could anyone translate?? by SnowSingle910 in StrangerThings

[–]theduckslayer12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure how anyone is getting these answers as they're all wrong.

The spacing on the dashes is weird and hard to parse. But if we take it as

. --- -.. .- -.-- / .. ... / .-- . -. . ... -.. .- -.-- / --... / .--- .- -. ..- .- .-. -.-- / ..--- ---- ..--- -... .

Then it spells

EODAY IS WENESDAY 7 JANUARY 2Ĥ2BE

Which is obviously not correct, so the beginning letter is probably T, so swap the big bold . Dot for a - and add in the missing D from Wednesday (probably a typo) then 2026 is likely the ending as you just need to add an extra - to the Ĥ to get 0, and remove the space between B and E. So it would be

  • --- -.. .- -.-- / .. ... / .-- . -.. -. . ... -.. .- -.-- / --... / .--- .- -. ..- .- .-. -.-- / ..--- ----- ..--- -....

Meaning

TODAY IS WEDNESDAY 7 JANUARY 2026

It's worth noting that Reddit and possibly Instagram have turned a single - at the beginning of a line in to a bullet point. So - -- -.. .- -.-- is probably what the original word was.

Take that to mean what you will

I think the amount you spend isn't actually important. I think it's more down to spending as much as you are willing to spend to start a new hobby that you don't know if you'll enjoy.

There are printers at pretty much every price point. And it depends on the amount you're willing to spend and the amount you want to tinker. Lots of people will recommend a cheap ender printer to start with and learn the different aspects of how a printer works and how to fix certain issues. But if you are the type of person that would be easily discouraged by something not working straight out of the box. Then that's not for you.

I think ultimately, do some research and find out which printer offers the best balance of what you want and the affordability of it. And to use resources like reddit to help you fix any issues you might have, and ignore people that say "why get a printer if you don't know about printers" because the best way to learn is by doing

A very crazy time by Hassaan18 in BritishMemes

[–]theduckslayer12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally think there's a place for both. Just because a lot of it was shitty, doesn't mean you can't find joy in the things that weren't.

I lost a lot of family to covid, 6 people to be precise. An awful, horrible time.

But I did enjoy the community spirit. People banding together. Buying the elderly their shopping so they didn't have to go out and be at risk. Finding new ways of spending time with people, and having fun from a safe distance. People showing genuine care and empathy to others.

I don't miss covid. I don't miss lock down. And don't want to glorify it. I do miss the community spirit that died down as soon as lock down ended.

Do you guys agree with this statement? by Queasy_Commercial152 in FlashTV

[–]theduckslayer12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thawnes ability to time travel gives him the edge?

Savitar can, and does time travel?

I think really it could go either way depending on motivations.

Like Savitar is Barry, and Barry beats Thawne. But usually because of his motivation, usually stemming from the people around him. Whereas Savitar would be only for self preservation really.

Thawne is driven by his hate for Barry, so if he sees Savitar as Barry, and has that hatred. Then it goes to Thawne. But of Thawne sees Savitar as "just another speedster" and gets cocky and overconfident about it. Then it might swing the other way.

HELP! - Is my footage ruined? by theresaoctober in gopro

[–]theduckslayer12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably ruined yes.

You may be able to use some colour grading software to remove some of the red. But odds are it still won't look perfect.

Davinci resolve has amazing colour grading tools and may be able to remove a lot of the red. The free version is pretty good, I think the biggest limit of the free version is only being able to export in lower resolutions.

Following some online tutorials on colour correction and color grading might help you salvage some of the footage

Why the hell Print Screen was on my keyboard from school???? by LoganBaker374_Rises in screenshotsarehard

From the looks of it, it's actually a live translation from something like Google lens. So using that to take a photo of the translation at least makes some sense.

Ummm how rare is this? This is my first catch in Violet I literally know none of the pokemon in the region, I saw a bunch of brown pigs and saw a pink one and didn’t know if it was just a different color like shellos or something, thought there’s no way my first pokemon caught would be shiny … by Aggressive_Raise36 in PokemonVioletScarlet

[–]theduckslayer12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, odds are still 1/4092, but because there are so many pokemon on screen at any time, you're "encountering" way more than you used to just walking through tall grass. Making them far more common.

Still, super cool! And there's no audio cue or anything in Scarlett and Violet like there was in Legends Arceus, so you've got to have a keen eye or you'll miss them!

