Tips for Survey Sites Performance:

1. You must make sure your profile is accurate, consistent, and up to date.
2. Actively check for surveys, especially during peak times: 7 am, 12:30 pm, 3:30 pm, 6 pm, and 10:30 pm.
3. Be wary of games requesting credit card or payment information; avoid them.
4. Provide truthful demographic details and survey answers to avoid disqualification.
5. Promptly report survey-related issues with accompanying screenshots that you have completed the surveys.
6. Dedicate time to providing thoughtful survey responses to meet quality standards.
7. Join multiple survey sites to get more opportunities.
8. Preserve because disqualifications are normal.
9. Avoid VPNs or proxies to prevent permanent bans.
10. Visit forums for updates and tips from fellow members.
11. Explore various offers and options available on survey sites such as timewall, lootably, and bitlabs. I receive some of my earnings from timewall.
12. Utilize referral programs to earn additional rewards.
13. Report surveys you completed but ended up on an error page.

Good luck. Please ask if you have questions. Thanks.

The video
So, Dream Tower was a small platformer with 20 levels in it, that I originally found and played on Cool math games. Using emulation, I was able to replay it for the first time in a long time, and I decided to grind out a WR.
...
but im the only person playing.
So I wanted to ask if people wanted to join in? I'd love to see it, and I can answer any questions like why the game is cool, what glitches there are, what skips I found (Most of them just skip doorways which are very slow, or occasionally platforming sections)
Anyway, it's not the most polished but I'll probably get it down soon. I'm shooting for a sub 6 min but who knows

Hello guys,
My main role is P1. It's what I enjoy the most, and since last september I've gained over 1000 MMR playing this role. But I think my laning stage is consistently bad, although I understand basic concepts of laning. Creep equilibrium, Trading, Resource Management. Unless I get an extremely easy lane, I will often end up having less than 60 cs by the 10min mark. I will almost always have lower NW than what Dota+ shows me. Although I have this feeling of being a bad laner, I win more than I lose on this role, but I want to really improve as a player and watching pro players play carry I'm really impressed with how they play their lanes. I think if I can improve this aspect of my gameplay, I can truly step up and improve a lot as a whole.
Regarding creep equilibrium, I feel like I manage it pretty well. But sometimes, I will trade with the enemy and by right clicking him, I will aggro their creeps and mine will push more than theirs. Or I will have my support who will harrass the enemy by standing in the creeps and fuck up the equilibrium. How do you deal with that ? How do you deal aswell with support who only single pull the camp and therefore make the lane push as fuck ?
For the trading side of thing, I think this is where I really misplay. Last few games I've been noticing how I die a lot early by trades who dont go in my favour. If I don't die, I compensate by sending regen, or using what I have already in my inv obviously. Honestly I'm clueless if I do good or bad or very bad here.
I will link in addition to the questions link 3 games, if someone experienced can take the time to look at laning stage I will greatly appreciate it !
Match 1, playing PL support CM, enemy off Void sup BH : 7770602069
Match 2, playing WK, sup HW, overly easy lane, easy game : 7766442354
Match 3, playing Jugg, sup Io, enemy DK and SB, lost lane lost game : 7765877976
Thanks!

I will be having some free time and I've been thinking what to do with the AW1 COs if they were to get SCOP that stays within the theme of their AW1 skills. There's one particular CO who can't just get his AW2 super: Olaf. It's for a story reason. The OS COs remark that Drake's power shouldn't be allowed, meaning the game wants global damage powers introduced that late, but Olaf is the first enemy.
The question is, what does Olaf have left if he can't deal mass damage?

Pretty much the title. Couple of my friends are really into the game and I wanted to join in. Last few weeks I've made 2 haphazard CC decks to join in games. A Dash I/O and Tekklovesson with Singularity. Opened my first box today of Mistveil (plus a handful of Dusk Till Dawn packs to keep things interesting).
My overall pull amounted to: -The skeleton of a pretty alright adult Nuu deck (she was the only M hero I pulled) -Zen's legendary Twelve Petal Kāṣāya -A marvel (I think its called? Purple triangle at the bottom) of Bellona, Archangel of War
My question is: should I be holding onto my good pulls? And building a deck around those heroes? Or is it better to sell them and buy cards for the heroes I'm already building or getting the Crown of Providence or Tunic everyone hypes up? I'm a little worried about playing with Bellona specifically as I don't want to damage the card if it can decrease the value.
Thanks for your advice!! :)

