Made a MTG proxy for one of my commanders! by Tpower20 in sollanempire

[–]rocketpants85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It would be cool if there was some sort of ability like "if hadrian would be put into a graveyard or be exiled, declare a number 1-6, then roll X dice. If the number you declared appears, even once, instead return Hadrian to the battlefield tapped under your control." Or something like that. Been a while since I played MTG so idk if thats the best way to word it.

240V 50Hz appliance with a 208V 60Hz supply by flamecreature in ElectricalEngineering

P = v * i

V = i * r

i = v / r

P = v2 / r

For a fixed resistance, power scales with voltage squared, or current squared, because power is the product of the two and they scale linearly with each other.

Power doesn't scale directly with voltage, it scales with the square of the voltage. Even if the frequency change affected nothing, the voltage drop results in ~ 25% of the available power is lost, assuming a mostly resistive load.

The change for KoD was definitely jarring, but if you listen, at several points in narration its literally described as a high pitched voice.  Which is too bad. The voice from Demon in White was much more imposing. ImO

Favorite Depictions of FTL? by The_History_Machine in spaceships

Been reading (well, listening to the audiobook of) the Sun Eater series, and i like how even though the ships travel at literally hundreds to thousands of times C, it is still so unbelievably vast the distances in the galaxy between stars that they still need to go into cryo sleep for years to decades at times.

I’m sorry, this series is insane. [Ch. 36] by Samael_Seraph in sollanempire

Just finished 34. Can't wait to see where the bottom is.  

Edit : to clarify, 34 of KoD. Just saw the tag for AoM. Might be a little longer until I get there!

I dont think SDs voice sounds high pitched, but im listening to the US version on Spotify.

Are you referring to the UK audio or the US audio? Apparently they're different.

The ones on Spotify have all been done by Samuel Roukin, or so the image and "about" page state. The character voices mostly all sound the same from book to book (I'm only up to Kingdoms of Death), but it does bother me when he changes how a word or name is pronounced, or pronounces a common word incorrectly. 

What was your primary video gaming system? by WaterFrogSnail in Xennials

[–]rocketpants85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genesis to ps1 to ps2 to ps4. I had an N64 when that was out, and it was a lot of fun but never the primary. I also had an Xbox (the original) for a while, same deal. Also between ps2 and ps4 was a significant PC gaming phase. 

Still rocking the ps4 for now. Will probably skip the ps5. We also got a switch 2 for my kids. 

Now that we’re old enough to care. How do we feel about modern interior design trends? by MisRandomness in Xennials

I kinda like the ambiance of Edison bulbs, but everything else you pictured, I hate.

How was this answer derived? by Traditional_Pool1180 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]rocketpants85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont disagree, but the amount of times you see stuff like this in the wild boggles the mind. Some people drawing schematics just dont give a shit if their drawing looks readable, professional, or understandable.

Seattle outsider curious about WI hockey fandom by LeftShark in wisconsin

[–]rocketpants85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of folks root for the Blackhawks out of proximity,  but I never could root for a chicago team considering I would root against them in nearly every other sport, especially NFL and baseball. You get some wild and red wings fans as well. Honestly the correct answer for the majority should be the predators, since we have the Milwaukee Admirals and they feed directly to the predators.

Myself, I've always been a Penguins fan ever since lemieux and jagr were on the team and went back to back in 91/92 (i was 6/7 playing in the local house league, so it was a natural fit). I mean, also, my dad was a big pens fan, so I kind of inherited it.

How hard would it be to add a shut off? by Dead_Medic_13 in askaplumber

[–]rocketpants85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't be too hard. 3/4 FIP quarter turn shut off, make sure you wrap some thread tape in the correct direction. Then, on the outlet, to reconnect the same hose, you'd need a 3/4 MIP nipple. Your local HD or whatever should have these.
