What's the generic name (if there is one) for software that helps someone puzzle out things like "This create X, where X needs to go to Y, and then Y goes to Z" sort of things, if there is one, does anyone know of a good type of software? I'm not asking for a big business sort of thing, I'm just looking for something to sperg out with Stardew Valley.

Yeah you're looking for a flowchart. Draw.io is great, as mentioned. If you want to figure out conversions through the process, just use Google Sheets or Excel.

I'm using a Google map plugin for Wordpress, and when I upload a custom map marker icon, it shows up as huge on the map. When I shrink them, they end up looking pixelly. When I look for marker icon packs for the plugin (MapifyPro), they are .psd files that contain multiple icons in one image. Any ideas for what I can try next?

I have a door in my basement wall and while I'm like 90% sure it's the ash pit below my fireplace, I don't have the ability to open it to know for sure. There are a few small holes in it, but I can't see anything through them except more door mechanism. They look like they were drilled by someone who also didn't have a key an was wondering what the hell was back there and maybe found a way to open it. How do I open this door? I already tried "sticking a screwdriver in and pressing up on things."

do crowbars and hammers just not exist where you are? also gently caress buying a house that has some weird unopenable door in the basement. those are definitely blood droplet stains.

Leal posted:See if you can get a wire and bend it, then put it into the top hole and back out the bottom hole and tug. Tried this, it’s still latched so it didn’t do much more than wiggle which is all I’ve achieved so far. The door isn’t wedged shut or something, so banging on it doesn’t do much. Assuming it IS the ash pit, I don’t want to destroy the door’s ability to latch by prying it open with a crowbar. One of the holes is straight into the side of the lock cylinder, I’m wondering if there some piece of the lock in there I can fiddle with?\ e: I futzed with the cylinder drill hole enough to determine the pins are operable in the lock, but turning the cylinder does nothing to the latch, it just spins.

How far below the fireplace is it? You may be able to get a look down in there from above.

is hand wash as effective as soap? I've been buying hand wash lately because it's way neater and tidier than a foamy bar of soap, and I also like the smells hand wash comes in. but i've never known if hand wash just smells nice and doesn't actually get rid of bacteria on my hands, compared to soap.

What hand wash are you talking about that isn't soap? Most are soap. There's not really much of a reason to use bar soap. The big thing that's effective is the friction of your hands against each other with the water going to wash things away, the soap liquid or solid just needs to help with the process, provide moisturizing, etc.

When a W-4 or M-4 form says "Additional withholding per pay period under agreement with employer: $_____", what exactly is going on there? What happens if I put in $0? Should I be putting in a different number?

Pollyanna posted:When a W-4 or M-4 form says "Additional withholding per pay period under agreement with employer: $_____", what exactly is going on there? What happens if I put in $0? Should I be putting in a different number? Did you explicitly ask your employer to withhold extra money from your paycheck? If you did, you need to enter the number you told them to withhold. Otherwise, enter 0.

Snorkzilla posted:How far below the fireplace is it? You may be able to get a look down in there from above. It’s the floor below the fireplace, but it’s not directly beneath the fireplace. That’s what has me confused. It might just be offset to one side, but I’m not sure why you’d make an ash pit like that. [quote="“ladron”" post="“478553280”"] well, it has already lost the ability to open, which is like 50% of a doors job. you can always replace it with a piece of wood, or hold it closed with a wire, or actually fix it once you have it open. crack it open, release the souls of the damned we all know are trapped behind it.

It seems to me that the suggested solution might not be quite fireproof enough for the job.

Let's say you're an astronaut and you've landed on a planet that has an Earth-like atmosphere except there's no oxygen. If you took off your helmet and tried to breathe, what would would happen?

If you took off your helmet and tried to breathe, what would would happen? If there's CO2 you'll feel like you're suffocating for a couple minutes until you pass out. If not, you'll feel just fine as you gradually grow more sluggish and pass out; our "oh-god-gotta-breathe" reflex is based on CO2 buildup in the blood, so without that your body has no indication anything is wrong. That's why asphyxiation hazards are such a big deal even here on earth.

Mister Kingdom posted:Let's say you're an astronaut and you've landed on a planet that has an Earth-like atmosphere except there's no oxygen. If you took off your helmet and tried to breathe, what would would happen? Depends a what gas makes up the difference, basically. Your body's "holy poo poo I'm suffocating" response is triggered when there is too much carbon dioxide in the air you're inhaling. I think the threshold at which you're starting to feel adverse effects starts at around 5-7% CO2 in your air (for reference, in our atmosphere it's usually around ~0.05%), though that might depend on how active you are. So if the lacking oxygen was replaced by CO2, you'd be in for a very uncomfortable experience, suffocating in very short order and panicking the whole time as your body goes into overdrive trying to get more air. However, that response only really exists for CO2 specifically, and does not exist for most other gases. Gases like nitrogen, for example, which makes up the majority of our atmosphere. If a gas like that displaces oxygen, you'll generally just start to feel drowsy, then fall unconscious in a fairly peaceful manner, then die in short order. Nitrogen suffocation has actually been proposed as an alternative execution method, as it's relatively humane as far as these things go. So, if the oxygen was replaced by nitrogen (or similar inert gases), or if you just sucked out all the oxygen without changing the amount of the other gases, then that's likely what's going to happen. You'd fall asleep and die, relatively peacefully.

If you took off your helmet and tried to breathe, what would would happen? Depends on what the atmosphere *is*. Let's assume that per your suggestion that the atmosphere is like earth's minus the oxygen. Let's further assume that the portion that was oxygen is replaced with nitrogen, so the air is 99% nitrogen. This was a tragedy that struck just before the first space shuttle launch. An access panel was removed for maintenance to a compartment that had been filled with nitrogen as opposed to oxygen to avoid fires. The first tech crawled in, passed out, and then one by one, others went in to rescue the passed out guys before realizing what was going on. I want to say 5 people died all told. Now, if the air mixture was in other proportions or had toxic materials in it, you'd probably start coughing, choking, gasping, and struggling to put your helmet back on. But that wouldn't technically be an "earth-like" atmosphere.

Most are soap. There's not really much of a reason to use bar soap. This is a bit pedantic but washing with normal soap as a bar or lotion isn't going to get rid of very much bacteria. Which is just fine, since acti-bacterial soaps and solutions contribute to building resistant bacteria. Keeping surfaces clean and dry creates an environment which bacteria can't thrive in.

I'm seeing my three cousins (all teen girls) in December and wanted to get them each iTunes gift cards... until I realized there's a 99% chance they stream all their music and have never even considered buying TV/movies from the iTunes store. Which sucks because the iTunes gift card has been a great neutral gift staple for a decade! What's a good alternative? I'm totally blanking. Amazon for sure, but maybe I'm forgetting something.
