I'm about 30% of the way thru Dread. At least I think I am. Just got the Speed Booster. IMHO it's as good and I think better than Super Metroid. Don't kill me thread. I'm 42. So I played Super day 1 in 94. Played thru it at least 50 times as well as Fusion, ZM, AM2R, Samus Returns all at least 10 times each. Dread might be the best one yet. Either that or I'm just so happy with it and Hunter X. They're what I consider pure MVs. I hate souls likes with extremely difficult combat and not a lot of superb movement

I own a 2016 sport with a 6-speed manual transmission. Recently, I have been turning off traction control all the time while driving, unless in poor conditions. I've noticed an increase in acceleration and better gear shifting from first to second and better throttle response in general. Has anybody else done this and noticed the same, or am I just crazy?

Namesake: Maniac by Michael Sembello
User: Ruby Lee (By Bill Withers)
Ability: Maneater Maniac draws some of Ruby's blood, which creates a scent spanning 1 mile. This scent increases and activates hormones such as Oxytocin, bringing affected people to the user's location, whether they like it or not. Once they're within 10 meters of the user, the real ability starts. Within 10 meters of the user, the hormones Parathyroid and Erythropoietin are thrown out of balance, causing their calcium and red blood cell production to either skyrocket out of control or dissipate entirely. The victim does within seconds. However, from the moment the stand draws her blood, Ruby starts taking in these same hormones. Though using this ability for more than a moment would kill anyone else, Ruby has built up partial immunity over time.
Stand Appearance:
Maniac is a humanoid with long, sharp fingers. Its lower torso is an exposed ribcage, which extends down with extra ribs. It has no legs, but the lower six ribs on the ribcage act as its legs, similar to an insect's legs. The stand has an unhinged jaw, with a large mouth filled with small, razor-sharp teeth. The stand has no eyes, but the sockets are sewed shut with thread, similar to some of the stuff shown in Diavolo's backstory.

User Info:
Ruby Lee is the essence of a "Maneater". She's a stunningly beautiful woman, yet has been diagnosed with sociopathy. She's been placed in prison for first degree murder once, but got out on bail. She didn't always have her stand, but when or where she got it are both mysteries.

My grandmother used to make a similar recipe. I loved eating this for dessert when I was a kid.

I'd like some tips making caravans, anything you can offer, from basic to advanced, I have seen a lot of stream hours but my personal knowledge in the game is still lacking
I believe it makes sense that the best time to form them is right after you get raided (especially if you playing with Phoebe) so you won't get ambushed with less people in your colony
But I find myself extremely busy after I get raided, either rebuilding defenses/recuperating, or harvesting/recruiting prisoners
Also about the caravan themselves
I saw someone building and uninstalling a few bedrolls to carry with, I guess they sleep fastebetter during travel
Few animals to increase carry capacity and speed ok, though it increases visibility
It also seems a mod I added has added foraging in my game so there is even less need for food? (Did not remember that, though I haven't done caravans often)
I take always at least one medical person just in case (and make a sleeping medical spot on the map in case of emergency)
But generally, should I send like, 30% of my population for attacking a hostile location? Just 1-2 guys for trading/gifting?
I have trouble evaluating the severity of situations
Got raided multiple times by humans/mechs and dealt it with ease (even sappers) but a few Alpha Animals annihilated my fully geared colonists unexpectedly, specifically 10 Angel Moths, and later 1 Galatros
They just wouldn't die fast enough
In my understanding, drop pods make it even simpler since you eliminate the "get there" part (especially gifting)
Perhaps make a "caravan animal" ranch, send bunch of heavy materials to gift/sell, also sell/gift the animals and return with silvegold/light stuff like components/medicine?

