Worst quest for me was rescuing Marshall Winsor from Blacrock Depths. First he is walking agroing all kinds of mobs, then when he sees the entrance he starts running and if you don’t keep up, (let’s say you are fighting some mobs he agroed) you fail the mission even if you can see him standing by the entrance.
First you need to find BRD group, then a group willing to do the quest. And then do the quest. Tried so many times… Still hurts talking about it.
Barrens compared to Goldshire was so garbage in vanilla at launch. Alliance aesthetics was so much more developed and implemented
Then I am squarly a gen x myself. So Masters of the Universe, GI Joe/Action Force and by a stretch TMNT
According to sources, and by that I meam wikipedia, gen x is up to 1980. Me being born four months before that line is very young gen x or very old millennial. Considering how I started uni when I was 25 most of my contemporaries are millennials, so I kind if feel like that my self
I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.
The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.
And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial
“WHAT?”
This one got me laughing. One more obscure fact is that it has Norways only active volcano

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•On what specific episode does your favorite "I swear it eventually gets really good" television show actually start turning around?
4·5 days agoFirst season on Parks and Rec is not good. Redid the concept and one character season 2 and was awesome season 3 onwards
I am thinking about taking up macramé in my forties and these guys are watching.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•what’s your best “nitric acid acts upon trousers” moment?English
7·14 days agoNot me but years ago the inorganic lab at my uni was tasked with measuring heavy metals in whale fat and did what they normally did back then to disolve test materials. Mix nitric acid and hydrocloric acid in some heavy duty pure quartz reagent tubes, put in sample and microwave.
Well. Turns out mixing triglyceride (fat) with nitric acid and HCl as a catalyst makes nitroglycerine. And what does that do in a confined space and microwaved
It turns expensive heavy duty quartz tubes into expensive quartz dust and a fucked microwave.

8·15 days agoHF is a weak acid but extremely complex binding. If you spill it on skin, it will react with any Ca in your body and FUCK.YOU.UP! Always have plenty of water with Ca to rinse with and Ca containing “lotion” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoric_acid_burn?wprov=sfla1
It is also fun as you can get really interesting results. I wanted to make a coffee cup with no bottom and put some in a cup and placed the cup in Ca-water. What happened was it removed the glazing and made a cup with slight leak as liquid permiates the clay.

News@lemmy.world•US hotel owners expected a World Cup boom - so far it hasn't happened
18·19 days agoYeah, lets hear you out when the residental house next door has new people in every week treating it as a hotel. Think of the average hotel guest you have experienced? Yeah that one EVERY week.
Luckily my municipalityv/(Norway) will strike down hard on zoning violations if you run a commercial operation in a residential area.
The initial idea was brilliant. Occasionally renting out a room in you house/flat. Or renting out a few weeks when you are yourself on vacation. But now that it’s businesses buying up housing and running them as hotels

News@lemmy.world•US hotel owners expected a World Cup boom - so far it hasn't happened
564·19 days agoBy contrast, Airbnb has said the World Cup is to be “the biggest hosting event” in its history."
When you have an unregulated marketplace like AirBnB the legitimate businesses will loose. AirBnB rentals destroys neighborhoods and kills hotels
Guessing this is a Belgium (Flemish) vs. Netherland joke.
Like Norway jokes about Swedes, and every other random neighboring countries you care to mention

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•oh no guys theyre gonna report us to the FBI
24·19 days agoRemeber the head of the network at my university told me that he once was contacted by someone from a US LEA about how someone with an IP from the student housing had said something threatening about then US president George Bush Jr. and wanted information.
He told them that US law doesn’t apply in Norway, and that they had to go through proper channels by the Norwegian police and court system to get that information.

Crazy Fucking Videos@lemmy.world•A schoolbus, stopping in front of a residential home, is rear ended by a full size truckEnglish
5·21 days agoAs he (lets face it, this is most defenatly a he) is not even trying to break, and the school bus is as visible as an object can be I assume he was not looking at the road. Telephone would be my guess as well
I usually love ASUS as they have dared to try unconventional ideas, like the eeePC. I also like how they make everything from MoBos to TVs and phones. But it felt like they wanted to brick the Transformer for some reason.
Personally I have a couple of Samsung tablets, they serve a purpose when I want have a “TV” on in the background in a random place in the house I also read some comics that comes as pdfs on it
A pager called MiniLink when I was 16 right before mobiles became common
The ASUS transformer with keyboard. As they did an update that made it super slow and clunky right before end of lifeing it.



I agree that the size of Barrens meant that the chat was something else. I meant that while Alliance got three zones that felt unique and populated, horde had one giant open plain.
Might be because I started as Alliance and switched to Horde quite early