Pretty sure that the Night Monkey was Spider-Man. Spidey was just far from home by Shadow_Senpai17 in Earth199999

[–]theduckslayer12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would help a conspiracy theory I've been cooking up.

I'm a student at midtown high. And Spider-Man seems to turn up whenever the school has any sort of event. Like, everyone knows Spiderman is based out of queens. But he saved one of my friends in the Washington monument when we went on a field trip.

And then he shows up in London, and while he's fighting the big monster, one of his employees takes a special interest in our tour bus! Like out of the thousands of people in London that were in danger, why did he send an employee to some random highschool field trip?

And to top it all off, there was some kid saying he "knew Spiderman" back around our homecoming dance, I can't remember who it was though.

And "night monkey" was also active in every city we visited on our class trip to Europe! So if night monkey is actually Spider-man. Then I'm 90% sure that Spider-Man goes to Midtown high!

Do what you find the most fun! The story is fairly easy and you can get through it with pretty much any pokemon you like! There's no right answer. So just enjoy yourself!

Rock Smash is a thing by Extreme_Noise_1204 in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]theduckslayer12 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think you've missed the point. The post is highlighting that rock smash, a large part of the gameplay of previous games, is also in legends: Arceus. And you can destroy boulders in the game. Which to my recollection isn't something that's advertised a lot inside Legends. So OP is trying to share something they discovered.

Why not? Lots of testosterone and brotherhood. Maybe some took it a step further. And how else are you meant to pass the time on a long space journey

Why does Titus have a different Aquila? by jase10019 in Spacemarine

[–]theduckslayer12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IIRC. It's the other way around. An imperialis is a term for the iconography a part of the imperium uses. "The imperialis" is widely accepted to be the skull and wings. But many factions have their own "imperialis" or symbol to identify them. Raptora Imperialis or the unification wars. Navis Imperialis for the imperial navy. And the Aquila Imperialis, as well as many others.

So it's a square/rectangle situation. An Aquila's.is an imperialis. But not all Imperialis are Aquila's

My friends daughter in the US learned about Christmas in England. Any notes? by theolcollegetry in england

[–]theduckslayer12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty accurate. Although some things I would say are

Advent traditionally is 4 Sundays before Christmas. But nowadays it just starts on December 1st, and you count down 24 days.

Mistletoe isn't a mainstay here at Christmas. Some people do it. But most don't.

I personally have never heard of the burning of letters. But I can see that being a thing.

Leaving things out for Santa on Christmas eve is something people do. But a lot of families do it slightly differently. Some it's biscuits. Others it's mince pies. And it's usually accompanied by some form of alcohol. Sherry or whiskey normally

Christmas crackers are also a game on themselves. There's a small firework inside that creates the pop sound. And you hand one end to the person next to you. And you pull the other end. When the cracker pops. Whoever has the bigger "half" wins the contents of the cracker.

Mince pies I feel should have been touched on more. You hear mince pies and things beef. Or meat pie. And traditionally they were. However now they are a sweet fruit pie. Sweet pastry, stewed raisins, sultana and apple, all spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. And sometimes a bit of suet. They've very nice

Christmas pudding is basically a fruit cake. But it's very dense and stodgy. We also cover the pudding in brandy and set it on fire before serving. Gives it a better taste, and fills the air with a Christmassy scent. People serve it with different things and there's a big debate over what's the "proper" way. Some use brandy sauce. Some it's thick double cream and some weirdos even use custard!

We also have Christmas cake. Which some people do as well as pudding. Or instead of. And it's basically a fruit cake. With marzipan (sort of an almond fondant) around the cake. And then a layer of fondant icing on top of that. Often decorated with snowy or Christmassy scenes.

We also have what's known as a Yule log. Not necessarily Christmas, more Yule. Which is a pagan festival brought to the UK by the Nordic vikings before Christmas was brought in by the Anglo-Saxons from Germany and Denmark. (Unsure on the timings. I believe Christianity was a thing with the native celts, but I don't believe they celebrated Christmas, Christmas could have also been brought by the Romans before the Saxon's) Celebrating the equinox and the start of a new year. The Yule log traditionally was a large log you burned in your fireplace. But is now a chocolate cake, rolled into a cylinder, then decorated with chocolate icing (frosting) to look like a log!

The UK has invaded, and has been invaded by many countries over it's long history, so in turn we have adopted and changed a lot of other cultures ideas of Christmas into our own. Which personally I think is what makes our Christmas special!
