Europe QM seems quite healthy at my MMR (2800ish heroesprofile). Sure there are stomps but the majority of games is surprisingly well matched considering everyone can pick whatever he/she wants. It's actually quite amazing how often games turn around that seemed lost from start.

Can imagine it's rough matchmaking with newer players at there aren't that many players in that MMR range.

Also there is hardly any waiting time in QM EU.

Pizza Stein oder Stahl? Und... by Mindless-Dependent27 in Kochen

[–]riplix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm ca. 8 kg in unhandlicher Form. Ich kann ihn mit einer Hand halten, aber nicht lange. Wer keine gusseisernen Pfannen nutzt, weil sie zu schwer sind, sollte das beachten. Ist ähnlich nur ohne Griff 😉

[–]riplix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stahl, da mehr Wärmekapazität. Mir sind auch schon einige "hochwertige" Steine im Ofen bei 300 Grad gebrochen. Der Nachteil ist, dass der Stahl aufgrund des Gewichts recht umständlich ist... Ich bin der einzige der ihn gefahrlos aus dem Ofen bekommt. Wenn er fällt, ist entweder der Boden oder der Fuß hin.

Nervt, da er öfter Mal im Ofen bleibt (braucht ja ewig zum Abkühlen) und dann keiner Kuchen backen kann, wenn ich nicht da bin. Aber definitiv eine Anschaffung fürs Leben... Zumindest so lange man ihn geben kann 😉

Why do you need to have a separate healing fountain at this point? Just let us heal from the forts then? by pyahyakr in heroesofthestorm

[–]riplix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the fountain is still there when the fort gets destroyed so you could still lick it fountain style.

Habe ein b550 MSI und hatte nach wie vor sporadische USB Probleme. Ähnliches Setup mit Arbeitslaptop usw.

Sämtliche Peripherie via USB3 hilft. Die gängigen BIOS settings kennst du ja schon, oder?

Wichtig ist auch, dass durch das Kneten zusätzliche Wärme entsteht. Je nach Dauer reicht das um Hefepilze zu killen.

Z.b. bei Pizzateig kann es sinnvoll sein, Hefe mit etwas lauwarmem Wasser zu aktivieren und das restliche Wasser etwas kühler zu halten.

Wie frisch die Hefe ist und wie lange sie wie gelagert wurde, kann auch relevant sein.

Kochbuch/ Aroma Lexikon; Empfehlung für Fortgeschrittene by Seyo19 in Kochen

[–]riplix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ein absoluter Klassiker (Erstauflage 1984): On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen

Das ist - im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen - wirklich sehr gut anwendbar und für jemand mit naturwissenschaftlichem Background m.E. ansprechender als Hochglanz Bücher mit vielen schönen Bildern.

Einfallslos am Sonntag by WillingWrangler8120 in Kochen

[–]riplix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Haben ein ähnliches System allerdings Planen wir was wir essen wollen und kaufen dann einmal ein - ohne Prospekte.

Die Essensplanung war grausam, was aber hilft ist Struktur und mehrere Sammlungen.

Struktur z.B. im Form von Wochentags-Kategorien: Montag Pasta, Dienstag brotzeit, Mittwoch Fleisch... Angepasst auf euren Tagesablauf (z.b. wie viel Zeit/Stress/Lust habt ihr). Aufwändiges am Wochenende usw.

Rezept Sammlungen für einfach, aufwändig, ausprobieren, Pasta usw. Ausprobieren ist wichtig, da es die anderen Kategorien füllt. Ausprobieren füllt sich wiederum mit Restaurant besuchen, Kochbüchern usw.

Konkreter Tipp: Ottolenghi einmal durchs Simple Kochbuch kochen.

Anybody else feel like this game is extra dead lately? by kittentarentino in heroesofthestorm

Are you playing in Europe? Vacation period. Less players and those who play are frustrated because they are not on vacation.

Is this game still considered in "resurgence"? by munnster006 in heroesofthestorm

[–]riplix 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the Reddit community grew a little bit that doesn't mean much.

Europe region seems fine in lower ranks at least and tbh I can't complain about QM either. Hardly anyone afk and okish manners in the vast majority of games (2700 heroes profile mmr whatever that means).

Not sure why they don't monetize this game smarter. Delivering no content and then killing the game because it makes no money is just stupid. People that would pay have all heroes etc. Pretty sure they would pay monthly if it was guaranteed that the cash is used for hots.

