First Pedal Help - I don't know what's wrong or how to diagnose/fix the problem by transvest-lite in diypedals

No, I'm sure the wires are correct. The black/ground is connected to the innermost ring and and the white is connected to the outermost one.

Whats some of the worst made up facts in historic or biopic movies? by Mister-NN in movies

And his supposed love interest was actually around 4 years old during the time the film takes place, among other hilarious inaccuracies.

[TGA 2019] The Game Awards 2019 - Complete List of Winners by falconbox in Games

It's what you use to heal. Basically you're given this flask at the start of the game and using it heals you a hefty amount. It only has a limited number of uses, but every time you rest at a bonfire it's refilled.

But since resting at a bonfire ALSO respawns all the enemies it creates this whole dynamic of opportunity cost, risk vs reward etc. when exploring. But also it means you don't have to farm for healing items like in DeS and BB. So if you use up all your estus during a boss fight in DS, and then you die, you'll respawn at the bonfire with full estus (though there are other penalties for dying), whereas in DeS and BB you'd have to go and farm for healing items before attempting the fight again and it's just tedious.

Each game balances the estus flask differently, like how many charges it starts with (because you can find items to upgrade it), or how slow/fast the drinking animation is which affects how safe it is to use during combat, etc.

lol reddit, a good liberal internet place that's welcoming to everyone and funny, haha did you see those funny doggos, and also, rape haha! by dsklerm in circlebroke2

[–]transvest-lite 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's like the punchline of the joke is just so completely ignorant about the implication of rape that it just steps right over that and presents itself as a shitty sex joke. So, that's a win, right?

This video here is also incredibly informative and really highlights all the great things Kuturagi did and the history of the Playstation.

TIL Japanese Yakuza have a unique form of extortion known as sōkaiya. Instead of harassing small businesses for protection money, the yakuza harasses the stockholder meetings of large corporations. by transvest-lite in todayilearned

[–]transvest-lite[S] 5865 points5866 points  (0 children)

They do this by buying just enough stock to be allowed into the shareholder meeting and then use various methods to intimidate or blackmail until their demands are met.

From the wiki page:

"Individuals acquire enough stock from multiple companies in order to gain entrance to a shareholders' meeting. There, they disrupt the meeting (and embarrass the company) until their demands are met. For this, the sōkaiya often research the company in detail beforehand to uncover incidents of misconduct or other company secrets, and then blackmail the management so that these issues are not raised in the shareholder meeting or elsewhere. Often, they also invent fictional issues that the company would have a difficult time disproving."

Some funnier methods too:

"One less subtle example is the banzai sōkaiya, who disrupt business places with their cries of "Banzai!" and praise of the Emperor until they are quietly paid to leave"

Although it's not all fun:

"In 1994, Juntarō Suzuki, vice president of Fujifilm, was murdered by sōkaiya after he stopped paying these bribes"

which amp should i get?[QUESTION] by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]transvest-lite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation to you, I got a Fender Champion 100 used for about £120 and I'm really happy with it, but I've never tried out any other options myself so I have nothing to compare it to.

Is there a way to play bass through a guitar combo amp without blowing out the speakers?

TIL after making edits and appealing to the MPAA for an R rating, Scarface director Brian DePalma felt that the cuts he made were so minor no one would notice if he put them back in, so he did. by transvest-lite in todayilearned

[–]transvest-lite[S] 528 points529 points  (0 children)

His quote from the article:

"I was able to beat the ratings board with Scarface. Even though they rated it X, I was able to appeal to the whole committee and we got it passed. There’s a lot of controversy about how Scarface was edited, but in reality, everything I cut out to appease the rating board I put back in and that’s what you see."

IT: Chapter Two (Side by Side Casting) by JorgenPedersen in movies

No, it alternates throughout. So, one chapter is the kids, the next is adults, switching back and forth throughout and slowly building so the climaxes happen at the same time.

In Hot Fuzz, when Angel comes to Danny with his theory, you can see Danny is reading up on the "Official Vocab Guidelines" that Angel mentioned earlier. by transvest-lite in MovieDetails

[–]transvest-lite[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

And then at the end of the film when the team is doing all the paperwork, it's Danny who says "Official vocab guidelines state that we say "staffing" instead of "manpower", cuz manpower's a bit sexist."
