Foolproof Puns

Starting off, something last chapter offered us through the name of Eddie's ultimate technique is more insight into the real world cultural inspiration for the concept of WuHei, and actually might just be the key to the huge mysteries in the story.

Eddie's ultimate move is called Mount Tai North Star EightFold Demolition Fist. Why is this relevant? Because in Chinese Mythology, Mount Tai (a real mountain in China) is most associated with WUfang Shangdi, the FIVE manifestations of a singular deity, just as their are five inheritors of Wu Hei's spirit. Each of the five have a cardinal point, star, and color associated with them except for one. The **North** manifestation, Heidi, PRONOUNCED EDDIE, is known culturally as the dark warrior or black god, similar in meaning to that of Eddie Wu's epithet, the King of Hades.

Going further down the mythology rabbit hole, it turns out that Huangdi, the Yellow color of the five (and the only one without a cardinal point), is also known as the yellow dragon king . Culturally it is known that Huangdi is a hero, why? Because he faced and defeated YANDI, often referenced as simply Yan, the emperor. Yan is the name of the worm leader ! Who do we know with the epithet of dragon king in Kengan? Gaoh Ryuki. Gaoh is the fifth Wu Hei, and he is the connector.

Something minor and inconvenient, not traumatic, and listen to his reaction.

eg. On the train home from work, a man stood on your foot.

A HVM will consider you his partner, or possible future partner and will care about your well-being and have sympathy for your experiences. He will be able to empathise with you and guess what you felt.

A HVM will agree that the incident sucked, the man was rude, and know that it left you shaken/angry/disrespected. He'll listen and comfort you and make space for you to be annoyed for as long as you want, knowing that it's not about him.

An LVM will empathise with the aggressor. Put himself in the shoes of the antagonist. Dismiss your experience and get you to give the man the benefit of the doubt, because he himself is an asshole and wants to groom you into giving him the benefit of the doubt later on. He'll freak out and get you to cut your emotions short because he can't handle being around a justifiably annoyed woman. Because angry women start realising we don't deserve disrespect.

Excuse away the behavior - “well maybe he was in a rush”

Men are more important/productive - "maybe he had a hard day at work and was tired"

Mansplain - “well men's shoes are thicker so he didn't even know he stepped on your foot”

Psychoanalyzing - "maybe you reminded him of his ex-wife"

Minimize - “that's not a big deal. Did you DIE? No.”

Gloss over, dismiss - “Cool, so, we hooking up tonight?”

Distract - "Did you see the car crash on Main Street?"

Cheer you up - "Favourite store is having a sale"

Annoyance - “Why are you telling me this?”

Accusations - “God, you're so dramatic. Always so hysterical and looking for fights in public”

Spoiled the mood - "We were having such a nice dinner. Why do you have to ruin the evening?"

Delay your needs - "Well I was just about to propose, but I can see you're in a bad mood"

Not the right time - "Can we talk about this later, I'm not in the mood"

Self-absorption - "Can't you see I'm reading? You need to be more considerate of others"

Takes it personally - “Woah, why are you mad at me?”

Pity party - "It makes me feel so bad that men are like this and women hate all men because of it :("

NAMALT - "You can't demonize all men because of this one guy! You can't live your life in fear!"

Doubt - “Are you sure it happened that way?”

Disbelief - “I find that highly unlikely”

Solipsism - “I've never seen that happen... (so you're lying)”

Forcing you to prove it - “Show me your foot

Hi.

To me, Righteous Fire is a scary skill to use, since you must offset its self-damage, and 90% hp/sec just seems huge! I took some time and created a leveling process that transitions into Righteous Fire and dumbed it down, then recorded step-by-step into Path of Building.

And here I present to you the Foolproof Righteous Fire Guide:

https://pastebin.com/kp8awsX9

This is my first guide, with full explanation how to gear and when to pick up skill gems, and believe me I made it excruciatingly easy, if that's a thing. If you are like me, wanting to run Righteous Fire but finding it daunting, I hope I can help you with this guide.

