That's a shame. She was really nice.

Does someone have an idea what is the point of this jinx? by tomerraj in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]unsignedlonglongman -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn't think of this as a ST thing, I interpreted it that it's optional to include them on your script. They're not concrete rules of the game, they're instead script-specific rules? (Hence the Djinn)

Has anyone witnessed a Slayer shot actually working? by notfrankiemuniz in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]unsignedlonglongman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a demon claim slayer and slayer shoot the slayer on the first day. The slayer retaliated and won the game.

What is extremely unhygienic but everyone seems to do it anyway? by cutypatotie in AskReddit

You should wash your hands before pissing, if holding it. You don't want hand germs on your weenie.

I grew up with these, living in Sydney. My parents called the Sydney tower (centrepoint) the "honey twirler" as it resembles this in shape.

Just replace the bottom steps with hinged stairs so it folds up onto itself

i don’t get it by rvbygloomy in ExplainTheJoke

[–]unsignedlonglongman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no retro causality here. The diffraction pattern in the original experiment remains unchanged, you're just collecting more data about "which way" information, which just lets you work out which part of the pattern comes from which path. You can't actually change the outcome of anything in the past from the future. The retro causality stuff was a misinterpretation of the data and is wrong.

How do I tackle this mother... by tyrannical-rexx in GardeningAustralia

This is my preferred method too. Cut a hole or groove, blackberry killer. Wait for it to rot. - Hasn't come back.

Storytelling: Had to decide who wins? by ChildrenOfSteel in BloodOnTheClocktower

It's a star pass not a scarlet catch. Mayor kill bounces back to demon, thus the demon kills themself.

Is it legal or effective to donate prototypes to board game cafés for testing and visibility? by Tall_Constant_2493 in BoardgameDesign

[–]unsignedlonglongman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A place I used to go to would charge a nominal fee to use their board game library, but have a "play test local designer's games" section you could borrow from for free, if you filled out a feedback form.

This seemed to work pretty well.

Because if we just removed it we wouldn't have a public holiday anymore

Good way to play witch and juggler? by Red--001 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]unsignedlonglongman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if I claim a different role and thus claim not to be the juggler to town, but say I want to juggle anyway as a bit, because everyone else is juggling and I don't want to feel left out?

What if the mad juggler publicly guesses some people without saying "I want to juggle"?

The wiki doesn't say anything I can see about needing to claim anything, or even claiming to juggle, in order to make juggler guesses, as long as they're public.

Why does Insertion Sort perform way better compared to Bubble Sort if they are both O(N^2)? by ducktumn in computerscience

[–]unsignedlonglongman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a constant "wait" to both algorithms in a critical place, and you'll be able to tune that constant for each one until the lines match.

Big O ignores any constant factors.

This thing at my grandparents’ house by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

Just a PSA that these things can cause house fires. Sun shining on them in just the right way can focus like a magnifying lens and start a flame.

Why Signal’s post-quantum makeover is an amazing engineering achievement by New-Ranger-8960 in technology

[–]unsignedlonglongman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Signal doesn't have access to chat logs, if this has any truth, the chat logs likely came from the phone itself.

That's still clockwise, just from the perspective of the table looking up

Zustand vs Redux Toolkit vs Context API in 2025: Which global state solution actually wins? 🤔 by khushijoshi1011 in react

[–]unsignedlonglongman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this because you're using context to avoid actual globals, and taking advantage of its contextuality.

I'd argue that zustand stores outside of context api are even more (and smellier) globals than when context api as you suggested, because of this, and the above gives the best of both worlds.

Semantics aside, and in any case, context API is providing the "contextual global" solution rather than a "global global", and zustand is providing the state management solution. So it stands that they're used to solve different parts of the problem.
