| "No, it doesn't doubledip fire or cold.\n\nBut that doesn't matter at least as a trapper/miner you don't have any %cold or %fire on tree anyway (snowforged would be reasonable, but not a must have) and you're using Doryani's Catalyst or spelldamage (dippetydip with vortex) weapon, so the only double dipping you'd miss compared to pyre is %fire in jewels. \n\nAlso it has nice synergy with elemental equilibrium, your ignite will always get the benefit from it even if you don't use orb of storms, shield charge or whatever you proc it with.

| "I don’t think I’ve ever punched a wall but I have said some...disturbing things to more than one no-skin noob under my breath....the game was relaxing at first really. The you get better, and your state of mind changes. You become a “tryhard”.\nYou believe you are better than those default skin kids. (You also start referring to enemy players as kids, literally, just as a means of disrespect) And when they kill you, it becomes personal. For me at least, took a while break this nasty mentality. I still rage quit but I’m not so toxic about it anymore. You just have to know that they think nothing of you. They killed you In game, and that’s it. Your source of anger may be different but mine was the fact that I legitimately believed I was better than the people who killed me and when they beat me, I always pictured them talking trash and calling me bad that’s why I used to get so salty.", |
| "If you take those \"debates\" at face value, yeah sure, it's productive. But Crowder obviously doesn't debate in good faith. He goes to college campuses with provocative messages and lures in emotional, young, maybe not the most politically informed people to \"debate\" with so that when he beats them with his prepared arguments and research he can pass it off as owning the libs. Bonus if the opponent gets emotional about it, as they often do. It's been a while since I've seen it but there was one that was about rape or abortion or something and a rape victim got angry at him. Like, no shit? They have every right to be angry with you. It's a disgusting way to do business, and that's why it's so satisfying to watch him get owned by one of those kids that should have such a disadvantage on him.", |

Or how small I felt I that big room with the giant clown. Or the Aliens vibe.... \n\nI can't say I like the map design from a game play point of view. Felt a lot like the smaller descent maps (which I also don't really enjoy). \n\nCatacombs is in a similar spot.

At least Nightmare is far better from that aspect. \n\nMy favourite map is still Outpost.", |

| "The amount of oversimplification in these answers is just sad. Let me try fix is with more oversimplification. \n\nBasically Vietnam was a French colony (got invaded in the first place due to colonialism) before WWII, got invaded by the Japanese and after Japan surrendered the French tried to reassert their control despite everyone telling them is a bad idea. \n\nThe local guerilla fighters who had resisted the Japanese now started fighting the French. So the French set up their own puppet state over there (giving it limited autonomy) to appease the demands for independence. It didn't work and the war continued. \n\nThen Mao won the civil war in China and the US suddenly realised all that power vacuum left after ww2 could easily result in all of east Asia being overwhelmed by communist revolutions. So they started supporting the French in their fight against the communists in Vietnam. This only intensified when the Korean war started (communist North-Korea invaded South Korea) and America's worse fears were seemingly proven true. \n\nIn 1954 after the French suffered a few big loses on the battlefield and the war grew unpopular in France the Geneva accords were signed. Basically, vietnam gets split in North (Viet Minh, communist) and South like Korea and in 1956 free and fair elections are held to unite it. Which never happened because both sides didn't trust each other to hold free and fair elections. \n\nSo the North Vietnamese decided to solve the issue by military means but instead of directly invading the South like North Korea did they started a domestic insurrection over there (which was later reinforced by their own troops). The USA first offered limited military assistance to the South and then got more and more involved until they were balls deep fighting communist guerillas in South Vietnam without being able to invade the North since they feared China would join the war. The USA also exerted influence over the government of South Vietnam which made the North see it as an illegitimate American puppet-state. Meanwhile the South and the US saw the North as Chinese, and later Soviet, pawn in Indochina.", |

| "Don’t let my profile pic deceive you, my answer is genuine. \nBeing the first of someone is a huge honour but an equally big responsibility. If it’s a good guy, he will give you all the time you need, whether that’s 1 hour or multiple months. And even if you say you want to try it and in the midst of things you decide not to, it’s okay to say ‘no’. Once again, if he’s a decent guy, he will totally accept that. Sex is fun. Exciting. Intimate. But it can be quite psychological as well. I also have had difficulties, but my current partner erased all the doubts that I had. The most important thing however is communication. Always communicate with your partner how you’re feeling about certain things. \nBut hey, you made so much progress already and you came from so far, you will nail this and a new door will open. You can do this 😉", |
| "First, just take a deep breath. Your first year is going to be overwhelming and stressful no matter where you teach, and it's ok to not have everything figured out. It's still early in the school year, so you have time. Also it's a HUGE change coming from a rural district into a big city one. They are typically not run the same at all and big districts often feel way more intense. I've heard this from other teachers over the years, so you're not alone. \n\nSecond, I know it's hard not to stress about observations, so I'm not going to tell you not to stress. However, know that they aren't the end all be all. Things probably won't go perfect and that's ok. It's how you react to those not perfect moments that truly matter. You're going to do fine! Good luck!", |

| "That I don't know. Worst I can think of them doing is if the cats go bad and clog and hurt the engine but if your O2 sensors are still operational that shouldent be an issue. \n\nWhat I know about long term is UELs are bad for turbos because of the unequal exahust pulses feeding the turbine but we don't have any of that so I don't really think there could be any issues. Exahust is just a tube at the end of the day and as long as it isn't feeding gas back into the engine and is letting it breathe enough for the tune I can't think of any long term worry's. Remember Subaru was putting UELs from the factory on cars even with turbos.", |
| "I was diagnosed with a rare immune condition that most doctors aren't familiar with and there is still a lot being learned about. What sorts of doctors are you working with? My GP is good with the day to day stuff but even he admits, I'm way above his knowledge, so I'm off to the specialists at the research hospital to get proper care. \n\nMy endoscopy didn't show sign of inflammation, but again it depends on what you are looking for. My mast cells were the culprit and you need to stain properly to check for them, though it's not the best method to do so. \n\nWhat are all your signs and symptoms? Do you keep a journal? My worst symptoms were sometimes the secondary or tertiary symptoms to the actual condition causing the issues. \n\nThe only reason I'm pushing is that you have signs and symptoms of something else causing the fatigue. It can take a long time to get answers, but don't stop. My doctor thought I had celiac. I thought so as well and I would have stopped at that, even though the testing showed nothing was wrong just because going gluten free helped. Well, I decided to keep pushing for answers, and it took years (4-5 years now) but I have answers and treatment and my life back. \n\nAnd please take some B12 if you are low. I develop small fiber sensory neuropathy even when my levels are on the low end of normal. It is one of the things that causes the severe fatigue. It still blows my mind that something so stupidly simple and obvious could cause so much damage.", |
| "I think it's an okay expectation to have some level of \"fun\" in your work. If they mean that their classes are in a way painfully boring, or unengaging then I think that's a valid thing. Maybe they chose the wrong path and they should change it.\n\nI do think though that you can't expect every aspect of learning to be fun. There will be some less engaging subjects people have to learn even if they overall will be content with their classes.\n\nIt's definitely a rude thing to say to someone. Fun isn't the same for everyone, I'm sure OP has fun it may just look different for them. So I definitely agree it seems very ableist to say that to someone.", |
| "I dunno. Unlike with shirts, you always have a base layer underneath (underwear) taking the brunt of your body's malodorous processes. So I wouldn't call them essential like boxers and shirts. Also, shorts tend to be for hot weather and sweaty active activities, and it might be easier to have a thin, quick-drying synthetic that you wash slightly more often than you would the merino shorts.\n\nEDIT : also durability is more important for shorts than shirts because of the existence of sitting lol.

