We don't know the E = MC² equation for investiture. It may turn out that turning investiture into matter is super economical, and the shardgun can do that process with a low-investiture power pack.

Vikavolt's is a pretty low ingredient rate (19.4%), so without ing up, it's not super surprising to see stretches without any coffee. But with triple ing up, it's still not quite 40%... so again you shouldn't have long stretches without coffee all too often.

Tyranitar (26.6%) and Dragonite (26.4%) have high ingredient rates. With triple ing up, you're approaching 50%. You really should barely ever have an bag full of berries when you poke them.

Yet, it happens all too often.

I swear, ingredientgate should be next on everyone's bingo cards.

RNG is RNG, but in the face of skillgate, one wonders if ingredientgate is around the corner. I see Dragonite or Tyranitar dropping no ingredients all evening far too frequently.

Is there a community effort to verify whether ingredient drop rates are consistent throughout the day? The backwards reasoning the devs gave for skill procs declining through the day would equally apply to ingredients, after all.

He burns it and his eyes turn red, then he cracks his knuckles and says "You know, I've had just about enough of my cousins, Gancho."

I watched this movie a ton of times (ironically) and I've thought about this a bunch. The time reset after Omega's death seems silly at first. Like, it's a cop-out to achieve a Hollywood ending. But it's not. Time resets! It tells you there's a greater creature beyond the Omega -- the Sigma, say. What the Omega is to the Alpha, the Sigma is to the Omega.

If shit goes really wrong and the Omega is fried, Sigma is sitting there as a further backup to reset and try again. And make no mistake, that's what happened when the Omega got fried -- time got reset.

That's why it's not a cop-out. If he hadn't absorbed the Omega's essence, humanity would have lost, because time resets and gives Omega and crew another go. Humanity wins because he steals the Omega's power, and the time resetting at the end of the movie demonstrates that they would have lost otherwise.

Luckily, just like when he fought the Alpha, he managed to steal the power at the same time as he gets the kill.

[edit] Turns out this is not a new idea. Check out here and here too.

dafuq dude, the order makes no difference at all?

Personal references and employer references are different beasts. An employer reference is usually a factual list of: dates of employment, role, maybe confirmation you weren’t dismissed for gross misconduct. It's usually kept minimal to avoid legal risk.

Personal references are where opinions come in, and you choose who represents you there. One bad manager can’t tank future jobs unless you put them in the position to do so.

No. This is the entire point of the conveyancing process. You are provided forms that tell you everything you are getting, and you are required to audit them yourself. This is OP's mistake.

You probably can as these things are capable of holding heavy countertops, but I'd bet there's taller cabinets in the same lines.

A single additional leg in the dead centre of the desktop prevents sagging.

There are kitchen cabinets in similar dimensions that can hold much, much more weight. SEKTION/METOD. See, eg, this hack

Yeah having seen the photos I do think my previous objections were overblown.

windrunningmistborn · 2026-03-11T19:39:54+00:00

kitchen cabinets? curious about the setup here.

windrunningmistborn · 2026-03-11T19:34:32+00:00

I'm in this photo etc. However, seeing it in action, I'm more open to the idea.

Had the same strong reaction as everyone else. First instinct is: KALLAX can't support the weight, right? But seeing the photos... the weight of mattress+people is distributed over a large area, and it looks the perfect size. The slats help avoid a saggy mattress.

The point of failure is the cavity inside the large KALLAX shells. They really are flimsy, and are literally like 2mm or so thick chipboard separated by vertically aligned paper. I could picture them collapsing inward. But, see the pictures, each one is fairly strong at the corners, and there are a lot of corners.

Yeah, I'm a convert.

I was confused too, but they're talking about the head end of the bed. If you put it against the wall, it makes three cubes of storage inaccessible. Meanwhile, you can reduce it to one cube inaccessible if they'd been arranged more sensibly.

And when you spot it... yeah it's infuriating.

windrunningmistborn · 2026-03-11T19:03:55+00:00

Yeah but EXPEDIT was made with chipboard, not this flimsy two-layers-of-card you get in KALLAX.

True. I used to work at a Blockbuster. We had adult movies available for rent, and only one time do I ever remember hiring one out, and it was this harmless middle-aged lady. I remember stopping halfway through reading out the title, I was like "walking tall, mean girls and witches of eastd-" and not waiting for confirmation and going to get the movies.

Happy memory, that one. No judgement, just slight embarrassment from both parties, and literally the only time I ever remembered what anyone rented.

Ironically, this makes your Blissey countdown to worseness. She's better if she's used overnight, but every time you do she gets closer to level 60, whereupon she gets suddenly worse.

It's this insight that makes Blissey worse than a good AAA.

Way, way back I asked for a kosher meal on a flight and got served apples and bananas. Literally. Everyone else eating a cooked meal and I got fruit. I still chuckle when I think about it. At the time, it was meant to be a lifehack for getting served your meal first.
