  • In wow, I was a death knight gnome in a raid (dungeon finder so it was easy mode). I think it was one of the early warlords of dreanor raids. Anyways 95% of group wiped, but me and the other tank (a paladin) plus a healer (revived with gnomish army knife - which has a huge chance of failure) managed to survive for what felt like 5 minutes. Really upset the dead folks who just wanted us to wipe and start again.

    Unfortuanlty we didn’t have enough DPS and hit the beserk timer and that was the end of that.

    I also loved using the multi-target death grip skill, normally it sucks every mob to your taget, great for CC.

    I read you can set your self as target with a macro, so I’d run into the middle of a room and yank everything to me in one go. Super handy when mobs came in from behind and targeted the healer - I just sucked them all in into the stabbing party.













  • You should probably get a louder smoke decetor if you can barely hear it upstairs.

    I’m going to go with the DIY approach;

    For the water sensor, I’d look into the possibility of linking the basement alarm to a speaker upstairs. I’ve no idea what kind of alarm you’re looking at or what the electronics are like. Theoreticaly, you can jump off the audio signal just before it reaches the speaker. Send the audio signal through an amp (located close* to the alarm, preferably where it won’t get wet) and connect it to a speaker upstairs.

    I would never try to mess with a smoke detector I rely on, but a water sensor…buy two and have fun.

    *the amp is to overcome voltage drop in the new cable, I doubt that the sensor electronics will be capable of driving a seperate speaker with at least 30 ft of cable between it.


  • I like Typefinity. (I have only used it on iPad, don’t own an iPhone)

    A no nonsense ios keyboard with a number row!

    Privacy wise, they claim to not collect anything. It’ not FOSS and also not free. One time $5. 100% worth it.

    There’s not too much visual customization, but a few themes that include dark, light and few colorful themes. For keyboard settings, there’s everything you’d expect from a keyboard - not too much, but enough to disable things you don’t want like clicks and adjust autocorrect.

    For the part you asked about; Playing around with swipe, it doesn’t work with curse words.

    Honestly, thats probably a good thing. Its better for you and these keybaords’ PR to lean on the side of caution (It could also be requirement from Apple - idk) You wouldn’t want it to mistake “the duck sits by on the birch log” for “the fuck shits on the bitch log”.

    Manually typing out bad words has no issues with autocorrection set to max. I normally leave it on “suggestions only” and just use the autofill suggestions as I type big words. Overall the swipe works, I don’t normally use it, but I was able to “swipe” a few simple sentences. I can’t give you a definitivite answer to “is it good”, I type everything like a caveman.




  • Parents: you need to read lots of book in your free time to get smart and go to collage.

    ~~~ Many years later ~~~

    Me: I would like to attend university next year. I will pursue an education in literature to achieve my goal of becoming a published author.

    Parents: you will not! There is no success as an author, I will not support you going to to school for such a waste.