| "I think Tintin au Congo is still published on a regular basis (at least in Europe).\nI understand your feeling regarding the movie, and that's true that it is quite different than the original comics. Yet I'd be less severe, I wouldn't say a 3 minutes car chase is enough to disqualify the entire movie. There's been a lot of car chases in Tintin comics and animated cartoons. There's been a lot of slapstick comedy too. Even if the scene is a bit extreme in its execution (new times, new standards I guess) I wouldn't say there is anything that strikes me as a betrayal to the characters. At least the sequence is technically good. Plus, the Moulinsart estate is very meticulous regarding what is done with Tintin, so I don't think that scene was necessarily a betrayal to them. I was more sceptical with the duel of cranes at the end of the movie though...\nAt least this movie exists, and it doesn't negate the previous existing material. It is just another take, trying (maybe too hard) to fit with some international audiences expectations. If it can make people discover the comics and old cartoons, why not.\n\nI kind of share your feeling regarding Ready Player One though.", |

| "Yes, we will see - that kinetics will have a mod. \n\nYou just keep ignoring that the part about Osmosis is for the specific case where you want to cover multiple weapons with one mod, since it's impossible to have kinetics in more than one slot. \n\nThe \"specific reference to exotics and their catalysts\" is a specific statement that the weapons will generate orbs **WITHOUT** a catalyst via the new mods. You are twisting explicit single sentences so far just so you can continue your pessimistic parade. \n\nEdit: As for treating exotics and legendaries differently - there's the section about how part of the rationale for the change is because weapon crafting progression will ask you to generate orbs with weapons. You think that you just won't be able to craft kinetic legendaries, or only kinetic legenearies with Osmosis?\n\nYou want to agree to disagree, so this comment is more for the people who stumble on this comment chain and get confused by you ignoring explicit statements from Bungie.

| "I studied in the UK alongside agriculture students while doing a degree in wildlife conservation.\n\nThe general consensus amongst agriculture students was that being ecologically conscientious was laughable and pathetic. Ecologically friendly practices were merely an obstacle. Tractors (and their cars) should put out as much smoke as possible.

I had plenty of ecologically conscious agriculture friends.\n\nI was always baffled because the mindset meant that they'd destroy their own business. But it seemed that they formed an identity around laughing at eco hippies, moaning about how they can't get subsidies unless they follow certain ecologically friendly practices, making sure their cars pollute as much as possible, and wanting to slaughter anything that moved that isn't livestock. An identity more important than their livelihood.\n\nAlso, kind of unrelated, any time I'd pick the vegetarian option at lunch (I'm not vegetarian, it's just sometimes the meat option was gross) I'd have SOMEONE tell me that I was eating \"rabbit food\" or a comment along those lines.

Everything she says, she does, the people who she tags along with, all of those things are planned and carefully thought of. She's meticulous, she always KNOWS what she's doing! When Merula roasts someone, she always does it right! There's always a deeper meaning to anything she says too, which gives the player a lot to think about (even if you don't want to). \nTaking in account that her parents were arrested 6 months/1 year before she entered Hogwarts, her behavior was VERY tame imo. \n\nAlso, I'm sorry to know about your friend's mom. My father, who was very dear to me, passed away when I was a child and it's still one of the things that hurts me the most. Hope your friend's doing better now.", |
| ">I do share a lot with the greens but they themselves haven't really made an impact do to ineffectual leadership. The left overall has been ineffectual because we don't know what it means to foster local support, we prattle on about things we've learned in our [insert name here] studies class and fail to really connect. \n\nAgreed. I think we know what it means to organize its just difficult because we are organizing those at the bottom of the economic scale. Those who are disenfranchised arent reliable due to the nature of transient work/the squeeze of capital and the burden of being in the excess pool of labor.\n\n>And this is to organise the entirety of the left from deep reds to greens to everything in between. We need to get the left as a whole amongst the people and work amongst the people. \n\nI agree with this wide coalition but its difficult due to the deep ideological differences. How to bridge that? That's an incredibly difficult question. Soft reformist liberals with deep red/anarchists? Not really feasible. The net cast has to be wide but strong enough to hold what it catches. \n\n\n>My strategy would be only to fight at the local level until we were strong enough to challenge nationally and then internationally. We need to capture the largest cities first, Greens have little support or presence here in NYC, because they haven't truly been focused on the local level, always with capturing the presidency. \n\nAgreed. This is the only way right now to acquire power. Using the official channels not only gets power, but respect from the most adverse populations (petty bouge and the like). The left cannot rely on subversion/reaction anymore. That's only to win labor struggles quickly. They alienate broad support while providing a short spark for those in labor. That spark must be nurtured into a flame that may light the way for the rest of us.", |

His most perfered speaker is a neutral speaker with rolled off highs.\n\nHe does also enjoy a boom and sizzle type speaker like the rp600m which sounds counterintuitive for some one who is sensitive to highs untill you realize he tends to set listening levels to where the midbase sound best so since both the base and highs are lifted equally in a speaker like that the highs don't get elevated against the rest of the music.", |

| "The featured crystal just dropped, and I was fortunate enough to snag Spidey Supreme twice! Reading his abilities, I have a feeling that he may be very good for the spider EOP, so I took him straight to R3 to test it out. My team is Spidey Supreme, S2099, and Venompool (swap for miles later). I took the left path.\n\nSpidey Supreme fought Hercules first, and Spidey COMPLETELY countered all nodes.There are a few things that make this fight very annoying. First up is the concussion node, which applies a passive concussion to you every 10 seconds. Next, Herc will gain an unblockable and indestructible node every 15 seconds. Lastly, there is the recharge node. Since Spidey's powers cannot be altered by ability accuracy, he essentially disregards the first node. If Herc doesn't cooperate, the second and third nodes can make for a very disgusting combination. Herc is indestructible from the node, but you have to be near him to remove it, and you can't hit his block since it would shoot him up to an SP3, which means that if Herc decides to go passive, you're dead. However, Spidey is exempt from this because each buff on the opponent reduces their power rate by 33% and transfers it to Spidey. So while Herc is indestructible, you can just hit into his block, and Herc will not gain any power at all, and instead you will gain a tonne of power. Because of the block damage and herc ignore miss, I had to restart this fight eight times.\n\nThe second fight is VP against Havok. Parry to get armor, and don't explode. (4revive because I exploded)\n\nThe third fight is the reason I brought VP in. 11-minute solo, just play nice and slow; don't even stress about intercepting since VP has decent crit from his buff.\n\nSpidey takes on Nick in the fourth fight, and he's okay; his SP2 deals around 100k, and more if you can get Nick's fury through heavy.(5 resurrected because Nick SP1 bad)\n\nSwap VP for miles, and the fifth fight is Miles against M.O.D.O.K., hit his block six times, bait SP 1, and you'll go invisible. (15revive because I'm bad and tilted; this should be a simple fight, but I'm getting a few missed inputs; perhaps it's just me being bad.)\n\nMiles vs. Blade is the sixth fight, and while Miles should just cheese this, when my right thumb swipes back to dex blade's attack, it sometimes registered as a parry. \nSometimes I would parry and dash back at the same time. This is fine most of the time, but the blade had destructive feedback.(15 revive oof, I'm terrible)\n\nNow, Spider-Man Supreme really impressed me in the next fight.It's a one-revive fight, and it could have been a solo had I not entered the fight with 50% health. What you want to do is avoid his garbage tornado and keep dashing back. When fighting any Terrax, this seems obvious, but Terrax had Powerful From Afar in EOP, and dashing away still leaves Terrax with power.However, Spidey reduces ability power rate for each buff they have, and Terrax usually has three buffs on him (Spider buff, Power gain, and indestructible).You'll gain a TON of power after he throws an SP2, so throw your SP2 to keep him away; the burst damage even triggers on block.\n\nThe final fight before Thanos is with Dragonman, and he's a pain. At first, I used Spidey to test out the power control,it's decent but the constant unstoppable and unblockable is just too much to handle. After 4 revives, I decided to use S2099, and he's amazing for this. Just get to your SP2, and you can slow-play the whole fight. Spidey Supreme's synergy with him is AMAZING; it extends the pause by 3 seconds, greatly reducing the fight's stress.I used another six revives here because Dragonman wasn't cooperating with me earlier. If my Spider-Man was duped, it will be even less because I was caught by Unstoppable and had to revive him one more time. \nAnd the final Thanos battle with S2099 is a farce.\n\nFinal thoughts: I'm really impressed with Spider-Man: Supremacy. I didn't see many positive comments about him on YT, save for a few YTbers, but he's really solid for the spiders' EOP. I encourage those who got him in the featured section to give him a go in the EOP. I believe he will impress you as much as he impresses me.", |

