Solving percents. I use this to predict gross and net of my paychecks when I do my budget.

Net               X
------    =    ------
Gross            100


(GrossX) = (Net × 100)

GrossX ÷ (Net × 100) = X

Example;

200             X
------    =   -------
250            100

Step A
200 × 100 = 20000

Now 250X = 20000

Step B
20000÷250=80

Therefore X=80
Also expressed as 80% of 250 = 200.

It's also kinda handy when figuring out sales and stuff at the store, sometimes.

U.S. Army Hits Annual Recruiting Goal Months Early — ‘Renewed Sense of Patriotism’ Under Trump in c/conservative
[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The statistical inclusion of fascists in the mention of voluntary military recruits absolutely is reality, having spoken with the family I have who are currently serving, who are seeing and speaking with the new recruits coming in to the armed forces. It's a topic of discussion at family functions. You trying to discredit my point of view by attacking my motivation is a poor but recognized debate tactic. My personal view of the military is not a factor in my original statement anyway. Do try to stay on the point, even of you fail to properly read and understand the statement. I have great respect for the people who serve the country through inclusion in the armed forces, and their willingness to put themselves in the way of harm to provide a better life for the people that are not.

As for your second argument, the word nazi is not some slur I'm using against a group I don't like, it's a very real state of political view that absolutely survives and arguably thrives in many places in the U.S. I may not use the term 'Neo-Nazi' to discriminate between past and present, but that doesn’t lessen the justification for the application of that label to those who espouse the same beliefs as historical Nazism. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, being loose in my use of the word Nazi. I am refusing to allow apologists to discourage the use of a term that rightfully brings to mind the full impact of the beliefs held by those to whom the term Nazi applies to. I was taught by my grandfather what a Nazi is and why men of character cannot accept such views to become enshrined in the hearts or heads of those around him.

I didn't call a soldier a nazi, I said that Nazis wanted to play soldier and do Nazi shit. The reality is that recruitment is up, and part of that is going to be white fascist leaning boys who want to have a gun and be told to use it.

I have family in every branch of the military, and have heard the stories from them directly of meeting up with far too many of these kinds of people.

I also had family who fought the nazis, we visited his grave this past memorial day at a national cemetery.

I know exactly what I said, and what kind of people are currently in power in the USA.

You mean Nazis who want to do government sanctioned Nazi shit? No surprise there

Time to abolish at will employment. in c/antiwork@lemmy.world
[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 week ago

Friend, your guild idea already exists. It's just called a Union in the current day. Many trades already operate this way, from the Carpenters Union to the Iron Workers Union. There's even a Teamsters Union. The different name doesn't change the work they do. White- collar hand much less representation with collective solidarity, but that can be fixed by starting a Union at your local work place. I won't tell anyone it's easy, but it's worth putting in the work. A great example is the Starbucks unions that have popped up in the last few years. The reason you don't see more unions is because employers are terrified of them, and want to continue to freely exploit the workforce through fear.

While I agree with getting rid of at-will policies, I disagree with one part of your idea. Why would I ever want to indenture myself to 5 years with the same employer? How would unions be handled? How about strikes? What about health insurance benefits?

Frankly, unions already solve alot of the problems with at-will employment, and should be protected by law rather then systemically stripped away.

Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 weeks ago

Depends on the car and the parking lot, for me. When I drive my mom someplace we use her van, it's easier for her to get in and out that way. This van has a shorter front end, and no backup camera to compensate, so I back in and pull out of spaces so I have better views as I'm moving.

When I drive my sedan with my wife and kids, I pull in to spaces and back out, because the sedan has a much longer front end and a great backup camera/radar alert system that makes backing out of spaces the safer option.

Coming of the Night (ttrpg.network)
 

Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

When footsteps crackle among long dead and dreary bones, and looming tyrants bellows echo over painful muffled moans,

Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

As children cry and call for parents lost embrace, and families weep in fear of loss, should they fall from grace,

Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

To stop the shadow of kings cloak, from stretching 'cross the land, and return true freedom to the peoples rightful hands,

Rage, rage, against the coming of the night. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

The call of rage against this dark injustice, summons forth collective might.

