The Princess Bride
... Sorry. It's just not good.
Thank you so much!
I hadn't really considered how much of the knowledge is local. That makes sense though, in a duh why didn't I already think of that kind of way.
I'm not ready to get started yet but I like reading about potential future hobbies or things I just find generally interesting, such as bee keeping, so the general knowledge will be fine for now.
Hello! I have considered getting into bee keeping as a retirement thing but I don't know a good resource to start learning.
Are there any good online communities you can recommend, forums, etc?
This is probably the best explanation I've seen so far and really helped me actually understand what it means when we talk about "weights" for LLMs.
Mmmmmmm me likey.
GIVE ME BACK ASHERON'S CALL!!
Patron/vassal pyramid scheme experience gain system that incentivized helping out less experienced players because you got a % of their XP (at no loss to them) and their vassals, etc etc...
Back in the day when you didn't have an online guide for everything. World was HUGE and there was no real fast travel, but there was a crazy portal network. Random portals in the middle of nowhere that would dump you out at other random parts of the map. Portals exiting dungeons randomly take you somewhere else. I had a spiral ring notebook of portal coords and sometimes to get somewhere it was 7-8 hops through a few dungeons... Or hours running across the map trying to not get janked by high level mobs or other PVP players.
That era of MMO will never live again, and it's a damn shame.
There are no sources for that because it's so wrong and dumb I don't think you can even find one that would claim it.
-tons of natural resources (oil, precious metals, fisheries, timber)
-tons of undeveloped land
-unique landscapes for USA
-crazy strategic value to geography (Aleutian chain, proximity to VERY quickly melting arctic ice passages to other parts of the world that have historically been nigh impassable)
-it reliably votes red every general election, and most Alaska senators and house reps are Republican (even if they are more often the odd-votes)
The list goes on. The comment you're replying to is one of the dumbest trump speculations I've ever seen. Trump has enough we can speculate on, we don't need to make up nonsense.
I still listen to this at least weekly, the album is in my regular gym rotation because
A) it's hard for me to listen to lyric heavy music and count reps correctly (brain no work good during ugga dugga) and
B) It's amazing.
You need zero poker experience to play it. It's not a poker game at all, just uses poker hands for scoring, and if you don't know them they're all displayed if you hit esc.
It wasn't for me either at first but I gave it another shot and it got its hook into me.
What helped me was looking up a scoring/basic strategy guide that helped me figure out what super rookie mistakes I was making - this gave me a better eye for strategy when I was playing, which in turn translated to me enjoying the deck building aspect (which is a mechanic I know I enjoy).
The game is good, and really great to pick up and put down in busts if you don't have a lot of time.
Hope you end up liking it eventually! I LOVE poker of all types, rogue likes, and deck builders so I thought this was a smash hit when I heard about it, but yeah, took a while to love it.
I've got some fat balls to put on that beach lol gottem
Look man I sort of get what you're saying but I was an electrician for a decade and I'm telling you nobody would consider a gaming computer a continuous load, like ever. UNLESS it was a business that sold time on a gaming computer, as I originally stated.
If a homeowner hired me and for some reason was adamant that I apply the 80% rule to a convenience circuit I'd probably walk away from the job because that customer is likely to be more trouble than they're worth because they think they understand the (extremely complicated and nuanced) code that I work with on a daily basis. It's not a threat to my license to do this install at all, just my sanity to deal with engineers that think they know better than tradesmen.
If I did take the job it would be unnecessarily expensive in terms of materials.
A normal 20A breaker will trip if you're overloading it - that can be either instantaneous current draw (say 23 or 24A at one time) or it can be because you're at 18A for a couple hours straight. That's how they're designed (does depend on the breaker but what I'm talking about is fairly standard). So there's literally no reason to do what you're suggesting. A properly installed, inspected, code compliant 15 or 20A circuit is plenty for current gaming computers. IF you start to go overboard pop and you unplug some other stuff and carry on, because that's how the system is designed.
I do not recommend homeowners do circuit upgrades themselves, because you can't just throw a higher amperage breaker on a circuit and call it a day, that's how you get fires. I agree that people in old homes, or even newer homes that they buy, should have a licensed electrician inspect their homes. A lot of what I've been saying about the reliability and capacity of circuits doesn't stand when you get back past the early 90s. NEC is updated every three years and the code is written in ashes and blood.
But if your house was built correctly after I'd say 1990 or 95 in the USA, everything I'm saying applies. It can apply for older homes also, but yeah, get an inspection done.
