I'm a bit behind on this but Eternal's reward structure feels -so good-. Coming from hearthstone's once-a-day heres a shitty thing you don't want to do for half a pack in gold, getting a guaranteed two packs a day (and what, 12 cards a pack?) Feels awesome. Much more so the fact that you can just ignore quests, play, and actually earn packs from normal play...

So good.

I feel like if hearthstone did a similar thing they'd just hide the most recent set behind a paywall... and it'd still be better than what it is now.

btw dota has some issue with shift queueing self casts
like you can shift queue a self cast and then something else

kind of relevant with shadow amulet when you want to cast a spell during the fade time

yeah, the grind is still pretty real, but the sense of progression is so much better, you constantly get cards and gold just by playing the game. meanwhile in HS you need 30 wins to farm gold for a single 5-card pack lul

That is why the only mode I enjoyed in HS is arena. Where you could get a pack in 7 wins, which I wished to sell for gold for more arena. Instead I got cards. :/ Probably never went above 4.5 average so couldn't maintain it without breaks for quests to build up again. Though since I didn't care for cards I just swapped around on all three servers and that mostly covered my play time.

I'm beginning to think the top coat for nail polish is physically unbreakable. I'm using some to fill in a gap on a circuitboard because we want to planarize it, and was able to wear away the copper before I could put a dent into the top coat layer. What a material.

Sandpaper. I tried chemically removing it with acetone which burned too much away. Waiting on supervisor to let me try some other nail product.

This has already been done by the group, and shown to work, thankfully.

Artisreal yeah it's a fun lab. Lots of the kind of work a child may think about when you drop the word "scientist." It's definitely better than doing what some colleagues do, which is simulate circuits on a computer all day, and then take measurements when they're done. Or at least, I'm not a huge fan of waiting for simulations to finish because that's the time I spend writing my thesis.

Although there are frustrations that are hard to work around at times. Definitely a tradeoff.

Spicy_Curry thanks for the suggestion, I'm gonna read this one guy's thesis ("read") and see what he did in his process. Luckily for me, the person who figured out the nail polish stuff was the most recent person working in the lab.

Follow-up: I have found out through speaking with one of the guys I work with that nail polish, and top coat are not the same thing. I now need to go back to the drugstore and pick up some clear nail polish to continue these experiments.

I feel like I should bring this up in job interviews to be honest.

16 days later and I come back to a discussion on nail polish. Never change ootgd

It was freaking brutal but killed a bunch of shrimps. Got 6 days to recuperate and get a bunch of stuff done before it opens again.

I read like 10 pages tho and I’ll comment that I drink a LOT (64ozs minimum a day) of coffee both at home and while fishing. On boat I use either French press or pour over filter sometimes but it has to be nice weather for that. In emergencies/extreme weather/no time I use stupid Starbucks via packets which is only decent thing they’ve ever made and is “best” instant coffee I’ve had by a mile. At home I use a machine but grind it myself each morning.

Three things you fish off. Food. Sleep. Coffee. It’s extremely common to give up one. (Usually sleep). Sometimes 2 and it’s awful. But take away all three for a couple days and I’m looking for the person responsible so I can pitch their ass over the side.

My favorite thing I've read on the reddits in the past couple months has to be this :
10 games of experience is more than enough to challenge divine

Lol ohh gamers.

My buddy has played aboot 15 games of dota and normal vs AI games aren't a guaranteed win. Day9 is a solid gamer, has been playing for a few years, and is 3.2k. The only way 10 games is enough experience to challenge divine is if you played a decade of HoN / Dota 1 first.

I recently came into an extra pile of cash that's just about nintendo-switch sized, but i can't convince myself that -this- console is gonna be the one that doesn't just sit on a shelf collecting dust.

Just play it every day while walking to work. Don't worry about the rest.

I just did an interview that was suppose to be about soft skills / situations and I got asked 0 questions. Instead, they talked about their benefits :D