It only covers the leveling process and early mapping, from there you can farm up to achieve your favorite build. A template, if you will. It doesn't even require an ascendancy so you can decide later once you get familiar with the skill.

So a team trains a team of osprey so that when a ball is going to be a homerun they swoop in catching the ball midair and dropping it to a fielder thus making it an out. This is foolproof because ospreys are wild animals and other MLB teams would be oblivious to the fact that they are trained. I would not be surprised to see a team use this in the near future. It can also be undetectable for people rewatching the games on YouTube like they did for the Astros because MLB can edit the ospreys out in post production. I think this is completely foolproof and the ultimate cheat.

Refer to this article: https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/glossary/ex-dividend-dates-when-are-you-entitled-stock-and

1. GameStop announces marketplace and dividend either tomorrow or sometime next week. Declaration date + 1 week is most common for Ex Dividend date (day you must own share to get dividend) brings us to Dec 24 if declared tomorrow

2. From there the company has 30 days to issue the dividend. So GameStop would release the dividend on January 24th

As this is happening. Everyone realizes only ComputerShare will be able to get the dividend (wu?). And we have the next 36 days to lock the float. Game over Anon.

3. After millions of shares are left at brokerages RC in some way takes GameStop to DeFi. Either through another 1:1 dividend or just delisting and relisting on DeFi. Everyone (including synthetics) get a token representative of a share.

4. There are millions of synthetics that can’t figure out how to create an NFT synthetically (hint: YOU CANT MOTHAFUCKAS) and the price implodes

5. Oh did I forget to mention it’s January 28th? Whoops, MOASS

[Edit 1]: https://www.irmagazine.com/technology-social-media/how-overstock-used-blockchain-distribute-its-digital-dividend. Good article for those that haven’t read Overstock winning crypto dividend court case

[Edit 2]: some of you don’t understand what hype/fluff means. A little tin foil never hurt no one.

Step 1: Farm lots and lots of prime sets from relics
Step 2: Get burnout from farming prime set too hard and quit the game for anywhere from six months to several years
Step 3: Log back in and chances are at least one of the primes you farmed will be worth a tonne of plat.
Step 4: Rinse and repeat.

Alternatively you can just sell syndicate mods for 10p each by just playing the game but where's the fun in that?

Does this mean I'm a fool? Careful how you answer that, as I am actually posting on behalf of my wife 😂😉

She followed the recipe exactly, although we do not have a cast iron pan. She used a stainless steel pan similar to this one. I will be attempting to make a pizza with the second half of the dough tonight, so I am curious what I should change, if anything.

Reading the comments of the recipe have led me to these ideas:

1. More oil in the pan
2. Dry out the dough with more flour
3. Sprinkle cornmeal under the dough

Anyone know why the pizza stuck? Any thoughts or idea on how to avoid it again? Thanks!

Edit: Our oven also maxes out at 250 C (~480 F) - not sure if that could be playing a role

EDIT : SOLUTION HERE https://www.reddit.com/r/gamemaker/comments/sfdpxl/avoiding_0kb_corruption_when_writing_file_on_disk/?

Hi. My game released recently and some of the users report a problem with the savefiles not writing properly on the disk : they end up with a 0kb file. The problem has been happening with less than 1% of the players, and it's very random (usually after several hours of continuous play, players report still having a lot of RAM available).

It looks a lot like a config issue. Is there any way one of these function could silently fail ? Is there a better way to write file on the disk ?

//Write data to file
var _saveString = json_stringify(_saveData);
var _bufferSrc = buffer_create(1, buffer_grow, 1);
buffer_write(_bufferSrc, buffer_string, _saveString);
var _bufferCompress = buffer_compress(_bufferSrc, 0, buffer_tell(_bufferSrc));
buffer_save(_bufferCompress, "temp_" + global.SavefileName);

In episode 2 of the Wheel of Time show, a "Questioner" stopped Moiraine and (ostensibly) suspected that a woman and an armed man could possibly be Aes Sedai. Why don't they just demand that every woman/man combination they meet simply lie?

"Just one thing before you proceed. Please state, directly, 'my clothing is yellow'. Just that sentence and you're free to go."

