Hola a todos,

Estoy planeando un viaje a Bucaramanga desde Cartagena. La mayoría de los vuelos tienen escalas en Bogotá. EasyFly ofrece un vuelo directo y no cuesta mucho más. ¿Debería elegir EasyFly? ¿Qué opinan de EasyFly? Gracias.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I've heard a lot of posts about how this is impossible and that you need to be genshin veterans or whales in order to clear this event. So, what I did was clear it, 4 gold medals, with just trials characters (I separated them in 2 teams in order to maximize strength) and my trash lvl 60 characters (and an undergeared fischl in 1 single trial for energy generation). I started with the 4th trial, in reverse order, until I reached the 1st trial. You're free to do whichever order you want. Start with the hardest ones

IMPORTANT NOTE: This was all done in 2.5x mode for the extra challenge. If you're only aiming for silver, which gives the full primogems, just go 1x mode which is significantly easier and doable. I've added a super quick guide for day 2 and 3 (silver) at the end of the post

Trial 1: The hardest, since the geovishaps are a pain to kill and I had used up the energy generation buffs, so I couldn't ulti 24/7. Hence, I used an undergeared fischl as an energy generator. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to use fischl and would've ult spammed + yoimiya autos to victory. Kill the cryo archers ASAP so you won't get frozen nonstop. Also, abuse the geovishap's constant attacks to use beidou's and yunjin's perfect counters and generate more energy. Kill the geovishap with the damaging rock waves buff first or you'll die. When they turn into their elemental forms, it becomes dangerous. Keep using the crystals they generate for some minor shielding

Trial 2: This event made me realize how Kazuha is absolutely broken. Add any random character who can apply pyro and another who can apply eletro - gear doesn't matter at all since they're just there to apply the elements. Get one energy generation buff and boom, easy match by abusing kazuha's constant overloads - it also breaks the geo slime's/lawachurl shields. Yanfei is only there for the elemental resonance. Use Lisa ult into amber ult into Kazuha E+ult and you'll get a pyronado with constant overloads that deals bazongas dmg. Kazuha E after the ult for more bazongas dmg. Or apply eletro to 1 enemy and pyro to another, followed by kazuha E to deal bazongas dmg. If you're having trouble with healing, give a prototype amber to lisa. Ah, I'm only using yanfei b

Do your worst!

I owned a 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance for roughly two years and 15,000 miles. I'm going to distill my key learnings and experiences here, in an attempt to educate others on EVs and reach some form of closure. My ownership could best be summed-up as a love/hate relationship, ending with crazy used car values offering me the out I'd been quietly seeking. Clearly, I decided EVs aren't for me - at least, not yet. I'm not a "paid big oil shill" or someone who's trying to short the stock, as I'm sure some of the Tesla nuts will claim. I'm just a car enthusiast (disclaimer: not an engineer) standing at the same crossroads as the rest of you, wondering what sounds future children will make long after (if?) our beloved bureaucrats outlaw the ICE.

Everything I'm writing here is based on my own unique tastes and preferences. How the pros and cons balance out at the end is entirely up to you. And that's fine. Choice is great. Note that this post centers on Battery EVs (BEVs) at the time of this writing, which comprise the vast majority of EVs on the road today.

And yeah. This got way longer than I anticipated. But it was cathartic for me and I hope it's at least somewhat useful to someone out there.

EV performance & its accessibility

I'll start with what ultimately sold me on the car - Immense, instant power. The war in the "pure acceleration" category is pretty much over - just take a look at Jason Cammisa's video with the Model S Plaid vs. the BMW M5 CS and Cadillac Crazy. They're not even on the same planet. Not only is the acceleration brutal, but it's consistent (everything else held constant - more on that later). Look up any number of 0 - 60 videos on YouTube, and you'll notice that the times are all remarkably close, especially if there are multiple runs in the same video.