[Help] Does anyone know how to delete a 'Downloaded' controller config? (ttrpg.network)
 

I had 3 configs I was testing for No Man's Sky, and since the last couple updates the community configs are broken. If I launch the game those configs come up as totally empty of assigned controls. I can switch to a Hello Games config and it works fine. I can't seem to find any way to delete a configuration once it's been downloaded. I was hoping that deleting and re-download would fix the issue.

PSA: Nested Desktop Mode (ttrpg.network)
 

After seeing some folks noticing a comment I made elsewhere in this instance, I thought a full post would be best. For those who don't know, the Steam Deck has a feature called Nested Desktop, which allows fast access to Desktop mode without needing to leave Game Mode or reboot into and out of modes.

To use this, go into desktop mode, open the menu and use the search function to look for "Nested Desktop". Now right click and add that to Steam. When you boot into Game mode, you'll see a new item added called Nested Desktop, which you can open to access desktop mode while still in game mode.

I found out about this almost a week ago and so far I use it most for referencing my digital game guides or searching NMS portal codes while still gaming. It's pretty seamless and really opens up some nice options, like modding a game and being able to boot it faster while having Game mode controls available.

What is a Yocan Torch?

Introduction If you are a fan of vaping, then you may have heard of the Yocan Torch. This device is a portable e-nail that allows you to vaporize your favorite concentrates on the go. It is a popular choice among vaping enthusiasts because of its convenience, portability, and ease of use. In this article, we will take a closer look at what the Yocan Torch is and how it works.

What is a Yocan Torch? The Yocan Torch is a portable e-nail that is designed for use with concentrates such as wax, shatter, and oil. It is a small, handheld device that is powered by a rechargeable battery. The Torch is made up of two main components: the battery and the atomizer. The battery is the power source for the Yocan Torch. It is a rechargeable battery that can be charged using a USB cable. The battery has a capacity of 1100mAh, which is enough to provide several sessions of vaping before it needs to be recharged. The atomizer is the part of the Yocan Torch that heats up the concentrate and turns it into vapor. The atomizer is made up of a quartz dual coil (QDC) and a glass tube. The QDC is the heating element that heats up the concentrate, while the glass tube is where the vapor is produced.

How does the Yocan Torch work? To use the Yocan Torch, you first need to charge the battery. Once the battery is fully charged, you can attach the atomizer to the battery. To do this, simply screw the atomizer onto the battery until it is firmly in place. Next, you need to load your concentrate into the atomizer. To do this, remove the glass tube from the atomizer and place a small amount of concentrate onto the QDC. Be careful not to overload the atomizer, as this can cause it to clog and reduce its effectiveness. Once you have loaded your concentrate, replace the glass tube and turn on the Yocan Torch by pressing the power button five times in quick succession. The power button is located on the front of the battery and is marked with a Yocan logo. The Yocan Torch will begin to heat up the concentrate, and you will see vapor start to form inside the glass tube. To inhale the vapor, simply place your mouth over the mouthpiece at the top of the glass tube and inhale.

Conclusion The Yocan Torch is a convenient and portable e-nail that is perfect for vaping concentrates on the go. Its compact size and ease of use make it a popular choice among vaping enthusiasts. If you are looking for a reliable and efficient way to vaporize your favorite concentrates, then the Yocan Torch is definitely worth considering.

It's disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines. A "cost of doing business" for the corporate aristocrats. This is the threat the upper class uses on the rest of us, and all too often do not suffer themselves.

Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait

Assembly Bill A8132 has been assigned a "Same As" bill in the Senate: S8586 [NYSenate.gov] [A8132 - 2023]

I don't own a gun, I never have and I don't plan to at any time in the future. But if these pass in the NYS Senate and Congress, it would be required to submit fingerprints for a background check then wait 15 days, before you could own any "COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL."

This isn't even going to stop any crimes from happening, for pity sakes regular guns end up in criminal charges all the time, regardless of background check laws. How about some real change and effective measures, rather then virtue-signaling and theater illusion for a constituency?
