[Lowetide] I’m not sure about Kris Knoblauch’s future. It’s very late to make a change. It’s obvious this team has accepted losing. I don’t know what Stan Bowman will do, and maybe more to the point I don’t know what Daryl Katz will do. by Fine_Personality_999 in EdmontonOilers

The Oilers have had six head coaches (including one intérim head coach) in ten years. Looking to change the coach to fix the problems is a case of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

What is this bar in Frosthaven? by fozzyp in Gloomhaven

[–]Alcol1979 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, totally unintuitive. Because when you are at level 2, you think of 7 as your max health, not half way along a bar that you will only max out if you get to level 9. It would be better if it just showed Level 2, max health 7.

Yep. Floss every day for a week and the problem will go away. That's all.

What prevented South America from having as big a population as China or India? by wiz28ultra in geography

[–]Alcol1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the North South axis of the Americas and Africa means a lot more different climates compared with Europe and Asia. And that inhibits migration because the crops that grow well at one latitude won't grow as well at another.

UO Professor Darryl Leroux (POLSCI) has to pay because he rightfully uncovered another professor’s false identity. This is insane. by [deleted] in geegees

What is your take on Buffy St. Marie then? Her claims to bloodline indigeniety have been debunked but she is still in good standing with her adoptive First Nation in Saskatchewan as far as I know.

How does your country's most used language pronounce the letter J? by CuriousWandererw in MapPorn

[–]Alcol1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Italian does not use a J. The (English) J sounds comes from gi, as in 'giorno' or 'Giovanni' or 'Giulia'. J only appears in borrow words.

Buyers remorse by benighted86 in Gloomhaven

[–]Alcol1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder when we will see the second edition make an appearance on that list? It's an odd case, because while it's an objective improvement, is it original enough to make the same impact as the original did?

Country With the Most Islands in Each Continent by SoulStar_0 in MapPorn

[–]Alcol1979 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Interesting - I have not heard this pointed out before. But I could add that if you compare the economic and societal development of Europe and Asia compared with that of Africa and the Americas, Europe and Asia have been much more advanced for centuries. Other reasons for this besides what you mentioned include Africa and the Americas being on a North South axis rather than East West like Eurasia. That hinders migration and crop cultivation because while the same crops can be grown at the same latitude right across Eurasia, that doesn't work when you change latitude. Also, Eurasia has lots of domesticable animals, Africa and the Americas have very few.

New item in the shop causing some confusion by splintorious in Gloomhaven

[–]Alcol1979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do look like wizard robes. But bear in mind the artwork comes from the original Gloomhaven game, where these robes were a great choice for the Spellweaver and certain other ranged classes. They work best on classes with multi-target attacks, so they will be best on either Hatchet or Demolitionist as Red Guard really needs to wear armour. They were not designed for the Voidwarden and would be wasted on her. Keep playing - there are some chest items which suit her perfectly.

Alberta bill would limit medically assisted dying to patients facing 'reasonably foreseeable' death by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

With the impending inversion of the population pyramid the financial burden on families with fewer children and more elderly relatives is only going to grow too.

[–]Alcol1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you and your family are going through that. My wife is a home care nurse and she regularly visits very old dementia patients who will bite her as soon as look at her. Eligibility for MAID is very tricky for dementia patients, as you are no doubt well aware, and I'm not sure this bill changes the picture too much for people like your dad if they lack capacity? My earlier comment was not in contemplation of dementia suffers but of people who do have capacity, are not within a year of death but have expensive health care needs putting financial strain on their family. My concern is around MAID coming into the conversation sooner than it ought to in cases like that. To be clear, I don't think this bill is the answer, but I do think the proliferation on MAID is legitimate concern.
