[Question] Combat Efficient Psykers?

In the Inheritance Cycle universe, advanced librarians are inducted into methods of crazy efficient murder. Spells for pinching off a specific artery, severing certain nerves, using less psychic energy than wiggling their finger, and allowing them to slaughter entire armies not under the aegis of an enemy psyker....

simplecyphers,

Nah. Thats too subtle for 40k.

It also threw me off calling the magic users in inheritance “librarians” and “psykers”.

simplecyphers,

I tried to watch it and kinda gave up. I tried to accept that it would be at most a reference to the book, but i still, just, couldnt.

simplecyphers,

Ironically, i watched the [REDACTED] before i read the books, so i enjoyed it. Then i read the books and felt really dumb for enjoying the [REDACTED] as much as i did.

simplecyphers,

Crappy movie? Yes.

Come from? No.

simplecyphers,

This sounds exactly like an anti-vax reply. Just replace a few key words and it is talking about alternative medicine. It also exemplifies the unbeatable arguments of the anti-vaxers: “explain yourself”

“No”

simplecyphers,

They probably aren’t. But they are qualified to comment on a theoretical post about the subject.

OP is asking what each person would contribute, not that each person must contribute something that they are qualified to. Which, for the most of us, is nothing. So get off your “intellectual” high horse and contribute to the conversation or change your non-contributions to silence instead of pedantic bullcrap.

Inconsistent request refusals? Any tips?

Since custom instructions have rolled out in the UK, I’ve been trying to see if I can use it to bypass any restrictions. I would use ChatGPT quite frequently as a role-playing assistant for open ended (violent) video games. Games like Kenshi. It would constantly refuse requests for things like, coming up with a character...

simplecyphers,

There are are obviously 6041776 centimeters in one good American inch. The “cent” comes from “sent” from how we sent the brits packing, twice.

simplecyphers,

Best for who? Depending on your answer, you are unequivocally right.

simplecyphers,

B, because position and speed are relative,

it would slow the train down equal to the momentum gained by the people.

simplecyphers,

There are only 33 people in the line though.

Either you get to 33 and there are no more and the track just ends or it’s “nuke the planet” or dont for everyone else above 33.

simplecyphers,

Bro, you went so far that you actually became racist yourself. You literally said: “Do help themselves” == “white” “Don’t help themselves” == “not white”

You are pushing the american stereotype for “lazy immigrants”

Thats kinda cringe tbh.

simplecyphers,

Nah. Thats not racist. Stating that countries primarily populated by non-whites are somehow too weak or lazy to fight for themselves, however, is definitely pretty racist.

simplecyphers,

In my games the DM calls for a check. The player describes their intentions and then the DM calls for a check when appropriate. So if someone gives really good reasoning for an NPC to act a certain way, there might not be a persuasion roll, if the character says something dumb then the roll DC might increase. The point is, no one is allowed to say “i roll persuasion to get them to do X”

simplecyphers,

Yeah. I like giving advantage/disadvantage because it tells the player: your roleplay positively/negatively impacted the outcome. Luckily i am blessed with good players that will play their characters even if it means a less than ideal outcome.

simplecyphers,

TIL my friendships with my bros are about 5x healthier than average.

I read this thought it sounded super melodramatic and exaggerated. I guess it’s just more rare to have deep friendships with the boys. Looking back it got me thinking that I might be the weird one with friends that have deep conversations and know/worry about the others mental health.

So i guess, to any guys that read this and felt like it could have been written about them: go out on a limb and talk to your friends. Chances are they want/need a more meaningful friendship too. They are also probably similarly apprehensive about opening up.

simplecyphers,

No no no. We FIXED them. Imagine being br*tish. Putting random “u”s in words. ColOur hOnoUr mOuLd. Imagine having a whole letter that only the 1%ers can even pronounce (its “t” pronounced like “s” but with a burst of air instead of a stream of air, and more pressure from the tongue onto the hard palate). We turned linguistic drift into linguistic power-slide.

Any time i hear a br*tish “person” talking, regardless of location or occasion, i rev my Ford f-450 supermax lifted truck (from which i removed the muffler) as hard as i can. This produces three strictly beneficial effects:

1 i can no longer hear the br*t “talking” 2 all of the smoke blocks sight of who is talking 3 the beautiful aroma that comes from the powerful black smoke reminds me of the most important things in life freedom, privatized healthcare, and tea in the ocean.

simplecyphers,

Oh yeah? Well i got my GED while in the womb. They had to surgically insert testing materials. I didn’t really need to study because i was “gifted” (an insufficient term for how mind-bogglingly great my intelligence truly is) By the time I could physically build up the strength to walk (~2 months old) i had already gotten 3 PhDs in theoretical physics, psychology, and organic chemistry. But nooo, i am just “average”. Yeah right, i am multiple orders of magnitude above even the most intelligent “average” person.

My first birthday is in 44 days and i have already consumed and understood all information on this planet and am looking to the stars for further stimulus. The only illusion here is your assumption that you can understand a fraction of my intelligence.

simplecyphers,

Isn’t that poisonous in large quantities?

simplecyphers,

I am obviously not in the know, but what exactly am i looking at?

simplecyphers,

Kinda? All energy will dissipate until everything is the same temperature. Idk what that temperature will be but it might be pretty cold. But heat won’t just, like, go away. It will homogenize.

simplecyphers,

Heat - A form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules

That would still exist. However a “concept” being defined as an idea, would not exist as there would be no living thing to think it up.

So heat would exist, the “concept of heat” wouldn’t. So your first statement is technically correct. Your second statement is wrong by the primary definition of heat.

simplecyphers,

Cool. I don’t know if that aligns the the current theory and frankly, don’t care enough to research it.

But that doesn’t disprove my statement. Unless all matter juices itself into energy, heat will exist. heat is a property of matter unless said matter is at -273 C (which seems impossible that that is the temperature for the universe to settle on)

But… I’m not a theoretical physicist and you probably aren’t one either. So we are both out of our depth.