An Aes Sedai would not be able to repeat a blatant falsehood, would they?

Looking for recommendations for a pocket EDC tool or set of tools that are TSA approved knowing that it’s up to the mood of the agent on duty and you can always buy a sharp tool in country.

Wondering what people have had the best luck with, and a combination of tools that are actually useful when traveling by plane.

I have a niche zero and lelit Bianca and seem to be getting non consistent extractions. Sometimes the extraction time for the same grind/beans/dose/ratio is + - 3-5 seconds.

Are there any other tools / certain tampers that can give a more consistent puck for a newbie? Or maybe a certain way to use the wdt that will give better results?

Current process: Weigh dose Spritz dose with water Grind into portafilter Wdt grounds Tamp with normcore v4

I'm expecting to recieve a bootable Linux USB sometime soon since my personal computer's OS is broken, so until then I'm stuck with a school chromebook. Problem is, the school is able to block websites and/or maybe track my activity, so my freedom is limited. Any help?

Edit: I finally got my Linux Mint in the mail, so this is no longer needed. Thank you all for the advice!

Made all of these in last couple of weeks. Loved them all. Pizzas were awesome! Did one traditional and the other used bbq sauce base and did red onion cheddar cheese and chopped up some brisket I had made.

Then made the chicken satay with peanut sauce and found a great recipe for coconut rice to go with it!

Shepherds pie was great for the cold rainy days we’ve had and uses many of the same ingredients as the meatloaf so made that afterwards!

Happy cooking all!

So I started the skimcoat process of renovating my recently purchased home. I've done about 35% of the first skimcoat in my first room and I am not having a good time. I don't like the results and amount of time it takes.

Am I using too much mud or too little mud? I don't know. Am I applying too much pressure or too little? I don't know. Which side do I apply the pressure to so as to avoid lines. I don't know. I'm getting chatter, lines, blah blah blah.

I have tried the paint roller method and may try it again, but I just didn't care for it. Taking the mud off still requires a good amount of skill to get that truly flat surface as well.

Even though I suck at this, I'm not dissuaded and will continue. I have hopes that applying the 2nd coat will clean things up to something I'm happier with. Still, I can't help but feeling there's a better way that's more foolproof, faster, and better results.

I recently discovered flatboxes. They seem like the right tool to not only apply the mud, but take it off evenly and without much experience required. They're 'expensive' compared to a standard knife set, but not when I consider how much I have to skimcoat and how much time/aggravation they may save me.

Am I right that a flatbox is the ultimate tool to apply a skimcoat? Is there something even more efficient, foolproof, etc?

Any advice on finding the right tool for the job is appreciated.

**EDIT - I should note I'm trying to skim the whole wall and ceilings; not just seams. I'm doing this to remove an orange peel texture.

For the past two years, I've felt copious amounts of heartache, owing to relationships and flings that I entered out of a need for validation. When I realized they were damaging me emotionally, I cut them all off. But the damage still persists - and guess what? I kept rereading chats, stalking them on Instagram. Some had blocked me, some I had blocked; either way, I kept finding myself on their profile pages courtesy the five burner accounts sitting on my phone.

I think I did this because I was clinging to a sense of familiarity, even if it was painful. I was reliving both the bad and the good times emotionally by rereading old conversations and frequenting their profiles to see what their life looked like without me. Realizing this, I took a measure to stop this for good.

I generated random new passwords for all my accounts online. I kept them fairly long to ensure they weren't memorable in the least. Then one by one, I changed all my passwords by copying and pasting the random text generated, before deactivating all the accounts. I kept a copy of the account names and the new passwords in a text file placed in an obscure location. I took this measure to make it as hard as possible to open Instagram again, and it's working great thus far.

I've deactivated accounts before, but I've always found myself logging back in a few days to check 'in case something new had come up'. But now I'd like to make sure that I have the time and space to heal. I've also stored any and all photographs I had with said persons in a compressed folder in a similarly obscure location. Reddit, this is working. Every time I get the urge to reread a chat, I remember it's not there anymore and am forced to do something else. I hope those urges will start dying out soon too.

Here's to deciding to be better.
