  • The spinning barrel at the end can be solved by jumping on it and holding Up or Down to match the direction of the barrel. It will make the bounce distance enormous enough to hop off on the down swing.

    For example, you jump on the barrel and it naturally goes down, so you hold down. It will go down 20 pixels. As it starts to go back up, you hold up (no need to jump or anything) and it will go up 40 pixels. On the way down you hold down and it will go down 80 pixels. Repeat until the bounce goes so far down you hop off below with ease.

    The numbers are made up, but the process is correct.



  • It’s actually more insidious. Blizzard facilitates gold buying by being a middle man. 30 days of wow subscription is $15. Blizzard sells a $20 wow token. Buyers of the token automatically sell it in game to players for gold. Players who sell their In game gold can redeem the token for game time or $15 Blizzard bucks, which can buy any virtual item in the Blizzard store. Games, expansions, and mounts such as this.

    If you don’t want to spend $90 in real life, you can sell your gold for 6 tokens for $90 Blizzard bucks and get the mount.

    The token has been hovering around $170k all month and now it spiked to almost $360k (token price tracker). So now cash buyers can get way more gold for their bucks, and the 6 tokens exchanged for gold (to buy the mount) will net Blizzard $120.

    Housing needs to be less commodimized, but tons of normal families have their entire network tied up in a home.

    Any act that raises home prices hurts though without and any act that lowers home prices hurts those with. How can we untangle homes being family’s largest asset without screwing older people.

    Without homes and apartments being a commodity, how do we determine who gets to live where fairly? Isn’t there like 10x as many vacancies than homeless people? So it’s not a supply issue, it’s a location issue. The open market is great for sorting that out, but the open market has abused housing and is squeezing too hard.

    I don’t like that home prices are as high as they are, and we need to change our mindset about how home pricing should work. It needs both government oversight and market forces.









  • If you’re talking about what Google or Microsoft offer as a login tool, it’s basically a file hidden on your physical PC so when you attempt to login to a service that wants it, the service gets a password from you and the passkey from your actual device to authenticate you.

    For example, I have passkey enabled on my windows PC that my Google account has a passkey in. Anytime I access the built in password manager in chrome, Windows now gives me a pop up for a PIN number, and then windows will authenticate on my behalf with the hidden passkey.

    If I need to access my password manager from my phone or another computer, I have to use my Google password instead since my passkey isn’t on those physical devices.

    I believe Microsoft stores your passkey files on your motherboards TPM module, but I could be wrong.



  • You can only see the blue headlift indicator when placing a pump after another pump. There isn’t a baseline headlift indicator unfortunately.

    Buildings supposedly have a 12m headlift as opposed to their advertised 10m headlift so have a little forgiveness.

    Best indicator is to place and power your pump. If it’s not actively pumping, then it’s too high.

    Also, pump mk ll is 50m, mk l is 20m :)
