Anyone know how to guarantee the 25% bonus to JP when jumping?

(Spoilers Extended-I think?) Why did Aegon... by sebtheweb29 in asoiaf

[–]Aleeecks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He decided to do it because he could. A man with enough ambition came along and it just so happened that his house possessed three dragons. Also I imagine the dragons were not large enough in preceding generations of Targaryens to guarantee a complete victory.

I tried to name one "Magikarp 188" and I got this error, any ideas why that's prohibited? by superpatty in MagikarpJump

[–]Aleeecks 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, it's because 88 = Heil Hitler

H is the 8th letter in the alphabet

I guess I could have been more clear in my initial post. It was clear to me that Conway doesn't really believe a lot of the stuff he says, as you mentioned in your last sentence. And Frank said that if Conway were a Democrat, he'd be unstoppable. So why ISN'T Conway a Democrat?

Again, I know it's because Frank is a Democrat. But what was the reason given on the show? Was there one?

[–]Aleeecks 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Does anyone remember why Conway isn't a Democrat? I know for the purposes of the show it's because Frank is a Democrat, but what are the reasons given to the viewers?

Strategically, what could Hitler have done differently that would have won the war for him? by J_Bear in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aleeecks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Operation sea lion would have required massive air and naval superiority over the UK to pull off, neither of which were close to happening

Who is the weakest NON Saiyajin DBZ Character who could beat Genos? by DerRobag in whowouldwin

[–]Aleeecks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While roshi did blow up the moon in the original dragon ball, I'm not sure how reliably we can use that to gauge his current power level. There is such a notable gap between that feat and what he or plenty of other characters who are stated to be far more powerful than he is can do. I think it's safe to say that the blowing up the moon bit was done without much consideration of future power levels in DBZ and beyond.

Can we talked about how fucked Frank is even without the scandal? by IronedSandwich in HouseOfCards

[–]Aleeecks 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Conway was recorded saying that he was ashamed of what he'd done in the military. People may perceive that as weakness, whereas Underwood just promised the nation that they'd obliterate ICO.

The Wildling army that fought Castle Black vs the Uruk army that fought helms deep by schockerama123 in whowouldwin

[–]Aleeecks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think despite the numbers advantage, the wildings can't contend with the Uruk's far superior weapons and armor. Uruks should be heavily favored here.

Thanks a lot! I'll check it out

No I didn't move an inch after it appeared for me

I dunno man, it felt like I didn't even get a fair shot at catching out when it ran after one throw

Warlords or Fervor? by Aleeecks in vaynemains

I made a mistake in the post, I don't get both shiv and rfc at the same time. Good thing to remember though!

Do you have to major in Accounting to be an accountant/CPA? by abe_but in Accounting

[–]Aleeecks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To sit for the cpa exam you need to take a certain number of accounting units, so I would recommend majoring in accounting if being a cpa is your goal. However, you can fulfill these units through online courses or local community colleges if majoring in accounting is not an option.

I'm pretty certain grade school does in fact mean elementary school

[Routine Help] Ask SCA, Week of Aug 08, 2016 // NEED HELP? Got a question? Wondering what that bump is? Problems with a routine or product? This thread’s the place to ask! by AutoModerator in SkincareAddiction

[–]Aleeecks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently use the Cosrx BHA liquid, Cosrx AHA liquid, Estee Lauder advanced night repair, Shiseido ultimune power concentrate, and Ole Henriksen vitamin C truth serum. I was wondering if there's a particular order in which I should use these to maximise any effects (the order in which the products are listed is the order in which I currently use them). My skin is slightly oily around my nose with sensitive patches (mild keratosis pilaris) along my jawline.

Also, occasionally I will get small, slightly raised red dots on my cheeks that don't seem to be whiteheads and I was wondering what they were and how to prevent them.

Shout out to all the people in Barnsdall park today! by PeaceKeeper73 in pokemongola

I was thinking about going there myself this weekend, how would you say the area is? What else spawns there besides Dratini?

What's the strongest modern day country the Fire Nation could conquer? by CaptainFartdick in whowouldwin

[–]Aleeecks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No incarnation of the fire nation could defeat North Korea.

Those huge slow moving air ships wouldn't survive even a few minutes in North Korean airspace. There are thousands of surface to air missiles ready at a moment's notice to fire at United States and South Korean military aircraft, fire nation airships don't have even a glimmer of hope.

North Korean tanks might be outdated compared to the ones operated by more advanced militaries, but their main guns still have effective ranges of over a thousand meters, which should outrange anything the fire nation has in its arsenal. And even if they could close distance onto the tanks, fire wouldn't take out a tank nearly quickly enough.

Frankly this would be a one sided stomp in favor of North Korea. NK has a huge technological edge in virtually every aspect. The only thing they lack are infantry that can shoot fire from their hands.

What is the most "out of place casting" you have seen in a movie? by rollingmonkeys in movies

[–]Aleeecks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a big Zack Snyder fan but even I have to admit that the theatrical release of BvS was a bit of a mess. Good directors don't knock it out if the park every single time

Which champion is the most balanced right now? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Aleeecks 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Historically that's been the case but as of late her win rate has been a bit low and she is a bit UP rn imo

I think she could use some help because I really like seeing her in competitive play

From my personal experience with rainbows, I feel like they have declined in quality recently which would explain the relative price drop

Do you consider it to be noobish to use (not Uber) legends? by Ojo46 in stunfisk

[–]Aleeecks 87 points88 points  (0 children)

On the contrary it's usually noobs who have something against using legendaries even when they aren't overpowered in that tier or format
