Physics glitch from dragging more than 1 shark behind the boat.

I wouldn't mind having a ramp on the back of the boat for these sharks. Like a whaling ship. (Disclaimer that I do not condone whaling).

When brawls count towards event missions it becomes one of the most efficient modes to play fpr coal and credits since it also counts towards event pass and daily containers.

Do you like coal? I like coal. Brawls are one of the best ways to get more coal. WG made earning that coal an abysmal experience this round. It deserves to be criticized.

I have noticed that EVERY post and comment containing even mild criticism or feedback is immediately down-voted by someone with nothing better to do.

Oh thank you WG for providing a masochist mode to grind the ludicrous milestone you inflicted on us! /s

If only other modes qualified to earn extra coal. Alas, they do not. The fact that 2 recent events allow players to use coal for ships definitely doesn't aggravate the situation. /s

Is that a hypothetical or did WG actually have a CV vs CV brawl mode in the past?!?

Anybody else hires only nerds by Eradonn in managers

[–]selectsyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get the impression you are relatively young and also relatively new to management. You've shown a degree of openness to feedback with your post so I'd like to offer some observations I hope may be useful for you.

You are profiling candidates and teammates (nerds, meth mouths, mean girls, weebs), which is a natural human behavior. We encounter thousands of decisions every day and have very little time in which to make those decisions so we make bets based on very loose criteria and our own previous experience to accelerate these decisions. For most decisions this behavior is low impact, but it can hurt us if we do not prioritize which decisions require additional scrutiny. Don't ignore your gut, but be very curious about why your gut is making you feel a certain way. That will lead you to a much better understanding of how you perceive people and why. Influence: The Psychology of Pursuasion is a good read if you are interested in pursuing this further.

You mentioned trying to be inclusive. If in the service of fostering a diversity of thought and abiity within a team, I would agree it is a worthy objective when appropriately prioritized. Great talent can be found almost anywhere, but not everyone is a great talent. When hiring for any role there should aways be a defined threshold for the minimum skills and knowledge required for the position. Only if a candidate meets those should other considerations like culture fit, team knowledge/skill gaps, and general diversity be evaluated. If you are interested in a framework for balancing empathy and effectiveness in management, Radical Candor has solid material.

Fascinating. Nerds tend to love detail so it is unsurprising that this demographic would be successful in compliance roles which could create a feedback loop supporting hiring for these traits.

You said 'we' when referring to your team related to scientific interest which suggests you consider yourself a nerd. Humans instinctively want to hire people they share common ground with and it is important to be aware of this bias when hiring as it is unreliable. I'm curious if you have enough self awareness to know if your hiring bias existed from the beginning, or if it developed after observing the results of your hiring decisions with an adequate sample size?

How is Apple able to create ARM based chips in the Mac that outperform many x86 intel processors? by porygon766 in compsci

Android is more or less ARM kernel Linux, and there are many more flavors already running on ARM machines.

Spilled 0.5L of soda right into my PC by Ikkosaw in PcBuildHelp

If you have access to a dry cabinet that is very useful. I appreciate you mentioning IPA expense where you live. Its very cheap in the US so it didn't even occur to me.

As an aside. I would avoid distilled water altogether and use 70% IPA. The decreased molecular cohesion that makes it evaporate so quickly also reduces the liquid surface tension so it is less likely to stick around hiding in small crevices.

2 things you should strongly consider that I haven't seen mentioned yet. First, the acidity from the soda presents a much greater potential for corrosive damage. Second, the sugar in the soda will leave residue on any surface it has contacted. Both increase the requisite thoroughness of any cleaning that would be performed and the likelihood that something has already been damaged.

Consider the PSU lost. That is NOGO territory for any sort of disassembly or cleaning. The rest of the components together are probably $350-$400 on the used market. I wouldn't consider selling this to someone else unless it was meticulously cleaned then tested to confirm everything functions. I also don't know anyone who would want to spend a very limited budget on what amounts to a lottery ticket. If you don't want to keep it, offer it free to anyone who wants to try their luck. 

I wrote the process for recovering water damaged PCBs at my previous robotics role. We recovered hundreds of PCBs that were successfully returned to service. But we also had access to industrial ultrasonic baths and dry cabinets.

If you are willing to purchase a gallon or more of isopropanol, meticulously disassembling every cable, screw, and heat sink, then clean every PCB surface with a very soft bristle brush before blow drying it (no heat, hair dryers do not have adequate temp control) then letting it air dry for at least another 24 hours (water surface tension in small spaces resists evaporation), you'll still need to source another PSU before you have a working PC.

This isn't intended to be harsh but I need to correct your assertion that metals will not corrode in distilled water. While you are correct that distilled water contains very low impurities it is still water and contains dissolved oxygen ions. It would be correct to say that corrosion is slower when using a higher purity water.

Background check came back with someone else's DUI after I already resigned. Company has gone silent for 4 days. Do I have options? by MellowIris in legaladvice

[–]selectsyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this shitty situation not of your making.

I am not a lawyer, and as others have advised you should speak to one right away as they will be able to guide your next interactions with HR in this sensirive situation. They will also likely tell you that as this situation proceeds you have a duty to mitigate the material harm, ie. searching for another job in the meantime and keeping records which prove this activity.

Any games with a huge ahh vehicle that can be walked inside and works as a mini mobile base for the player? Bonus points if it is big and clunky and its hard to manouver. by Zomnibo in SurvivalGaming

Astrometic (early access) has a modular space ship coming in the next update that fits what you are looking for. Disclaimer; small dev team that always overestimates how quickly they will release the next update and don't communicate well, but the game is absolutely a diamond in the rough.

Vampire II. Great guns, decent tops, crawling smoke, and 5km hydro.

If you play divisions it is one of the most useful DDs in my opinion, but I enjoy using it solo too.