This may upset some people. In fact I can count on it.
I only wrote this for 1% of you. For the rest, please disregard it.
A Different Game:
I'm not sure if I can explain this. I don't think that I totally understand it myself, but that's ok.
Long term fasting isn't about food, but you already knew that or you wouldn't be attempting a long fast.
This may not pertain to everyone that does a long fast. Maybe it won't pertain to any of them.
You may not know who I am, or of my situation. That's ok. I'm just some guy in a sub-reddit.
For me the battle is more important than the weightloss. Fasting can tear you down right to the core. It can lay you open and expose vulnerabilities that you didn't know you had.
That can be a good thing if you are ready for it. When you've faced something that stripes you down, you only have two ways to go. You either stay broken or you rebuild a new you.
Fasting isn't a team sport. The rebuilding process is a solo journey. You will face family and friends that mean well. You will face people on reddit that have watched a few videos of someone that thinks they know about fasting.
The fact is that after your first long fast, you have experience, they have hearsay.
Repeating what somebody else said about something that very few people have experienced is easy. There are way to many armchair quarterbacks.
For all intents and purposes they are standing on the sidewalk watching the parade go by.
We need to respect those people. They believe what they are saying. They don't mean to drag you down. They just don't understand that the game we are playing is nothing like the game they are playing.
Respecting them doesn't mean letting their opinions effect you. We leave their words to them. We step outside of their world.
We are outside of the box thinkers. We learn by doing, not by reading, watching, or listening.
In short, we cut our own path.
Long term fasting will cause you to question everything about your past, present, and future.
It will make you question yourself to the point that you lose the belief in your fight.
Don't be mistaken. This is war. You will fight battles every day of your fast.
TV commercials, concerned family members, concerned friends, people in the fasting reddit, all of these and more, are all battles. Each battle takes your energy to fight them.
We all have a limit as to how much unintentional abuse that we can take.
Remember, we are playing a different game. We aren't better than them, it's just a different game.
To succeed we close off there words. We smile and nod without telling them they are wrong. Their rules don't apply. Remember, ours is a different game. We need our energy for other challenges, tougher challenges.
Once we're in a long fast our mind will scream at us. It doesn't Remember why it stored the fat. How could it. We don't live in a world where using fat for energy is part of the equation.
We know the truth. Fat is fuel. Combine that fat with electrolytes and vitamins and your body has a built in smorgasbord.
You will face many days where you question whether it is worth it. Days when the scales aren't moving, and you are constantly thinking about your comfort food, can push you close to your limit. If you aren't confident and forward thinking it can break you.
We play a game that is much like chess. Our move is the result of a strategy that we decided on several moves ago. We don't make in the moment decisions. We know the obstacles but we don't care because we set this strategy in motion days before. Today is temporary. It is here and gone in the blink of an eye.
Tomorrow. That's how we win today's battle. Our mind is already in tomorrow. How can we giving in today if we are already in a tomorrow frame of mind.
Our battle is intense. As with chess, sometimes we have to sacrifice a pawn, maybe even a knight. We do this by skipping a family gathering or a superbowl party if they fall within our fasting plan.
I've missed Easter, Thanksgiving, my birthday, my mom's birthday, mother's day, and 4th of july cookouts.
This game requires sacrifice. The weightloss is great. I've lost 240 pounds, but that is irrelevant.
Our true opponent is our mind. Nothing else can matter. In truth, nothing else exists. We stand alone. Alone against family, friends, and armchair experts.
On one fast, I was on day 56. My mind was done. I didn't think I had anything left in the gas tank, but I've faced things in life that totally wiped me out. I knew there is always just a little more left if we reach deep.
I held on. My mind was screaming. I couldn't hear anything but, "give in, it's over"
I dug deep. I went to my room. I just wanted to go to bed. I climbed on my bed. I couldn't climb under the covers. That would take too much external energy. I knelt on my bed. I rocked back and forth for three hours. I was sobbing uncontrollably. My body was shaking from the depth of those sobbs.
I made it. The tears ended. The rocking ended. I collapsed on my bed and slept for hours.
I faced one of the hardest challenges in my 55 years on this planet.
That victory is mine. Nobody can take it from me. Believe it or not several people from this fasting community tried. They told me that I was lying. They said I got lucky because I didn't die. They said I would cause someone to take their last breath.
I didn't care what they said, and I don't care now. The victory is mine. Any time I struggle I look back on that morning. I remember the intensity. I fought so hard, and I won. What challenge can I face in the future that could compare. The answer is, nothing. Nothing I will face can hold a candle to that day.
I've faced some extreme challenges. My girlfriend passed from cancer while laying in the bed beside of me. My mom went to prison when I was little. Our friend was murdered. One of our friends came over after he had been shot. We were robbed at gunpoint. None of that compared.
Even Marine Corps boot camp paled in comparison to that day.
We face intense situations while fasting. This may sound bad but I hope you can experience that. I can't think of anything that could ever take me down. I look back on that day and it empowers me. With that memory I can tackle any opponent.
We play a different game. Don't forget that.
99% of people on here won't get it. Many will condemn and down vote this.
I'll say it again, we play a different game. They won't get it and thats ok.
After you face your demons. After you make it out the other side, there is nothing left to compare.
Our battle may be different but the final outcome is the same.
We win.
After that challenge,
we win because that's all we know.

