Q: Are speedrunning techniques and strategies on-topic here?

I recently started learning how to speedrun Super Metroid. There are lots of YouTube and Twitch videos for specific, well-known strats (e.g. short-charging, Kraid quick-kill, etc.), but I see many strats emerging from currently active speedrunners that don't have tutorials or explanations yet.

djsmiley2k

is that all?

i worry about scripts doing nasty things in chrome, as I don't have no script

MBraedley

It's like the linker isn't doing what it's supposed to, because the library doesn't show up in the directory it's supposed to.

@djsmiley2k It uses the same ad-block lists that other ad-blockers use.

Wipqozn

@djsmiley2k The solution is to install noscript.

i don't use any ad bocking normally

I adblock pretty much all the time

i thought it stopped javascript or whatever.

I am currently trying to setup a garrysmod dedicated server, however the server keeps crashing. cat: hlds.3801.pid: no such file or directory is the only noticeable error that I see that would be causing the issue.

Q: How can I destroy sensitive documents?

I have some documents that have sensitive information on them, which for obvious reasons I do not want others to get their hands on. How can I destroy these documents so that others cannot read them? I don't have access to a paper shredder, which is generally the recommended way of destroying them.

hmm, i couldve added murder to that

@Dragonrage if you liked it you shoulda putted a murder on it.

@ardaozkal i dont think the tag exists on lifehacks

@Dragonrage I destroyed some sensitive documents once by soaking them in water for a while and then blending the pulp.

@JoshPetrie you could post an answer, or are you avoiding making an account there?

Q: Can you move items from pack into stash?

I have noticed that once you get full on an item you get the notification that your pack is full of said item, and nothing seems to have been done with the item you tried to pick up.

@Powerlord i remember u mentioning that back when @AshleyNunn had her gambling problem

@ardaozkal did you mean to end your answer with "then throw the remaining pieces."

Powerlord

@Dragonrage I've never run these commands before. Might have been something else dealing with Topo.

ardaozkal

@Dragonrage I meant like, throw the stuff left in water.

or let them dry and then burn them

Then stab the ashes.

Q: Will crafted Excalibur's also have no repairs/low durability?

I found the Excalibur on the rock and also got the blueprint. I was shocked to see the one I picked up had only 8 durability and no repairs. Before realizing it I had upgraded it with a number of pretty good upgrades. If I craft my own from the blueprint will it also be just as gimmicky?

@Unionhawk Possibly, there's no way of knowing until they do actually roll it out

And yes, your point stands

Also Lollipop was a long time ago

But I guess they're potentially moving to doing it right?

Also yes