| "Yes, there's a few viruses that have documented occurrences prior to something like CFS. CFS is sometimes just referred to as a post-viral illness or post viral fatigue syndrome when it doesn't conform well to typical symptoms but there's still strong and persistent fatigue but it's a messy diagnosis a lot of the time because it's hard to definitively prove beyond certain symptoms which are largely self reported.\n\nI got mine after infection with cytomegalovirus or CMV, but many get theirs after incidences of Epstein Barr Virus (often just called Glandular fever). The fact that covid can leave similar symptoms suggests there may be a common link between them but even if there's not many treatments that treat symptoms could probably still be applied to people suffering from fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome.", |

| "There's a zombie book called Rot and Ruin that had a take on it that I liked. In that series, its eventually discovered that the rot on the zombies is actually functionally superficial, and is the result of the virus redirecting all of the bodies energy towards shoring up the skeleton and the basic muscle groups needed to move, bite and eat. None of the zombies are technically dead; instead, the virus cuts of resources to everything but the bare minimum needed to shuffle and attack, buying the host decades of \"life\" in the process.\n\nIt could be something similar to that; that the virus acts as a preservative agent on the stuff needed to run and attack, and the zombies go into something akin to a power saver mode whenever they aren't actively trying to kill something.", |
| "My Bissell liftoff bagless upright is disintegrating. The plastic is just breaking off of it in chunks. I’ve repaired whatever I can with different kinds of strong tape, but now the airflow guides on the bottom have broken away. It’s probably about 7 years old. It’s time for something new. I found a Hoover Air something on sale for $99 CAD but when I tested it out I found a design flaw where the extension wand clamps into the body of the machine. When you push it forward the clamp disengages and when you pull it back the hose comes out. Returned. I see that many of the cheap uprights are using this design now and I don’t like it. So: I found this sub and now I’m starting to think that maybe spending a little more on something better would be wise. I started considering a refurbished Dyson DC66 ($299 CAD) but the feeling in here seems to be that’s not such a great idea. What about a canister vac with a bag? My home is about 1200 square feet with mostly wood floors, wood stairs and a few rugs. We have a dog. I found that I would have to empty my current bagless machine twice when doing the whole house so I’ve always thought I would be burning through bags if I went that way. Attachments? The dog bed and the stairs currently get cleaned with the small upholstery brush. The Hoover I briefly tried had no brush and wasn’t liftoff, and didn’t really have a long enough hose to do the stairs. How do you do stairs with a canister? Does anyone have a problem finding cheap bags or is it wise to go with branded bags? Thank you", |

Whether the aforementioned characters and the Infinity's wreck just got left behind, somehow, we're left to guess at. How they might have been left behind but the Chief, floating around in space, got pulled into the portal? Not clear!\n\nThis is the most frustrating thing to me.

| "I disagree, a solid defence expenditure is quite important to things like trade, especially for the UK, where waters all around us can get quite violent. The Royal Navy is on the cusp of catastrophe. Defence has been salami sliced for decades because it's an \"easy target\", and many ministers believe there are no votes in it, obviously, plainly wrong.\n\nThe Royal Navy for example allows the UK to defend and supply aid to areas of the world that few others can affect. Though, looking at the history of the RN, we've gone from ~58 frigates and destroyers in 1982 (Falkland War era), to 19 today. And yet people still believe we spend too much. As a percentage of GDP, we spend less than half of what we did back then today.\n\nMost people don't understand that -- they see bombs being dropped in Libya and Iraq, and assume we're hyper-militarised, and we're not. At the same time, others believe we're still as influential militarily as we were 30 years ago, and again - we're not. Put these two together, and you have successive governments that are able to cut defence but still go to the electorate and claim we have a 'strong defence', when we have literally no reserves, at all.\n\nIt would take us more than our entire Navy to mount an offensive the scale that we did in 1982, whereas back then, it took us around 40% of our major surface ships.\n\n[It's a sorry state of affairs and](https://gyazo.com/fcfd0dab7521b1676866ffdb24901f25) [people need to be more informed about it](https://gyazo.com/7f13150673bfe119ad7537e54207e8e5).", |

Austria's attention would have to increasingly turn towards Italy and South Germany (where they're trying to shore up their influence against rising Prussia and Sardinia-Piedmont/Italy), and without the Ottomans filling the roll are the next obvious candidate for \"Sick Man of Europe\" unless the Russians stay on a Reactionary course. Nor would pushing into the Hungarian Plain be particularly useful for the Ottomans, who if anything would prefer to not see a vacuum where Russian influence would rush into. \n\nWe also likely would not see WW 1 as we know it, as theres a fundimentally different balance of power in Europe and no strong Slavic nationalist pressure on Austria from and Independent and rising Serbia with Russian backing. Though a Great Power conflict never taking place is unlikely, its almost certain to come under different circumstances and have the nations involved in different states. For example, a dispute between Italy and Austria \n\nAs for Orthodox Christian Terrorism, that could be interesting, though.

You can even do this with 3-slot weapons and upslot to save costs. Rate for an upslotted Power IV transfer is 96% with the 40% Excube, or 100% if you do it this coming Tuesday, which boosts all S-Atk affixes by 5%. If not upslotting you can just use a 30% excube to guarantee the transfer.\n* Use this precursor with three Deus Factor fodders (one of which also holds an Escarde soul), an Extreceptor fodder and a Soul Receptor. There must be a second copy of Power IV in one of these 5 fodders as well, and then you'll be able to transfer the whole lot upslotted into a 5-affix result, where the only non-100% result is an 87% Deus Factor transfer with this Tuesday's bonus. Repeat this step in the 1/9 chance that you failed, until all 5 affixes are on your weapon.\n\nIf you're using the weapon's special ability factor (unlocked at +35 grind), use that instead of Power/Spirita IV. The S-Atk focused Power/Flict/non-SAF version of the affix will give a total of 115 Atk, 20 HP, 12 PP and 10 Dex in 5 affixes.\n\nUnless your weapon's SAF gives something like Power VI in itself, in general shooting for 135+ S-Atk is actually either bad or very expensive, since it's generally achieved by doing stuff like affixing Modulator (an effective 3 pt affix on a weapon where usually only one attack type is ever used) or affixing Elegant Power (which requires an AC item that is sold for ~30m).", |

Left Hand Ditch Co.](http://www.cwi.colostate.edu/Media/files/seminars/GRAD592/2018/223_Reading2.pdf) demonstrates the priority of appropriation rule which predominates in the Western United States, where water is relatively scarce. In this case, Left Hand Ditch Co. owned land in Colorado which was irrigated by Left Hand Creek via a system of dams and ditches which diverted water from St. Vrain Creek to supply both St. James Creek and Left Hand Creek. Coffin owned land adjacent to and irrigated by St. Vrain Creek downstream from the diversion point. During a drought, water stopped flowing from St. Vrain Creek to Coffin’s land. Coffin went onto the plaintiff’s land and tore out part of the dam. Left Hand Ditch Co. sued for trespass and for an injunction against future trespasses, and Coffin claimed a riparian right to the water. The courts applied a priority of appropriation rule, rather than riparian doctrine. The court observed that the priority of appropriation rule was necessary in Colorado because the state’s dry climate and soil made artificial irrigation “an absolute necessity” for agriculture. \n\nThe prior appropriation doctrine, sometimes called the Colorado doctrine, predominates in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wyoming. These states are relatively arid, with scarce water resources. Irrigation is a necessity rather than an artificial use. The prior appropriation doctrine is intended to encourage using limited water timely and beneficially. The first owner to appropriate water for a beneficial use obtains a prior right and can use all the water without regard to other users’ needs or wants.", |

The shebang at the top of a Perl script tells the system where to look for the Perl interpreter; freebsd keeps theirs in a different place than Linux, so shebangs to /usr/bin/perl fail unless there's a symlink there pointing to /usr/local/bin/perl. Some people suggest using env to find perl - but the necessary environment variable for that to function isn't typically set in a default cron environment, so if you do that, generally when you manually run it from the command line in an interactive shell it works fine, but cron jobs fail.\n\nYou can work around this by invoking perl directly, ie ` /usr/local/bin/perl sanoid --cron`, or by symlinking from /usr/bin/perl to /usr/local/bin/perl, or by editing the shebang in your own copy of sanoid to match your system's path to Perl.\n\nAside from that, syncoid has a problem with tcsh's non-bourne-compliant handling of pipes and redirection ; if it finds and attempts to use mbuffer, it will fail unless the shell being used is Bourne (ie /bin/sh) compliant. sh, ash, bash, etc are all Bourne compliant; tcsh is not.