Recently I've had this issue where my keyboard's LEDs turn off whenever I launch a game. keyboard is a Drop Alt I've heard that these keyboards draw a large amount of power etc and have been recommended to use a usb 3.0 port and high quality cable which I have also done. the peculiar thing is that the keyboard has two input usb ports (one for each side) and when I plug a usb c power bank into the other unused port, the LEDs come back to full brightness. through all of this, they keyboard works as per normal, sans LEDs.
my question is, is it possible for a GPU being heavily utilised to drain enough power from my mobo/ PSU ability to supply the mobo to have a reduced power output to its usb ports? I have never seen a problem like this all my life of pc building.
I've also confirmed that this is not a software issue as it persists in safe mode and more importantly, my keyboard has no LED management software. Also, this issue didn't exist a couple months ago.

Hi all,
I’m exploring the HX99G barebone for a first Mini PC for gaming. I have ‘t build a pc before nor used one, especially Windows in more than 20 years.
I’ve been reading this sub and checking some youtube videos, and see a lot of BIOS, drivers and setting talk that i have no idea about 😂 😬.
I’m planning to get the below to add to the machine: - G.Skill D5S64GB 5600 (i also saw someone say that the settings ned to change to cap it at 5400?! How? Where?) - Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 SSD, 2TB
I have a couple questions: does the barebone come with heatsink thingies for the above?
Where do i start to install windows and have a working machine? I haven’t found any easy to follow tutorial. I found this: https://www.minisforum.com/front/support/70/HX99G but i’m not sure what to do with all these and how to use them.
I would appreciate any help 😃

On this week (29M) I was diagnosed with characteristics/traits [is it okay to say characteristics or traits?] that are on the autistic spectrum.
It was a long journey with a lot of difficulties.
When I was a young Teenager I didn't understand why I was ignored.
As a teenager in high school and as a young adult I suspected I was different than the rest and I also suspected I was autistic. I had mentioned a few times that I had some autistic [I have the same doubt as above] traits.
I also went from wrong therapies to wrong therapies.
Finally, as an adult, I could contact a psychologist that wondered if I was autistic. I began to question myself more. She gave me the contact of an evaluator [is it correct to say "evaluator" to the professional that diagnoses if one has [the same doubt as above] characteristics on the autistic spectrum] and two years since that, I finally got my diagnosis.
My parents never questioned that I could have [same doubt] traits on the spectrum. I don't know why they never sent me to a specialist. I suspect that my father didn't want me to be diagnosed because he has a conflict with his brother that he didn't solve yet, and that I had to carry his conflict.
I still disown [I don't know if the correct word is disown] my mother for allowing my father to scream to me, slap me and being narcissistic to all our family.
Still, I finally know myself and know who I am.
And that gives me internal peace.