And how could they not be? Software and traction control are fundamental to EV operation. Adjustments take mere milliseconds. The amount of "stuff" involved between your right foot and the tires is a joke compared to an ICE car. And it's basically idiot-proof - even with the Track Mode dialed to 100% hoon in my TM3P, it was nearly impossible to make a mistake. You just put your foot down and the car takes care of the rest, with literally zero drama.

Electric motors are great

And all of this performance comes with no mechanical sympathy. I never felt an ounce of it, flogging my Model 3 - there's really nothing to "break" mechanically in the way of the drivetrain. The ent

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Titan has some advantages over Mars, that potentially can make Titan a better alternative for human colonization.

The Titan advantage:

1. Titan has a thick atmosphere made primarily of nitrogen. The pressure at the surface is about 1.45 times Earth's atmospheric pressure. The Martian atmosphere, on the other hand, is very thin. It is less than 1% of Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level and is composed primarily of carbon dioxide. Titan's thicker atmosphere has a number of advantages:

• Airlocks are a lot simpler to design. The pressure inside a craft or a habitat can be equal to the pressure outside. The main thing you'll need to worry about is the cold.
• And … you don't need to worry much about pressurizing your habitat or EVA suit. You also don't need to worry too much about air leaks (a little extra nitrogen is harmless and humans can live a normal life at 1.45 atmospheric pressure).
• The combination of low gravity (14% of Earth) and thick atmosphere means that air travel will be very easy to implement. Winged airplanes and zeppelins will work on Titan even better than on Earth. (Using electricity, as there is no free oxygen.) With artificial wings, humans can fly on Titan using their own muscle power. How cool is that?

1. Titan gets much lower radiation. It has less galactic cosmic radiation because of the protection of Saturn's magnetic field, and Titan's thick atmosphere. Titan gets less powerful solar flares due to its distance from the sun. The lower radiation means people can live on Titan's surface for as long as they want, unlike the limited duration that Martian colonists can spend on the Martian surface. On Mars, colonists will have to hide under the surface most of their lives to protect themselves from radiation.

1. Titan has more water, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen. Minerals are important to support life. A large percentage of Titan's surface is made of solid water ice. Titan may have liquid water under the surface.
2. Titan is close to other moons, such as Enceladus, that may host life.
3. Titan has nicer scenery. It's the only celestial body with liquid lakes. If you chose to live in the upper atmosphere, in a zeppelin, or a city supported by hydrogen balloons, you'll be able to see Saturn. (Hydrogen balloons will be safe because Titan has no free oxygen, so no risk of f

We've allowed anti-intellectualism to burrow into Medicine. It came under the guise of a healthy patient-doctor relationship but it has allowed the expert's opinion to weigh equally with the patient and their 'knowledge'.

It's understandable why this has happened. It is a knee jerk response to the unhealthy paternalism in healthcare where patients were booked for surgery almost against their will, injured by treatments they didn't fully understand or consent to, terrible bedside manner, and by physicians claiming they know it all despite new evidence to the contrary.

We've come to a point in healthcare where everything is a debate if we're lucky, or an outright demand if we're not. We've got patients with acute and chronic diseases telling us what medicine they want prescribed, and what surgical techniques they have researched and done to their bodies to treat their ailment. There are numerous posts describing idiotic patient decisions that have to be tolerated in full view of a hospital setting due to patient autonomy and the strained healthcare system treating the complications.

We've got pseudo-medical practitioners walking our hospital corridors telling people which herbs to use, and they have full hospital privileges and the title of Dr. We have members of paramedical services telling patients that doctors don't know everything and they wouldn't recommend the treatments we have prescribed when joint manipulation, meditation, acupuncture and gingko biloba are equally efficacious. People who hit a ball for a living or wealthy comedians have medical opinions that are elevated to the level of our greatest medical experts.