This is only sometimes followed with the child expressing preferences that would be termed gender dysphoria. The child (born and currently living as a as one sex) says to their parents something like “God made a mistake” or “something went wrong in Mommy’s tummy” because he should have been a girl, not a boy (or the other way around).

After that it would be some form of typed syntax expansion.\n\n> And, after we get to the step after that, will macros really seem that fundamentally different from functions?\n\nWell, yes, because macros a expanded at a different point in program execution from functions. You point out that you can do much of what is done with macros using functions; there's no reason why I couldn't have a `with-output-to-file` function that takes another function as a parameter, and have the function passed in have it's `stdout` swapped. I don't know if you've used Node for anything complicated, but this get's messy pretty quick! The point of syntax (which I prefer) or macros (which I use when I have to) is to group similar syntactic constructs together into one unit; a function, on the other hand, is meant to group similar data processing instructions (generally). So, they're quite similar, but operate in different domains. \n\nI would also point out that we've had hybrids in the form of [FExprs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fexpr) since the beginning of Lispy time, and they've proven difficult to work with, though they have interesting properties. They have all the disadvantages of Haskell's laziness (i.e. they can be difficult to reason about, and difficult to optimize without a good compiler such as GHC) and none of the advantages (since, like macros, you have to call `eval` explicitly when you want a result).", |

| "They're also doing everything wrong in terms of hype. I was talking with a few buddies who are very excited about Wildstar (I am as well) and we ended up discussing how they're doing a lot right hype wise, as long as they hit their release date goal in Spring. They're allowing certain streamers to stream 1-15 content now (since mid-December), presumably upping it to 15-30 content soon, maybe 30-40 in another month, and 40-50 a month after that (50 is the max cap). They've been streaming and releasing in depth videos about every class every 1-2 weeks now. They have new content and trailers they talk about in those streams that they also post online. \n\nMeanwhile ESO is still under **tight** NDA. Not a single soul can talk about what it's like without risking retribution. They haven't released many videos about it. They're not allowing people to stream content. Even if it seems pretty good, those *people* who have played beta can't defend it or hype it. And it certainly doesn't help that rumours have been spreading that they're already planning to switch it to F2P 6mo after release unless it does extremely well. It's just an all around PR mess.\n\nFor the record Wildstar is also going to be subscription based--but I'm actually going to pay the subscription. At least that's what I've convinced myself after watching dozens of hours of video--haven't gotten a shot to play it myself yet.

| "For effects, I'd recommend using what you already have. I went fairly all-in on modular as a guitar player, and to be honest, most of the *\"cheap\"* eurorack effects are easily out-classed in terms of sound by guitar pedals in the same price range. I ended up selling almost all my euro-rack based DSP effects unless it was really wacky and very much in the vein of experimental modular music - *i.e. Morphagene and Endorphines Grand Terminal (which does a lot more than just effects)*\n\nThough, for flexibility with effects pedals in modular, perhaps look at a Strymon AA.1, which acts as a stereo effects loop for modular signal. Dead simple to use, and has 1/4\" jacks. I use one in my set-up for a number of reasons besides effects. Having multiple outs is very useful.\n\nOutside of that, I'd consider perhaps some other oscillators and filters. Digital wavetables oscillators through analog filters can sound really nice and incredibly retro. There's also a number of modules out there that are clones of other renowned vintage synths circuits. You could, for example, pair an oscillator with an Oberheim filter and a Polivoks VCA. The beauty of modular is that you can build the best-of-both-worlds. [**EMW**](https://www.electronicmusicworks.com/) makes some very affordable clones *(yes, even* [***a D-Beam knockoff***](https://www.electronicmusicworks.com/eurorack/distance-recorder.html)*)* with great build quality, so I recommend looking at their offerings.\n\nAs another user noted, it might be worth moving the Boog out of the case and building a big custom-voiced mono synth in the KB37.", |

| ">Obviously someone who purchases living animals and dead animal flesh to feed to their pet isn't vegan, but being a human's pet (even an herbivorous pet) strips an animal of any semblance of a natural life.\n\nDoes it matter if it's unnatural? I don't see why it should. Nature isn't all that.\n\n>It's unfair that the only plausible justification for keeping pets is that \"it's better than death.\" That's ineffectual. The cycle of breeding and keeping pets is undeniably cruel and is propagated by this way of thinking.\n\nAt this moment, there are animals suffering in shelters, and you have the choice to reduce their suffering or to leave them there. What does leaving them there accomplish?\n\n\n>At this rate, it will never end. If vegans never put their foot down and say it: KEEPING PETS IS SELFISH, AND NOT VEGAN, then the message never spreads, pet ownership remains normalized, and millions upon millions of animals will continue to be euthanized every year until the end of time.\n\nIt is selfish, but it also prevents an animal from suffering in a shelter. You believe that their suffering is outweighed by a clear message against keeping pets, whereas I think the message, clear as you make it, is not going to do any good. \n\nWhen we stop eating animals, I think that's the time to worry about a clear message about pet ownership. Right now, the cost is an animal who will suffer in a shelter, and the benefit of that clear message seems negligible.\n\n>Even most \"vegans\" don't treat their pets very well. You may be doing your best, but your best is not enough. Humans are just too different from other animals. As we speak, hundreds of thousands of animals are locked up in shelters across the world. You know what's even weirder? As we speak, hundreds of thousands of animals are locked up in homes and apartments across the world. \n\nIt's sad that they are stuck in homes and apartments. I think they live a better life than they would in shelters, so I think the alternative is sadder.\n\n>The reason why vegans don't like being told that keeping pets is wrong is because they know it is. That's the entire story. They know that the pets they have are not given a great life, they know that it is exploitation, they know that they are being selfish. It's just another form of cognitive dissonance.\n\nIt is likely selfish. But they are given a better life than the alternative. While you describe that as ineffectual, I think it matters.", |

Unless you want to live in fear forever, it is now time to go back to normal\n- TfL did not set out a metric or a timeline for lifting the mask mandate (such as if cases in London are below X or vaccination rates are above Y). While the mandate is communicated as a temporary measure it very much feels it’s intended to be permanent \n- masks are a constant, highly visible reminder that we are meant to be paranoid of Covid. It’s unhealthy and dystopian to life your life in permanent fear of illness and to think of your fellow humans as carriers of deadly infections \n- the science shows that masks are not even that effective at reducing the spread of covid. The oft-cited Bangladesh mask study found no impact from cloth masks and an 11% reduction from surgical masks.

