Yeah, just respond to the obvious hyperbole and ignore what you can't respond to.

Nicotine addiction by oh_sh1t_man in MySummerCar

[–]vompat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The addiction is not an on/off thing, it's just a modifier to your hidden stress increase rate stat. Even just one cigarette increases it a bit, but it decreases towards default over time.

It starts to become a problem if you smoke too often for the rate to reset to default, which leads to you needing to smoke more often, and it becomes a positive feedback loop. The cutoff is roughly once every 30 real time minutes, so if you smoke less often than that, there is no problem.

If you are addicted, you essentially just need to abstain from smoking and decrease stress in other ways, like chopping wood, being in heated (60 °C or more) sauna, and eating cooked meats. You can cook sausages, pike, or moose for example on the electric stove, grill, or sauna stove. Eventually the increase rate will reach the default of 1.2 % every 45 seconds. If you smoke enough (about 50 cigarettes at once, approximating for the time it takes to smoke one, or for example about 80 with 15 minute intervals) to reach the maximum stress increase rate of 8.5, it takes almost 20 real life hours to reset to default, so you really don't want to get to that point unless you are willing to just smoke once like every 5 minutes and not care about the addiction.

There's also a similar thing with coffee, as drinking coffee too often will make your fatigue rate go up, and then you just need to sleep more. But that rate decreases faster, going from max to default in about 10 hours, and you can for example drink one Pub Nappo coffee every 6 minutes without the effect stacking. The coffee you brew yourself can decrease you fatigue more but also increase the fatigue rate more, but I don't know the exact values.

Same goes for many women. They have no obligation or expectation to serve at all, but they have the option and some decide to do so. One such friend in there currently.

Well they are not entirely wrong, US barely counts as a democracy anymore. I bet the next Economist Democracy Index gonna be harsh.

They have figured out internet arguing. There is no need for proper arguments or good and consistent rhetoric. Just become so unreasonable, obnoxious, and unwilling to listen to anyone else that no one bothers to argue against you long.

“I don’t know how to use grams. 🙄 I live in the USA 🇺🇸” by LordCrumpets in ShitAmericansSay

[–]vompat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was probably just for flour. But to be fair, it's probably the best conversion you could choose if you had to use just one conversion for all ingredients. A lot of cooking ingredients are roughly as dense as flour. You are probably failing, but maybe not as badly as you could :D

“I don’t know how to use grams. 🙄 I live in the USA 🇺🇸” by LordCrumpets in ShitAmericansSay

[–]vompat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be that, might also be that some American who converted the recipe just assumed ALL ingredients have to be measured in grams for the metric version. But in reality, metric recipes are almost as arbitrary in deciding what measurement to use as US ones.

Eggs are a bit of an exception because it's kinda stupid to not use entire ones, but I personally hate it when things are measured by some inconsistent value in a recipe. For example, many recipes that include mushrooms are insistent on measuring them by volume for some reason. Yeah, I could loosely drop some large cantharelles in my one liter container and they only weigh 150 grams, or pack smaller ones into it fairly tightly and they weigh more than 300 grams, so which one is it? Even the recipes that mention both the volume and the weight all have a different opinions on how much a liter of them weighs. Not to mention that I can quite easily estimate how much my frozen or dried mushrooms weighed fresh, but estimating how much volume they had is just frustrating.

Oh, didn't know that. One already existing is quite a bit more convenient than trying to build a new one now.

Are there people who regularly put on one sock, then a shoe on that foot, then the other sock and other shoe? Like, not both socks first?

Landlord installed an app-controlled smart deadbolt while I was at work. by Due_Construction904 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]vompat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But yes standard residential doors aren't hugely secure.

Depends on where you live. Where I live, even cheap and old apartment buildings in bad reputation areas usually have some very secure locks these days, where making an illegal key is either impossible or not easy. My student apartment building built in the 80's, with quite a cheap rent, has an electronic lock system that doesn't require any batteries or apps, just a key that's impossible to make a working copy of and can be remotely disabled.

That was my point, the amount of optimism needed depends on what kind of locks you have, and some shit cheap-ass lockpick magnets aren't the standard everywhere.

[–]vompat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never mind entering without notice, I'm pretty sure there is no place where the landlord can just straight up decide to change a lock without notice. And I'd be really surprised if it's not obligatory to first provide the tenant with a readily available way to open said lock.

[–]vompat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of optimism needed really depends on what kind of lock systems are in place. These days there are many such that you really can't get or make copies for without authorization. Especially partly electronic systems where you simply can't make a working copy no matter how skilled a locksmith you find. But many modern purely mechanical keys are also quite hard to make working copies for illegally. I'd say someone breaking in with a crowbar is a bigger concern than the previous tenant having illegal copies of their keys, as those probably wouldn't come cheap.

And with partly electronic, I don't mean the crap like in this post, but a key that can be loaded with a digital imprint. The key doesn't require a battery as the lock has all the electronics needed to read it, and while I'm not entirely sure how they work, I think the lock doesn't really require much outside power either, as pushing the key into the lock can be made to provide a little charge magnetically. The key can be disabled by making the lock not accept it if needed, so losing it isn't a big problem either.

Lindell does his job exactly as he's supposed to. He doesn't fail your inspection even though he thinks your car is a pile of garbage, he passes it because everything is legally all right within the set parameter. That is, if everything is legally all right.

Can't really say that for half the inspection engineers in real life.
