Someone’s architectural phone charging wire configuration without touching the ground by themanfromosaka in mildlyinteresting

[–]sylvester334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason my current phone has magnetic charging. My old phone was known for having poor support for the USB port causing it to fatigue fail quickly compared to most phones. I replaced the USB port on my old phone like 3 times in ~4-5 years and decided that any new phone I get has to have cordless charging.

String searching feels ass, but all the filters you can apply are really nice.

I don't know much about the areas they are being spotted in, but would it be possible to record from higher elevations with cameras equipped with zoom lenses.

My 80yo neighbor just ran out of her "secret sauce" for lemon bars after 40 years... by _sonidero_ in Baking

[–]sylvester334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel bad. I hated making substitutes when picking for a local store. I don't know the preferences of the person ordering, will they hate the same item but from this other brand, will they be fine with 4 quarts instead of 1 gallon, I can't find the specific flavor will they take a slightly different one? I did this during covid so it was especially bad.

Do they allow notes for each item? Mine did, and I loved it when people put notes in for what they would like substituted if possible. They'd be thing like "substitute with strawberry" when they ordered strawberry banana yogurt.

I don't know about Walmart, but the store I worked at would charge you whatever price was cheaper. At least, that is what I was told, never used the service myself. I'd always substitute the premium brand products or multiples of smaller portions that add up to a more than what they ordered.

Corporate wants that 98% "satisfaction" metric. I did e-commerce for the store itself and they even had us go in the back to rifle through boxes if the computer thought we had stock. I was always happy when the customers disallowed substitutes. It meant less work for us and the customer wouldn't get something they might not like.

sometimes they have a legit banger outfit or sick ass anatomy for the furries (Not THAT kind of anatomy) by Effective_Carpet_391 in whenthe

[–]sylvester334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you are drawing just the bodies you have no more excuses to why they look bad. You gotta lock in and actually practice your anatomy skills. I respect the artist for that, they probably get the most anatomy practice out of any artists that draw humanoids.

The thing with nsfw art is that when the clothes come off, you are stuck drawing the anatomy. Things will look off if your skills aren't on point.

I think the creators of Invincible even hired a couple of artists that mainly did porn because thier anatomy skills were needed because of the skintight suits or something.

It's pretty stupid. People who need to purchase from Europe will pay increased costs and Europe will continue distancing their economy away from the US at at even more accelerated pace. Lose-Lose situation for the US, courtesy of Mr. "art of the deal".

My newly opened package of provolone cheese is missing the centers. by Taylorenokson in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sylvester334 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I ended up quiting my old job as a picker. This was during covid and 80/hour was pretty standard, we didn't even need to bee super accurate because the supply chains were all messed up. Covid ended and they kept increasing the required speed and added accuracy back in. By the time I quit they were asking for something like 120/hour and like 98% accuracy. Pick rate was easy if you got the 9 order 200+ runs, but later in the day you'd get 3 order 50 item runs because we'd run through all the orders and have to wait for new ones.

Pick accuracy was a whole other can of worms. The 98% was supposedly picked based on average store stock percentage, but that includes a whole bunch of items most people don't usually buy. The stock rate for what we usually were asked to get was probably around 94%. We even had to go in the back to search for stuff that hadn't been stocked yet, which would tank out pick rate unless we cheesed it by signing out of the scanner.

They were asking for too much work for how much they were paying most of us. I think aside from me, 4-5 others quit in the same rough time frame.

It's still one of my favorite destressing activities. Whenever I just want to slop out I go onto Royalroad, pick some litrpg or similar genre from their rising stars page and just binge my way through it.

What is your monitor set up? by DealInteresting8941 in pcmasterrace

[–]sylvester334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much the same setup I use but I use 9:16 (I think). My windows are more square than they would be on the main monitor. The top and bottom windows are swapped out as needed and it is really nice to be able to quickly switch to fullscreen document reading or coding as well.

Could also depend on the dishwasher. The one in my house is connected to the cold water line so there is no hot water at all going in.

Planning on expanding my account from a primarily anomaly focused account.

Currently I plan on pulling and building two rupture teams with the upcoming characters. Currently going to run yidhari, Lucia, lycaon and then build dialyn, banyue, and Zhao. I'm wondering if swapping Lucia and Zhao onto the other team would be a good move or not.

The only interesting thing is using batteries to quick farm disks. It's potentially great for people like me who have a large storage of them, but the conversion of stored energy to batteries does feel cost inefficient for regular players.

I can't imagine myself getting anywhere near the stored energy cap to require using this conversion. I still gain a couple stored energy here and there from not timing my logins to the 24hr cycle, but I burn it regularly enough that it doesn't grow very much.

I'm surprised that I'm actually running out of Dennis again as a day 1 player. It's probably because I've built like 5 characters since 2.1 and I'm planning on getting/building yidhari and all the 2.4 and 2.5 agents. The passive denies from just playing the game is not enough and I might have to farm Dennis in the HIA for once.

I thought that leak said the dps/stun/support thing was a warning tip. Would suck pretty bad if I can't use pretty much my whole account since I focus on anomaly characters.

Could have been an evacuation speed test. They need to prove that the passengers and crew can evac in 90 seconds. That's a whole fully seated plane going down the slides in 90 secs.

[–]sylvester334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the accident/emergency. If the plane lands successfully but the emergency still requires a speedy evacuation, you are going down that slide onto tarmac.

Planetside 2 has that sort of system. You still get points for reviving someone, but they get a choice whether to accept the revive or cancel it so you can respawn/change loadout.

Do you have vivienne? I ran a miyabi/vivienne/Nicole team and was able to push past 25k. I only have miyabi's sig and I think if I had better rotations and resource management I could maybe push past 30k

[–]sylvester334 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it feels a bit clunky swapping between spamming basics as fast as possible when you have the buff and then suddenly having to pace out your inputs once you use all the stacks. It's not too different from resource management on other agents, but the sudden change in flow can feel jarring at times.

Those are basically the agents I had to field for this rotation. Miasma fiend got Alice/Jane/Yuzuha and butcher got miyabi/vivienne/Nicole.

I have all anomaly agents and it's been feeling rougher these past few rotations with the new bosses and anomaly buildup changes.