Its a Souls-like but with an open world instead of the winding interconnected map that the soulsborne series makes use of.\n\nAs you progress through the game and complete quests you'll be essentially building up your town/home base which allows you to craft better gear and items. Like BOTW there are no stats to increase other than health and stamina so making your character stronger is entirely dependent on the weapons and items you find and upgrade. \n\nIts also a bit easier than the souls series as the game is mostly co-op where you can partner with real people or an AI whatever your preference. I'm only about 5 or 6 hours into the game but its been a blast so far and going off your post it might be an option to look into.", |

It is an important issue, but I won't sacrifice church with my wife over it.\n\nI don't think this particular pastor would behave the way you describe. There was some event I didn't fully follow earlier this year, where ACNA said something about recommended language and avoiding the use of the term \"gay Christian\" in favor of \"experiencing same sex attraction.\" They got some pushback, and this guy was onboard with that pushback, seeming to think that the language of \"gay Christian\" was not to be avoided. My read is that he's 100% Side B, not faking it like some Side X do. \n\nAnd you're right, ACNA has a lot of connections with African provinces that are totally (and horribly) Side X. That communion is where they derive their claim to legitimacy as an Anglican province, so ACNA politically can't tell them off. But the gay issue isn't the only reason a lot of people are in ACNA vs an Episcopalean church. (Like me.) So their doctrinal positions will get more and more internal pushback as well. The whole ACNA enterprise seems to be held together with twine. I'm not getting too invested in it.", |

And if you think the placements were luck: It was only soloQ cus noone wanted to wait 2h / game and I won 8 placements earlier already on the acc \"Yasuicide\". PreSeason 8 I climbed with AP Yasuo from S2 to G3 and on another acc from S1 to G2 cus he wasn't perma banned. Then he got buffed and was perma banned again so I kinda gave up rankeds, played normals and then quit. My main problems getting out of plat were 1. yasuo was banned so much that I'd have needed a 85% winrate and only play 1 game/day to reset the dodge penality for -4 lp so I can climb by ~10 lp/day. 2. I'm not competitive at all. I can't stand humans. So I can't keep a 85% winrate.\n\n\nNow the bonus: The more you play Yasuo the more he's getting banned in your games.

Just to get some easy uniques that you won't be able to use if you kill off the player base? Doesn't make any sense at all. Too much thinking only of themselves and not for the good of the community on a whole. The game can't take much more of this stuff. Netmarble is already doing a fantastic job of killing off the game. If the players join in on the grave digging, it's only a matter of time before the coffin gets dropped into", |

| "The ferry is enclosed and also has an open deck if you want to feel the breeze. They serve food, but it isn't cheap or that good.\n\nThe ferry drops you off right on the main wharf. Walk down the wharf and up one block and you're on the main street. From here, you've got about 5 blocks of downtown in either direction. \n\nIf you head right (facing provincetown from the wharf) you'll eventually wind up in residential/hotel area after a few blocks of shops, restaurants (good for dinner, but a tad pricy) and art galleries. There are some okay stretches of beach in this direction, but nothing to write home about (unless you go a few miles down).\n\nIf you head to the left, you'll find more shops and restaurants (these are a little more lunchy/cheap). Check out the crazy army/navy surplus store and the old wharf shopping mall (or maybe it burned down a few years ago, i forget) City hall is this way too (they have info and bathrooms). Eventually you'll hit the end of ptown this way, where there are a few rocky beaches. There's also a little sandy beach here, right next to the old wharf, it's not great, but there's a really good burger joint right next to it and a kite store that sometimes lets you fly their kites on this beach.\n\nBehind the main wharf (heading away from the water) there are a few little cool things tucked away. Also, this is where you can catch a shuttle up to the tower (or maybe at city hall).\n\nThe tower. Check it out. There's a shuttle, or you can walk, if you don't mind a little hill. It also has a museum/gift shop.\n\nI would seriously suggest bringing bikes or even renting them there (tho it's pricey). All the really good beaches are bit of a ways out of town (especially the ones on the back side of the dunes). You could walk to them, but that'll be a good part of your day. Plus, the bike trails to the beach through the dunes are really cool. \n\nDo note, it's not always very warm out on the tip of the cape and it can get quite windy at times. The beaches in town are a little more sheltered than the ones further out, so they don't get as cold or windy, but they do smell more like fish.\n\nI used to go once a year for a week or so. If you plan on going back for more than a day, the best and cheapest way is to bring a bike and camp at the dune's edge campgrounds behind town. They're pretty inexpensive and relatively close to the good beaches.\n\nAnyways, I haven't been in maybe 6 years, so some of this info could be dated, but the town moves at a pretty slow pace.\n\nHave fun, and say hi to the dunes for me!", |
| ">The obvious risk of splitting a group is that the impact of the actions may decrease when you have fewer people\n\nBased on that, dividing people into doing different things in an assembly process should reduce the quantity of the finished product but it's actually the complete opposite.\n\nYou, once again, make lots of claims that you do not defend.\n\n>Compromises don't inherently require voting, and they may be resolved faster based on their specificity, but they may result in drawn out deliberation.\n\nAll that means is that a good solution has not been found. It's not as if people are still trying to figure things out for no good reason. Once again, I must ask why you are so insistent upon not solving problems and imposing a program onto other people?\n\nTo demonstrate that quicker decisions are worth it, you must demonstrate that democracy or other hierarchies are somehow quicker at problem-solving than regular old problem-solving. \n\nAnd so far you haven't provided that evidence. In fact, your over-emphasis on problems taking too long to solve means that you prioritize action even if it doesn't resolve conflict (and, as a result, increases conflict).\n\nAnd it's not even just action. You're imposing particular courses of action onto other people which is even worse than just acting without thinking because you're making other people go along with your mistakes.\n\n>Further, a compromised decision, sometimes, is worse than a more hardline decision.\n\nNo one said anything about \"compromised decisions\". A compromise is an arrangement that is supposed to mutually fulfill all of the interests of those involve. A \"compromised decision\" is a command all agree to obey which does not fulfill the interests of those who agreed. They are two different things.\n\nFurthermore, a \"hardline decision\" appears to be synonymous with \"a command which doesn't bother solving the conflict\" which is literally always worse than continuing to talk it over. When has that ever been a good idea and led to anything but exploitation and oppression?\n\n>A group where each individual is a stranger to most other individuals can naturally occur, even if the group was formed based on networking.\n\nYou haven't answered my question: \"What about them being strangers has any bearing on them 'deliberating uncoercively'?\". Answer the question. \n\nI think I've made myself clear that what I am describing bares no resemblance to any existing mode of organization. Often anarchists completely disregard the anarchist organizational structures proposed by anarchist writers, theorists, etc. Often out of sheer ignorance (such as people like yourself).\n\nThese same \"scalable models of anarchist decision-making\" entail some form of direct or consensus democracy. That is not anarchy, it's democracy. Your criticisms do not apply to *anarchy*. You use words like \"horizontal\" or \"non-hierarchical\" to describe it but those words mean different things to anarchists than they apparently mean to you.\n\n>If there are a lot of strangers acting towards one specific goal, this community based approach will be harder to implement. \n\nI'm not interested in implementing a model of organization that is clearly not anarchist.\n\n>I think, even in groups where the goal is inherently agreed upon, the specifics of the path to the goal (which is what matters) is very rarely completely agreed upon.\n\nThe specifics depend on the circumstances. Let's say a group of people want to push a rock. But oh the rock is across a river. Then you'd have to find a way to get the group to cross the river by, for instance, building a bridge or jumping across. The plan emerges through the obstacles or factors that must be considered to achieve the goal. \n\n Introducing ideology into the equation is not necessary. You don't need to vote or \"deliberate\" on anything to solve a problem. Do you need to vote when working with others on a math problem? Would voting somehow make you solve the math problem faster?\n\n>In these last two points, I will disagree with you. Systematic coercion is generally based on the threat of physical violence. \n\nNo. It isn't. See? Two can play the unsubstantiated claims game.\n\n>And anthropologists use the word \"egalitarian\" to describe societies without coercive hierarchies. \n\nWell not anarchists so who cares? Words have different meanings in different contexts. Big woop. In this context it's not egalitarian because whether something is egalitarian or not depends on whether it is hierarchical regardless of if it's coercive or not.\n\n>I don't see how I'm changing my argument by trying to phrase it in a way that's more palatable to you.\n\nPerhaps that's because it's *not* about phrasing. As much as you'd like to deny it, we aren't using different words to mean the same thing. We're using the same words to mean different things. \n\nI oppose what you want because it is hierarchical and authoritarian. This is not a misunderstanding, I completely comprehend what you're proposing and I oppose it nonetheless. There is no common ground between us because I want anarchy and you do not. I literally want the *absence* of what you want.", |

We here in the mountains, hollers, and plains know how to live sustainably and can rely on each other, for the most part, to help fill in the gaps. You envision a dog eat dog mentality that is not nearly as prevalent in rural communities as you seem to think. Poor rural people have been taught for generations to not be wasteful, especially with food, and to take care of one another because we have never been able to rely on real, meaningful help from the state. \n\nThe real question is, how do we protect the precious resources we have from those who've never procured food outside a market? \n\nAlso, no one seems to understand just how much livestock exists outside of game animals. The only real challenge will be transitioning to more localized supply chains, which is something we should already be trying to do.

