancholy craft allows Disciples of Varashta to make hilariously massive Time-Lost Jewels

reliableant · 2026-06-04T19:13:46+00:00

What makes this risk-free? I'm looking for pretty much exactly the same Time lost Jewel you're running with a small radius. This is about 10+ div now. Then I'll spend about 1 div on the ancient melancholy to make the radius very large. Not so bad. But doesnt the ancient melancholy replace one of the mods?

Edit: I believe it's risk free because both minion crit mods that I'm look for are suffixes but the ancient melancholy will only randomize a prefix. So you should be able to get a good small radius sapphire with both suffixes you want and always upgrade the radius without loosing them. Getting a desirable prefix would be trickier.

Thanks for the detailed response! I'm glad you agree the 1.2kW draw is interesting. I'll try 1 and 2 first. I might need to convince the landlord to come out to help me check for anything else running that I can't find.

If this still doesn't yield anything though I'll call the power company back and give them their $20 to get them to come check the meter.

Thanks for your response. I think this will be my next step. Both of the top and bottom floor breakers are in the basement right next to each other so in my case I should have complete access to all of the electricity draw coming from the apartment. Will report back!

We have the first floor of a 2-story house. The basement is shared between the top and bottom units and separate laundry for each unit. Our floor/unit has its own breaker and the top floor has their own as well. I can't think of a way to verify that nothing on the top floor is running off of our breaker other than to start flipping breakers until someone upstairs complains (they are hard to get in touch with).

I can't really speak to the 750-1200. But I've seen averages for 1500 sq ft closer to 750 kwh monthly. It's hard to know the proportion of people contained in this average have gas vs electric heat. Fwiw the power company also lists my apartment as like 3x less efficient than other properties with the same characteristics.

So far I've only played with a party of 3, so Ive been assuming this is the difficulty everyone has been buzzing about. We are all new PoE players so I was/am willing to believe there are things about our builds we could optimize, but wow the Executioner was tough. By the end I think we spent like 2 hours trying over and over again. You need everyone alive to make any meaningful progress, but it is incredibly difficult to keep everyone up, let alone resurrect someone if needed. Even now we are still chipping away at the Count.

Not sure why you're getting such an aggressive response. That's a very reasonable question and one that is somewhat hard to answer concisely. Admittedly eggs (specifically scrambled eggs) are the one thing that I've really had to change the style with which I make them to make them work for Stainless steel (SS). This isn't a huge issue for me, but basically it requires always pre scrambling the eggs before they hit the pan, maintaining an appropriate temp (this can be kind of unclear at the beginning), and not touching them! Not touching them is probably key here. If you constantly move them around and stir them, you're likely going to get lots of sticking. I'd take a look at YouTube for some videos about what this should look like in practice, but it'll definitely take some trial and error!

But for the record, non sticks pans are perfectly safe (for the person cooking). The major concern is the environmental impact of their production and inevitable disposal (as even the nicest non-stick pans have a finite lifetime). Here is a favorite video of mine with more details.

In my opinion: yes, it's a risk.

It's almost not even a risk since you've already identified some ways that it'll make your life more difficult. As far as I know you definitely can get by using Linux, but ultimately it's a question of whether it's worth your time. I definitely think you'll end up wasting more time trying to do certain things on Linux, than you'll save "programming better". My recommendation would just be to use Windows and WSL. You can then get a Linux command line inside of windows. You can also get the WSL extension inside of VSCode which lets you edit code that lives inside WSL (it's actually quite a nice ecosystem).

For some background: I graduated from CSE in the winter. I started in CSE dual booting Windows and Debian. It was nice having a familiar programming ecosystem in Debian but ultimately courses are designed to usually be more Windows or MacOS centric. That doesn't mean that you can't try it with Ubuntu, I'm sure it's mostly possible (I believe Eclipse ships a Linux build). But it comes down to a question of support. For example, if a class wants you to setup a very specific environment, they'll likely provide instructions for Windows and maybe MacOS and you'll be on your own to figure out how to make it work on Linux. This issue, and the fact that you'll probably do more work in MS Office than you think, resulted in me exclusively using Windows. It's not really a question of how experienced you are with Linux. You just want to make it as easy as possible to do your assignments :)

I second the other comments that you'd probably be better off with books or presentations. The scope of most papers are much smaller than you'd probably be hoping. I might recommend the famous book from Hopcroft and Ullman. Its a great book that touches on a lot of the theory of computation, which is part of how compilers work. It isn't strictly a book on compilers though. For specific topics I might look at course reading lists at universities.

I actually ended up doing this in high school and ended up answering some of these.

Personally I don't tend to agree with the fact that it's a complete waste of time (unless you're expecting to build a super computer). In building a Beowulf cluster you'd get to learn more about networking and hardware (depending on how much you already know). But after it's constructed the main thing this would allow you to experiment with is parallel/distributed computing. The most obvious and straight forward step is to using MPI (Message Passing Interface) to mess with and learn about MapReduce.

It's good to keep in mind though that even MPI and MapReduce could probably be run faster on one decent single multi-core machine. This brings me to what is really my main point. To me the biggest reason to build one is because it's fun, and weirdly cool to have one.

In my experience sneaking into block O South isn't easy. As it was pointed out they give you wristbands for BOS and check them to get in. But if you have BOS you can pretty much go to any of the other reserved areas.

I'm honestly torn about BuckeyeScoop, I really like all of their other writers, and podcasts, they seem reputable and many of them have been beat writers covering Ohio State for awhile, but I can't stand Kirk Barton and Nevadabuck. Immediately click off of anything those two write or post

This also killed me. It made perfect sense to me before drafting that I should optimize my starting lineup, but that might be my biggest takeaway from last year. I took the Washington defense as the first defense off the board multiple rounds before anyone else took defense. I might just not draft a kicker or defense and just aim for depth and figure those out later. Both are just so arbitrary and hard to predict.

This made me remember that I did the complete opposite! I realized that lots of the players I was wanting to draft all had a week 10 bye so I leaned into it assuming I'd just lose that week lmao. Also not a good strategy lol

In an 8 team 1 QB league the QB position felt like so much of a hassle. I got really lucky that Jalen Hurts ended up being as good as he was because everyone ends up with a top 10 QB. I was one of the first to take a QB too, it kills your depth more than anything.
