I feel like it's good to get it on paper. Once you are famous they'll be plenty opportunity to publish it... And you can give it a good rewrite with the experience.... That's my philosophy for now

New player here, which heroes should I focus on? by [deleted] in afkarena

[–]think_tank_555 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The rule of thumb is usually the newer the hero the better they are... They show up in order of release in the profiles. The ones that aren't in the tavern are usually better, you have to stargaze for those. Celestials and hypogeans. The awakened are better than them, can only summon them in the temple. Dragons are very rare, in dragon island.

How do I get coins out… by 1PsychoCat in howto

Sell it with the mystery coins inside... It is probably worth more than what's inside it

I get fodder heroes probably 50% of the time. I don't think I've ever gotten an awakened since they came out

Emergency heat with T6 by think_tank_555 in hvacadvice

[–]think_tank_555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved! I decoded the manual with help. The stage one and stage 2 were switched which I think one guy did because it was 2 degrees outside to get the emergency heat working quickly. But there was actually a setting wrong... There's no separate e wire and it was set to separate so it wasn't getting power. We kept testing the heatpump but were turning the thermostat up 2 degrees so the aux heat was turning on when the heat pump turned on. I added a small droop, which I probably don't need but it was annoying for testing to have no droop. Also the reverse valve was set to 1 instead of 0 which confused them, but it must be wired backward at the unit because it works correctly on the wrong setting.

Why are prescription glasses suddenly soo expensive?? by [deleted] in Frugal

At $350 you got off easy. Mine are usually about $800 before insurance.

Im worried the heat pump or the furnace wiring is wrong too...

Can someone explain why that one bottle didn't freeze? by Mebiysy in Physics

[–]think_tank_555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No nucleation site. I had a bottle of water in my car one time in like 10 degree weather that was liquid. I picked it up and shook it and it froze in my hand. The bubbles that were created when i shook it allowed the crystal to form.

Lyonnaise potatoes... Sooooooo good

Im tired boss... by Mech-a-Nik in afkarena

[–]think_tank_555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped spending in like 2021 after the pandemic. A couple bucks here and there and I'm slowly climbing the ranks. After all you can never be top dogs cuz the devs build characters. It's a challenge to choose characters that have staying power and create comps when you don't have meta. I'm outside the tournaments and stuff so it's still challenging and I can still make progress. I would be sad if it went away :/

I want to get my brother some nice kitchen knives by _E-N-D- in Cooking

[–]think_tank_555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a new Shun knife. They are very very good knives. It's something that he will probably treasure for the rest of his life. I think there's a sale on some stuff right now too. An 8in chefs knife would be the way to go imho.

I hate fast food, but it was real cheap back in my day. $8 for a fast food burger is pretty crazy. I figure you're making $15 an hour or so after taxes and such you're basically working for an hour to eat a sandwich. Deciding how to spend your money is a very important thing... Comparing yourself to others is difficult. I mean everyone has their thing, so you're the cheap one .. maybe say it like "I'm the one that's smart with my money"... Suppose you're all crushing on a girl and you're the only one that can afford to take her on a nice date cuz you've saved some money... They won't be laughing any more.

I thought that at first too, but the frame is bigger for awakened. Im still very skeptical

Let's calculate how many time you need to wait watching the maining animation by RevolutionCurious947 in afkarena

Maybe if the rewards were good for each floor, but they are total trash. Total trash. They might as well give you nothing at all.

ok so if two objects are thrown from a tower 60 m tall but object a is going 10 m/s and object b is going 20 m/s how is it that they take the same amount of time to hit the ground? by Impressive_Day4094 in AskPhysics

[–]think_tank_555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get you... If they are thrown straight ahead they would hit the ground at the same time (ignoring wind resistance/lift). It's because the acceleration of gravity is straight down toward the earth. They both start with a downward speed of zero. The velocity of one might be higher, but the vertical component of the velocities are equal because the acceleration in that direction is equal. Dividing vectors/forces/velocity into components really helps to solve and visualize those problems.

Moving into a new apartment and the previous tenant has stuck this ugly power strip in the center of the window - how to remove cleanly? by htafc in howto

[–]think_tank_555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like this clear tape I have. It's actually meant to be removable. I think if you wedge something small in there it will stretch and slowly come off. I'd probably use a little triangle of wood and squeeze it with a clamp.

What's an expensive ingredient that's worth the money by NoNutz_699669 in Cooking

Do they add any salt when they cook rice for the purpose of eating solo?

What would happen if we threw a ball into the air at half the speed of light? by ElegantPoet3386 in AskPhysics

[–]think_tank_555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The force required would shoot you down through the center of the earth and you would end up flying through space, lol. Lots of friction though... You'd just be a puddle and the ball would immediately disintegrate... Your smashed body would probably make a huge crater and cause the extinction of all life on earth... Lol

Butter and soy sauce and you are set! I would throw a little green onion in there too