| "If you're looking for surprise harass and you're confident in hitting your Q's, try mashing WQE as fast as you can, in some customs. The goal here is to have E'd and thrown your q even before your shadow has landed. My estimation is you have to have pressed the keys within .2 seconds. Watch a couple of Faker's replays, he does this pretty often in lane. It provides the least amount of reaction time for your enemy to try to dodge a shuriken. However, mechanics aside, one of the most important aspects of zed is knowing exactly how much damage you can do in an ability rotation and using this to gauge when you can all-in someone. This is easy to do if you play the champion a lot obviously, but you also need to dynamically assess how much damage you are doing to your enemy at that certain point in time, due to items and level advantages. An easy way to get a feel of how much damage you can do is just to harass. If so, wait for your w to come back up and as soon as the lane opponent walks up to CS go for it. Your ult is on a pretty short cd so it's not a huge deal if you misjudge, and if you get in a sticky situation remember you have your R shadow and flash to get out of there.\n\nLast tip! xD ALWAYS ALWAYS remember where your shadows are, and realize how much damage they can do. I'm sure you've seen plenty of zed play montages where he ults someone, gets his rotation off, doesn't kill so R shadows back, but then kills them with a EQ using his SHADOW (that's still left over from the ult rotation) to do the damage. People often forget the shadows are still there, so make use of that.\n\nEdit: to fix ability orders", |

Combine those three things, and you get people convinced of something supernatural. In short, claims of supernatural experiences already have a perfectly functioning explanation as to why people make them.\n\nHowever, every time a supernatural phenomenon is tested, or one attempts to repeat it, it seems to fail.

Why can't D'Shawn have more storylines? Was it true that Aaron Spelling didn't approve of the possibility of Donna and D'Shawn because of conservative viewers? There were so many opportunities for Janice and Alex to have more storylines around protests and such or to have a male Andrea Zuckerman in Josh Richland join the cast as a competitor to Brando instead of killing him off.

Just like every other character in the film, I couldn't help but like him, while at the same time becoming just a bit repulsed by him. Nicholas Ray did a great job of getting me to doubt his innocence, even though I knew that rationally he couldn't have committed the crime. Gloria Graham's turn as the femme-not-so-fatale is a really wonderful twist on a genre staple, which I can't understate. I can't remember the last film I watched that navigated a convention so well. \n\nAs for neo-noir, I guess I would recommend *Bad Day at Black Rock.* I don't remember this as well, and it's kind of cheating because it was made in the '50s, but it's still the best I think I've ever seen. Well, it's also not cheating because it retains the prerequisites of neo-noir, and being made in the '50s helps it because the acting styles are more typical of noir. Similar to Bogart's loner, Spencer Tracy's crippled war veteran really elicits sympathy throughout the film, also largely because of great acting (fun fact: Tracy won Best Actor at Cannes in 1955). Really the entire cast is great, but especially Robert Ryan. I generally love how they handle the mystery of what happened at Black Rock, and then the film gets even better when Tracy has to get out of town. There are also some really beautiful shots of the town that are still burned in my memory.\n\nHonorable Mentions: *The Big Heat*, *Raw Deal*, *Angels With Dirty Faces*, *Odd Man Out*, and *Gun Crazy*.", |
| "I disagree. I think alone they were far too susceptible to being overwhelmed not only because they were isolationist but because they were a very low-number race. But if they had survived and allied with the more numerous race of man (or even elves) they would have amplified each others strengths. Man is great at the numbers thing but horrible at being mighty (with a few obvious exceptions). Sky titans are horrible at having babies but great and being well... sky TITANS. They were both bigger, smarter, and stronger than modern giants, were more order oriented than chaos or destruction, and were present when humans were still a speck of an idea in the old ones minds. You cant tell me they would have been anything but a boon to the empire, the elves, and the dwarves. Imagine a world where the chaos dwarves found an ally in the eastern mountains instead of being forced to turn to hashut for succor, a world where the forces of chaos had fewer (if any) giants under their dominion, where greenskins didnt have a mobile battering ram to help them take cities. A world where there is one more powerful race helping order against chaos.\n\nAlso what civilzation of ogres are you talking about? they were plains nomads who just happened to live in an area of the world that was super fertile and abundant until the great maw fell. It wasnt like they were much stronger before the maw they just suddenly had reason to GTFO from the blighted plains of their homelands. Only the strongest stayed in the hellscape of the land surrounding the great maw.", |
| "It’s facts. Your body synthesizes everything you consume, mental, emotional and physical into 3 main vital fluids which are intimately connected: cerebral spinal fluid, blood, and semen. \n\nSR is cultivation of base raw energy of nature. It is wild and untamed without consciously applying ways to transmute, manage and sustain it so it does not become destructive. \n\nSo you have to put in quality to output quality results. SR will only get you so far if not making any improvements in diet, exercise and mindfulness, because although SR is the foundation to empowering the self, it’s only 1/3 of the pie. Integrity, health and discipline is the bigger picture.\n\nGood diet restores vitality to the blood, balances your hormonal patterns. Healthy blood = more energy distribution to all the organs, especially the heart and brain. That on top of SR will lead to balanced hormonal patterns so urges do not control your feelings and emotions and you just generally feel better, and are thinking clearer.", |

Honestly you could probably apply to every company in Canada and not get a job with the way things are right now. \n\nIf you truly want to do CS you should honestly just head on back to school for one of the after-degree programs. Its a good time too as hiring is tough right now, so you are better off in school. Trust me you would be shooting yourself in the legs if you try and teach yourself.

They can't imagine I'd get in the way of their making real money for any other reason than I wanted too make real money somewhere else.\n\nIt's almost like morality, decency, concern for your fellow man or just plain old gameplay quality is alien to them, isn't it?\n\nOf course they then go on to say things like this:\n\n>It's wisdom that indicates a price increase.

So they NEED you to buy the game, and find you don't win gambling, so buy the lot deeds off them before the game dies and saddles them with huge losses.\n\nDon't fall for it.

| "Because there's also things people like to use aside from PKP, like wanting more magic from PPPKKK, or not even wanting combos at all and just wanting to use the Charge Modifiers to do things like Set Mines with Durga, or grab enemies with 1's version of Alraune who's name escapes me. There are reasons why you should use other options over it, which is why it's not considered as OP.\n\nPKP is poor for utilizing Witch Time in Bayonetta 1, because Witch Time is extended through attacking continuously up to double the base time (2-4 sec from dodge, 3-6 from parry). PKP doesn't give you that time extension because of how short it is, so you'll want PPPPP* or PPPKKK which give you enough hits to extend Witch Time to the max and thus Maximize damage.\n\nHeck for the game's best bosses, when you get an opportunity, because Wicked Weaves knock them out of the way, Jeanne and Baldur are better attacked with longer combos rather than PKP which ends quickly and doesn't deal the best damage. \n\nPKP is strong, but there are so many strong options in Bayonetta that it gets swept aside. Why do PKP when I want to do the Lt. Kilgore Durga? \n\nHeck in Bayo 2, your damage output is your points! You want more points, deal greater damage, which means don't use PKP if you want to more easily and more quickly reach those ranks, assuming you don't just Umbran Climax, because screw sensible magic and damage balance.\n\nPKP is the least of Bayonetta 1 and 2's strong options, it's just the easiest option, but a better skilled player can make use of better options, that are stronger per situation because of their mastery of the game, and making those situations easier than if they just stuck to one combo string. In fact it's not considered one of Bayonetta's broken options. That belongs to as I mentioned above Durga Killgore and Umbran Climax. Add Rosa with the Bracelet of Time from 2 to that list as well. PKP is no where near the league of broken and universal those things are, and can get you good ranks, and in Umbran Climax's case, required for good ranks sometimes.\n\nDMC2 suffer from a dearth of options where Guns are just the least shitty and enemies aren't designed well. Melee attacks do deal more damage, and can be strong if you manage to do things like Million Stabs, or actually learn to use some attacks, but they don't do anything you can't accomplish better with guns, and with how limited your options are in DMC2, that's really all you have. \n\nTrust me, I have tried in DMC2 to use Melee to a real extent and it's awful. Just shoot enemies.\n\nIt's really a lot of compounding design problems. I mean one of the first enemies you encounter in DMC2 is a flying enemy which will prompt the player to use guns because air melee is awkward as all hell, who will then discover how powerful guns are, and how slow and unsatisfying the melee is, who will then probably not bother with anything else. Alongside as I've mentioned before, enemies that can't deal with guns like this poor pair of [doggos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uShYpI3h77Q). Guns are the optimum strategy, especially since DMC2 isn't a game most sane people want to actually get good ranks in, though they exist those poor souls.\n\nI'll admit Guns are a symptom of a greater number of poor design choices, but damn if they're not also the cure in DMC2 when you just want it over with and are too stubborn to turn the console off.", |