BENEATH THE WAVES
Killer: The Captain
Survivor: Joseph Markins
Map: Lost Ship Yard - Baker’s Port
The Captain
Height: Tall
Terror Radius: 32m
Movement Speed: 4.6m/s
Weapon: Barros’ Cutlass
​
​
Killer Power
An Old Parrot
Your good friend, Barnaby, was your only friend left when your ship capsized.
Place your parrot in a spot around the map. The parrot can be placed on generators, obstacles, lockers, vault locations, and undropped pallets. When a survivor goes near the parrot when outside of your terror radius, the parrot will begin making noise, triggering consistent loud noise notifications. If a survivor gets near the parrot while inside your terror radius, the parrot will begin chasing the survivor, exposing the survivor’s aura. The survivor in question can try to shoo the parrot away, or kill it temporarily with a pallet. When shooed, the parrot will land in a random location. If killed, the parrot will respawn on your shoulder after seven seconds.
​
Special Attack: Your Trusty Tool
The Entity allowed you to keep some of your old tools such as your old Flintlock. Pressing the secondary active ability button will cause you to pull out your flintlock and fire it at the nearest survivor in line of sight. If the survivor is hit directly, the survivor will be instantly put into the dying state. If outside of eight meters when hit, the survivor will instead be afflicted with a deep wound. Using Your Trusty Tool, triggers a 30 second cooldown.
​
Perks
​
Hex: Life of Greed
When active, all items that survivors are currently holding, lose their progress 20/40/60% faster. The effect persists for 7/9/12 seconds after the totem is cleansed.
“TAKE THE LOOT! DON’T EVEN LEAVE A SINGLE COIN BEHIND!” -Barros Richards
​
Scourge Hook: Pirate’s Cove
At the start of the trial, four random hooks are changed into Scourge Hooks. When a survivor is placed on one of these hooks, all survivors currently opening a chest or working on a generator have their auras revealed for 8/13/18 seconds and are afflicted with exposed for the same duration.
“You don't get away that easily, landlubbers!” -Barros Richards
​
A Pirate’s Life For Me
Whenever a survivor opens a chest, they are given a common to uncommon level item with no addons. These items are significantly weaker than their normal counterparts. Should a survivor use these items, they will be afflicted with exposed for 17/18/19 seconds. If the survivor either outruns the duration or is downed, this perk deactivates for 10/9/8 seconds.
“You’re a bunch of no good pirates, yet I care for ye all. Welcome to the crew!” -Barros Richards
​
​
New Survivor: Joseph Markins
​
​
Perks
​
Oceanographer
When a survivor is injured by the killer, gain a token, up to a maximum of six/eight/ten. The more tokens earned, the more generator and totem auras are revealed to you. You lose your tokens when downed by the killer by any means.
“It’s all connected!” -Joseph Markins
Awe and Despair
Should The Entity appear by any means, you can see the killer's aura for 4/6/8 seconds. Awe and Despair has a cooldown of 10/9/8 seconds.
“That thing took down my mother’s boat, along with her and her crew. I have to know more about it.” -Joseph Markins
Adaptivity
When the killer hooks you for the first time, this perk activates. For each time you or another survivor are injured after that, you’ll have a 5% higher chance of getting off the hook, increased rarity of items in chests, and faster cleansing speeds.
“It’s all a matter of coping.” -Joseph Markins

I ordered 2 of these SSRs from Amazon and have free returns, probably 30 days.
These won't be used for high speed, but will be used to switch some heavy things on/off about once per hour to several times per hour.
Things like 220V 5HP compressor, 220V A/C unit and some standard 120VAC 10~12 amp devices and motors in the 10~13 amp range.
I watched a few videos on YT about fakes and wanted to test these.
Looks like the fakes are all about lower amp inside vs what is on the label. Is there a good way to test what the true amp rating is?
Maybe force a current thru it and check the temp?

I've got a relatively simple set up. I just upgraded my router to a netgear nighthawk mesh system (M70) that is wifi 6e enabled. I got that set up with no issues and performing great at all access points in my house. I didnt realize that the main router only comes with 2 eth ports. 1 for the modem and 1 other for what ever else.
​
I have a few devices at my router site that id like to have plugged in. I've got a linux POP OS couch gaming rig that i use for casual web browsing and older games that I like to play. I've also got an xbox one S that i use occasionally to play with my brothers who have yet to ascend (JK all gaming rules), and a samsung smart TV.
​
To remedy this problem, i bought a netgear GS108 unmanaged network switch with gigabit capability. Initially it worked great. TV was lightening fast, and so were my computer and xbox. However, after 2 days, all the wired devices EXCEPT the samsung TV randomly stopped communicating with my default gateway. ping would be 1000 plus on speed tests or not register at all. Only way to get it to work was to kill the wired connection and restart. Then itd work for another 20 or 30 seconds then off again.
​
I tried rebooting my router, the switch, the modem, all devices attached. I reset all DHCP settings, i checked to see if all firmwares are up to date... you name it. I then did a test by elimination. I unplugged everything but my POP OS machine and it works flawlessly. No disconnecting, no ping issues. I plug my TV back in and my ping goes from 10 to 300+. I still get full speeds on a speed test and then everything disconnects again. I unplug the TV ethernet, and back to normal.
​
​
So for some reason, my samsung TV connected to the switch is totally screwing with everything. I then connect it to the wifi again and now all my wireless speeds are having the same problem. Does anyone have an idea what the hell is causing my TV to absolutely wreck my internet speeds. For clarification, I've had this TV for 3 or 4 years now, mainly connected by wifi until we recently moved. I never really bothered to check my internet speeds or anything until recently. Theres a real chance that its been nerfing my download speeds and connection stability for a long time and I was convinced it was my old router.
​
​
Im at a loss right now as we spent a good chunk of change on this TV and its ruining our network stability as far as i can tell.

