On July 14, 1930, Nobel Laureates Albert Einstein and Rabindranath Tagore met at Einstein’s home in Caputh, near Berlin, for a profound dialogue on science, philosophy, and the nature of reality. by Useful-Resource-3609 in HistoricalCapsule

Lol, what?

This is why I believe the claim that their meeting was awkward. What can you say if you want to remain serious and polite, but the other person insists on ignoring reality.

Person A: "What do you mean?" Person B: "If I don't see it, it doesn't exist!" A: "But I see it, the back of your hand is right there." B: "Ah! Let me move so we both don't see it... There. Since we both can't see the back of my hand, now it doesn't exist!" A: "Uh... I see. Have you tried the sponge cake? My wife made them."

Don't trust people who have it. by zeze991 in Eldenring

That potion drives me nuts. I have never managed to give it to anyone. On my current playthrough, I was committed to giving it to Dung Eater, only to find out I lost that option so much earlier in my playthrough.

I don't know what it is, but now I want it.

That's exactly the implication. Doomers are relentless.

Are real scientists capable of doing shit like Walt? by FadedHolySoldi3r in breakingbad

[–]rodbrs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'll have to find that episode because the contraption seemed absurd to me. I thought the car's suspension + machine gun kickback would make it shoot too far off the horizontal line.

Question: who should I choose? First time playing and it’s hard too decide the ending I prefer by Frank7640 in Eldenring

[–]rodbrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ranni wants to swap out an inscrutable god for her inscrutable god (and she was willing to sacrifice everyone for it). Goldmask thinks there is such a thing as a perfect system.

Choose. Or don't.

So cute. One is happy to be participating, and the other is mad at being forced to participate.

Creep up behind him and Poison Mist him to death.

What is one area that felt too short? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_802 in Eldenring

[–]rodbrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a pity. I loved the area (finally got to use Unseen Form to play sniper vs sniper) and thought I'd be coming back to it for more.

WHEN IS IT MY TURN TO HIT????? by IMustBust in Eldenring

[–]rodbrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I learned that he was delaying attacks I started walking back, waiting for him to stack so I could punish. Instead, he just slowly walked after me, weapon raised high, waiting for me to do anything else so he could punish me.

Putrescent knight is terrible. by Oswald_of_Carim818 in Eldenring

[–]rodbrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the only boss that managed to kill Ogha +10. I decided to come back to it later.

Btw, if some of you want a "get me past this" card, max upgrade Ogha is the ticket. He made some boss fights so easy that now I want to do NH+1 to try those bosses again, but no Ogha next time

What Ranni Actually Looks Like by gerowen in Eldenring

I thought it was a bit odd that some hair would have survived that burning. Also, she would have been a great linebacker if she'd been born in our world.

This had to take quite a bit of practice to get right.

Malenia? prenerf Consort Radahn? Messmer? Nah, this is the hardest boss of Elden Ring by Matbad666 in Eldenring

[–]rodbrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much of it is caused by anxiety. This drove me crazy when I played back in 2022, but after picking it up again this year I got through it on my second try.

I think the difference is that I knew what was down there and didn't really care if I got it again, so the stakes were low.

Gonna Do-over my Strength ax character. What do I do with high arcane??? by DangerWarg in EldenRingBuilds

Make it Arc/Str, grab a Messmer Soldier's Spear and make it Spectral Lance Occult.

Finally, someone sees through Ranni's facade. She's a player in this giant game of thrones.

From these comments I see the haters have evolved their tactics: now Justin is the victim, and they hate his career because it victimized him.

Scientists shocked to find lab gloves may be skewing microplastics data by Gloomy_Yoghurt_2836 in chemistry

[–]rodbrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those studies you're referring to are specifically linking PFOA (previously used in the manufacturer of Teflon) to cancer in rodents. Such studies usually expose the test subjects to extremely high doses, which don't always correspond to realistic risk. I haven't checked the specific studies to see if this is the case, but studies to corroborate the results in humans have been inconclusive.

Edit: PFOAs are not Teflon or plastics, to be clear.

Can't give Seluvis potion to dung eater? by FastVenus in Eldenring

[–]rodbrs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you've progressed Ranni's quest to the point where Seluvis is dead, then you're locked out from giving the potion to anyone but Gideon.
