- The is a kitchen? (You came in a TARDIS and ask for a kitchen?!?!?!)

Q: Can't stop running using Logitech F510 playing Assassin's Creed 3

I'm playing Assassin's Creed 3 with my Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510. When I start running (hitting RT) I can't stop. This makes it impossible to continue playing, because I can't complete missions where I would have to aim (because aiming is not possible while running). Is there something I could...

Banana equivalent dose

A banana equivalent dose (abbreviated BED) is a nonstandard unit of radiation exposure, ostensibly defined as the additional dose a person will absorb from eating one banana. The concept is based on the fact that bananas, like most organic material, naturally contain a certain amount of radioactive isotopes—even in the absence of any contamination due to human nuclear endeavors. The banana equivalent dose was meant to express the severity of exposure to radiation, such as resulting from nuclear power, nuclear weapons or medical procedures, in terms that would make sense to most people. ...

Huh. This is a thing?

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, it's for comparing radiation dosages

Wipqozn

@LessPop_MoreFizz It must be. Wikipedia wouldn't lie.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well yes, I read the article.

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Banana has high level of potassium, and potassium is slightly radioactive

To be fair the chest x-ray equivalent is probably a better unit for translating radiation dosage

@OrigamiRobot The one I duped to should be historically locked.

OrigamiRobot

I don't think we do historical locks.

MBraedley

But we should. That question is the primary example for why we should. At the time it was asked, it was fine. Now it isn't. I believe that's the definition for use of historical locks

murgatroid99

@MBraedley Not every question like that does or should get a historical lock.

I'd rather turn historic locks into blog posts

It's only for really good/popular questions that have stood the test of time, so to speak

badp

we haven't been using our own blog in way too long

MBraedley

@murgatroid99 True, but just going back to that question, it has a canonical answer, which for me pushes it over the edge. If there were just some crappy answer, then I probably wouldn't suggest putting a historical lock on it.

The question itself isn't all that spectacular.

murgatroid99

@MBraedley The thing that makes me skeptical is that the question wasn't really on-topic when it came out. In the meta discussion linked in the comments, the top answer from within a week of the question being asked gives a pretty good reason why the question doesn't belong on this site at all

@murgatroid99 I'm not sure how it survived so long.

Q: What MLAA settings should I use with ATI 77xx?

I've had experienced quite frequent crashes with BF3 on Radeon 7750. Allegedly using MLAA (aka "morphological filtering" AA) solves the problem, however I'm not sure what exact settings should I use in BF3 video options and Catalyst Control Center to get best results. I've tried just activating ...

@OrigamiRobot My guess is that people forgot about it while the bounty was there and then it didn't accumulate enough close votes

OrigamiRobot

@murgatroid99 But then it was edited. in Aug and still stayed for over a year after that.

murgatroid99

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, it's weird. Given the answer in the meta question, it's clearly off topic. Maybe people just didn't look at it when it hit the front page, or didn't realize that a +10 months old question might be off topic

Ben Brocka

has anyone used Steam Big Picture Mode with multiple displays before?

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it just always royally screws up your monitor order if your TV isn't your primary display (and there's zero chance of me using the TV as the primary display)

A: When is it ideal to feed my pokemon vitamins?

You have to feed the Vitamins to your Pokemon early. EVs in a given stat can go up to 255, but Vitamins can only boost EVs up to 100, and the rest must be gained manually. For that reason, it's generally easiest to feed the Pokemon 10 of whatever vitamin you want and then train up the rest of the...

@OrigamiRobot That's a good choice.

Q: How can I reduce panic in a country?

I had to ignore a call for help from India because the one from Germany had a better reward. Now India is at 4 out of 5 panic bar thingies, and I don't know what I can do to get that back down. They are not funding me currently, but it seems like it would be bad if that bar fills up. What can I ...

Q: What do all of the 'Re-up' symbols look like?

In Gears of Way Judgement, you can re-up - similar to the 'prestiging' in Call of Duty. The problem is though, I would like to know how many times my opponents have re-uped. The current symbol for re-up #1 looks like a bronze star. I think the #2 re-up looks like a bronze star with a circle ...