And there is no end in sight. In Canada I watch as half the babies delivered by caesarean section are denied vitamin K by their mothers due to it being 'unnatural' and 'against her research' despite the fact that I blocked her spinal cord from transmitting pain signals only minutes before that. I have to watch as woke midwives book home deliveries for twin pregnancies on a farm that is hours from medical care, and we can't say anything without being reported to quality control. I have to tolerate birth plans in the OR where the patient's playlist competes with the sound of my monitors and strict ritualistic demands as to how the baby must be presented after birth and latched onto a breast in seconds to avoid losing a bonding experience that will ruin their childhood. We also have legislation moving that will see indigenous medicine b

She hadn't taken a name yet.

She was still a juvenile. Her carapace was teal with an iridescent sheen. It would be a few years yet before it darkened to the sapphire blue of an adult thinker, and she chose her name.

Still, she was old enough to leave the creche on her own, so long as she completed the day's studies. Math and physics, philosophy and art, along with dozens of other subjects. Thinkers studied more, and longer than any other caste. Well, except maybe the queens, but she didn't know for sure. Queens weren't raised in the creche, the queens raised their daughters themselves.

She liked to use her free time to study the bipeds. Her teachers had tried to discourage the interest. They weren't a psionically capable species, and so naturally of lower intellect. They were also a bit of a nuisance. Even with all of their military capabilities destroyed, they would build crude weapons to attack hives. Chemical rockets and the like.

The response had been simple. Place point defense lasers at every hive, and everything else worth protecting, then go back to ignoring the bipeds. They built their cities in plains and valleys, near bodies of water. The Drexi preferred rocky terrain, mountains, high deserts. Every once in a while she'd see one of the orbital laser cannons attack a surface target. That meant the bipeds were still trying to build ships or other military equipment, but there was simply no possibility of them posing a real threat.

She started her investigations with the written language. Despite the fact that they obviously possessed computers and electronic communications equipment, they seemed to like to commit knowledge to paper bound in animal hides or synthetic substitutes. Perhaps it was a cultural tradition. Whatever the case, it meant there were many examples of the written language available to study. Sometimes there were pictures, which was particularly helpful.

The language wasn't logically constructed. Any time she thought she'd figured out a hard and fast rule for grammar or spelling, she'd find an example that violated it. Eventually she thought she'd figured it out. It wasn't one language, it was many languages smashed together by someone who had no regard for order or decency.

Learning the "spoken" language would be more interesting. Th

The question of how best to balance martials and casters—if at all—has been handled very differently from edition to edition, and judging by online arguments about the topic dating back to at least 3.x and the early 00's, it's something that a lot of the playerbase (at least those who discuss it online) has very strong, and widely differing, opinions about.

The fundamental challenge of how to balance characters who have magic—which can potentially be said to do anything because magic isn't real—and those who do not is a tricky one, and there are a lot of different ways designers can potentially approach it. Broadly speaking, I think there are 6 possible approaches to balancing casters and martials. None of them is right or wrong for everyone, but they come with different advantages and tradeoffs that may appeal more to certain segments of the playerbase:

1.) Balance by different power curves. Common in older editions dating back to OD&D and Basic, this approach is to make casters much weaker than martials at early levels and eventually more powerful at higher levels (often, casters also level more slowly than martials as well). Sure a high level wizard might be godlike, but a level 1 wizard has 1d4 hp, no cantrips, 1 spell (which might not even be combat relevant if you rolled badly and only know something like Light), no armor and shitty weapons, all in a system where character death occurs quite frequently. Meanwhile the fighter comes out the gate ready to fuck shit up. In theory, this approach yields a balanced experience when evaluating a campaign in its entirety, in that if you were to actually plot out how many sessions each player spent being stronger than another it would look fairly balanced. In practice, if a campaign never gets to higher levels, the fighter is going to have spent the entire time being much stronger than the wizard, and judging by how every modern edition from 3.x onward has given wizards more spells earlier on, many people drawn to casters don't enjoy the prospect of having next to no magic for a while. This approach can also run into the problem that while casters look forward to levelling, martials hit a point where gaining XP as a party means they fall further behind, which can feel demoralizing.