Hey everyone on here complaining, I am saying this coming from being in your position not too long ago. I remember the early days of small item orders with less then 2 MI drop offs worth $17-18. My wife and I went exploring one week after scouting out tbe demographics of the zone nearest to where she lived. I was aiming for an area heavily populated with upscale customers and preferably difficult for others to reach or discouraging in some way, or unthought of in some way. I found my answer playing around with the app one night as I was shopping for myself at the publix closest to my wife's house as I flipped the app on just to see. I had never tried this publix beforeb because my wife's neighborhood and surrounding area were not the best in town. I was amazed when I saw 5-6 orders with less then 10 (usually < 5) with drop off distsncences all so close to the exact same distance it couldnt be coincidencental. Upon further investigation of each drop off location, I happened across an island like strip right off a major highway near an international airport. On this island there were so many wealthy neighborhoods and upscale apartments all piled ontop of one another and absolutely no grocery stores or restaurants within reach without jumping onto that mess of a highway. The publix nearest to this area I knew very well and I'm sure many of you in the Tampa area know well also. The publix on Kennedy was unique in demographics as was in design. It was one of the smallest yet fastest publix I ever shopped at, however with great strengths come great weakness, this stores being constant shortages of inventory as the day went on. This proved to be a big enough issue in the fulfillment of orders and maximazion of potential profits that Instacart needed to take action. Their solution was simple, redirect to a larger, even higher demand store that was well adept at handling large surges of demand, coinciding with the surging demand of the previously mentioned islands inhabitants. (Late night snacks, wines, fruits, etc). On a map and on paper you wouldn't even think this publix would even be considered, but because of both locations proximity to the major highway, as well as the lack of traffic at that time of night and minimal lights maybe 2 or 3 between the two with a speed limit of 70 mph (if you go 70 in florida you literally will be run over so doing 80-90 mph is nothing to police or the grandma in the car behind you flipping you off because you are only going 82 miles per hour and "you" are the reason she is late to watch the same episode of jeopardy she watches every night. Oh and by the way there are Lanes on either side of me open...) the trip duration was less then 10 minutes and there back was less then 15 total. Seeing the potential my wife and I decided to take advantage of the situation and used our one car two person steategy to shuttle as many of these effortless and lucrative orders as we possibly could (5-10 items usued to take me maybe 5-10 minutes often less then 5 minutes to have shopped, checked out, baggeded and loaded worth $15-20 per batch. Let's do some math, it takes 5 - 10 min to shop and another 10 -15 to get there and back. At worst you are looking at $15.00 for 25 minutes or around 35 an hour and at best around $80.00 an hour (and these are hours of breezy work with high chances of 5 stars as well tip increases and cash tips.) Point being is start thinking outside of the box everyone. Go where others aren't, see what others haven't, learn your area and use every resource / strength you have to find a solution and reach your goals. If your goal is you want better or more batch opportunities then ask yourself what am I willing to do in order to reach thus goal. If your answer isn't anything then you may not want this to be your job as badly as you will need to In order to get to the levels you desire to attain. Know that Instacart needs the majority of its active shoppers during surge demand time periods. Know also that there simply are not enough orders during the non peak hours quite yet (although I have noticed a steady increase) to sustain all of the desires of the active shoppers during non peak hours. What's the solution? Test everyone, see who is who and what is what, see who takes and completes the not so great orders with integrity, and start to merit out batches to those who have proven themselves)

Hi, these scripts are used for my RTS game, any script could have an error that could lead to the null reference exception, but it says that the null is coming from the MoveTo Function in the Unit RTS code

Can anyone please help me? Thank you, I know its alot but I have no idea what to do

Niche question here, but hoping some Slayer people can give some insight.
Got the Slayer Single group today. Got everything hooked up well.
Warmed up, ready to set the needle valve. While doing the 30s weights, my dispensing is good for like 10 seconds, then starts burping air (inconsistent flow, kinda spits, then normal for the middle to finish). I've tried to do this several times to bleed off any air in the system. Still happens.
My 2023 version does not have the "bleed group" option in the digital menu. It just doesn't show up.
Things I've tried: Open/close the prebrew valve a bunch to try and kick out air Same with the main brew Open the needle valve a lot while in prebrew (speeding up the flow, no burping) back to burping when closing back down
Setup: 5gal distilled water with Third Wave Water to remineralize to proper TDS Machine pump is drawing water from this from the water jug.
I'm pretty certain I'm not getting air from cavitation, the water is not aerated like from a new filter setup. The machine is up to temp when I'm trying to purge, so air from expansion is not likely.
Any tips would be appreciated, slayer is notoriously difficult to get tech support for.

Managed to snag this off a stream that shall not be named 😉
