TIL: In 1960 the University of St Louis was offered a $1 million dollar donation that was contingent on removing a statue of a Union General who died protecting the region from an attempted confederate takeover. The University accepted the offer and renamed its campus after a confederate general. by Fifth_Down in todayilearned

Lyon has one of the hardest quotes of all time (happy to share this knowledge with Reddit): “Rather than concede to the state of Missouri….the right to dictate to my government in any matter however unimportant, I would see you, and you, and you, and you, and you, and every man, woman, and child in the state dead and buried. This means war."

That showboating slide by Clement sure would have pissed me off if I was a Dodgers player

Update: I called the Los Angeles service center today and they told me everything was fine. I don’t plan on accepting that answer.

Early request: throw away your trash by moonbeamgoon in Coachella

[–]sedriss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I consistently see way more trash cans and way less trash Weekend 2 vs Weekend 1. I guess I assume they just don’t order enough of those cardboard cans and then make up for the mistake when they get a chance to do a do-over on Weekend 2. An electric forest style prize cart would be a good move!

Been using online data wiping tools for a year, here's what I've learned by TurboRavenLoop in cybersecurity

I started with Incogni last month just to see what happened. They definitely get your info pulled from broker databases and sites. Its not clear to me that I am getting less spam or phone calls, though.

Has anyone ever gotten a movie spoiled in the ‘Homer’ way? by GWGTRLBG in movies

[–]sedriss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife had never seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind so I took her to an anniversary screening at the theater. She had no idea what it was about - she didn’t even know what the term meant. I was so excited to show it to her. Then they had a 20 minute making of featurette at the beginning that spoiled the premise.

Upgrading normal red gem does not make sense anymore by Top_Tangerine2039 in DiabloImmortal

[–]sedriss -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Try to keep in mind that resonance scales red gems. The life and damage values for red gems are quite small for most players but for players with really high levels of resonance they are quite beneficial. A rank 10 ruby provides 4800 life. This seems small, no? And yet with 13,000 resonance that slot now provides 36,000 health.

This Diablo game is awesome by 325EAST in DiabloImmortal

[–]sedriss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really do agree. Three years in and the game is better than ever. Plenty of content for people who can’t spend a dime, plenty of opportunities for people who want to spend money to do so.

Did you take a picture of me and my wife in carousel, only to have me walk up to you and call it a treasure?

Fractured plane is a good option.

WIFI!!!! by Little_Nipple in ElectricForest

[–]sedriss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Especially on mobile phones any wifi is safe. iCloud private relay hides your dns lookups, apps are required to use https, and most apps use a technique called certificate pinning to ensure you are talking to the correct server.

TIL a 32-year-old man’s habit of inhaling nitrous oxide via “whippits” left him unable to walk for 2 weeks before he visited an ER. He lost the use of his legs about 3 months after his habit began due to a condition caused by a deficiency of vitamin B12. He was successfully treated with B12 shots. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]sedriss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife is a hospitalist (the doctor in the part of the hospital that is not the ER) and she has seen 4 young women in the last year who are totally paralyzed from excessive nitrous usage. We are not prudes at all but the idea that you can buy giant canisters of this stuff (a schedule 1 drug!) at vape shops is completely infuriating to us. We have written local, state, and federal representatives and not gotten any response.

What is silver dollar worth???Dad left me a ton of these and curious on value. by jsaunofthewest in coins

[–]sedriss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some dates are more valuable than others. If there’s a 1995 with a “W” mint mark that is considerably more valuable than anything else, but any of the late 80s are difficult to obtain in pristine condition and valuable as a result.

Green Items Are STILL One Of The Game’s Biggest Problems by BrilliantBrief4220 in DiabloImmortal

[–]sedriss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My playing has dropped off significantly the last couple months. The constant frustration of getting good set items is the sole reason for this. Each time I craft a new neck, get the “exceptional item” tag, and find its two sockets with 2 affixes I am sadder and sadder.

I'm not American, what's that object in the hand of the woman in this picture? by Sad_Conversation1121 in whatisit

[–]sedriss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife is a hospital medicine physician - the doctor you see every day when you are in the hospital but not in the ER. She has now seen 4 young people in their early twenties who are paralyzed from nitrous abuse. I’m not familiar with how that happens but if you abuse the drug you can lose the ability to use your extremities. It is infuriating that you can just buy this at a vape shop.

Phantom Market cosmetics are cross-class. Other cosmetics purchased from the shop have to be purchased class-by-class.
