  • 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.





  • 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 (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.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






  • Not 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.



  • Yeah, 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




  • Remeber 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.



  • 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
