I don’t mind very punishing death mechanics, but when pvp is involved I absolutely hate it. I play more than the average person, but when some sweaty ass pvp’er who plays 80 hours/week shows up, it’s just never going to be any kind of competitive fight. There is no way I will ever be able to do anything against that kind of player, and I’m also not in any way interested in trying. I like pve, not pvp.
Holy shit that is a bad take. The biggest turnoff in the world is someone acting like something they’re not. You also wouldn’t want to be with someone who hates you for who you are.
Here in Denmark we need the government 2FA to pay for our stuff online. It’s an extra identity check on the credit card to make sure the card hasn’t been stolen. We don’t do government vouchers here, because we have a very good safetynet based on a salary from the government if we’re jobless. Kinda like UBI, but you only get it if you don’t have a job, so not entirely UBI. The rate isn’t anything good, but it’s enough to survive.
Our 2FA is used for by far most things. Like if I want to login on my phone carriers website, I’ll use the 2FA. Need to check up on my taxes? 2FA. Sign legal documents? 2FA. The way it works is, I’ve chosen a username which I write on the website login page, no password is used here. Then I open the 2FA app, login, grant access. If I try to login to a website on anything else than my phone, I need to scan a QR code displayed on the website aswell. This way I only need to remember the password for the 2FA and my username. We haven’t had any issues with security in this system in the 4,5 years it’s been online.
It’s a pretty good system, if it’s any interrest it’s in Denmark.
My government 2FA can’t work on those OSs. Could get a physical device that shows the code, but that’s nowhere near as practical. Without that 2FA I can’t pay online, check mail from the government, login to my bank, move my adress, change my phone plan. Everything is set up through the 2FA, which is convenient as fuck, and super safe, but requires either Apple or Android.
And lets be real here for a second. It costs actual money to develop and update Plex. All these people being butthurt about no longer being able to watch everything for free are entitled as fuck. It’s okay to pay developers for their time and expertise. A carpenter expects you to pay them. A painter also expects you to pay them. A software engineer expects to be paid for their work, and they won’t if people use their software for free. If you don’t want to pay for it, download your own shit, and if you’re hosting for a lot of users, tell all the users to download their own shit.
Scandinavia, don’t know about the rest of Europe, but up here philips is pretty much exclusively for cheap furniture.
No, it’s not. Slow growth leads to a tighter grain, greater density, and reduced moisture content. All of those things make it stronger and more stable. That means less twisting and warping.
Sure, but in practice it’s all going onto a pallet and stored in badly humidity and temperature controlled warehouses, where it will dry out, then rehumidify, dry out, rehumidify, and so forth day after day. It doesn’t really matter how “good” the wood is, when its storing conditions are shit.
I recently did a renovation on my 1953 bungalow. The Douglas fir studs I removed from a wall are both laser straight and tough as guts. That wood is so hard that you can’t drive a modern nail into it without drilling a pilot hole first.
As a carpenter, I really have to ask you, why would you ever want this though? Sure, you may only need a post every 6 feet, but in reality, nomatter the strength, you’re going to frame it to be compatible with with your interior lining. Strength of wood is seriously not needed or wanted today. It just makes the wood expensive, heavy as fuck, and difficult to work with.
And while the wood may very well have been very straight, that’s what happens when you nail it into a frame, which will straighten it out, and place it in a controlled environment like inside a wall for 70 years. It’s going to conform to that shape. I have seen plenty of dense wood in buildings be crooked as a bow, because it wasn’t limited in its movement, or because it wasn’t shielded from constant change in the environment.

Possibly, but in practice it’s not going to be that much of a factor. If a piece of wood is laying in the middle of a big pile of wood in a warehouse without humidity control or temperature control, with a big garage door opening and closing 1000 times every day, like most building suppliers have, the wood is going to be twisted as fuck no matter how dense it is.
The wood will be stronger, sure, but in modern framing you don’t actually need the added strength. Slowly grown wood is going to be as crooked as fast grown wood. It’s a question about how and where it’s kept. If the wood goes through a lot of drying and remoisturing (not a native speaker, it seems like the wrong word, sorry) the wood will begin to twist and turn. If it’s being kept at a stable moisture and temperature, or at least being dried out consistently, it will stay straight.
It’s an interresting difference. Where I am, you can’t get construction screws with phillips. I don’t know when we switched, but I started as a carpenter apprentice about 10 years ago, and back then everything was torx.
I remember starting watching that. I have no idea how far I got, but I don’t remember a thing about it.
What we got was Bonnie and Clyde. I liked it though.
You don’t slave over Geuguessr like some sort of MMORPG?
Fuck no. They’ve been indoctrinated from birth to have a savior complex.
That was the only thing that pushed me out of bed for a while, the fact that I’d get to come home to the perfect woman later.
I’ve been hearing from americans my whole life, how the rest of the world doesn’t actually have free speech, while the USA has complete and total free speech, and is the most free country in the world ('Murica fuck yeee). Well congratulations americans, you can no longer voice your opinion in a private university without being arrested by the government. A university that WANT’S you to voice your opinion none the less. They’re not even trespassing, they have permission from this privately owned entity, to voice their opinion on this privately owned piece of land.
Nothing is hotter than a chick with a great visual representation of properly sourced data points. Little kid knows what’s good.