2.) Martials gain strongholds and followers at higher levels to put them on even footing high level casters. Another common feature of some older editions like AD&D, as characters got higher levels they would ri

Pilot on me!!

It's been actually quite a few months since I read this book, but back then I didn't have an app like Reddit and a wide community like r/books in which to share my thoughts about my reads. So I wanted to talk about The Hobbit, this amazing book written by Tolkien, who (if I remember correctly) is considered the "founder" of modern fantasy genre. And I love fantasy literature. Watch out for spoilers if you haven't finished it!

Before opening it, I expected it to be a difficult read, with complex writing and even more complex world building... but damn, I was wrong! After the first chapter, which was a really nice introduction and easy to comprehend, I fell in love with the book. The way it was written - humorous and fairy-tale like - absolutely charmed me. The world building was interesting and really amazing, it seemed detailed with a lot of love put into it. The story was very engaging, and all the adventures and troubles they experienced were amusing, I found myself swifting through the pages. Many moments put a smile on my face. I loved how Bilbo, after every adventure, became less of a "lazy and monotonous" guy and growed to be a brave and wise hobbit. I remember that I was so hyped when I reached the chapters where the crew arrived to the Lonely Mountain, where the evil and gold-obsessed dragon Smaug was keeping the dwarves' treasure to himself. I found myself attached to most characters and I even feared for their lives at times, especially Bilbo. I liked that a part of the book was happening without Gandalf's presence to protect the crew. He's always been protecting and assuring their security, it was interesting to see how Bilbo and the dwarves would handle their own situation by themselves, without a magician backing them up. Toward the end, the story took an amazing turn. Smaug flying off to destroy Lake Town, because of the dwarves' mistake. Bard getting allied with the Elves after the treasure was supposedly left with no guardian. Thorin regaining his inherited kingdom and treasure, but he turned out exactly like Smaug: twisted and selfish. All those misunderstandings and "betrayals" resulting into a bloody war... It was kinda sad to see Bilbo and Thorin's friendship getting ruined because of a mere treasure. And, even though I was mad at Thorin, I was really sad that he ended up dying. But at the very last moment, Bilbo reconciled with Thorin and he admitted his mistakes.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

#An Introduction to Piracy

Most of us have torrented something at some point, whether it’s a game, movie, book, song or TV show, but just for those who haven’t, I’ll explain the basics.

When you go to a site like The Pirate Bay or Kick Ass Torrents, and click ‘Download Torrent’, all you’re really getting is a link. Programmes like Bittorrent or Vuze are able to open those links, and will let you download almost any file, legal or not. But you’re not downloading it from a server somewhere, a website, or a single person, you’re downloading it from dozens, sometimes thousands of people at the same time, all around the world. Those are known as ‘seeders’. And while you do that, other people are downloading the file from you. They’re ‘leechers’. The original distributor of the file created that torrent, and submitted it to torrenting websites so that other people could find it, but once they’ve shared the full file once, they can break off their connection to the torrent.

This is known as ‘Peer to Peer’ file sharing, and it’s the primary means of distributing media illegally, because it’s basically impossible to stop. If a website is hosting episodes of Game of Thrones, you can shut the website down. If a person is sending out files, you can sue them. But no company or corporation, however powerful, can stop a torrent (though many have tried).

Sharing a movie or a song is easy – you just distribute the file. It will work no matter who downloads it. But games are different. Since a game is made up of loads of files working in tandem and tangled up in a confusing spider-web of code, the developer is able to ‘booby trap’ the game so that it doesn’t work when it’s copied.

For as long as developers have been doing this, savvy hackers and programmers have been working to undo it. When they do, the developers go back to the drawing board and come up with something smarter.

Cassettes were easily duplicated, so the industry invented consoles with more secure cartridges and built-in ROMs that could detect fakes. Pirates reverse-engineered the consoles to make their own duplicate consoles which could run both legitimate and fake copies. So the industry moved to CDs, because they had more storage space and could be fitted with new security features. Pirates cracked the CDs. Developers started requiring a game key, so pirates created key-genera