Just copy this, paste this into a sandbox, then make a thread in the Trope Repair Shop linking to it. The thread shall be titled "Needs Help: Inexplicable Language Fluency".
A wick check for InexplicableLanguageFluency.
'''Why?''': InexplicableLanguageFluency seems to lump in examples of characters demonstrating fluency in a language they've never learned with examples of characters merely understanding a language they never learned. For one, it doesn't make sense for the latter examples to be there since the title has the word "fluency" in it. Secondly, many of the latter examples can be moved to BilingualDialogue or AmplifiedAnimalAptitude.
'''Wicks checked''': 50/72
'''Wick totals''':
* 21/50 wicks, or 11.5%, were clear examples of a character demonstrating fluency in a language they never learned. * 24/50 wicks, or 12% were examples of a character understanding a language without demonstrating fluency. * 4/50 wicks, or 2%, were written in a way that made it unclear whether they were being used correctly. * 1/50 wicks, or 1.5%, was an aversion.
[[folder:Characters demonstrating fluency in a language they never learned (21/50)]] * Characters.AtlantisTheLostEmpire: The Atlanteans are able to fluently communicate with the explorers from the surface in English and French. This is handwaved as their own language being a precursor to all other languages. * Characters.YaBoyKongming: ** Kongming finds himself immediately fluent in Japanese despite having never learned the language, and the Japan of his era was still a dwarf country that mostly only sent envoys to Shu's rival kingdom of Wei. Eiko points out the absurdity of how an ancient Chinese figure can suddenly speak Japanese, and Kongming himself is at a loss of how he can do this. * Characters.YellowjacketsCrashSurvivors: [[spoiler:She, and by extension others in the Antler Queen cult she forms, randomly speak French on occasion, which Lottie at least is ''not'' fluent in, indicating mental instability.]] '''If this is supposed to be an inversion, it's correct, but it should be rewritten to mention that it's an inversion.''' * ComicBook.Asterix: Gauls can speak to most foreign peoples without any difficulty. Either everyone can speak Gaulish, or the Gauls can speak other languages, but either way is downright impossible. * ComicBook.UltimateFantasticFour: ** Downplayed. Namor demonstrates this trope after spending nine thousand years of being sealed inside a sarcophagus prison. Being from an ancient civilization of Atlantis that predates the modern English language, he initially has no idea what his new captors are saying when they find him. However, thanks to his psionic powers he proves to be a frighteningly fast learner and is able to learn English within an hour to understand modern American English and casually deliver threats and demands. ** Happens again when the Four meets the Silver Surfer who is able to understand English perfectly the instant he arrives to Earth for the first time. He justifies this by stating can decipher electromagnetic signals in the air to learn alien tongues in seconds. * Friends.TropesFToJ: Zig-zagged. "The One Where Ross Can't Flirt" has her speaking with Joey's Italian grandmother, with Phoebe seeming as surprised about this as Joey. But in an earlier episode, Rachel's former lover Paulo calls her "bellissima" and she doesn't understand. ->'''Joey:''' Wow, Phoebs, you speak Italian?\\ '''Phoebe:''' Apparently. * Film.ExorcistTheBeginning: In-universe, the main characters note Cheche's sudden fluency in English after being brought to the hospital. Of course this is because it is Pazuzu speaking through him and not actually Cheche. '''This is DiscussedTrope, not InUniverse'''. * Film.{{Phenomenon}}: Downplayed. After a UFO encounter, George gains a form of superintelligence where he can learn complicated tasks and subjects quickly, to the point where he's able to fluently speak Portuguese after reading an English-to-Portuguese dictionary for twenty minutes. This was foreshadowed in an earlier scene where after usually fumbling to speak Spanish, he's suddenly able to speak it perfectly, to the point that his Hispanic coworker half-seriously declares that it's better than his. * Literature.ForgottenRuin: When Talker and Vandahar speak during the final stretch to the Hidden Cave, Vandahar speaks in what we would recognize as modern German, which of course makes communicating with him very easy for Talker but raises a few questions. * Literature.InCryptid: Of the GeneticMemory version. When Candice the Dragon Princess comes up against the LizardFolk wandering about the New York sewers, she's able to make them halt using a guttural language. She reveals to Verity that it's a inborn language all Princesses know and something the "Servitors" are meant to respond to. She's also never used it before as Servitors can only be created from a [[spoiler:living male dragon]]. * Literature.SeasonalFears: Aven is essentially in a coma all her life but, thanks to the alchemical knowledge tinctures of her father', she speaks perfect English even if there are some issues with definitions. * Literature.ShiversMDSpenser: Bubbie moves to France with her family and meets a new French kid, Jean-Luc, and can somehow converse with him without any language issues; at the end of the story she can hold a long conversation with a stranger in French, despite spending less than a week in the country. Previous books with an overseas setting will at least attempt justifying this trope (for instance, ''Terror on Troll Mountain'' has the protagonist's Italian family choosing to speak in English because they're anticipating American guests) but this one handwaves the issue until it's a borderline plot hole. * Recap.AsterixAndTheGoths: Getafix is able to speak fluent Gothic, despite being a Gaulish druid who has no logical reason to know it (especially considering how antagonistic the Goths are in this story). * Recap.FriendsS5E19TheOneWhereRossCantFlirt: Phoebe speaks with Joey's Italian grandmother, with [[InexplicableLanguageFluency Phoebe seeming as surprised about this as Joey]]. '''Joey:''' Wow, Phoebs, you speak Italian?\\ '''Phoebe:''' Apparently. * Recap.TalesFromTheDarksideS4E6TheGraveRobber: Aileen is surprised to hear Tapok speaking English when he wakes up, the mummy giving an offhand mention that he can speak the language of anyone who violates the tomb. * Roleplay.WanyaKingdomVSAwoofyUnity: Fragment has been shown to speak any language even if he has never heard it before. * Series.{{Llanargollen}}: In "Dirgelwch y Llyfr Coll", Prys and Barti speak to each other in Swahili. It seems incredibly unlikely that Prys would be fluent in that language, and Barti only speaks in unintelligible grunts with individual words thrown in. The other characters barely react to this. * VideoGame.EternalReturnBlackSurvival: The test subjects are able to work together with each other in spite of how one would presume that the vast majority of them would be completely unable to verbally communicate with most of the others. {{Averted}} by some of the achievement lore entries, which include statements observed from test subjects that some of which have a note underneath which states the words were translated by AI and will be reviewed and localized further in the future. '''Since this seems to be an implied example rather than a straight example, and it seems to be ambiguous InUniverse whether it's this or BilingualDialogue, I'll leave it here.''' * VideoGame.MegaManBattleNetwork2?: [=MegaMan=]'s translation system allows Lan to speak flawless Netopian after they arrive in Netopia. * WesternAnimation.{{Pocahontas}}: English explorer John Smith meets the alluring Pocahontas of the Powhatan tribe. Smith doesn't know her language, nor she his. That is, until Pocahontas takes a breath of magic wind. Suddenly, her English is better than his. [[/folder]]
