Algae Science Hell

Where I drop my algae based experiments and talk to others

[bogleech]

Look at one of our MICROCRABS

[bogleech]

apparently these are hard to find online but easy to keep?? Our fish place got a bunch of them in and was selling them for under $5 each. They don’t grow a lot bigger than this, they never ever need to leave the water and they mostly filter feed on microorganisms while grazing some algae! This jar of aquatic liverworts, algae and seed shrimp should sustain this one just fine though I put another couple of them in a larger planted tank. They can be kept with amano shrimp and with marimo too

IVE BEEN LAUGHING AT THIS FOR TOO LONG WHY DID I DO THIS HDHHDBDBBSKBDJAJJA

[systlin]

Okay. Gardening 101; or “Auntie Sys I have a yard that’s currently a yard and don’t know SHIT or FUCK about how to make it not be a boring-ass yard.”

Step 1; go to your local landfill and get all of the newspaper you can. Cardboard will also work. If your neighborhood puts them out for recycling, go around and grab them all like a little newspaper goblin.

Step 2; acquire mulch. If you WANT, you can go pay for it at a garden store, but we’re all cheap lazy bitches here so screw that. Most landfills will collect yard waste and branches and chip them into woodchips, which you can get for PENNIES or FREE. Go load up on that good shit.

I like straw too, which I can get for barter because I am related to half the people around here and a solid 65% of my extended family are farmers. I give Uncle Daryl three quarts of elderberry jelly or a couple pounds of morels in spring and he loads me up with straw bales.

Step 3; figure what parts of grass you want to be not-grass, and cover that shit in newspaper, good and thick. 5-10 layers. It helps to wet the newspaper to keep it from blowing away as you work.

Now, cover that newspaper with a good thick layer of mulch.

Congrats, you’re removing the grass. It’ll starve to death under the mulch and newspaper and rot into compost. You now have garden beds and have not dug one single bit of sod.

If you can’t wait for six months to plant, pull the mulch aside, cut a hole in the newspaper, and dig out a plug of sod the size of the planting hole. Throw some compost in there and plant. Tuck mulch back around plant. Water well.

There ya go. Garden beds. In a year, when you pull back the mulch the newspaper will be almost rotted away, and the soil underneath soft and loamy.

[systlin]

I like to edge garden beds like this with rocks, which I can ALSO get for free because I live in the part of Iowa dotted with limestone quarries. Just, pick that shit up along the road and

I’m collecting flat ones for a FREE crazy paving path too.

[aquatixwitch]

I love you for this.

[systlin]

No prob.

Protip; the best way to do a large area without killing your knees or back is to load up a bucket of water with newspaper, sit down on the grass, and sorta scoot your ass along as you drag the bucket with you, newspapering as you go.

Then dump buckets of mulch on that and spread it out with your feet. Just sorta kick it where you want it to be.

Source; my 61 year old mom with bad knees.

[gallusrostromegalus]

AAAAAAAYY my mom did the much-to-get-rid-of-lawn thing over the course of a winter- she’d read the paper in the morning then go spread it out on the lawn and toss muclh on it.  By spring it was ready to cut holes ans dump irism day lillies and peonies into.

and all this BEFORE she got her hip replaced.

10/10, recycling, enviornmental stewardship, loos baller AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO MOW.

Build a $300 underground greenhouse for year-round gardening

Growers in colder climates often utilize various approaches to extend the growing season or to give their crops a boost, whether it’s coldframes, hoop houses or greenhouses.

Greenhouses are usually glazed structures, but are typically expensive to construct and heat throughout the winter. A much more affordable and effective alternative to glass greenhouses is the walipini (an Aymara Indian word for a “place of warmth”), also known as an underground or pit greenhouse. First developed over 20 years ago for the cold mountainous regions of South America, this method allows growers to maintain a productive garden year-round, even in the coldest of climates.[…]

The journey to becoming a hero is never an easy one… But it’s never too late to change.

Another soundtrack to accompany a D&D scene! Two characters spoke frankly in the dark of what it means to be a hero, and how rise above your past to become one.