We're blaming Snyder because he is the director, and it is his singular 'vision' that has made Superman somehow uninspiring (how?!) and the films nigh-unwatchably grim. \n\n\nAnd of course, someone is bound to reply to that ''well why does everyone want films to be all cheesy one-liners like Marvel'' and the fact is, we don't. We don't mind films that have a dark tone like The Dark Knight, in fact I wish Marvel would do more of that sometimes. But what Snyder is doing isn't that.", |
| "The caveat is that this is a common fantasy, but we don't actually like it in practice.\n\nSource: myself and the conversation with many fellow ladies. Obviously this is not the case with everyone because women are not hive minds, and the sampling size is too small for scientific basis. So this is my *interpretation* of what I have seen. \n\nA lot of women have pressure to be \"good\", or \"perfect\", which is often categorized as being meek, neat, and kind, etc. Maintaining this image can be exhausting, so fantasizing a partner that brings you the maximum amount of happiness can often include the \"not having to be a perfect church-going, law-abiding, soft-spoken\" individual. Someone who pushes you to act on your desire instead of putting up a facade. \n\nThis is why, from my experience, this fantasy is more common in church dominant cultures (doesn't matter which church, if you hung out with with mostly church friends you had a church culture). This is also why, from my experience, as it has become normalized to \"be authentic\" and accept your imperfections, the bad boy fantasy has been dying out. Because we have less of a need of an out (of our relentless presentation). \n\nA lot of the comments have denied the phenomenon of liking bad boys, but I think it's because we don't actually like bad boys in practice. I know I have fantasized the bad boy, but I also know that if I met one in person I would want them to stay the hell away from me. This is because being \"a bad boy\" usually means you have traits that are, well, *bad*. We don't actually *want* a man who is selfish, violent, arrogant, untrustworthy, mean, and constantly a risk of prison. Those kinds of qualities just don't make a good long-term partner. \n\nThere's a subset of this where he's only nice to you, which means there's a chance that he can \"change\" if you help \"fix him\", but that's a whole different section of unhealthy that I won't go into.", |
| "You are right, for 150 you'd need 8300 furniture crafts in the best case like that. I dont remember how fast crafting goes but at 10s(it's faster for sure) you'd need more than 24h just for the final crafts. In this case you'd need 500k iron ore, 42k oil and 25k fiber. Alternatively you could do 550k fiber and buy all tge crossweave in existence. Or 130k iron 500k wood and 42k oil.\n\nThese routes are the ones with \"easy\" resource access so no reliance on rng boxes or market for upgrading mats, which ofc over time is more feasible.\n\nEdit: it could also be that the crafting is in one animation because there are no stats to be rolled similar to ammo and stuff, if that is the case it's all down to resources which imho are still the best for low level items in the day 1 scenario (3k weak solvent for lvl 150 is harder to come by solo this early with the time constraints of gathering the other resources)", |

If they wanted justice they would have dealt with this quietly when the letter was first received.

Hell, Feinstien *recommended one of the lawyers Ford was with* while leaving everyone else completely in the dark. \n \nTo help victims of sexual assault? Ford was promised that her identity would be kept secret. It was released against her will. Regardless of whether her account is true or not her name is known across the country.

There's likely climate modelling in your area, so you should figure out what to expect:\n\n* I have a house, so I have solar. There's an inverter style you can get which can disconnect you from the grid. Get that and even with a very modest battery you'll have some level of protection\n* Good passive solar design and decent sealing will make your house more robust. This is usually cheap and you just need to go around your house sealing it up (but be careful because air exchanges are necessary to keep a house liveable)\n* Third, transport. I got a bike, but I think a cargo bike or ebike is a cheap way of being able to get around if things like Petrol become a problem.\n* As others here have said, the usual suspects, canned / dried food with good rotation, just keeping an eye on the lifecycle of your food supply, buying long life milk every now and then, etc etc.\n* Look at what you're throwing out to know what you're using. It'll help you figure out what thing you're going to struggle without (eg: if you go through Toilet paper quickly, a bidet may be an option).\n* Veggie patch / some sort of productive garden, but then you also need to prep the garden to ensure no problems there. eg: If you have bees you need to put them in a place so they won't die in the heat.\n* Some sort of vocational skill like jams or canning or sewing or something will mean you can be of use to your community, so learn those skills.", |

| "At a certain point, greater rifts (GRs) do guarantee legendary drops, and on average a single GR45 (equivalent to t10) will drop 5 or so legendaries off the RG.\n\nSince the primary endgame is no longer regular rifts, any legendary items or other useful bits (gems, death breath) are mostly a bonus in comparison to the greater rift key that is the main reason for running them in the first place.\n\nDue to the free seasonal gear this time around, it is super easy on most classes to jump immediately into T6 upon hitting 70, and get right into T10 shortly thereafter (roll or upgrade for specific pieces you need for the basic farming sets).\n\nFrom there the real endgame is the hunt for higher GRs, in which you will be showered with (mostly) useful items and legendaries after each successful run.\n\nAs far as D3 failing in terms of RNG - there are four methods of getting the item you want, with increasing chances of likelihood:\n\n1) Dropped by a monster/chest - this happens, still, and can be a very nice feeling when that super-neat item that you REALLY need drops and you recognize the sprite before even identifying it.\n\n2) Gambled from Kadala - at 1:10 chances (roughly) to get a legendary on each purchase, most slots can be filled with a legendary after only a few rifts' worth of shards. Specific items may be harder to get depending on how many items share the slot (weapons and amulets are diverse and unlikely that you'll get the SPECIFIC one you want)\n\n3) upgrading rares - this is new from S4 (I think. maybe S3?) and allows you to upgrade a yellow item into a legendary of the same type. So if you're looking for a specific dagger, upgrading a dagger will give you a guaranteed legendary dagger and pretty good chance of the specific one you're looking for. The mats aren't bad to farm up - again one or two rifts' worth of mats per upgrade.\n\n4) reforging - what's that? you got that super rare item but it rolled crappy? reforge it with bounty mats and you have a 1:10 chance of getting it back as ancient! Even without the ancient, a reforge can get you the stat allocation you want without going through the hassle of finding the item all over again.\n\nFinally, the bounty caches provide a VERY steady stream of materials and easy-start legendaries that can be useful in getting the farming going. Now more than ever, the path to your particular build is extremely viable, and not dependent on buying items from other people, or even knowing anyone.", |

Absolutely no help at all. She later had my niece call me after I'd had my second baby, and asked me if my parents could pop in to see the baby since they were in the neighborhood. They live 3 miles from us anyways. I said no, that I had just put both babies down for a nap and desperately needed a nap myself. Guess who showed up 10 minutes later just as I dosed off. Yep, she was greeted with me balling my eyes out, told her I told her I was napping what did she not understand about that?

Needless to say, it sucked. I hardly ever hit over 3-4.