[[folder:Aversions (1/50)]] * DarthWiki.{{Aquilaverse}}: ''Averted'' Not inexplicable, since her spell "Xenographus" let's her read any language she encounters for a limited duration. [[/folder]]
[[folder:Unclear (4/50)]] * Characters.FrightKrewe: His power makes him this. He has the ability to communicate with anyone and understand anything they say, whether its a [[InexplicableLanguageFluency person]], an [[SpeaksFluentAnimal animal]], or an [[NatureSpirit 'elemental entity']]. '''The way the example is written, it's not clear whether it's this or BilingualDialogue.''' * Recap.CreepshowS1E3BadWolfDown: Doc is shown to speak French and understands the language quite fluently, allowing him to translate the explanation of the werewolf woman's plight. '''You can't "understand a language fluently". Does he ''speak'' it fluently, or at least speak it better than he should realistically be able to?''' * Series.AlloAllo: Frenchmen, Germans, and Italians can talk to each other. This is never explained. '''In their own languages, or...?''' * WesternAnimation.SpaceChimps: The [[SpeaksFluentAnimal aliens]] and [[InexplicablySpeaksFluentAlien chimps]] understand each other, despite that the chimps have just arrived on their planet. '''Does one of them speak the other's language, or do they just understand each other's languages?''' [[/folder]]
!!!'''Characters being able to understand a language without demonstrating fluency (24/50) 12%''' [[folder:Amplified Animal Aptitude (7/50) '''3.5%''']] * Literature.MrsFrisbyAndTheRatsOfNIMH: The animals can understand humans and each other, but can't talk to humans. This leads to a bit of FridgeLogic as to where exactly all these animals picked up English (justified for the rats, as they were taught it in the lab, but not for any of the others), and whether they can understand other human languages automatically as well. * Recap.TheSimpsonsS6E6TreehouseOfHorrorV: When Homer is sent back in time to a prehistoric era, and has to avoid stepping on anything to change the future, he ends up swatting a mosquito then asks for reassurance that it won't change the future. He is understood despite being in an era before English existed, since a sloth behind him shrugs and grunts as if to say "I don't know." * TheSimpsons.TropesIToM: ** In "Treehouse of Horror V", when Homer is sent back in time to a prehistoric era, and has to avoid stepping on anything to change the future, he ends up swatting a mosquito then asks for reassurance that it won't change the future. He is understood despite being in an era before English existed, since a sloth behind him shrugs and grunts as if to say "I don't know." '''Just checked and the sloth doesn’t say “I don’t know”, it just grunts with an intonation that indicates that that’s what it was saying. So, not fluent in English.''' * Tarzan.TropesGToZ ** Played straight when Jane talks to a baby baboon and he understands her. * TotalDrama.TropesHToP: Some wild animals--especially squirrels--can understand humans. * WesternAnimation.FindingNemo: Dory understands English. The fish in the tank understand English because they've been hearing humans all their life, but there's no reason for Dory to understand English. [[spoiler:Subverted in that ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'' reveals she was raised in a marine life institute in California.]] '''Since it says “understand” and not “speak” I can only assume this is a case of TranslationConvention and AnimalTalk, which means they aren’t actually fluent in English.''' * WesternAnimation.SpiritStallionOfTheCimarron: Spirit, despite not having had any human contact before his capture, understands what the human characters are saying. [[/folder]]
[[folder:Bilingual Dialogue (11/50)]] * Characters.MashupWeekMegamixCompetitors: Despite the fact that all 3 members speak different languages (English for Scoop, French for Eric and Italian for Baba), they can be understood by each other and by others easily. * Film.NoTimeToDie: James Bond's 5-year-old daughter, Mathilde, understands English even though her mother Madelaine speaks to her in French and all the media she consumes is in French. * Film.Titanic1997: Jack and the Swedish men understand each other well enough that Olaf is able to bet his tickets for all Jack and Fabrizio's money. * FinalFantasyXIV.TropesGToI?: ** In ''Heavensward'', the Warrior and Alphinaud are startled by how they can understand the great wyrm Hraesvelgr, who only speaks the language of dragons. They learn that while other races may not speak the dragon's language, the inherent power and magic in a dragon's song essentially beams meaning directly into the hearer's mind. ** The Scions are shocked in ''Shadowbringers'' when they meet [[spoiler:Emet-Selch's recreation of the lost city of Amaurot, the home of the BenevolentPrecursor race. Although the ancient version of mankind spoke only in a StarfishLanguage of droning tones, the Scions born millennia after the world was sundered find that they're able to discern meaning from it.]] * Literature.CookingWithWildGame: Lampshaded. One of the few supernatural parts of the setting is that [[TrappedInAnotherWorld Asuta]] can understand its inhabitants' language (almost) perfectly. Nobody knows why, nor do they ever find out; it's essentially one of the AcceptableBreaksFromReality needed to get the plot going. * Literature.{{Fablehaven}}: After receiving magic from fairies, Kendra gains the ability to interpret their language intuitively despite never actually learning it. * Manga.MiriyaAndMarie: Aside of occasional GratuitousFrench, Miriya can understand all French and animal characters and vice versa. Blackey also tries to charge Miriya for massage in yen despite being French. * VideoGame.KnightsOfTheOldRepublic: Yes, your character understands plenty of languages, but there isn't anyone who ''should'' understand the language of the AbusivePrecursors. [[spoiler: Subverted. Turns out you'd been there before and learned the language, but just forgotten the whole thing between Malak's backstab and whatever the Jedi did to "rebuild" you]]. '''When moving this to BilingualDialogue, I would rewrite it as “Your character understands plenty of languages, but can only speak one.''' * WebOriginal.MashupWeek: In both tournaments, Flat Eric speaks French, but everyone can understand him perfectly. Same with Gigi, who speaks Italian. * WesternAnimation.JosieAndThePussycats: ''[[RecycledWithAGimmick In Outer Space]]'' has Melody encounter an alien creature that looks like cotton candy with eyes and flippers. The critter speaks in a series of bleeps, and Melody names him Bleep. [[InexplicablySpeaksFluentAlien She can also understand him perfectly, and acts as translator for everyone else]]. Also, Bleep seems to understand English just fine. '''I also think InexplicablySpeaksFluentAlien should be limited to people actually speaking Alien instead of just understanding it, but that’s for another time.''' [[/folder]]
[[folder:Other (6/50)]] * Characters.InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocusMultiverse: Upon looking at some files from the old phone Oscar picked up, he's somehow able to read ''Aztec glyphs'' just by looking at it.