In this piece, things start as simply, as the scene did. After an early moment of trepidation, Estrella finds the confidence to share her difficult past. The melody of her theme speaks at 0:25 as she shares her story: That she was once enslaved, how she has killed, and how she wants to be a hero. 0:45; She’s questioned by the old, grizzled hero, asked what she’ll say if someone comes looking for retribution, or seeking to recapture her… Gremm is blunt and pulls no punches in the conversation. He believes she’s running only on anger, and asks what will be left when that’s gone. When those old grudges are settled, will Estrella even WANT to be a hero anymore? 

1:03, she flares up in response. She’ll tear down the ones who enslaved her, and when that’s done, she’ll still be a hero. Her determination is backed, distantly, by the quiet but supportive theme of a friend. Finally, 1:41; her rage combines with her theme. Her anger will be part of her legacy, a thing she will always accept rather than shrug away. She centers herself as she and the old hero find mutual, grudging respect for one another.

The character Estrella belongs to @1980sspaceman. Guitars performed by Richard Belmond.

Weird Concept?

So, if a person were to fall off a cliff and cast Feather Fall on themselves, they would fall at a rate of 60ft per round, or 10ft per second, and take no damage.

That means, after doing some calculations, that it D&D mechanics, the rate of a free fall (in order to take 1d6 damage for every 10 feet fallen) is 25fps.

So if through some magical means, you could make a character with base walking speed of 150ft…

Then you could just,,,, charge at people and deal the amount you moved divided by 10 d6s.

Up to 15d6 damage.

Or, if you could get to 200ft in one round, you could deal the maximum falling damage of 20d6.

You just have to be able to survive that much.

[probablywriterrpgideas]

Question: does haste stack? Eg give your rogue (bc bonus action dash) boots of haste and cast haste on them and give them a haste potion to drink all at once.

Like they’d definitely wind up with multiple levels of exhaustion afterwards but it’d be so worth it

[probablygoodrpgideas]

You can’t be affected by the same spell twice, so haste doesn’t stack

[probablywriterrpgideas]

Ah bugger.

Okay so, let’s use Vax'ildan as a base. By the end of the campaign, armed with his boots of haste and the deathwalkers ward, he was able to reach a top speed of (I think) 120fpt (feet per turn).

As far as the phb goes, there doesn’t seem to be any feats that boost base speed, and the fastest base race is the wood elf at 35fpt. However I have a suspicion that tabaxi in particular would be a much faster race, and easier to get to that crazy speed.

[probablyplayerrpgideas]

Tabaxi Monk with Longstrider

With 5 levels of Barb, Fighter (for action surge), and then the rest in Monk, you can break 2000-3000 feet per round (300-400 MPH) or up to 720 squares of movement

I love the ridiculous things you can do with this game

[probablywriterrpgideas]

Yoo break that down for me so I know exactly how to use and abuse that shit

[probablyplayerrpgideas]

I went to break it down, and In re-reading RAW I think the limit is actually even higher

Tabaxi: 30 base speed, can double (base speed) w/ Feline Grace (Important thing is this is an ability that does not require an action and lasts until the end of your turn)

lvl 5 Barb: +10 base movement whil;e unarmored (40 now)

Totem Barbarian- Elk: +15 unarmored movement while raging (55)

lvl 10-13 Monk: +20 base movement (75)

lvl 2 fighter: Action Surge

Longstrider: +10 movement (85)

Mobile feat: +10 speed (95)

Transmutation Stone (Have to have a Wizard give this to you): +10 (105)

Then you have:

Haste - dash action (210)

Main action - dash action (420 yeet)

Step of the wind - Dash as a bonus action (840)

Boots of speed - doubles (1,680)

Action Surge - dash (3360)

Feline Grace - double for the final (6720)

6720 / 5 = 1,344 squares or 763 miles per hour

This is a multi turn setup, so if you wanted to use it you would use Boots of Speed round 1, then Rage round 2, then on the ‘burst’ round you would Feline Grace, Step of the Wind, and Action Surge

Also note this does not use any CR content, and I have not looked into any Charms / Boons from the DMG, which may further increase the max.

[probablyplayerrpgideas]

As for the OP- worth noting that the 20d6 limit of falling speed may not apply. This is a collision, not falling, and you could also consider the 20d6 limit being due to the Terminal Velocity of a normal D&D world. Considering how much faster we can go, and assuming the same 1d6 per 10ft., we are looking at 672d6 bludgeoning damage from a collision at this speed, enough to kill a Tarrasque more than 3 times over

[probablyplayerrpgideas]

Thank you to @mudfishscientist for pointing out that I had forgotten to double the speed of Haste i addition to the extra dash action.

