Irrelevance, irreverence, and overly strong opinions on matters of absolutely no consequence.

I spoke too little. I said too much.

So it turns out when you tell everyone at the same time that they haven't synced with bnet in 30 days or more, you should probably not.

Someone asked me how to calculate reflection over an axis in hex coordinates. I didn't know the answer, so I sketched it out on paper. Turns out to be elegant: you swap two of the coordinates! Then optionally negate all of them. Building the interactive diagrams now…

[Damian @dg_weber]

No, seriously. I straight up don't understand. I'm pretty sure the option "Remember this User on this Device" has been standard for like 10 years now...

[Damian @dg_weber]

why can't Netflix remember which user I am on a computer? Am I taking crazy pills?

@KihraOfTemerity RE:https://t.co/R4wwhBjCQB

Am I getting this right:

our cumulative kill time is 462s, so
(462s)*(1 deathwish/75s) = 6.16 = 7 "rounded up"

We use 6 so we're totally safe, right? We're a little higher performing but we don't logout so just trying to make sure

[Warcraft Logs @WarcraftLogs]

Classic Blackwing Lair runs that wait on Recklessness are being blacklisted.

To combat "logout runs", warriors may use Death Wish no more than once per 75 seconds of boss time (rounded up). If excessive Death Wish use is seen, the entire run is disqualified as a complete raid.

Just in case anyone was wondering, "I hope you don't die before you write that book I want to read" isn't actually a compliment.