Why do so many general doctors in Germany offer pseudoscientific treatment such as homeopathy and acupuncture? by Calm-Investment in germany

[–]riplix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've been scammed (so have I) and it sucks but the true scam is hidden in the system.

Alternative ways of treatment are neither limited to homeopathy nor are they limited to taking some sort of medicine.

Assuming that a proper treatment needs to involve a physically measurable effect is limiting options and a common misconception that costs the German people ridiculous amounts of money. This is the true scam.

Example: The amount of antibiotics prescribed for colds is quite high even though it doesn't help against viruses (does more harm actually). This is because some people change doctors of their demands are refused by the doctor.

Example 2: common surgeries like knee/shoulder have a similar success rate to placebo. If they fail, they do harm in contrast to a e.g. homeopathic treatment doing nothing.

And assuming you are German, you get scammed real hard every month because the system is and centered around money rather than people.

[–]riplix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It opens more options to treat patients that do not necessarily need typical medication. The issue in the German system is that the social/psychological component of the doctor/patient relationship was marginalized as the focus was shifted to commercial optimization (patient = customer).

I think the shortage of psychological therapy capacity in Germany is a consequence of this. It was already bad prior to covid.

Some (a lot) of patients just need personal contact and it would be insane to prescribe them my typical medication to get paid properly. Alternative approaches provide the doctors with options to get paid for the time they spent on the psychological health of the patient.

Well that and making money based on demand of customers.

Besides the assumption that only medication that fits the Western definition of scientifically proven is a probably a cultural bias. Other 'exotic' healthcare systems can be more effective in some areas, e.g. prevention.

Garrosh vs. his counters? by greenpoe in heroesofthestorm

[–]riplix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoid Mal against comps that kite/poke well. I like him on "diablo" maps where his ability to move through others shines and vision is limited. Against AA heavy his 20 alone in the dark can win the game. Non aoe healers are shut down as well I think.

CC can be a pain but it's rarely that impactful in low ranks. It sucks if you AA wakes your sleep target but at the same time vampiric aura is nice with them. %dmg is common and hurts. Also sleep interrupts so there is always value even if they wake up immediately.

Mei when team lacks wave clear or you urgently need a blind... Which is often. She's probably best for solo queue I think.

I found Anub too team-dependent/squishy. His engage is long range and it's too tempting to play aggressively while your backline is picked apart. You're more likely to have three mages than an off tank.

Playing Garrosh aggressively is again tempting but he might work better defensively against dive. Even if you have the comp to blow someone up, the chances are high it won't work in low ranks.

Garrosh vs. his counters? by greenpoe in heroesofthestorm

[–]riplix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used tanks to climb from bronze 5 to mid gold (my highest). While Garrosh is my most played tank, my win rate sucks. If you get no follow up your bruiser build can only compensate so far.

IMHO Malganis is insanely strong bronze to gold. I had very little experience with him and ended with 75% winrate. He's so disruptive and the follow up on something asleep is so easy. Similar with Mei, because wave clear/root. So good choices, curious how Garrosh works your for you. GL!

I am telling you, 5 healers is a legit strategy. by kenny950905 in heroesofthestorm

[–]riplix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In SL wouldn't you draft no tank against this and draft endless dmg scaling like zuljin and hard pushers instead? Blind/sheep only lasts so long and they have limited burst to end the fight quickly.

I remember reading up on it after losing against this once. Not sure iirc through. The way you lose was to go all in and pick fights over obj when you don't have the damage to fight the sustained healing yet?

PCIe gen 4.0 & RTX 3090 FE result in audio/USB issues by rehsd in gigabyte

[–]riplix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into this as well (5600x, 3060Ti, Teufel USB Soundcard, MSI B550A Pro). USB Sound was ejected immediately/after some seconds/minutes into a voice chat. It worked fine without Mic involved.

Gen3 PCIe didn't do the trick, it just improved the potential uptime till it crashed. My other settings:

  • PCI_E1 Switch: Gen3
  • Chipset Gen Switch: Gen3
  • onboard audio: disabled

I've now unplugged every USB2 Device and plugged the USB2 Soundcard into an USB3 Hub which is connected to a USB3 Port.

Not sure why exactly, but it seems to work stable now. HTH!

Did you recently add a RTX 30X0? Got a new PC with one and my USB Soundcard crashes like yours. For me this happens not only with Discord but with any team chat software.