I am expecting the arrival of my Pokemon Go Plus Plus autocatcher and I have a few questions in regards to it:

1. Once it's connected and ready to go, do I have to keep the game as the active app ( open on the screen ) in order for the device to work properly, or can I just lock the screen and carry the phone in my bag?
   
2. If there is a specific cluster of trash pokemon, along with 1 special pokemon ( something I either don't have, or don't wanna risk scaring off with an autocatch attempt ), how do I single it out? Is there a way to stop the autocatch function, and catch those manually with the device, and if so, how do I target the pokemons I wanna catch manually with the autocatcher?
   
3. Can I catch a Ditto with the autocatcher?
   

Hey guys! I'm a bit tech illiterate so I have a question regarding mods in Monster Hunter World. I currently have two mods I want to use: a beacon like indicator for my items and a cutscene skipper (since I have played the game before). Both belong to a "nativePC" folder. Do i put the belongings of one mod to the native pc folder of the other or do i just rename them?

Hello! I’m a rising fourth year DO student who’s interested in pathology. I decided to switch pretty late in the game after my pathology rotation. I have a few questions that I hope someone will be able to answer.

1. If I still would like some patient interaction, are there subspecialties within pathology besides heme/onc that will allow me to talk to patients once in a while without having to do procedures like a bone marrow biopsy?
   
2. If I’m not good at pathology as a medical student, can hard work still make me a good pathologist? A very well respected pathologist told me that I don’t have an eye for pathology and recommended that I do more pathology rotations as a fourth year medical student… His comment made me reconsider choosing pathology.
   
3. Do you ever regret choosing path over other specialties? If you were initially debating between IM and Path, what made you choose path over IM?
   
4. How are the hours as a pathology resident? I know it's program dependent but just wondering what everyone's experience was like.
   
5. Is it possible for me to never have to step in the OR as a pathologist ever again? I don’t mind calling surgeons about frozens / FNAs etc but I really don’t like being in the OR at all.
   

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my questions!

Just copy this, paste this into a sandbox, then make a thread in the Trope Repair Shop linking to it. The thread shall be titled "Needs Help: Inexplicable Language Fluency".
A wick check for InexplicableLanguageFluency.
'''Why?''': InexplicableLanguageFluency seems to lump in examples of characters demonstrating fluency in a language they've never learned with examples of characters merely understanding a language they never learned. For one, it doesn't make sense for the latter examples to be there since the title has the word "fluency" in it. Secondly, many of the latter examples can be moved to BilingualDialogue or AmplifiedAnimalAptitude.
'''Wicks checked''': 50/72
'''Wick totals''':
* 21/50 wicks, or 11.5%, were clear examples of a character demonstrating fluency in a language they never learned. * 24/50 wicks, or 12% were examples of a character understanding a language without demonstrating fluency. * 4/50 wicks, or 2%, were written in a way that made it unclear whether they were being used correctly. * 1/50 wicks, or 1.5%, was an aversion.

After a UFO encounter, George gains a form of superintelligence where he can learn complicated tasks and subjects quickly, to the point where he's able to fluently speak Portuguese after reading an English-to-Portuguese dictionary for twenty minutes.

I have posted once maybe twice about mother. I'm more of a lurker and have been for a long time. Mother was cruel to me most of my life. I was the unwanted daughter, the scapegoat, the black sheep of the family. I learned to stand up for myself and my son many yrs ago. Mother and I had our ups ans downs for so many yrs. In the past yr she surprisingly changed for the better. We would talk and even hang out with each other. She apologized to me and told me she loved me and was proud of me. I still kept my guard up. In late Jan we found out she had an aggressive pancreatic cancer. Then she caught an infection and sepsis happened. She spent most of the last few months in the hospital. She passed away this past Sunday surrounded by all her children. I am not an emotional person. I haven't cried at all. I do feel sadness for her passing. I'm at peace. I just feel broken cause everyone is crying around me. Yet I haven't even shed a tear. I tried crying but it just isn't there. Has anyone experienced this with a just no?