The RSI moderators are all too often a draconian lot. \n\nAs I said before in the previous subreddit thread on rsi moderation, the current group of mods are clearly too emotional and politically motivated to carry out their assigned duties on RSI. After reading this thread and some of the threads on CIGReport, it's abundantly clear that the mods have quite a few axes to grind and have been abusing their privileges for the last 2-3 years. \n\nI remember when Kheetah posted his furry interview thread on the RSI forums, and Toast was giving out forum bans like candy. It really shouldn't have even come to that in the first place. Toast really acts like a complete tool when the heat is on. A competent mod would of locked the thread a long time ago seeing as how the thread had become obvious ban bait and would end up causing more trouble than it was worth, which it did. \n\nI know it's against the rules to question the moderators publicly, but what do they expect when backers have little to no recourse? The lead moderator during that time often ignored backer concerns on the topic, and escalating to CS carried the potential of receiving a retroactive ban. \n\nDoes anyone really want people like this as the moderation team on RSI? \n\nhttp://i.imgur.com/HZ3a5HI.jpg\n\nNote: I don't have any issue with someone starting a Valkyrie group.

| "I'll try my best to expand on this. Forgive me for any factual errors; I'm a chess enthusiast, not a chess historian. The history of chess can be divided into four distinct but overlapping eras: the pre-romantic, romantic, classical and modern/hypermodern. \n\n* **Pre-romantic** is basically pre-Morphy. Players like Greco and Philidor. This covers several centuries and many of these games are lost so not much can be said about this era. \n\n* **Romantic chess** is roughly 1800-1890. Morphy is the poster child of this era. This period is defined by \"gambit\"-style play, where one side, usually white, sacrifices one or more pawns to gain time for a quick, often devastating attack (players in this era were not exactly masters of defense). Declining these gambits was considered ungentlemanly, so we got to see a lot of rampages by White, as Black walks into his own doom, eating pawn after pawn and then getting mated in <20 moves. **Representative game:** [Morphy vs. Duke Karl/Count Isouard: 1858](http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1233404)\n\n* **Classical chess** is 1880-1930. This period is defined by the philosophies of Steinitz and Tarrasch, the first players to attempt an objective, scientific approach to the understanding of chess. They were the first to expound upon many of the positional principles that we still consider to be of supreme importance, such as the bishop pair, central control and space. They believed that before starting an attack, you must slowly accumulate small advantages until you are guaranteed success due to your superior position. This idea was entirely alien to most players of the past, who would immediately throw the kitchen sink at the enemy king in a wild mating attack. Chess in this period became quite dogmatic; precious few openings (such as the Ruy Lopez and the Queen's Gambit Declined) were revered, and most other openings were considered to be of a lower quality. **Representative Game:** [Pillsbury vs. Winawer: 1896](http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1002579)\n\n* **Modern/hypermodern** chess is 1920-present. The revolution was spurred by Alekhine, Nimzovich, Reti, et. al., who rejected the dogmatic approach of Steinitz and Tarrasch, specifically their rigid ideas of what constituted an acceptable position. They advocated influencing the center with pieces rather than occupying it with pawns, and proved that many openings that were considered suspect or just plain unsound are actually quite playable. These players also emphasized the importance of concrete analysis over abstract principles. For example, doubled or even tripled pawns could be fine or even an asset in some positions. **Representative Game:** [Reti vs. Alekhine: 1925](http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1012326) (my personal favorite game)\n\nThere's a lot that I'm missing, but I would probably get even more stuff wrong if I went into it now, so I'll just leave it at that.", |

Now, whenever we find content of our couple there's more chance it could be featuring two completely different people and those who choose less popular LIs can kiss goodbye to their portrayal. \n\nI can only applaud RC for giving us all that variety and I know how enjoyable it is for everyone but it doesn't excite me that much.

| "This! Both our kids (and lots of friends' kids) had hard times with transitions between ages like 2.5-4.5. And you are right - that transition from screen times can be really hard. We implemented a very similar approach as jmarie2021 - setting expectations before they begin watching, 5 minute warning before its time to be done, and then 2 minute warning before. There were definitely phases where, even with these measures in place to help the transition, meltdowns would happen. So we would just take a big \"screen break\" and have no screen time for a few weeks. Then, try again and see how it goes. Eventually, our kids both learned that throwing tantrums after something \"fun\" ends was not appropriate, and they matured cognitively enough that this realization was even possible.

| ">there should be options to skip classes this semester, but under normal circumstances that isn't allowed in my program\n\nAre you sure? I'm not an expert, but I have studied three programmes at two universities and even though they sometimes make it seem like there is a set curriculum you have to stick to, legally speaking that's usually not the case.\n\nIf you don't want to enroll in a certain class in a given semester for whatever reason (be it a global pandemic or just that it clashes with something else you want/need to do in your life...) you simply don't enroll. End of story. Obviously you don't get your degree before you have taken that class in another semester then and depending on how regularly that particular class is offered and if its completion is a prerequisite for taking other mandatory classes, that might lead to problems down the line. But generally you are free to choose your classes any way you like in a given semester. And if you don't feel like taking, say, Algebra II this semester and would prefer to do it next semester, there should be nothing stopping you.\n\nI mean, it's possible things work differently where you are but that would be somewhat unusual. \nPersonally I would never have finished my degree if I hadn't had the flexibility to choose which classes (not) to take in a given semester. Especially when classes clashed with my job which I needed for money and obviously also valuable work experience.", |

The deck is designed to use Finja and Curator to siphon duplicate Murlocs from the deck, so the only duplicate you have to draw is the Anyfin. \n\nOther than that, instead of playing passive control while you wait for your tide of deadly Murlocs, you play your high-tempo Dragons. Doing this made the deck pretty much on par with pre-MSG Dragon Priest, and it didn't have too much trouble keeping up with MSG Dragon Priest either.\n\nI actually already tinkered with the idea on my own.

| "Well I do remember 2008, Apple Stock was super high because Steve Jobs was doing great with revitalizing the macantosh, everyone wanted those cool designed expensive computers. They also had the ipod and the itunes store which was booming and growing sales every year. The company was in great financial shape too, no debt and major cash reserves. The stock price was diving though, maybe because of the financial crisis? The phone.... people really didn't think it was going to work out if I remember correctly their first year sales were weak but I think 2008 was when the iphone 3g came out which was a huge hit but even so looking at their 2008 4th quarter sales:\n\nsold 2,611,000 Macintosh® computers \nsold 11,052,000 ipods \nsold 6,892,000 iphones compared to 1,119,000 in 4th quarter 2007\n\nWorldwide phone sales exceeded 1 billion units that year and iphones were about 2.5% of those \n\n\nSo I'd argue they were more of a computer/personal audio device company still in 2008 and their stock value actually made sense for the p/e ratio they had. \n\nApple 4th q 2008 eps $1.01 and expected to rise (which it did), vs Teslas highest quarterly eps $.95 (Apparently Tesla just recently started making profits in the last 2 years) \n\nand lastly Apple was not worth more than all other phone companies\n\nJust looking at one of the big ones from 2008 \n\nNokia Valuation in 2008: $59.29 B \nApple Valuation in 2008: $75.99 B \nMeanwhile Tesla Peaked at over $1,000 B in valuation which to me is ridiculous now its down to like $300+ B which is better but still seems high to me\n\nApple stock price at the end of 2008: \t$2.60 So yeah the stock market didn't have a lot of faith in Apple/the iphone quite yet. Now the price is over $100\n\nI see your point, theres a lot of hope and faith with Tesla that they will perform like Amazon did after decades of little to no profit, but its not like apple which already had a steady revenue stream without the iPhone and actually did have some fans (mostly Macintosh or iPod fans) but not enough to overly inflate their stock price which was $2.60 at that time and falling. And you're right, I was a bit skeptical about Apple iPhones, they could never break 10% of the PC market and the cell phone market was hard to crack, never would predict that Apple would be thought of as a phone company thats for sure, still I did buy my first smartphone in 2008 and it was an iPhone.

Like removing the headphone jack, a big fat notch eating into the top of screen, donglegate, removing ports on laptops for that extra 1mm. Like why remove the headphone jack on an iPad which has tons of space?\n\n2) Apple is fighting against the right to repair and again setting the trend for others to copy that this behavior is OK. See \"Louis Anthony Rossmann\" videos for a good summary of the issues.\n\n3) Ever get involved in a group text via sms/mms with at least 1 iPhone? The conversation gets split into several sub groups with each text because Apple can't be fucked to support sms right. This is a regular thing.\n\n4) As a software developer developing for both iOS and Android is a nightmare.
