  • Best-of-5 series of professional StarCraft 2 between Serral (Zerg) and ShoWTimE (Protoss). In this series Serral decides to cheese in practically every game, even though he's usually a macro Zerg. These games were played in the lower bracket of the HomeStory Cup 22 playoffs.

    Harstem has said that Serral is the most dangerous if he has nothing to lose (more like doesn't care about losing). But if he's trying to win or protect his ranking, etc., that's where he gets pretty rigid and "boring". I hope he gets knocked down again. It's always awesome to see his climb back up like what happened earlier this year in Katowice when he entered god mode.

    Smoke detectors can activate with high humidity in room, since the inner part of the sensor is could be cooler than the room temperature and vapor can condense in it, which disturbs the chemistry or beam check of the sensor.
    Sometimes the dust fall inside the sensor (for a long time) and if you don't clean it regularly, the slightest movements in the air (like moving on the bed, a draft from poorly closing windows etc) can show it like there is a fire.

    Lowko, be aware that smoke detectors can also detect carbon monoxide, that sometimes can be generated without a large fire. If you're in doubt, call the fire department, they have a device that can measure the CO levels. These days the same thing happened to me, but it was not a false positive, the heater was really leaking CO gas, and we had to evacuate the house.

    Hey lowko, at 12:15 your smoke detectors probably need their batteries changed. If you have a few of them in your home, one needing a battery replacement can cause them all to go off if they're wired to power together. Contact your maintenance team via work order if you live in an apartment complex, they'll have it situated in a few minutes. Or, if you want to yourself, you can also change them. It's usually a side compartment with a 9-volt battery that just slips in and out.

    If it's an ionization smoke detector and the dust has an opposite electrostatic charge of the ionized air in the sensor chamber, it could get attracted to it once airborne. IIRC some ionization smoke detectors have a bit of americium-241 in them that ionizes the air so there's a chance that what woke you up was a little tidbit of *freedom* .

    when my parent's smoke detector went off, they grabbed a broom, and was 'sweeping' the air to get the smoke away from the detector.
    I'd recommend to find out why the smoke detector went off, or, was it chirping or constant, if it's chirping, it means the battery is low.

      FFA doesn't really work at a competitive level because the optimal strategy is basically always to just turtle and do nothing. Even if you succeed at attacking someone, you'll still end up losing because it costs too much to do it.
      It either turns into a game where players make agreements to let one of them win and split the prize or a game where all of the players turtle and nothing happens until people get too bored.

    Chat GPT3:
    "The joke "Life was a lot more fun before Newton invented gravity" is a play on words that relies on the listener's understanding of the concept of gravity as well as the historical context in which it was discovered.
    Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and scientist who is famous for his work on the laws of motion and gravity. In 1687, he published "Principia Mathematica," which described his laws of motion and the concept of gravity as a force that attracts objects towards each other based on their masses.
    The joke "Life was a lot more fun before Newton invented gravity" suggests that before the concept of gravity was understood, people could behave in a carefree and unrestricted way, as if gravity did not exist. This is meant to be humorous because it is clearly impossible for gravity to have been "invented" in the way that the joke implies, and it also implies that the concept of gravity has somehow made life less enjoyable or less free.
    Overall, the joke is intended to be a light-hearted and humorous way to make a reference to the concept of gravity and the role it plays in our everyday lives."