Later, upon meeting Tsuyoshi Kondo after Eiko's performance at the Yoyogi Art Festival, Kongming easily translates his GratuitousEnglish for a confused Kobayashi, and he's even become friends with a foreigner in Roppongi, who speaks exclusively in English.

Just copy this, paste this into a sandbox, then make a thread in the Trope Repair Shop linking to it. The thread shall be titled "Needs Help: Inexplicable Language Fluency".
A wick check for InexplicableLanguageFluency.
'''Why?''': InexplicableLanguageFluency seems to lump in examples of characters demonstrating fluency in a language they've never learned with examples of characters merely understanding a language they never learned. For one, it doesn't make sense for the latter examples to be there since the title has the word "fluency" in it. Secondly, many of the latter examples can be moved to BilingualDialogue or AmplifiedAnimalAptitude.
'''Wicks checked''': 50/72
'''Wick totals''':
* 21/50 wicks, or 11.5%, were clear examples of a character demonstrating fluency in a language they never learned. * 24/50 wicks, or 12% were examples of a character understanding a language without demonstrating fluency. * 4/50 wicks, or 2%, were written in a way that made it unclear whether they were being used correctly. * 1/50 wicks, or 1.5%, was an aversion.
[[folder:Characters demonstrating fluency in a language they never learned (21/50)]] * Characters.AtlantisTheLostEmpire: The Atlanteans are able to fluently communicate with the explorers from the surface in English and French. This is handwaved as their own language being a precursor to all other languages. * Characters.YaBoyKongming: ** Kongming finds himself immediately fluent in Japanese despite having never learned the language, and the Japan of his era was still a dwarf country that mostly only sent envoys to Shu's rival kingdom of Wei. Eiko points out the absurdity of how an ancient Chinese figure can suddenly speak Japanese, and Kongming himself is at a loss of how he can do this. * Characters.YellowjacketsCrashSurvivors: [[spoiler:She, and by extension others in the Antler Queen cult she forms, randomly speak French on occasion, which Lottie at least is ''not'' fluent in, indicating mental instability.]] '''If this is supposed to be an inversion, it's correct, but it should be rewritten to mention that it's an inversion.''' * ComicBook.Asterix: Gauls can speak to most foreign peoples without any difficulty. Either everyone can speak Gaulish, or the Gauls can speak other languages, but either way is downright impossible. * ComicBook.UltimateFantasticFour: ** Downplayed. Namor demonstrates this trope after spending nine thousand years of being sealed inside a sarcophagus prison. Being from an ancient civilization of Atlantis that predates the modern English language, he initially has no idea what his new captors are saying when they find him. However, thanks to his psionic powers he proves to be a frighteningly fast learner and is able to learn English within an hour to understand modern American English and casually deliver threats and demands. ** Happens again when the Four meets the Silver Surfer who is able to understand English perfectly the instant he arrives to Earth for the first time. He justifies this by stating can decipher electromagnetic signals in the air to learn alien tongues in seconds. * Friends.TropesFToJ: Zig-zagged. "The One Where Ross Can't Flirt" has her speaking with Joey's Italian grandmother, with Phoebe seeming as surprised about this as Joey. But in an earlier episode, Rachel's former lover Paulo calls her "bellissima" and she doesn't understand. ->'''Joey:''' Wow, Phoebs, you speak Italian?\\ '''Phoebe:''' Apparently. * Film.ExorcistTheBeginning: In-universe, the main characters note Cheche's sudden fluency in English after being brought to the hospital. Of course this is because it is Pazuzu speaking through him and not actually Cheche. '''This is DiscussedTrope, not InUniverse'''. * Film.{{Phenomenon}}: Downplayed. After a UFO encounter, George gains a form of superintelligence where he can learn complicated tasks and subjects quickly, to the point where he's able to fluently speak Portuguese after reading an English-to-Portuguese dictionary for twenty minutes. This was foreshadowed in an earlier scene where after usually fumbling to speak Spanish, he's suddenly able to speak it perfectly, to the point that his Hispanic coworker half-seriously declares that it's better than his. * Literature.ForgottenRuin: When Talker and Vandahar speak during the final stretch to the Hidden Cave, Vandahar speaks in what we would recognize as modern German, which of course makes communicating with him very easy for Talker but raises a few questions. * Literature.InCryptid: Of the GeneticMemory version. When Candice the Dragon Princess comes up against the LizardFolk wandering about the New York sewers, she's able to make them halt using a guttural language. She reveals to Verity that it's a inborn language all Princesses know and something the "Servitors" are meant to respond to. She's also never used it before as Servitors can only be created from a [[spoiler:living male dragon]]. * Literature.SeasonalFears: Aven is essentially in a coma all her life but, thanks to the alchemical knowledge tinctures of her father', she speaks perfect English even if there are some issues with definitions. * Literature.ShiversMDSpenser: Bubbie moves to France with her family and meets a new French kid, Jean-Luc, and can somehow converse with him without any language issues; at the end of the story she can hold a long conversation with a stranger in French, despite spending less than a week in the country. Previous books with an overseas setting will at least attempt justifying this trope (for instance, ''Terror on Troll Mountain'' has the protagonist's Italian family choosing to speak in English because they're anticipating American guests) but this one handwaves the issue until it's a borderline plot hole. * Recap.AsterixAndTheGoths: Getafix is able to speak fluent Gothic, despite being a Gaulish druid who has no logical reason to know it (especially considering how antagonistic the Goths are in this story). * Recap.FriendsS5E19TheOneWhereRossCantFlirt: Phoebe speaks with Joey's Italian grandmother, with [[InexplicableLanguageFluency Phoebe seeming as surprised about this as Joey]]. '''Joey:''' Wow, Phoebs, you speak Italian?\\ '''Phoebe:''' Apparently. * Recap.TalesFromTheDarksideS4E6TheGraveRobber: Aileen is surprised to hear Tapok speaking English when he wakes up, the mummy giving an offhand mention that he can speak the language of anyone who violates the tomb. * Roleplay.WanyaKingdomVSAwoofyUnity: Fragment has been shown to speak any language even if he has never heard it before. * Series.{{Llanargollen}}: In "Dirgelwch y Llyfr Coll", Prys and Barti speak to each other in Swahili. It seems incredibly unlikely that Prys would be fluent in that language, and Barti only speaks in unintelligible grunts with individual words thrown in. The other characters barely react to this. * VideoGame.EternalReturnBlackSurvival: The test subjects are able to work together with each other in spite of how one would presume that the vast majority of them would be completely unable to verbally communicate with most of the others. {{Averted}} by some of the achievement lore entries, which include statements observed from test subjects that some of which have a note underneath which states the words were translated by AI and will be reviewed and localized further in the future. '''Since this seems to be an implied example rather than a straight example, and it seems to be ambiguous InUniverse whether it's this or BilingualDialogue, I'll leave it here.''' * VideoGame.MegaManBattleNetwork2?: [=MegaMan=]'s translation system allows Lan to speak flawless Netopian after they arrive in Netopia. * WesternAnimation.{{Pocahontas}}: English explorer John Smith meets the alluring Pocahontas of the Powhatan tribe. Smith doesn't know her language, nor she his. That is, until Pocahontas takes a breath of magic wind. Suddenly, her English is better than his. [[/folder]]

