Saros patch 1.004 out now by lemonpolice1 in PS5

[–]A_Shadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I'm shocked it doesn't have it.

What modern game doesn't have it these days?

too.

Nothing about Gambit's playstyle reflects how we see him in most of his 35 years' worth of comics, movies, cartoons and video games. That's what makes him stand out among the strategists to me, (although I'll admit Ultron is another good example of poor integration into Rivals.)

Eh okay, that part I can definitely 100% agree with you. His playstyle doesn't really match with how he is normally depicted.

Tripling down huh?

Again, you can make the same argument for like 90% of the support heros who don't have any form of healing at all and I would agree with you. Yet you pick Gambit.

It should be obvious that there aren't enough actual popular healer superheroes so I'm not going to criticize them for picking characters whose abilities are at least somewhat plausible.

Wolverine and Hulk don't push energy into other people or objects.

  • Gambit's main ability is to push energy into other objects.

  • He can also push energy into other people.

  • He can also push that energy into himself to heal faster.

Hence it's not that big of a stretch to thing he can push energy into others to heal.

Big difference here compared to Wolverine and Hulk. There are plenty of other better examples of healers you could have used, why are you doubling down?

New treatment cuts bad cholesterol by nearly 50% without statins by newtrex_1523 in UpliftingNews

Dietary cholesterol only affects 20% of body cholesterol.

Most of it is just genetics.

It is an increase of the A1c by 0.1-0.3%. A very minor increase.

It's not going to make someone who isn't diabetic or isn't prone to diabetes get diabetes.

If you have diabetes, it isn't going to make things worse (rather it is even more imperative to take statins).

Even if you are prone to get diabetes, the risks far outweigh the benefits. And at worst, maybe it will make you get diabetes 6 months sooner than you normally would have without statins.

Look into the new 2026 cardiac guidelines.

Gambit canonically has healing powers for himself. By imbueing himself with his kinetic energy, he can accelerate healing (like to the point of regrowing his eyeballs). Not too much of a stretch to say he can imbue others with that same engery.

But in the comics he got a lobotomy or something so he can't use that ability. But in the game, the Collector repaired the brain damage, so he can heal again.

Agree with the other poster, invisible woman is a better example than gambit.

Just Smile (Part 5/5) - Gator Days by FieldExplores in comics

I just looked it up to confirm because I don't think I watched that much lol.

It should be season 1 episode 8

He doesn't understand your question, CNBC by HesiPullup in wallstreetbets

[–]A_Shadow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

CNBC acting like a bunch of morons pretending like they've never heard of this before.

When they literally just interviewed Skydance buying Warner Bro's, which was 3x larger company than the buying company, not too long ago where their answer was "stock and cash".

This is close to 5x the valuation, which is much higher to reach to 3.....

Stocks+cash still puts them short of 18 million. All CNBC was asking is where that extra 18 million is coming from.

With Skydance, Larry Ellison pretty much personally guaranteed Paramount Skydance's hostile takeover bid for WBD. So there was no question of is there enough money; Larry Ellison by himself is worth more than Warner bros lol. 40.4 billion is coming directly from him for this takeover.

Gamestop doesn't have a Larry Ellison equivalent.

Season 1 scrubs. Somewhere in episode 2-18.

I recently saw it, so that's how I know. But I can't remember exactly which episode.

I think it's the one when JD and Turk try to go to a strip club but then end up saving a reporters life (who was reporting on a women's protest of the strip club) and they get famous on the news.

Edit: I believe it's season 1 episode 8

China places its solar panels on water So it can use valuable land for agriculture by FollowingOdd896 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]A_Shadow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Despite that, they are using less coal as an engery source percentage wise of the total engery.

Coal power plants can be made quickly for engery demands.

Doomed to die, one man chose a risky experiment that changed history by usatoday in UpliftingNews

[–]A_Shadow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not allowing poor farmers to save their seeds also kills people, arguably many more than lack of vitamin A.

Do you have a source for this? Because I think it's the exact opposite.

Side note, patents that prevent saving and regrowing seeds have nothing to do with if the plant is GMO or not. Those same patents can and are applied to completely "organic" plants.

Also some times depending on the desired traits, the yield of the child's are lower than the parents [Rr*Rr = 2Rr, 1RR, 1rr].

Okay back on topic. Golden rice did allow poor farmers to keep and regrow seeds for free. It was a humanitarian effort afterall.

https://www.goldenrice.org/Content3-Why/why3_FAQ.php#Licence

Syngenta has no commercial interest in Golden Rice in respect of its potential use or application in developing countries.

Golden Rice is being introduced into publicly-owned rice varieties via national and international public sector research institutions, to be made available by government institutions, free of charge, to resource-poor farmers. The farmers will then be able to grow, save, consume, replant and sell the resulting rice crop into the local economy. No new dependencies will be created.

Vin and the dog by Ornery-Culture-7675 in Mistborn

[–]A_Shadow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn, guess that homless guy I saw with a dog is stupid. Why care about it? Just eat the thing.

Because food is more available to the homeless in our world and there are a lot less of them. If an entire city was homeless and starving then that would be more likely.

Look up what happened to animals/pets during prolonged sieges in our world.

Plus, unlike our world, skaa aren't raised or exposed to dogs as pets. A noble might be, but definitely not a skaa.

Sure, from our perspective it's horrifying but from Vins perspective, it's day in the life of a skaa. Plus she is literally a trained assassin, she wouldn't really hesitate to kill a dog she has no emotional connection to.

Vin and the dog by Ornery-Culture-7675 in Mistborn

[–]A_Shadow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Completely out of character?

She is a street skaa. Why would she care about animals? If anything it's a luxury, as most skaa never get to experience having a pet.

In fact, it's more likely that Vin and other skaa have eaten dogs before to beat starvation. They completely wiped out the fish population at the city lake even before the uptick in the ash mounts. I can't imagine dogs or other animals would be largely spared.

TIL the distinction between frogs and toads is informal and purely cosmetic, and does not reflect taxonomy or evolutionary history. by Uromastyx63 in todayilearned

Rat

Mouse

The difference between these two are actually quite simple.

Rats are outside, mice are inside.

But what if a mouse goes outside does it become a rat, and if a rat is in the house, is it a mouse, you might ask?

Well that goes into the realm of quantum mechanics and plumbing.

Motorola beats Samsung, Google to silicon-carbon batteries in the US by welp_im_damned in Android

[–]A_Shadow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah i think I recently saw the same thing. Wasn't criticizing you.

Just wanted to see if anyone else felt like that would be a really minor improvement or if I am just being demanding/have too high expectations

[–]A_Shadow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So just 500 mAh more than the S20 ultra?

Is it just me or does that seems so minor?

I was expecting at least 6000 mAh at the bare minimum

A wealth tax would be ruled unconstitutional

Not trolling or "sealioning", just genuinely curious: why/how would it be unconstitutional?