The setup has not changed, but this means the actual limit is not 6720 feet per round (just below the speed of sound), but instead 13,440 feet, 2,688 squares, or 1,526 MPH- just below mach 2

[peachypeabrain]

Found out today that a level 18 tabaxi monk, under the effects of a haste spell, wearing boots of speed, and using feline agility, and then using both action and haste action to dash, combined with step of the wind bonus action dash, can technically move 1920 feet per round. That’s 218 miles per hour. I’m getting nauseous just thinking about it.

[cr-azzy]

So I was curious a little while ago, and as far as I can tell, the top attainable speed in D&D 5e is 5400 feet per round, or 613.6 mph.

[normal-horoscopes]

IF WE ASSUME THE MONK IS THE AVERAGE WEIGHT OF 137kg, AND THEY THROW A PUNCH AT THAT SPEED, THEY WOULD BE HITTING WITH AROUND 739,800N OF FORCE

IT WOULD BE ROUGHLY EQUIVALENT TO BEING HIT BY EVERY SINGLE SHELL OF A FULL BROADSIDE FROM A MODERN NIMITZ CLASS BATTLESHIP

THE PHYSICAL FORCE WOULD LIKELY NOT EVEN BE WHAT KILLED THE TARGET THE SHEER RAW ENERGY OF THE PUNCH WOULD FLASH COOK THE TARGET INTO ASH BEFORE SHATTERING THEM INTO VAPOR

[pwbi]

@cr-azzy​ The limit is actually even higher. The dash action is NOT movement on it’s own, it just increases your movement by what its currently at, meaning that dash actions stack on each other.

Without considering the boon of speed that means that the max speed is 13,440 feet, or 1,526 miles per hour- Just below mach 2.

With a boon of speed, the maximum possible speed becomes 17,280 feet per round, 10,368,000 feet per hour, just over 1,963 miles per hour.

This kind of speed isn’t just Mach 1, its not just Mach 2, its just shy of MACH FUCKING 6. 

Also worth mentioning: Assuming damage from a collision follows the same rules as falling in that 10 feet = 1d6 damage, this means if you ran at this speed into a Tarrasque you would be doing 1,728d6. 

That’s over 6,000 damage ON AVERAGE

For reference- A Tarrasque has 676 medium health

lets make a videogame how hard can it be

[slimetony]

nevermind you have to know shit about computers

[hthrthebear]

hey!! sorry to hijack this post, but there are a bunch of ways you can make videogames without knowing shit about computers!! 

for starters, there’s Twine, which is fucking great for making all kinds of interactive experiences (it’s what Crystal Warrior Ke$ha was made in so you KNOW it’s good) at all skill levels (i picked it up and made a game in two minutes a few nights ago)

if you want a bit more involved experience there’s Inform 7 which is a simple language for text-based adventure games that reads like slightly-weird English and also relatively easy to learn

you can do some pretty fucking cool stuff with Unity (my personal engine of choice) but you may need to dig a bit farther to get at the good stuff. there’s lots of really good presets though (i made an entire game just mixing and matching pre-existing templates and adding in my own art, won an award at a game jam for that one) and if you want help the community’s pretty dang friendly from what i’ve seen!

this is just a taste of what’s out there from what i’ve seen, but there’s so many cool resources out there. if anyone wants help getting started, i’m around to give you a leg up on making something in the coolest, most unexplored art medium around!

[auttoton]

@slimetony how does it feel to have your shitpost be turned into a helpful resource

[slimetony]

It feels like a betrayal of every tenant of humor I subscribe to. Helping people is an alien concept to me. It makes me upset.

[traceytonight]

[voradtras]

Blender is a COMPLETELY FREE, OPEN-SOURCE 3D modeling and animation workspace that can actually compete with similar high-end industry-standard software!

The newest version (2.80) is a major overhaul that allows a beginner-friendly experience, and alongside that, you also have free resources and tutorials both by the organization and independent artists. I highly recommend Blender Guru’s Donut Tutorial, which as of September 8, 2019, is currently uploading the revised version for 2.80.

You can download Blender right now at blender.org!
