- Comment on "We clearly handled that responsibility poorly": Paradox ban Discord profile pics of historical figures born after 1800, after bust-up with Hearts of Iron 4 players over Atatürk banning 3 days ago:
I don’t have the historical knowledge to comment on Atatürk as a figure, but I will reiterate that Paradox’s desire to avoid “taking a position” on history while designing historical sandbox role-play simulators is, at best, very flawed.
The author is implying it’s hypocritical of them but how are these two things in conflict? I haven’t played it, does the game have an obvious political bias?
I can’t see how drawing a line after 1800 will end the discussion around the usage of unofficial images of “controversial” figures, though I’m interested to know how they arrived at that particular date. Anyway, I’d like to read your thoughts.
It won’t but discord mods (famously stable people) don’t have to use personal judgement on a shitton of decisions if there’s a clear rule in place. And it’ll sure as hell cut down on arguments stemming from a user’s questionable choice of profile picture.
Paradox fucked up in the first place but this article feels like it’s looking for stuff to get mad at

Brutal! There’s so many DIY projects I’m willing to tackle but that is definitely not one of them

Oh the joys of homeownership lol
Pretty sure my foundation is sinking and I’m just not prepared to deal with it. Hopefully it holds for another year

I take it the frame is busted? If not you might be able to just adjust the hinges. I was amazed when I learned how many door problems can be fixed by shimming and carefully smacking the hinges

Great point. The deadbolt should move with no external Resistance.
Sound is a good indicator. The motor doesn’t just “get bad” over time like that unless it’s struggling so if it’s louder than when you got it, reassess the installation

Hey I haven’t used this model specifically but a PSA to anyone with a motorized lock:
If your battery is dying seemingly too fast (and it’s not an old battery), your deadbolt is probably misaligned. The friction takes a huge toll on the motor and battery life. They should last MONTHS at minimum.

Lol, I think that might be a coincidence. I would think anything beneficial would be counteracted by the salt but I’m not scientist

I somehow missed this, sorry!
I had 4 in water when I posted this and 3 wilted away. The last one sprung a decent root almost overnight and now it’s doing fine back in the soil.
I’m really wondering if it’s just the genes in this specific plant. I’ve been thinking about getting a “mystery box” of rooted cuttings from some established Etsy shop and those usually include adansonii so I’ll give it a try if it does
- Comment on Anyone have success propagating Monstera Adansonii? 5 weeks ago:
Another thing I haven’t tried: rooting while still connected to the mother plant. I might try draping a vine or two over a pot on a lower shelf
- Comment on Anyone have success propagating Monstera Adansonii? 5 weeks ago:
That sounds like my standard method! Sitting right next to the parent so I know it loved the conditions. I’m even struggling at my “prop station” with grow lights.
I feel like I could throw cuttings from any other monsteras on the floor and they’d somehow find a way to root so I’m starting to wonder if this plant is just an outlier.
- Comment on Anyone have success propagating Monstera Adansonii? 5 weeks ago:
Yep, I’ve got my special plant cutters that I keep clean with alcohol! They aren’t rotting away, they wither away before ever making a root.
I skimmed the page (will read it later) and saw a few tips I haven’t seen. I haven’t been bagging it and I haven’t tried laying it down flat on the soil!

- Comment on Blizzard fire World Of Warcraft developer over use of forbidden magicks to insta-kill bosses for regular players during dungeon run 2 months ago:
Context:
One of wow’s endgame activities is mythic+ dungeons. Infinitely scaling difficulty with a score system. Gotta kill X% of enemies + bosses in a dungeon within a timer. There’s a set of achievements for hitting certain scores (sum across all dungeons) and 2 more for being in the top 1% and 0.1%
This dev abuse was particularly egregious in this case because it was in the 0.1% range.
Also, small correction: they didn’t kill the boss. The group missed an enemy in an early part of the dungeon and didn’t realize until the end so the enemy count meter wasn’t full.