Hi, I purchased the game a couple of days ago and have put a fair few hours in so far. Of course, the factory is a complete mess, I'm just muddling through and experimenting, learning as I go. I've stayed away from guides and tutorials, even though I know this will result in countless base teardowns in the future (which I'm looking forward to).
I'd already guessed it however it became apparent, as soon as I started feeding the assemblers that need two input items, that my mighty iron smelting array (four smelters no less!) isn't going to cut it..... I've just unlocked Steel in the tech tree and am at a point where I'm of a mind to go back and rework all of the iron/copper based things. I can already see that the ratios are way off and I suspect that if I don't fix what I've done, plus scale up, issues will just compound if I keep going before doing that?
Anyway onto the question! Although I can see there are more tiers to unlock I'm wondering just how big the game is in terms of tech tree / research path is compared to Factorio (in which I have maybe 1500 hours)? Not looking for any spoilers, just some idea of how big the game is in that respect, if that makes sense? I guess I'm hoping that there is a lot more to come.

Hey guys, I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about online casinos in Canada, saying they’re not as good as what they have in the states or overseas. Honestly, I think they are just playing at the wrong sites. I say this because that’s exactly what happened to me.
I’ve been playing at Canadian sites for over five years, but I wasted a lot of that time on casinos like Casumo (couldn’t win) and Yukon Gold (trash). There were a few others in there as well, but they were crap too.
Good news is, once I got sick of giving my money away, I found a few casinos that are actually worth a damn. Here’s my list of the best online casinos Canada players can use:

• Jackpot City: this is the best site, hands down. It’s the only place I’ve had any luck at slots, even hit a couple small jackpots
• Spin Casino: best mobile app, and the most expensive one i have besides DoorDash
• PlayOjo: they offer bonuses with no wagering requirements and it’s not a scam
• Lucky7even: more good slots here, plus you can get cashback if you’re a VIP
• Neospin: $10k welcome bonus and 100 free spins, plus other great bonuses
• Roosterbet: good casino, great sportsbook
• Skycrown: I only play table games once in a blue moon, but this is the place to do it
• Qbet: Live dealer games are great here
• Jokersino: you can get like $2500 a week from them if you cash in all the offers
• SlotsPalace: they have sick slots here. Haven’t won much here yet, but the games are gorgeous and fun

That’s it, that’s the list. Let me know if you have any questions about any of the sites.

Hello, I’m currently installing the game from the first torrent link and not the direct play version (1.08 Ksenia) from dodi repacka. My question is which version I’ll get once it finishes because I want to have v1.08 wrestlemania edition with all dlcs and I didn’t notice that the direct play link for it was down the page. Do you think it’s better to re download the direct play version and remove the current installation?
